Yesterday morning when the sun rose
up from behind the hills and cast Its rays
down upon the Wlllarael.to Valley, all was
quiet at tho Dream City. It climbed
higher and higher in tho heavens, but
not until It had covered half tho dlstanco
of the day's journey did the city garbed
In white show any noticeable signs of
life. Hero and there could be seen a
little group of people, and now and then
an occasional visitor passed through the
gates, but all was quiet, with hardly a
breath of wind to unfold tho banners and
flags that adorn the buildings.
But at exactly 12 o'clock there was a
change: It seemod as though the Exposi
tion was suddenly charged with elcctJc
energy. It all emanated from the row of
structures extending out over Guild's
Lake. The doors of the different build
ings were flung wide on their hinges,
bands struck up popular tunes, drums rat
tled, the spielers in tho booths along the
street sprang Into life, and It was all
because of tho decision handed down by
Judge Frazer Saturday morning. The
Trail was open, and the concessionaries
were free to entertain the multitude for
the first time on Sunday since the Lewis
and Clark Exposition was thrown open
Same Crowds There.
But there was a difference. The same
crowds were there, the same shows, the
same barkers, but there was a slight
change. Tho Trail was a little quieter
than ever before, although not to any
great degree. Down near tho end of the
amusement street thero stood a big bluo
building that impressed the visitor as, be
ing decidedly out of place. The piano,
thumped from early morning until lato
at night on week days, and the booths
for tho barkers and ticket sellers were
there In front, but they were covered with
cloth, as true to the promise of the con
cessionaries the Gay Paree was not open
A big sign -was hanging from the awning
on which was Inscribed tho words,
"Closed for Sunday."
At the head of tho Trail another big
building was dark. It was the Princess
Trlxle and the Diving Elks show. There
was no objection to tho .running of this
show, but the proprietor, w. a. Barnes,
Is possessed of some qualms regarding
Sunday opening and says Princess Trixie
shall rest on Sunday. These were tne
onlv two attractions that were closed.
ThS visitors to the Trail also noticed
another change while small, It attracted
no little comment. Across the .front of
one of the shows there Is painted In glar
ing letters tho words, "The Finest
Formed "Woman in the World." A cloth
was tacked over one of tho words, making
it read: "The Finest Woman in the
CWorld The concessionaries were sin
cere in trying to eliminate anything that
could bo termed objoctlonablo. "Tho Gay
Paree is no worse than the shows down
town, but some people think It Is, so I
closed up," said George E. Jabour, the
proprietor, with a smile, thinking of his
other attractions.
Night Attendance Heavy.
The crowds on the Trail during tho
aiternoon were nooui on an average mm
other days, but at night thero was a de
cided Increase. All of tho shows received
heavy patronage, but, nevertheless. It is
a fact that the concessionaries did not
do as well as they had anticipated. How
ever, they made more money than on
week days, and are still tilled with hopes,
They say that the people have to acquire
the habit of going to tho Trail on Sun
day for amusement and enjoyment, and
that then their theories regarding Sunday
opening will be proven to be correct. They
aro confident that Sunday will eventually
be the largest day of the week In point
of attendance.
The grounds 'and exhibit buildings were
comfortably filled with visitors, and there
appeared to be more people than on other
Sundays, but the Trail and tho Catholic
services In the Auditorium in the after
noon drew the largest crowds. DIerke's
Band played to large audiences yesterday
The night concert was heard by fully 2000
people, and the crowd in the afternoon
was also of good size, me Exposition of
ficials are uncommunicative, other than
stating that it will take several weeks
before it can bo definitely determined
whether tho Sunday opening of the Trail
Is a benefit.
EXCURSION BUREAU'S WORK
How It Has Caused Interest to Bo
Taken In Exposition.
That the Bureau of Excursions at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition has done
creditable work since the opening of the
Fair and before that time. Is shown by
a report sent to Director of Exploitation
"Henry E Reed. Colin 11. Mclsaac, In re
viewing the work done by the Bureau
of Excursions, points out that In addl
tlon to the one and one-third rate ob
talped for the Exposition from the East
that a one-fare rate has been obtained
from the railroads from all points In
states west of the Rocky Mountains.
Traveling representatives of the bureau
have distributed many hundred pounds
of literature, have visited 171 cities and
towns in the Western Btates, where all
members of the municipality, chambers
of commerce, and business men were
Mdc to become Interested in the Fair
for personal and patriotic reasons.
Special day programmes were talked up
"by the representatives until the cities vis
ited have taken more than a personal
interest in the welfare of the ErposI
NUMBER
tlon. A number of states have not yet
been thoroughly canvassed, as their spe
cial day exercises will come later In the
season. It Is estimated that more than
1000 persons a day have been brought to
the Exposition through the efforts of the
Bureau of Excursions.

"CARMEN" AT THE BELASCO
First Performance of Dramatic Ver
sion of Bizet's Opera Tonight.
For the first time on the Pacific Coast
the dramatic version of Bizet's, grand
opera. "Carmen." will be presented at
the Bclasco this evening. The tragedy
of Old Spain has been famous for a gen
eration, the world over, but only of re
cent years have Its risibilities as a great
drama been recognized. It was first pro
duced In this country by Olga Nethenole
In New York, where It was universally
lauded by the critics. Portland, will see
It for the first time on the Pacific Coast
this evening. The production will be elab
orately costumed and the moat elaborate
pcenlc embellishment of the Belasco sea
son will be used to make the performance
metropolitan in every respect. Miss Moore
will have an especially fortunate role In
"Carmen" and all the favorites will be
in fine fettle.
BEGIN SIXTH WEEK,
Kolb and Dill Continue Unprece
dented .Run at the MarqHaiR.
Beginning tonight at M o'clock the
Marauaaa Grand Theater, on Morrison
street between Sixth, and Seventh, will
present the famous German comedians.
Kolb and. Dill, and their superb com
pany, in tho merry musical comedy-bur-
leaque. "I, o. U." With tonight's per
formance these fun-producers enter on
their sixth successful week. Never In the
history of Portland theatrical annals has
a comedy-burlesque ever attempted or
halfway accomplished a run of this dura
tion. It can easily be explained; the Mar
quam is the coolest theater in the city
and offers theatergoers two stars Kolb
and Dill together with such clever prin
cipals as Ben Dillon. Persse and Mason.
Cross, vldot and a chorus of thirty beau
tiful chorus girls who can both sing and
dance, in a burlesque that was con
structed to make people laugh. It Is filled
with catchy music and witty sayings, an
ideal summer evening's entertainment.
Seats are now selling for the entire
week.
AT THE VAUDEVILLE THEATERS
Minstrels at the Baker.
The season's feature bill at the Baker
Theater opens this afternoon for the
week. Hanvey &. Boyd, with their fa
mous minstrel troupe, are the bill. A full
sized minstrel show with noted minstrels,
combined with strong vaudeville features
to nil the Intermissions, forms a strong
entertainment, and the Baker expects to
break all attendance records tms wceK.
No advance has been made In the ad
mission price. Ben Duely. Harry Turkey
Boyd and Louis Hanvey are stars In the
minstrel line, and they have an excellent
supporting company. Among the vaude
ville features are De Garro brothers,
comedy athletes, and the Casino four In
a musical specialty. The show ends with
new series of motion pictures. The
addition of several more electric fans
have rendered the theater pleasantly cool
at all times.
Circus at the Star.
With tho matinee today the Star offers
its patrons an entire change of pro
gramme and differing very materially In
the style of attractions for the week Just
ended. Hunt's dog and monkey show Is
the topllncr and Is without an equal as
an abbreviated circus. This engagement
Is a special one designed to amuse old
as well as young and no doubt will ac-
companlsh Its aim. The musical Reeds
who style themselves "The Black Hus
sars." are two musicians of ability who
have had their greatest' success as solo
ists with some of the, best military bands.
Keklaw does a comic stunt on the oicyrie.
and besides being a trickster on the
wheel, is a comedian through and
through. The Franceccos. also In the
comic line, present a burlesque magical
act full of good things. Giles W. Har.
ringlon will be heard In songs and paro
dies. "By the Dear Old Delaware" is the
new song and Is a very pretty one. ac
companied by beautiful Illustrations.
The Staro scope will complete the show
with a number of amusing pictures,
among which Is "The Phenomenal Hen,"
Vaudeville at the Grand.
Starting this afternoon, the cool Grand
Theater will present a bill of vaudeville
that will be In keeping with tho desire
of the public It will be a combination
of mirth, merriment and novelty. For
the headllncr Manager Errickson has se
lected Eddie Leslie, who comes to this
country from tho London music halls,
giving character mimicry In an original
manner. All his stories are his own and
the songs he sings are of his composi
tion. The Yale trio will appear In a
club-swlnglng act, which will be found
one of the most artistic acts of this na
ture yet seen here. Mile. Carrie will per
form on bells, and so adept Is she In
extracting melody from them that she Is
billed as "the belle of bells." The Klngs-
burys will give a musical act saturated
with laughter and bright sayings. Mmc.
Vida is to do a chango act on a slack wire
in the air and Fred Purlnton will sing
"Bright Eyes, Good-Bye," On the Grand
1 scope a film showing stories from
"Arabian eights" will b- given.

Much credit for the large attendance of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition Is due
the General Press Bureau, which Li de
voted entirely to exploitation of the Fair.
The General Press Bureau of the Expo
sition was organized nine months ago.
and has supplied more papers with pub
licity matter than did the Press Bureau
of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
The Exposition officials consider this
remarkable record, and say that It speaks
well for the efficiency of the department.
as It has only one-third the force of
i s,m,,ar office at St, Louis.
Frank L. Merrick, manager of the Press
uureau. was genuinely surprised upon
completing his report to date, as the vast
amount of work that has been accun
pllshed far exceeds his most sanguine ex
pectations. The entire United States and
part of Canada Is considered a field for
Exposition publicity, and the plan and
scope or the Press Bureau Is fixed to tbor
oughly cover this vast territory. The
average dally attendance at the Fair and
increased passenger traffic on all of the
railroads bear testimony to efficiency of
the publicity given the Exposition.
The Press Bureau was organized with
three persons, but has been gradually In
creased until it has a force of eighteen.
This increase was necessary in order to
meet the demands of the newspapers and
other periodicals for matter. Although
every known and practical means of ad
vertlslng an exposition has been em
ployed In the publicity campaign of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, there have
been many improvements In the methods
employed at former fairs, as the Press
Bureau nas nad the benefit of the ex
perience of two large expositions. In
connection with advertislnc the Expos!
tlon, articles, have been supplied papers
from week to week, beating on the re
sources, advantages and possibilities of
the northwest.
In exchange for the publicity received.
the tt-ess Bureau has issued press cour
tesies to an visiung newspaper men.
About 10.000 coupon passes have been
mailed to papers In the United States
and Canada. Only a small percentage of
these passes have been presented at tho
gates. ADout sun passes have been vail
dated since June L The validating rules
are such that only accredited newspaper
representatives can obtain courtesies. The
records show a large percentage of the
visiting press to be from such states as
New York, Iowa, Missouri and Illinois.

The only day set aside for any Chris-
Uan dcnominaUon at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition was yesterday, when
thousands of Catholics of Portland and
other ciUes Joined in celebration In honor
of the oldest established Christian church
In tho world. Th cross was more In
evidence than any other Jewel worn by
women. The great auditorium. In which
exercises were held In the afternoon, was
taxed to Its utmost to accommodate the
throng which began entering the build
ing at 2 P. M. Long before Father
Thomas Ewing Sherman, who was the
epeaker of the day, arose to make his
address, the Auditorium was filled, and
when the opening prayer was offered
there was not a seat to be had. and hun
dreds were standing on the stairs or In
the aisles. Packed beyond Its seating ca
pacity, the building with a background
choir of over 20) as Including the best
singers In the city, the Auditorium pre
sented a magnificent appearance.
The ceremonies were not as Impres
sive as those of the Catholic Church
usually are. from a religious standpoint.
When the great choir finished Its open
ing anthem the audience, following the
example of the bishops in their disting
uishing robes, showed its appreciation
by prolonged applause.
The majority of the audience was com
posed of Catholics, as was seen, when
In answer to Bishop Christie, thousands
of hands were raised to make the sign
of the cross and to repeat the words
of the Catholic service. Among the
auditors, though, were many ministers
of other denominations.
No special exercises of any kind other
than that given at the Auditorium were
observed by Catholics on the Fair grounds.
But after the address by Father Sherman
the audience betook themselves to visit
the exhibits.
Greeted With Applause.
Although no bishop except Archbishop
Christie took any part In the programme,
considerable reverence was shown those
on the platform. Seated with Father
Sherman and Archbishop Christie on the
platform were Bishop Lineban, of Great
Falls. Mont., and Monsignorc Blanchett,
of the diocese of Oregon.
Archbishop Christie, after an opening
prayer, followed by the choir and a solo
by Mrs. Walter Reed. Introduced Father
Sherman. He spoke of Father Sherman
In glowing words for carrying the re
ligion of the cross.
As Father Sherman rose to make his I
address he was greeted with prolonged
applause. He said In part: "On the

"It was at Bismarck that the party
met the Bird Woman, who throughout
th tedious Journey, led the white men
through danger and hardship, and told
that they had not come for gore but
were on a mission of peace. During the
second year the plains and the Rocky
Mountains were crossed and after that
the party saw the Pacific Ocean and
the mouth of the great Columbia
River.
"One year ago the centennial of the

INTHE MAKING
The difference between Good and
between Gold
It is the individual things the things possessing a dis
tinguishing quality that are of most worth. This is dis
tinctly true of Printing. There is good Printing and bad,
and the bad printing that you sometimes pay for may be
the result of poor composition, careless presswork, a poor
quality of paper and ink and inadequate equipment. Some
times it is all of these things which are responsible for a
bad result. When the composition and presswork are care
fully and accurately done by skilled workmen with every
facility at their command, and the materials used are of
the best quality, the result is a product with an individu
ality a work of art. The entire process of production at
our shop is as near perfection as skill, ingenuity and
modern equipment can make it, and the completed
work bespeaks the art that has entered into its making.
(The distinguishing; quality of Individuality la Printing U part
of the value you receive, rrhea you buy It of us, for a no greater
consideration than you pay elsewhere.)

tion of Oregon appear to us 'to have
been foolish. We laugh when wo think
that It was predicted that Oregon

for ages, and that it was like settling

Father Sherman concluded his ad
dress by paying a glowing tribute to
Father Blanchett and others who came
West us the missionaries of the Cath
olic faith, and taught the Indians tne
lessons of the great Father. He spoke
also of Father De Smldt. who had made
many voyages to Europe In the Inter
est of the Indians. He closed with an
eulogy to the memory of Thomns Jef

Lewis and Clark Exposition.

DUST EXPLOSIONS.
Scientific Data as to a Curious Phe- i
nomcna.
American Medicine.
The chemicophysic explanation of
the deadly "dust explosion" remained
in abeyance till the declining years of
the 13th century. It had long. Indeed,
been known that exceptionally dusty
mills and factories were specially Habl
to such mysterious disasters. A recent
explosion at a Liverpool flour mill
has again called attention to the dan
ger, and the necessity for precautions
suitable to the neutralization of what
is still regarded even by many of our
best-Informed contemporaries 'as one
of the most uncanny of Nature's out
rages. For more than a century the
liability of flour mills' to destructive
explosions has been recognized, and
has been vaguely associated with their
dusty atmosphere. It Is now nearly a
hundred years since Sir Humphrey
Davy concentrated his best scientific
attainments and abilities on the en
deavor to pluck out the heart of Its
mystery. In which he utterly failed.
After manifold and laborious experi
ments, he arrived at tho conclusion
that mere dust by Itself could not
prove an efficient cause for an explo
sion: which must, accordingly, bo
sought in ome other direction. His
cosmopolitan authority proved suffi
cient to lull suspicion for a long time.
Accordingly, although such catas
trophes continued to occur from time
to tlmo In all the continents, and with
Increasing frequency as mills and
manufactories multiplied, they were
attributed to wrong causes such as
to Inflammable gas or to unexplained
ones. Thirty years or so ago, the Trades
ton MIUs. in Glasgow, were wrecked
by two explosions, one of whicn fol
lowed the other at an Interval or a rew
seconds. Twelve persons were killed
A fiw years later a candy mill in cw
York blew up. The city fire marsnai
held an Inquiry. It was pointed out
that the place was full of starch Just
but th official contusion was that a
terrific catastrophe such as that in
question :ould never be written down
to tht. discredit of so lnexploslv
substancA as starch. Very soon after
that decision a double explosion oc
curred In what was believed to be the
largest flour mill In the world, the
Wa3hburn Mills, In Minneapolis. It
laid five other adjacent mills also In
ruins, destroyed property of tho value
of a million dollars, and killed 18 per
sons. Another candy mill disaster.
which occurred "soon after, caused re
newed Investigation, as the coinci
dence could not be overlooked. The
story elicited was that one of the
workman had. In stumbling, thrown a
quantity of starch dust onto a stone,
on which tho whole place at once blew
ud like a powder magazine. It was at
last decided that Sir Humphrey Davy
must have been wrong, and that tne
starch nowder was the cause of the
mischief.

Becomes Assistant United States Dis
trict Attorney for North Idaho.
BOISE Idaho. July 30. (Special.) MHea
S. Johnson, of Lewiston. has been ap
pointed Assistant United States District
Attorney for North Idaho. The recom
mendation was made by N. M. Ruick, Dis
trict Attorney. He says the Kester-Ket-tenbach
faction of the party vigorously
opposed the appointment of Johnson, but
he did not consider tho position a po
litical one.
Johnson is one of the leaders of what
is known as the Thompson-Johnson fac
tion. His appointment Is regarded as
having some significance in connection
with the land fraud case. In which lead

Convict Road Builders.
MARSHFIKLD. Or.. July 23. (To the Edi
tor.) In your Issue of the 23d Inst. I notion
n article upon the auestlon of uelnc convict
labor on the nubile highways, which quotes,
largely from the saytnscs of Mr. Craft, presi
dent of the- South Alabama Good Road AMSt
elation, and Judge Eaves, cf Richmond Coun
ty. Georgia, both of whom spealc very strong
ly In favor of so dolnsr.
In thta connection It may be of Interest to
soma people In Oregon to know, a&d wilt
doubtlees be remembered by some, that in tc
campaign of 1S94 In Douclas County, the lejr
aiatlva candidates on the Republican ticket
stood pledged In favor of the paisaze of a
law looklnc to the accomplishment of such
result. And In the session of the Leslsla-
turc In 1SS5. as a member of the lower House-
from that county. I Introduced a bill for that
purpose, but as the proposition was a new-
one, many members looked upon It witn
doubt as to Its practicability, others claimed
that It had no merit at all. some could ses
all kinds of "achemes" in It. while others
Insisted that the state would better contract
Its labor to the stovemakera and xet the 33
cents a day to the head for its convict labor
which was then offered. The pressure alons
the- 33-cent line was so strong- that the foun
dry proposition completely overaaaaowea
everything ! and Anally won out.
If the Ideas which I suggested In my bill
had been adopted at that time, and after
wards amended as experience suggested, wa
could now have a well-arranged system for
using this labor fcr roadbuIlding. with many
m!le3 of good roads in operation as a re
sult.
At the time this matter was under con
sideration, in the campaign of. which I made
mention, and since then. I have given the
question considerable study, and became sat
isfied and still believe that the proposition
la a wise one and that a law can be so framed
to overcome all serious objections, that
the "scheme" will be found to be not only
practicable, but profitable to the state.
I think that some steps should be now-
taken which will look to the Introduction In,,
tho next session of the Legislature of a bill '
which will make provision for using at least
a large portion of the convict labor on our
public roads. If wo will Just take it for
granted as a starter, that convict labor should
be used for public road-bulldlng In Oregon.
It will soon lead to such a discussion of the
provisions of the proposed law providing for
It as will be very profitable to the thinking
Deonle of the etate and will bring out tho
best thought on the subject In the state, and
will make th framing of a law on the sub
ject to be presented to the next session of
the Legislature a comparatively easy matter.
There are several Interesting phases to this
proposition beside the actual good that would
be received by the people In economical road
Improvement, upon which I may at some fu
ture time present some thoughts through your
valuable paper. Respectfully.

Desert of Nile on Dinner Table.
Cairo Cable to New York American.
"William Waldorf Astor continues to
entertain lavishly. Ho gave a largo
dinner-party, which has been the one
subject of conversation among the
fashionable set ever since. The table
was square, seating seven on a side.
In the center was a miniature desert.
In the middle of which rose miniature
pyramids and sphynxes. An oasis with
palms, toy camels and dolls dressed as
Arabs also figured on the board. Every
thing was carried out to the uttermost
perfection of detail, even to the little
stream representing the Nile.
After the Ices had been served each
guest was presented with a toy pick
and shovel In gold and told to dig for
the treasure In the sand before them.
Much amusement resulted from the
amateur excavations, and each guest,
of course, turned up something in the
way of a souvenir, which proved to be
bits of authentic old Egyptian Jewelry
or other relics.
