THE HORNING OREGOFIAtf, FRIDAY, MARCH 17, 1905. MONEY NOTGDN Japan Has Cash Left to Spend at '05 Fair, SAYS THE COMMISSIONER Gomes to Install Fine Displays From Orient' PLAN FOR MINIATURE JAPAN Japanese Commissioners and Con cessionaires Intend to Make the Exhibit a Prominent Feature of Portland Exposition. Within the next few days a large force of men will be put to work constructing the Japanese village at the Lewis and. Clark Exposition. For the purpose of be ginning active work on the village, T. Aral, a member of the Japanese Exposi tion force, reached the city yesterday. He says the village will be ready in time and that it will contain exhibits and fea tures such as Japan has never before shown at an exposition. Japan in miniature, is the way Com missioner Aral describes the Japanese vil lage and exhibits. Expense has not been spared in securing the best specimens of Japan's Industries and products, for the Japanese have, with characteristic per spicacity, seen that the Oriental propor tions of the Portland Fair, where new and extensive trade relations will be evolved. Is of great importance to the Mikado's interests. Every phase of Japanese life will be shown, says Mr. Aral. There will be in cluded the exhibit that goes in the Orien tal building, woodcarving, carved ivory, raw silk and silk manufactured goods, porcelain of many kinds and of the qual ity produced only in the Orient; statuary, armament and curios. Like Streets of Tokio. Tl is the Japanese village, however, that will attract the most attention, and, knowing this, the Japanese representa tives have provided a number of spec tacular features for the village. There will be a tea garden where tea will be served by Japanese women, a Japanese bazaar, restaurant, and even a Japanese itheater. The attendants will be Jap anese, and they will live in houses of Japanese design, fitted up with Japanese furniture. In fact, as Mr. Aral says, one might easily think he was in Tokio after going through the gates of the Japanese village. Of the spectacular features there will be sham battles showing Japanese soldiers engaged with Russians. The success of the Japanese arms, of course, will be the feature of these skirmishes, although Mr. Aral declared that a large force of men will -be secured for the battles and that they will be realistic in many ways, show ing the equipment, training methods, drills, bugle-calls and camp life of the Japanese soldiers, an well as giving an insight into their methods under fire. No Danger of Financial Crisis. Mr. Aral, who is a well-fed and well groomed man, who speaks English, waxes enthusiastic when the Japanese arms are brought into conversation. Of course, he is too polite to say his "fight ing countrymen could thrash the Ameri can soldiers, but he does not hesitate to say they could maneuver most any other troops off the field in an hour. As to the rumors that Japan is getting short of spending money. Commissioner Aral does not credit them. "We have money enough to carry on the war and a few dollars extra left over to spend at the Portland Fair." is his crafty version of his country's financial state. "For at least another year we are secure, and then we could borrow all that might be needed for another year from the nations who appear to think Japan is a safe investment." ' WANT STATE REPRESENTED Former Residents of Badger State Telegraph, Asking Appropriation. Former residents of Wisconsin living in Oregon were much chagrined yester day morning to learn that the House of Representatives of the Badger State had refused to pass the appropriation for the Lewis and Clark Fair provided for by the Senate. Those interested in the embryo Wisconsin Society imme diately took up the matter and sent a telegram to Governor La Follette, ask ing reconsideration. Many private tele grams to Senators and Representatives were also sent during the day. The telegram from the society follows: Hon. U. M. Ia Pollette. Governor, Madison, "U'lr.: Fifteen thousand members Wisconsin So ciety of Oregon urge reconsideration of yes tTdn'' vote on appropriation for Lewis and Clark Fair. Our old home state must be rep resented. JOHN Z.AMOXT W. A. CLELAND. 3. K. XOLLOCK. C. T. BOWEN, H. W. GODDA.IU), F. C KXAPP. E. P. BROWN, H. L. POWERS. Committee. PLANS FOR MAIN ENTRANCE New Structures Will Replace Unat tractive Public Shelter Building. Plans and specifications for the main entrances to. the Exposition are nearly ready for the contractors. The plans show six entrances and four exits, all at the southeast corner of the grounds. Jn the entrances there are a dozen turn stiles. The entrances wil be 100 feet or more in front of the colonnades. The public shelter will probably be turned down altogether, as its usefulness is questioned, while Its failure to add ar tistic effect to the grounds is unques tioned. Near the entranceway will be express, telegraph and check offices and a local postoffice. Several concessionaires will also be given building space on either flank. AERONAUTS TO HAVE CHANCE Arrangements Are Being Made for Balloon and Airship Contests. Cash premiums for a balloon and air ship tournament At the Exposition are now being considered by the manage ment, and an announcement of the plans for- the tournament .will be published in a short time. Many communications have been received from aeronauts and inventors who are anxious to come. Among the number who wlBh to come are several of the competitors at the re cent contest in St. Louis. In nearly every instance, it is claimed, improve ments have been made over the ma chines used at the Missouri fair, and each inventor hopes to be able to oper ate his airship successfully. That the tournament wil be held has already been decided, and as soon as the RDSTIO RETREAT IX NATURAL PARS AT WEST SIDE OF LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION" GROUNDS. A number of rustic retreats are being- scattered about the Exposition, most of them In the natural park and sroTes at the west aide of the grounds. Besides thir utility as a comfortable place for resting', these retreats present an unusually attractive appearance. The rustic effect la carried out in every detail. The retreats are en closed in fences of the style In vogue in the mountains of Switzerland. Each one is built in a thicket so as to insure plenty of shade. Besides being used by visitors the structures can be utilized for orchestras and small bands for eves Ing open air 'concerts. amount of the cash premiums has been decided upon, the work of securing well-known and successful aeronauts to attend will be taken up. In connection with the airship con tests, there wil be many" ordinary bal loon ascensions and daring parachute leaps. Incidentally, there will be a cap tive balloon, wherein all who care to make the voyage may ascend to a height of several hundred feet without danger of accident, as the balloon will be attached to a stout rope, by which it can be drawn back to earth, and othor precautions against accident will be taken. NEW YORK CENTRAL BOOSTS Descriptive Literature Widely Dis tributed in the East. The New York Central has recently had printed 100,000 leaflets, of eight pages each, describing and advertising the Lewis and Clark Exposition. These leaf lets have been distributed in New York. Boston, Chicago, Montreal, St. Louis and all intermediate points. As soon as the present supply has been exhausted sev eral more editions will be printed. This is by far the handsomest adver tising pamphlet Issued by any of the Eastern railroads. It shows a panorama of the Exposition as it will bo when com pleted and contains photographs of the buildings that have been erected. The leaflet contains an article written by Frank L. Merrick, which gives a short but complete history of the great North west The article speaks of the great agricultural interests and of the great opportunities and possibilities offered In this section. It also tells of the mag nificent scenery of the Columbia River. The New York Central for some time has been devoting much advertising to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The Four Track Xews. a magazine issued by the railroad company, has contained a double-page advertisement of the Expo sition for months. It has been announced that there will be several more articles in the Four Track News relative to the Fair. State Commission Will Move. The Lewis and Clark State Commis sion expects to occupy its new quar ters at the Exposition grounds by the first of the month. The commission is yet In the Stearns building, since, it will not occupy the Administration building with the corporation, but will fit up offices in the Oregon State build ing. Staff workers and plasterers are now busy on that structure, and com paratively little work remains to be done. British Columbia Interested. W. C. Seachrest. North Pacific Coast agent of the New York Central lines, with headquarters in Portland, has returned from a trip to British Columbia. "The people in the province are ap parently as much interested in the Lewis and Clark Exposition as the Oregonlans, said Mr. Seachrest. "It seemed as though nearly every person I met was coming to Portland this Summer." Illinois Fair BiU Signed. SPRINGFIELD. III.. March 16. Govern or Deneen today signed the bill appro prltlng $2,000 for a building and exhibi tion &t Lewis and Clark Fair. TAX ON BILLBOARDS Council Will Probably Pass Bentley Ordinance, MUCH REVENUE WOULD COME City Would Gain $8000 a Year, the Nuisance Would Be Regulated, and Loose Billboards Abso lutely Prohibited. It is a wise man Indeed who can fore tell what the honorable Council of this city will do just now.. But among the strong probabilities is the passage at the next regular meeting of the ordinance regulating billboards and outside adver tising, introduced Wednesday by A. K. Bentley, at the request of the "clean-tbe-city" workers. Opposition by the two companies con trolling out-of-door advertising Is certain. The license committee, to which the meas ure was referred, is scheduled not to meet until April 2. two days before the next regular session. The opponents of the ordinance will have opportunity to ap pear before this committee and tell what grief will befall them should the rule go into effect. The theaters, too. will probably line up in the opposition column. One of the most sweeping provisions of the measure is total prohibition of all loose billboards, such as are constantly used to advertise theatrical productions. These boards, not usually too large to be carried by one man. are stuck up wherever the owner of the property will permit It. Around new buildings and excavations these hand boards can always be found, and the complaints against them have been in vain. A blow directly at the two companies is the license fee required of helpers. Each company Is to pay $15 a quarter aside from the tax on billboards by the foot, which has not yet been fixeH. Each help er or distributor of advertising matter is to pay $5 a quarter license fee, and is to bear a badge. At present each company pays JtOO a year license, -and no more. When a circus comes to town the advertising privileges are farmed out to the circus advertisers. In the name of the Foster & Kleiser Company the circus proprietor uses that company's billboards, for all the large hoards in the city are controlled by that one company. The circus man may also send out distributors with bushels of "dodgers," the men working In the name of either company. If questioned, these distributors are always working for the established company which is already pay ing its city license. Therefore the city gets nothing out of the circus. The $3 fee on distributors will change matters materially. The license per foot for billboards la up to the license committee. Messrs. Sher rett, Albec and Sharkey. Two cents per foot has been suggested. It is believed that by strictly enforcing the ordinance the city may be the gainer by close to JS000 a year. MUST PAY FOR LIGHTS OUT Hereafter General Electric Company Will Be Fined fbr Negligence. The contract between the city and the Portland General Electric Company will be changed within a few days, and 'the disagreement as to the February street lighting bill will be definitely settled. Though the understanding reached is largely a compromise. City Engineer Wanzer has won his point to a large ex tent. A penalty will hereafter be exacted from the company for lights reported out. The light committee of the Executive Board met yesterday afternoon. Here after the. list of lights out and reported to the City Engineer's Department and the electric company will be gone over every day, and the" company then penal ized for every delinquency due to the negligence of the company. When a light is reported out during the night, the company will at once be notified. If with in a reasonable time the defect Is not remedied, the penalty of 50 cents will bo applied. The February bill of $5759.62. which City Engineer Wanzer says should be only $5091.62, will be scanned, and the deductions made on the basis which- will be employed la the future. City Attorney McNary was Instructed to change the wording of the contract, that the meaning might be rendered clearer. ENGINE HORSES ARE TOO FAT Executive Board Discusses How to Get Them In Condition. How to keep fire engine horses In prima condition was discussed at the meeting of the fire committee of the Executive Board yesterday. An agent of a horse medicine which Is designed to be mixed regularly with oats, hay and bran, urged the purchase of a ton of his mixture, upon the committee. Chief Campbell stated that molasses was being used for the same purpose. "It seems to me that our horses are too fat," said Mr. Fliedner. "It must be as hard work for a fat horse to run as a fat man. Now, I am sure It would be very hard work for the Colonel to run uphill," and Mr. Fliedner glanced at Colonel -illl-ton Wledler, the rotund secretary of the committee. "Have you ever tried mo lasses. Coloneir he asked. The Colonel declared that he had not used, it for med icinal purposes, did n5t intend to, and would not allow himself to be experi mented upon with the new mixture at so much a palL Chief Campbell will Investi gate the value of the medicine.

HOW PUPILS MAY ASSIST Will Be Asked to Do All in Their Power to Make Portland a Clean, Healthful and Beau tiful City. Besides enlisting the pupils of the public schools of Portland in cash prize contests for the most attractive yards, steps have been taken to inaugurate a Junior Civic Improvement Club. The only difference from the regular organization is that the pupils will not have to pay any member ship dues. The members of the civic improvement committee on parks, trees and flowers, who will have charge of the junior or ganization, expect to succeed in securing the membership of nearly every pupil in the city. They, say this idea has been tried in several of the Eastern cities and that it has always been attended with success. It awakens in the children a de sire to see their city as beautiful as pos sible, and they invariably carry out the pledges they have to make to become members of the club: The following is the certificate of mem- A CREAMY FOOD Scott's Emulsion is cod liver oil prepared as a food Dot a food like bread or -meat, but more like 'cream; m fact, it is the cream of cod liver oil. At the same time it is a blood-maker, a nerve tonic and a flesh-builder. But principally it is food for tired and weak digestions, for all who are fat-starved and thki. It is pleasant to take ; children Bke it and ask for more. pcrrr owhx, , iwi Sket, x y. bership whicb admits the pupil into the club: The Civic Improvement Board requests members of the Junior Civic Improvement Club: Not to throw anything on the sidewalk. Paper or other trash la the street Is ua tldy and dirty; fruit peels may cause some one to tall aad break s bone; unliRhted matches when stepped on by ladles often set their skirts on fire, sometimes with fatal results. Not to throw stones la the street. By ac cident someone xnlsht be hurt or a window broken. Not to spit on the- floor of any building or on the sidewalk. It Is a dirty habit, tends to spread disease and is forbidden by the law of the city. Not to make pencil or chalk marks on buildings or fences. It makes them less neat and attractive. Not to deface the school building or fur niture. Not to leave papers and refuse shout the building and grounds. Not to pick other people's flowers or break or Injure shrubs, vines or trees. It would be dishonest and would make our city less beautiful. Not to use profane or other language. This Is forbidden by the law of the state, besides being vulgar and indecent. Not to coast on the sidewalk with wagons. It is annoying and dan serous to passers-by. Civic Principles. We are patriotic citizens of the United States. We believe that our flag- stands for the "government of the people, by the people and for the people." We are loyal citizens of Oregon. We should know and obey the laws of our state. We are also citizens of Portland. We should do all we can to make It clean, healthful and beautiful. We cannot be good citizens of our state and of our country unless we are faithful to the city In which we live. I therefore pledge myself, as a citizen of Portland, cheerfully to submit to Its laws and ordinances, to do nothing that will ren der It offensive or tend to spread disease, and to assist, so far as I can. in making It a better aad brighter city in which to live.
