Mich., has been awarded the sole right to have water craft on Guild's Lake during the Exposition.

The launches and gon dolas will come from the East, while the canoes will come from the Coast and will be manned by real Indians. There will also be Japanese sampans and junks.

MANNING IS INDORSED MULTNOMAH DEMOCRATIC CLUB ADOPTS RESOLUTIONS. Spirited Discussion in Opposition to Resolution Arises, but It Is Put to Vote, and Passed Unanimously. At the regular meeting of the Mult nomah Democratic Club in the clubrooms In the Hlbernia block last night an amended resolution Indorsing District At torney Mannnig was brought up for dis cussion. The original resolution applied to Mr. Manning personally and on motion It was amended as follows: "We further Indorse all Democrats who are judiciously and conscientiously car rying out the duties of the offices they hold." f W. G. Vaughn was opposed to the reso lution and made a spirited, but futile speech against It He said In part: "I wish to say candidly that while J do not think we will ever have cause to re gret our" action in adopting a resolution indorsing Mr. Manning, I certainly con alder it a very poor political move to adopt such a resolution at this particular time. t "Mr. Manning has another year to work and Mr. Word has three. We have put them in office for two and four years re spectively and when that time has ex pired, then we may Indorse them and we will. I can assure you, not only Indorse them but give them a unanimous vote. For the present I wish to say most em phatically that I am opposed to this reso lution and its amendment or any other orm of a resolution." ilr. "Vaughn's words, however, were of no avail. The resolution was put to a vote and carried unanimously. When asked to say a few words Mr. Manning arose and stated briefly that his views were precisely the same as Mr. Vaughn's, and while he appreciated the spirit in which the resolution was adopt ed, be deemed it an unwise procedure at this stage of the game.

The Black Patti takes herself seriously and does things from Verdi and Offenbach. She has a remarkable voice and takes good opportunity to display it She has all the airs and graces of a real opera queen and she drives to and from the theater in a cab, does Madame (Black) Patti! The star takes no part in the comedy of tho show. As John Hucker, whose mouth rivals In size that of Billy Ker sands, of blessed memory, Is the prin cipal fun-producer. It Is usually a painful thing to see col ored fclks trying to imitate themselves, but Rucker Is the thousandth "coon." He is grotesquely funny all the time, and his songs and monologues last night kept the audience In an uproar. The company sings splendidly. There are any number of good voices, male and female, and the selections are happy. Song comes un taught to tho race of Ham, as it does to the birds. The ability to buck and wing is also bred In the bone, and when "Dark town" goes out to sing and dance well, let the white "merry-merries" and mu sical comedians tako to the one-night stands. There is a bass voice In the Black Patti company worth walking ten blocks to hear. I don't know the name of Its owner, but I wish I did, for he would come In tor an extended notice. The old-fashioned levee songs by the company In a property Held of cotton were better than anything else, after the diva herself, and John Rucker. The girls In the chorus are sprightly, good-looking and tastily costumed. Most of the men in tho organization are worth their salaries as dancers, vocalists or comedians, and tho show, withal, is better than very many of the alleged musical comedies which come this way. The ap pearance of the company here Is quite a social event in colored circles and a number of receptions and balls have been arranged for the players during their stay. A. A. G. Expense Bills Turned Down. County Auditor Brandes and the County Court have declined to allow incidental expense accounts presented by Sheriff Word for the months of Sep tember, October and November, except in part Auditor Brandes says he de clined to authorize the payment of the bills because the Sheriff has failed to attach vouchers for many of the items. Sheriff Word, states that the bills cover, small items of office and travel ing expenses such as previous Sher iffs have rendered and collected with out vouchers. If they are not paid he says he will sue the county. The expense bill for September was $156, October $126 and for November $93.30. On the latter the Auditor has marked . "claimed, $93.30; rejected, $42.S0; allowed, $n0.50."

GROUND CHOCOMFE All Portland Hails Advent of the Christmas Season PORTIiAND looked beautiful yester day In the full limelight of the Christmas season, and the advance Christmas carol the great overture, which Is made up of the laughter of little children, the smiles of parents and the good-natured bantering of young folks, rose In all Its melody from the crowded streets of the shopping districts. In this song of the streets the note of selfishness Is not heard, but carried through the en tire aria Is a theme which suggests gen erosity and tho love of one's fellowman. In fact it Is a song which Abou Ben Adam might have sung, had his name not been recorded by the good angel so many ages ago. This Christmas cantata, which is now being produced on the streets daily. Is one la which children are taking the lead ing roles and older folks are being crowd ed into the chorus. But they don't mind the crowding It would be an awful grump who would object to the Jostling of the holiday shopping crowd, for Is not every one In that crowd bent on an errand born of the commendable spirit of giving? Other cities In this great land of the free may look more Christmassy than Portland, as far as Winter dress is con cerned, but It Is safe to say that the Oregonlana would not care to exchange their balmy weather and beautiful roses for all the snow between here and the North Polo. Where else in the land will one find a location as far north as this where every delicacy of every season can be displayed In open markets without danger of chill or frost? The markets of Washington City, conceded the finest in the country, never looked prettier or were more bountifully supplied than the Portland markets were yesterday. It was not surprising to hear a party of tour ists declare that they could easily imag ine themselves In Florida when they viewed the fine displays of luscious red strawberries, grapes and every variety of fruit and the great quantities of arti chokes, string beans, green peas, egg plant cauliflower, brussels sprouts, rhu barb, butter beans, radishes, lettuce, chicory, and all -other vegetables which suggest warm weather and sunshine.

The fish market la also well supplied now, striped bass, flounder, black cod and Columbia River smelt all being plenti ful. The crabs and lobsters are a delight to the chef, and shrimps, clams and oysters are in prime condition. The. butchers were setting up suckling pigs and cleverly garnished tenderloins and r roasts of different varieties against the counter attractions of turkeys, ducks, geese and game; and everywhere there was green Oregon grape, holly, mistle toe and fir boughs. For, strange as it may seem, this balmy land of strawber ries and roses the year 'round. Is the only spot in the United States where the gen uine English holly grows to perfection. The Christmas market was, according to all reports, restless and unsettled all the day. The little tape which rolls out from the ticker Indicated a heavy de mand for picture hooks, and paper weights, quoted on the market at 10 and 15 cents, respectively. The big demand at the opening of the market threatened a corner in the books, but the bears got busy, and soon the price came down a few cents, enabling small operators to play. Christmas cards, preferred and common, had a big run. and the demand became so great for them at one time that the market became panicky, and the small bulls and bears got around very lively to cover a report that there was no more of this stock on the market The day was more trying on the street ' than it was on change, however, and both bulls and bears were struggling to meet the demands which always come with the approach of the 25th. In some Instances, where a dollar had to cover presents for at least one father, one mother, several brothers and sisters, and perhaps Aunt Jennie and Uncle Tom, It looked as though an assignment would surely be made and the young operator go to the wall.
