Final arrangements for the construc 1 tlon of a Lewis and Clark Memorial build ing, for Che preservation of the Forestry building at the . Exposition and for the disposition of the exhibit buildings erected by the state are to be made in the Im mediate future. A general report was issued yesterday by State Commission Secretary Bdmond C. Glltner, in which a number of recommendations on these im portant matters are made. It is under stood the plans outlined in the report arc to be followed. The report also contains a full statement of the State Commission expenditures and financial affairs In handling the ?500,C00 Exposition appropria tion made by the state. The first recommendation Is for the ap pointment of a committee to confer with President Goode. of the Exposition Cor poration, regarding the setting aside by the corporation of $50,000 for the Memorial building. It is known that the corpora tion has excellent chances of ending the Fair with a goodly surplus on hand and the Lewis and Clark law provided for the Betting apart of $50,000 of any surplus to be Joined with the appropriation of $50,000 for the Memorial buildlnsr. Secretary Giltner's Report. In this connection Mr. Glltner, in his report, has this to say: "I understand there is a doubt as to the right of the officers of the corporation, even though they desire, it, to use any part of the money remaining after the ox penses of the Exposition were paid, with out the consent of each and every stock holder. It has been stated thai the cor poration having accepted from the state the benefits provided by the act creating the commission, that if they have the funds they will be obliged to comply with all the provisions of said act and any stockholder would be estopped from mak ing objection. I therefore suggest that the committee request the president of the corporation to direct their counsel to re port to him. that if sufficient for the erec tion of a Memorial building remain after paying all the debts of the corporation, whether the directors could appropriate the money for such purpose, and further, if the counsel reports In the affirmative, that the committee request the directors of the corporation whether the directors could appropriate the' money for such purposes, and further, if the counsel re ports in the affirmative, that the com mittee request the directors of the cor poration to pass upon the subject In order that the necessary steps can be taken towards Inducing the city to donate a site for such building and provide main tenance as provided by the act. The city authorities should be approached right away, but it would be useless to see them until an expression can be had from the corporation." Suggestion is next made that the com mlsslon have a committee wait upon Mayor Lone and lay before him the act passed by the last Legislature regarding the disposal of the Forestry building. This act provided that the Forestry build ing should be donated to the city or to some public organization which woald maintain It as a public building. Maydr Lane will be asked to take the" flatter df accepting the building before the City Council attd ill the event that body does not act, favorably ther will be plenty of time td makt? nrrangcmeriis elsewhere. The other exhibit buildings and palaces are to be destroyed after the Fair. Secre tary Glltner buggEsts thai they be sold "for a lump suni lo Ihe highest bidder arid that their disposal within a limited Uine bfe left entirely W the- purchaser.

X. F. Matthieu. who along survives Ihfe 102 who assembled at Charhnoeg on May 2. 1S43. to vote for or against the organi zation of government, or rather, td say whether the Northwest shduld belong to the United States or Great Britain, has been a frequent visitor to his daughter. Who lives "in East Portland, arid at the Fair. There has been a quiet movement to bestow honors oh this venerable pio neer for the "part he -took In making the OrcgOh territory a part of the United States. A demonstration, or celebration, of that event, when 52 Voted (Mr. Mat thleu with these) for ana 50 voted against the organization of a government. In his Honor is proposed at the Fair, if It can be brought about, at the Oregon building, somewhat similar to what wait given Joaquin Miller. Joseph Buchtel, a pio neer, yesterday sent a letter to President Goode calling his attention to the mat ter, and asking that some suitable action be taken in honor of Mr. Matthieu, and also celebrating the event of May 2, 1S43. The following are part of the reasons set forth in the letter asking the Fair man agement to take action: "X. F. Matthieu Ib the sole survivor of May 2, 1S, when at Champocg the Vote was taken that made the Oregon country a part of the United States, and made It possible to reap the fruits of the great Lewis and Clark expedition. It Is true Joe Meek was the Intrepid leader of the immortal 52 who voted to make It part of the United States, but X. F. Matthieu was no less a hero, as he had to go back on his own country and even his religion to vote with Meek on that occasion.. To my mind that event Is only second In Im portance to the great expedition of Lewis and. Clark, in whose honor this splendid Fair Is now being held. Honors have been given Joaquin Miller, and fitly, for the fame he has reflected on this state by his matchless genius: now let us get together and honor one of the men who helped lay the mud sills of the galaxy of states In the Northwest I am sure that this sug gestion, respectfully submitted, will be re ceived In high favor by all the pioneers of this country. Mr. Matthieu Is ripe In years, but Is nearlng the sunset of his life, and as thesole living survivor of this most important event, let us. honor him as Its representative. I simply o'ffcr this as a suggestion." HASH BUST MONTH Municipal Judge Bameron is . kept at Work. EXTRA COURT SESSIONS For Championship Games. The Lewis and Clark Ail-Around In dividual National Championship games 'will be held at the Exposition stadium op Wednesday and Thursday. These games will be participated In by a great many prominent athletes of the North west, who will arrive to obtain the much coveted title of all-around Individual champion. Will Fly Tuesday. Captain T. S. Baldwin, the celebrated aeronaut, will make a flight with his mag nificent airship. "The AngelUs," from the aeronautic concourse, on Tuesday after noon at 2 o'clock, weather permitting. Visitors can meet Captain Baldwin, ex amine the ship and have Its mechanism explained to them prior to the flight. Nebraska Exhibit. Free moving picture exhibitions. Ne braska Pavilion. Agricultural Palace. Another Clerk is Teedcd anil -There . Is faik of Having an Addr lioftai judge Appointed is Well. July was a .notable and very busy month i'n the Municipal Court. At the dose of business last ntght'Clerk Hen nessey announced that the fines an2 forfeitures aggregated 32022.40. Although the salary of Municipal JuHge Is $50 & month less than that oi the Chief of Police, that did not seem to cut any figure with operation, for Judge Cameron began holding ses slbns at 9 A. M., Instead of 10 A. if., and afternoon sessions have becomo 63rhmon: Business was so rushing1 one day Inat a night session of wo hours vas held. Conditions have become such that another clerk Is needed to assist the present one, ani Mayor Lane has said that Judge" Cameron can have all the heip necessary for the carrying, on of busIrie"KSi Nb onfe has been nameM as yet fdr assistant clerk, but It is prob able that an appointment will be made In the near future. No repairs or Improvements of any kind have been made to the Municipal Courtroom for many years, but Judge Cameron has called the matter to the attention of the Police Commissioners and Cn,lef Grltzmacher. As a result, the Judge was given practically a free hand to have 'the room fixed up and new furniture Installed. This will be done as -soon as .arrangements can be made, after which Portland will have no need to be ashamed of her Munici pal Courtroom. A new arrangement has been en tered Into between .Deputy District At torney Haney and Doputy City Attor ney Fitzgerald, ."whereby the former prosecutes nearjy all of the cases, both state and city, while Mr. Fitzgerald writes complaints and gathers evi dence from the various officers and complaining witnesses. In tills manner far more work is accomplished. Since the appointment of Chief of Police Grltzmacher, nearly every per son placed under arrest has been held and brought before Judge Cameron. This has resulted In a great deal more work for the court than formerly, for It necessitates the hearing of hundreds of cases of a nature previously han dled by the police and never brought before the court. Owing to the large amount of busi ness, the subject of a new court Is be ing discussed by many. It Is argued that the volume Is too great for ono Judge to handle, and that It would be only Just to divide the work. on Fort Sacajawea and the land batteries on the lake. Each battleship will be armed with mortars and the fort ard land batteries will be armed with mortars and gatllng guns.. The troops defending them will be armed with rifles. The battle will be a realistic spectacular event. The lights will be extinguished on that-part of the grounds and along the bridge, in or der that the exploding bombs and rockets and flashes of fire from the guns may show to beat advantage during the battle. Thursday will be worklngmen's day. On that day everybody will be admitted to the. Exposition at .half price, the Exposi tion management having reduced the ad mission price as a compliment to the worklngmen on their day. "Wednesday afternoon the special athletic exercises will open, and many events of National Importance will occur. Friday will be Methodist Episcopal day, wheri all members of the Methodist Epis copal fchurch "will be admitted to the Ex position at half price when provided with a .card from the church Sunday school. Many .great athletic events" will be on the programme for Friday and Saturday, and these days will be full of Interest to all visitors. During the week several airship flights will be made and other features of special Interest will bo arranged, such as fire works, musical programmes and other events. Captain Speedy, the world-famous high diver. 'began his two weeks engagement yesterday, and will make his wonderful high dive of 110 feet from a platform on the Trail every day this week at 3 o'clock In the afternoon and at 10:20 in the even ing. His platform will be brilliantly Illu minated with electric lights, so that all visitors' may witness his evolutions as he descends from the 110-foot platform to the pool of water Into which he makes his daredevil dlVe. FARMER BOYS THE GUESTS COME AS RESULT OF VOTING CONTEST ON PAPER. Carllnvllle (HI.) Democrat Sends J. II. Gore and G. A. Gwllllm . to the Exposition. Numerous parties have attended the Exposition this Summer as the result of voting contests through newspapers, but the one which James E. McClurc. editor of-the Carllnvllle Democrat, Ma coupin County. J 11.. brought to Portland last week was unique In that It was composed of the most popular farm boys In his county. Instead of school teachers or pretty girls. Portland friends Interested Mr. McClure In the Lewis and Clark Exposition early In the year, and In January he Inaugu rated a voting contest for the most farmers Instead of Indifferent clerks or merchants. Macoupin Is one of the richest coun ties In the state of Illinois and her land brings higher prices than any other section of the Mississippi Valley. Mag nificent crops Of corn and wheat are raised there each season and the boys who are in this party come of the good old pioneer families who have won a fair name for their country and state. Mr. McClure. the editor of the Demo crat, Is a lawyer and politician of prominence, and a commissioner of the Illinois Penitentiary. He is paying all expenses of the party and Is giving the boys the time of their life. Denver. Colorado Springs and Salt Lake were visited en route, and on the return trip stops will be made at Tacoma, Seattle, St. Paul and Chicago. JUL! is hem POLICE MOUTH Free. Operatic Concerts.

With the Democratic lid supposedly on. the police of Portlandt have not for years been so busy as during July. At midnight 11C0 arrests had been made, embracing practically all the offenses known. Not even with the town "open." with gambling In full blast and things running free and easy, so to speak, has there been a month In which the police have made so many arrests. Beginning July 1, at which time the Lane administration went In, the police have been exceptionally active. This is especially true with reference to the af fairs of the department since July S, when Mayor Lane named Captain Grltz macher to succeed Charles H. Hunt as temporary head of the force. The men all like the new Chief, It Is explained, and have worked hard to earn their salaries. Chief Grltzmacher and his men have had to deal with the enforcement of the anti-box ordinance, with an Influx of negroes and with other Important meas ures, and it has taxed the department to the utmost to maintain good order and to keep down crime. With the Lewis and Clark Exposition on In full blast, with thousands of strangers within the gates of the city, the police regard their work as remarkable, for no large robberies have taken place. 1 To the detective staff credit Is due for three good captures. Ace Graham, col ored, wanted In Kansas City for murder, was caught by Detectives Hartman and Vaughn; Jack Scott, a highway robber. ex-convlct from San Quentln, and all around bad man. 'was captured by De tectives Kerrigan and Snow. , whiles a gang of five alleged counterfeiters, with their paraphernalia, were taken by De tectives Carpenter and Reslng. There were two murders during the month. There were three suicides and seven attempts to commit suicide. There wore soveral violent deaths, giving Coro ner Flnley and his deputies much work. As usual, the "drunks" lead the -number of arrests. There were 270 charged wlthjdrunkenness.

WILL SEND UP THE AIRSHIP If the Wind Is Favorable Anj-elus Will Fly Today. If thd wind travels at a rate leas than ten miles an hour today. CajKaln T.'S. Baldwin's atrshlp "Ansehts will fly at 2 P. M. today. After attaining a height of 1000 feet, the aeronaut In tends to guide his frail vessel In a. northerly direction as far as Va Gov ernment buildings, and after elrcMc these structures, make short daskes to all points of the compass. At no t!ne will the craft travel beyond th UjrIvs of the Exposition, so that visitors will have a splendid opportunity to witness the alrabjp in Its. flight. Every possible effort has been xaada to prepare the ship far the flight loony Upon returning to the ground a few days ago, the ship was slightly dam aged, but Is now in perfect condition to make a tent as to Its dlrierlbWiy. For the past 24 hours hydrogen gs has been pumped Into the bag stupparttner the ship proper, and when filled It will contain 16,009 cubic feet of gas. Ths gas is made in a tank just outside f the balloon-shed. The component part are sulphuric acid, calcium ehlorlde an t iron filings, and these, after being ee vertcd Into gas, are purlned by jm1nc through llmo and caustic soda. The gas Is then transmitted to the bag through a largo rubber tube. Ipon the even balance of the keel depends the entire success of the flight. This part of the ship Is adjusted ami balanced to the weight of a hlr. When the aeronaut desires to ascend h moves away from the motor, and when he wishes to descend he draws nearer to it. Upon a slender steel bar at ona side of the keel, tho Yenturaon trav eler stands, and with several rta guides his ship, which is governed bv a rudder at one end. In the center of tho keel Is a motor, which provide tb power for the propeller. The length of the keel Is 65 feet and the entire weight of the ship with the saa-bas: and the aeronaut Is SM pounds. M.
