For fwthor. Information purehase
the official .programme.
It has ben decided to cut the Sunday
admission rate to the Lewis and Clark
Exposition In twain. Hereafter the cost
of entrance on Sunday will be 25 cents ln
Kead of 50 cents. "While this has not
yet been officially announced the state
ment is verified by President Goode. who
states that the change has been under
consideration by the Exposition manage
ment for fomc time past, and that the
new rate will most probably go Into effect
next Sunday.
The reason for the change is that with
working exhibits closed down and amuse
ment feature? at a standstill the public
does not appear to be generally willing
to part with 50 cents per head. While
the weekday attendance has been even
heavier than had been expected of the
Exposition's opening month, the Sunday
attendance has not surpassed expecta
tions. The argument that thousands of
people would be attracted by the lower
rate met with the support of President
Good and othrr Exposition attaches.
While no official Information I? obtain
able at this time as to the probable out
come it is known that there Is a move
ment on foot to reduce the evening ad
mission rate from S8 cents to 25 cents.
Concessionaire? in particular arc urging
this change and several Exposition offi
cials are known lo support the change.
The Admissions Department, howex'er. Is
on record as being opposed to this second
reduction. The. argument of those favor
ing the reduced night rate Is that the at
tendance would be doubled or even trebled.
Thousands of people, they say. would be
willing to part with a quarter who would
not think of letting go of a half dollar
all at one time. The Concessionaires In
sist that such a change would mean
their salvntlon, as people would have
more left to spend If they were relieved
of only a quarter at the Exposition gates.
The argument on the other side is that a.
umaller rate would not make any appre
ciable difference In the night attendance
which has been .heavy and has been
growing heavier each night since the Fair
opened. President Goode declines to state
In what light the Exposition Board views
this question, but the inference might
be drawn from his manner that there
is a good deal of opposition to It.
Want to Open Sunday.
It also came to light yesterday that
the Concessionaires are clamoring for
the privilege of Sunday opening. They
claim that since amusement features
thrive elsewhere on the Sabbath they
cannot rte why they should be deprived
of the Sunday crowds. This matter ha?
not yet come to an Issue, but It Is "not
believed the Trail will be thrown open
on Sunday. In the first-place many of the
country's greatest preachers are to speak
each Sunday In the Auditorium, and a
religious gathering, with the distant trum
peting of Oriental revelers or shouting
spielers might not be the most consistent
thing In the world. There are one or
two amusement features of a purely edu
cational nature that are to be allowed
the privilege of keeping upon the Sabbath
hereafter, so it Is announced.
Very few Trail concessionaires are do
ing any great amount of worrying, how
ever. Most of them, especially those with
good features, say they are doing well.
Of court?, there is the usual struggle for
the survival of the fittest, which has
over been going on. The result will be
the ultimate ruin of Inferior attraction
promoters. One such has already closed
its door.w after taking In 70 cents during
several evenings. Those with good shows
say they are more than satisfied with
their patronage and are confident of tre
mendous Increase wlth the enormous tide
of Exposition visitors that will pour In
on Portland next month.
DEDICATION FOR OREGON.
Building Will Be Formally Declared
Open to the Public.
The dedication of the Oregon building
and the delivery of the exhibition build
ings by the State Commission to Gov
ernor George E. Chamberlain, representa
tive of the State of Oregon., tomorrow,
will be the 5Sth anniversary of the slgn
nlg of ja treaty between Great Britain and
the United States which established the
boundary line of the Northwest at the
4ith parallel. Although the Oregon build
ing was completed when the Exposition
was thrown open to the public, the mem
bers of the State Commission were reluc
tant to have the structure dedicated the
first week, as they were desirous of
awaiting the date of some historic event.
It was for this reason that June 15 was
decided upon.
Before the settlement of the boundary
question of the Oregon territory, the
Inked States was on the verge of war
with England, as this country contended
that all the Pacific Coast to the posses
slons of Russia, which then owned Alaska.
was a part of the United States by right
of discovery. At the Presidential election
of lS44"1t was one of the issues upon which
Tolk -was elected, the slogan of the cam
paign being "5M0 or fight." Statesmen
made fiery speeches and the country was
thoroughly aroused, but wiser counsel
prevailed by a compromise, and on June
15. .1846, at a convention of the represent
atlves of the two countries, the 49th par
allel was decided upon as the northern
boundary' of the United States on the
Pacific Coast.
The Governor of Oregon and hi rtaff paid an n(rial 1U to the revenue cutter Hugh McCuHoch jerterday afternoon and some of the aider buildings along the water-front almost fell over when the noise
of the ealtrte rirf4 and roared along the river. At 2 H'rtoeW three boats teak tho party on board frwn the foot of Stark atreet. It members wer Governor Georjre Ei. Chamberlain. Mrs. Chamberlain. Misses

CADETS WILL FORM GAMP
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE TO BE REPRESENTED.
Army Officers Will Act as .Judges at
Competitive Drill for
Prizes.
To prepare for the encampment of the
Oregon Agricultural College cadet corps,
thirty-two cadets from Corvallls arrived
In Portland yesterday afternoon la
charge of Lieutenant D. P. Qulnkin of
the United States regular army. Lieu
tenant Qulnlan is detailed at CorvalllB
as an instructor of the cadet corps. The
cadet corps, which lias an enrollment oC
47S young men of the. college, will ar
rive at the Exposition Tftursaay morn
ing end will encamp near the Fair
grounds between the river and the rail
road track on the location occupied by
the Washington Agricultural cadets when
thev were in Portland to participate In
the opening day parade. The Oregon Ag
ricultural cadet corps has a band of
thirty-eight pieces.
On June 1G the cadet corps will parade
through the Exposition grounds to be
reviewed by President H. V. Goode and
other officials. It is understood that
while the cadet corps are in Portland a
committee consisting of army officers of
long experience will be selected to judge
the corps in a competitive drill. Other
cadet corps from agricultural colleges are
expected In Portland during the Expo
sition and they will also be judged by
the. committee. At the dose of the Ex
position a decision will be rendered by
the committee and prlies given to the
best drilled corps.
The Washington cadet corps intended
to enter the contest, but as they had not
adopted the new regulation drill of the
United States army. thejdeclded not to
participate. Negotiations are now on
with the Agricultural College at Balti
more. Md.. and it is thought a crack
regiment will foe sent to Portland to par
ticipate in the contest. The Maryland
cadet corps, through their superb drilling,
have acquired a national reputation, but
nevertheless Lieutenant Qulnlan thinks
the Oregon Agricultural College would
equal if not surpass them in the com
petitive drill. Lieutenant Qulnlan is very
enthusiastic over the progress made by
the young men under his instruction and
says that they are one of the very best
cadet corps In the United States, taking
all points into consideration, such as their
bearing, physique of the young men and
their appearances in the field or drill.
WILL GIVE "PARSIFAL."
It Will Be Presented in ' Festival
Hall.
Owing to the fact that Bandmaster
Innes considers Festival Hall best fitted
for the production of 'Parsifal." and In
asmuch as this auditorium is engaged for
religious services next Sunday afternoon,
the "Parsifal" concert will not take place
until S o'clock that evening.
The programme will open with sacred
selections, which Mr. Innes will choose
from among the compositions of thebest
composers. Then he will address the au
dience giving an, analytical criticism of
"Parsifal." He avers that he does not
pose as an authority on music, but as
"Parsifal" has received more prominence
than any other composition, he feels there
are -some who would like to hear his
opinion.
One bj one. he will take up what he
believes to be the motives of the com
position. He will cite the motive of
"fear and then have his band render the
score, thus illustrating ably the thought
of the composer. Other motives will be
taken up in this manner. Mr. Innes states
his belief that the entire "Parsifal" is
based, upon three or four motives. In
which may be seen the whole conception
of Wagner. He Ik rather emphatic in
saying "'Parsifal" should have never been
produced outside of Bayreuth. arguing It
requires a Bayreuth atmosphere In which
to fully appreciate the composition. "Par-
srfal, he says, offers ono or two things
which he will play, that are by far V'a- .
ner'a best, but aside from these he con- .
aiders the composition dull and unlnter-
eating.

ROBBED GARDENS OF ROSES
Alter Spending Two Days in Jnll
Plead Guilty to Minor Offense
nnd Secure Liberty by
t
Pledging- Rings.
Three young men from wealthy and
prominent Eastern tamllles yesiemay
morning stripped their fingers of spark
ling diamond rings, and gave the glit
tering gems to their attorney to pawn for
cash to get them out of the City Jail.
On charges of being out on the "streets
"after hours," they were fined 510 cach.
They entered pleas .of guilty, through
their attorney. A. Walter Wolfe.
TheyVfcad been In the City Jail for twq
days ever since they were arrested by
Patrolman Ellis, of the Upshur-Street
Station. They were exceedingly anxious
to get out of their cells, and were will
ing to make any kind of sacrifices.
So severe Is the penalty for larceny
that when the defendants. William Baker.
H. Reed and H. Dover, charged with
stealing roses, were called Deputy Dis
trict Attorney Bert Haney declined to
prosecute. He stated to Judge Hogua
that he was convinced the young fellows
did not intend to steal the roses from
yards along Thurman street, and that
they did not realize how serious were
their acts.
H was therefore decided to place
charges of roaming the streets after
hours, to which the young men agreed to
enter pleas of 'guilty. This was done,
and fines of J10 each were imposed.
Having expended all their cash. It was
necessary for the three to strip their
fingers of diamond rings, which they
handed over to A. Walter Wolfe, their
attornew, to secure money with which to
pay fines and fee for their defense.
The young fellows arc here from the
East to see the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition, and got a trifle too enthusiastic.
Although having spent two nights and
days in jail cells, the young fellows ap
peared clean and tidy before Judge Hogue.
They were attired In good clothes and
had their hair combed to a nicety, form
ing a striking contrast to the usual slov
enly prisoners who come into the court.

orated with flowers of all varieties, In
cluding abundant displays of sweet peas
and grape vines. Mrs. Walter Burrell.
of Portland, gained the everlasting friend
ship of the Whitman County ladles by
supplying the sweet peas which were
used In decorating. Other Portland ladles
were also kind enough to contribute
flowers.
The Administration band gave a concert
on the veranda shortly before the exer
cises. The hostesses of the Whitman
County week will today distribute special
flag-day badges in addition to their other
attractive souvenirs. The reception rooms
of the Washington building have been
beautifully decorated for today and the

assistants, will be glad to, receive visitors.
DEDICATION FOR ILLINOIS.
Building Is a Replica of Lincoln
Home at Springfield.
Commissioner F. W. Hand, of Illi
nois, Is due in Portland today to make
arrangements for the dedication of Il
linois building at he Lewis and Clark
Exposition. The building is finished
and the furnishings are nearly adjust
ed. What worTc remains to be done can
be accomplished In a very few Jays.
The building is a reproduction of
Abraham Lincoln's Springfield home.
The architecture Is quaint and the
building stands out in pleasant con
trast to the classic structures about It.
It has a historical value, for the Lin
coln domicile has been closely copied,
even to the Interior finishings. A few
feet from the door has been planted a
tree In the same relative position as
Lincoln planted the first tree on the
original grounds. The Lincoln bed
rooms have been reproduced on the
Second floor and the furnishings are
precisely the same as Lincoln used.
Illinois -will do much entertaining,
making a very small exhibit. The dedi
cation exercises and attendant recep
tion will undoubtedly be one of the
Important social events of the Fair.
