Wurr rot run Bookict ox FUTiotatTmATiiejcT Or OISIA3C CROWD AT TENT-PITCHING Host All the Boys of Portland As ; semble at the Vnughn-Street Grounds to Witness Com ing of the Show. "Let's take a look back Into BoyvHle.M said I to myself, and then wont out to the circus grounds yesterday afternoon to crawl under the canvas. I did Jt too easy, and was not molested. To reach the Vaughn-street lots, one must travel by car, and on the way out my rumina tion was of that dear recent long ago when .we "kids" lay awake all night to be flrst at the station In the morning when the show came in. Two decados Is not so far a harking back, and I am no lean and, slippered pantaloon, but the memories of 20 years lap well over the threshold of youth, and they send no more days like those from Elysium when we "kids" hailed the coming of the show. At the gats of Boyville they give no re turn cheoks. The "No thoroughfare" sign Is up for us. Another generation of youngsters is running things. The age limit bars "us from the reception commit tee that greets the circus train. Boys Gather to Greet Circus. It is our part now to stand outside and peer through, upon the others. Manners and customs change but little in that capital, however, and I wonder how many boys wore at the tracks yesterday for the Barnum & Bailey entry. There must have been a large outpouring, for the circumstance warranted an unusual dem onstration. Assuredly there were plenty of representatives at the grounds in the afternoon to do the honors. The "big top" was up when I got there, so it is impossible to say that the rush and hurrah of the "raising" is Just the same. Presumably it is, for the boys seemed to approve the whole procedure. Violations of circus tradition are frowned upon by the boys. Things that were good enough for their daddies in Van Amburg's day are good enough for them. They were happy, so I know the canvas bosses must shout in the same old -way, that the roustabouts still drive the pegs, ten hammerers to the peg, that the poles are still painted blue and that the can vas Is still grimy with the dust of many fields. Some of the Innovations. There are these Innovations, however, the pegs are of iron, where aforetime they wore of wood, and the rings are boxed round about with boards, whore once they were marked by a furrow of earth. These being the merest technical ities, need not be complained of. In all the main respocts the circus is the same as when, I fed Jumbo peanuts, only big ger, vastly bigger. Barnum & Bailey's is still the "great est show on earth." Time was when this was an ldln boast. It is not so now. It Is the biggest thing that travels and un deniably the best in -the circus line. Its expansion has reached the point whore 1 some railroads refuse to haul It, and Mr. Bailey had best quit adding to it if he wants to keep on making the rounds. It must cost a pretty penny to pay the bills, for there are more than a thou sand people, great and small, on the pay roll, and the salaries run from 530 a month to $3000 a week. The tents covor 12 acres, and it requires four and somo tlmos Ave trains to carry the "monster aggregation." I don't like figures, but must repeat pome things Ben PIsholl told me, for he is a truthful man and is hoad of the chow's press bureau. Iiikc Army Encampment. It is like the encampmont of an army. Enough horsos to mount a cav alry regiment 6S0, to be exact munch their hay in the stable-tents. To be exact, 10C5 men and women, old and young, big and little, have a part in It. They all board at the circus moss tent, from Mr. and Mrs. Bailey down, and all are served the same fare. There are ten cooks and 40 waiters, and no one goes hungry. They had blackberries and cantaloupes yesterday, among the many other good things, and the menu reads like one of the Portland's. There is a circus postman to handle the mall, and he told me he distributed 1027 let ters yosterday. A secret service is maintained under the direction of a Pinkerton man. There Is a hospital tont in charge of an experienced physician, and a veterinary to look after the ani mals. The performers and executive staff sleep in 12 standard Pullmans and the laborers have comfortable bunk cars. There are 300 performers, 200 men and 100 women. Many of them are foreigners and almost every na tionality is represented. Endless Array of Facts. There is an endless array of inter esting facts which might be set down in figures, but the circus is for Joy, and whoever gets Joy from figures must be sinister. I give you my word, it really is the biggest thing you ever saw. So big that one can't hope to see it all in one visit. I haven't seen so many horses together since the Spanish "War, and never so many good ones. That herd Is a horse show for the brush of a Ttosa Bonheur. The menagerie is a liberal education in natural history, and has the New York Zoo beaten to tatters. If the performance is as good as the outward manifestations it xvill have to go some. They say It does, and I'll warrant it's a money's worth. Barnum & Bailey's has never come to the Coast before. In the past Denver has been the extreme "Western limit of its wanderings, but the present tour has been so good that it will return again. The circus staff all like the Northwest so "well that they talk Hko real-estate brokers. Some Go to Church. Most of them and the performers were at the Pair yesterday, and some even went to church. That seems funny, doesn't it? Circus people at church but you know they're pretty much like other lolk. "and some of us other folk go to church. Til mane the guess that the churches will be well represented at the show today. Of course, "to take the chil dren." I fear that late returns from the Sun day schools will show a sad falling off for yesterday, for as I began with Boy ville, I will return to it. The population of that place was out in force to carry water, ask pertinent and impertinent questions and get in the way generally. It was their vested right. Inherited with the original charter. When the circus comes to town other business in Boyville is suspended, and a gala day is pro claimed. For two days this year "will the festival continue. Happy boys! To "--Jlve Jn the capital of "Wonderland. xoAxyo pzmv swflsa&a lj ys blessed realm, which holds within it the circus. Say, old boys and old girls, let's wander back along the road today as near to Boyville as we can back to its very limits; to the circus, for thorc It's hap py confinos He. A. A. G. PRESENT - DAY PROBLEMS ft I Br. Josiah Strong on the New Inter pretation of Christianity. Dr Josiah Strong, of New York City, preached at the White Temple yesterday at both the morning and evening service. "A New Interpretation of Christianity and Present Day Problems," was the subject of the evening discourse, and tlie speaker chose his text from revelations, "Behold I make All things new." In a brief review Dr. Strong pictured the progress which has been made through all the ages in every phase of activity, and showed how this ad vancement had been working out of God's great purpose, "the croation f a now heaven atnd & new earth." "This progress has been greater." said the spoarkor, "during: the past century than during all the ages that precodod IL The one change has been tne substitution of mechanical for muscular force. This has solved one of the groat problems of man the croation of adequate supplies for mankind. But it has brought other problems regarding the relation of cap it! asd labor and the government of our groat rt tie. Life was stnipHe; now It is complex; relations were few; now they are many; problems wore of the individual; now they are of ioclty. "All those problems pertain to the relation of man to man, and for them there is one solution, self-sacrifice. This is the keynote of religion. Christ came to preach the Kingdom of God. By this he did not moan tne enure visible nor the church invisible, nor heaven above, but the King dom of God on earth among men. This is the fact that we have missed in the past; it is the new interpreta tion; and when we realize God's great end is right relations between man and man. it is obvious that tho terms self- sacrifice and service become all-Important. In the light of this the Bible mut he re-road, theology re-studied and Christianity reorganized. "We all believe in service and in self sacrifice on the part of othors. How are we to get free-willed men to sac rifice themselves? This Is the question of today. Christianity alone furnishes the answer. If any man will come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me; yo. follow tn rtnir-ntha and there be crucified with Him. This is the test of the Christian. It fits new conditions and will be the salvation of society. "God requires absoluto consecration of substance, and time and body and soul, for service to man; that is Chris tianity in its fullness; not simply "right relations to God. but right relations to man. Does such a life of self-abnegation soem cold and moanlngless to you? Try it. You will And it like the great cathedral windows of Europe, dark and unattractive without, but firiorifiod with the ijght of God within." The Columbia Bar. Much has been said during the past week or two about the Columbia bar. and the absoluto need to Oregon, Eastern "Washington and Idaho of the depth of water on the bar bolng increased to 30 feet The Trans-Mississippi Congress is lend ing its important influence, and organized effort is in sight to procure from the United States Government the expendi ture of 900,OM, to carry the bar improve ment to this desired pojpt. Every possi ble assistance shovrioT'be given by evory one having a particle of influence in Con gress or on any of its members. Mean while Just a few words of explanation and encouragement may be pormlttod- The great problem was to so concentrate the out-scouring power of the Columbia River as to overcome the inward wash of sand and gravel from the Inflow of oeoan tides. Tho work was enormously difficult, from the width of the month of the estuary of the Columbia, and' the shifting, unstable character of the bar. But the United States Engineers have persevered, grad ually tho jetty has grown seaward, the scour on the bar has Increased, and the day is In sight when, 1 not hindered by lack of funds, the Jetty will roach the southern extremity of tho bar. The last map Issued by the englners shows 24 feet as least depth, and that only on a small area. The general depth of water on the bar ranges from 26 to 2S feet at low water. Doubtless, there is a risk that the bar will move seaward as the Jetty growjj. Exporience alone can test this completely, but experience gained in other river en trances gives encouragemont to believe in the permanence of improvement once attained. DAYLIGHT DOWN COLUMBIA On "T.

CHIEF OF THE NEZ-PERCES Accompanied by His Band and Chief James and His Band Both Bands Are in Charge, of a Carlisle Graduate. Chief Williams, one of the most noted living Indian warriors, if not the most noted, passed up the Willamette River yesterday with his band and his friend Chief Jama, not in their canoes, as one might expect, but in an auto boat. It was indeed a strange and yet very pic turesque sight fo see the 12 sturdy mom bera of tfce tribes, clad in all the colors and ot-ads that only the Indians know how to oomWne, step into the fastest passenger auto boat on the river, the De fender, and speed up the Willamette at railroad speed. As the, boat passed the different points of interest at a 12-mlle gait, their pleasure could easily be seen by the glint of their eyes. But when the engineer turned on full power and the launch raced ahead, their expressions of approval and satisfaction were changed to yells and grunts. When they stepped ashore at the end of the run. tholr facos plainly showed that they wished the ride had boon longer. Chief Williams was elected on July 4 last year to succeed the late Chief Joseph as chief of the Nez Perce tribe of In dians. Ho is a noted warrior and fought In nearly all the late Indian wars. While engaged in battle against Genoral O. O. Howard, ho not only had three horses shot from under blm, but lost his right eye. by receiving a bullet In that organ. After the Nez Perce War was ended. Chief Williams was one of 300 warriors to be transported .from their old camping ground at Lappiall, Idaho, to the Colvlllo Indian reservation, northwest of Spokane. There arc still 700 left in Idaho. Chief James is chief of the San Poll tribe, and, together with a large band of his tribe, will spend some time at the Fair with Chief Williams and his band. D. U. Moore is in charge of the bands while at the Exposition. He is a full blooded Indian, a graduate of the Carlisle Indian School in 1902, and the Ypsllanti Normal School, at Ypsllanti, Mich. R. G. Morey, President and general man ager of the R. G. Morey Construction Company, entertained them with the ex cursion. 5 IS THE BIG EAGLE OFFICERS ARE CHOSEX AT BEX VER AFTER LONG SESSIOX., Milwaukee Selected as Next 3rcctlng Place by a Bare Majority Over San Francisco.

Ferguson, of Pendleton, is at the Perkins for a few days' rest from of ficial duties. Mr- Ferguson Is a member ' . ..-rv-.i www of the Pendleton City Council, and to gether with the rest of that body is having a strenuous time of It In trying to please both sides in the contest for and against an open town now raging in the Umatilla County metropolis. The Council Is conservative In tendency, but Is confronted by the efforts of a set of reformers who compel the enforcement of the Sunday closing i&ks anil the Rta lutes against gambling. A phort time ago the reform element forced the District Attorney to close the saloons on Sunday, and the Council Im mediately passed an ordinance closing every place of business in the city with the exception of the bakeries. This ac tion called forth a storm of protest on the part of the business men, which be came so groat that the ordinance was re pealed at the next meeting after Us pass age. The fight against gambling and all kinds of violations of the laws still continues, however, and to escape the turmoil for a time, Mr. Ferguson Is visiting the Ex position and waiting for cooler weather before returning to his home In the wheat belt. COACHES FOR WEST. J. Vk. Knlbbs and F. B. GrlTfln "Will Instruct Blue nnd Gold Players. UNIVERSITY Of"cALIFORNIA. Berke ley, Aug. 20. (Special.) As a rosult of a tripx taken to the East last Spring by Football Captain James A. Force, of tne University of California. J. W. Knlbbs and Dr. F. B. Griffin, two well-known Dartmouth playors, will coach the Borkoley men this Fall. The new coaches have arrived from the East, and are ready to give the blue and goll playors the. first touches, of Eastern football that have been dealt out on the campus for half a dozen yeara. For several seasons past California has boen content to lot the team be coached by graduatos. While the sys tem had Its good points, it was evi dent thar no new ideas were being Introduced, and the team was barely able to hold its own with Stanford. Last Fall a change was demanded by popular opinion, and now for the first time since the days of Garry Cochran and Ad Kelly, the great Princeton players who coached California In the '90s. Eastern football men will have tho guidance of the blue and the gold. "1 shall use the Dartmouth style of play from start to finish," Knlbbs has announced. "The season is long' enough for us to drill the men in the simplest rudiments of the game. ' We feel con fident' at Dartmouth that our style is the best, and I see no reason why It should not be proved such out here. As it is unknown In the West, Dr. Griffin and I must prove Its worth by actual results." Knlbbs will pay especial attention to the backs and ends, while Griffin will instruct the linemen. It Is the Intention of the conches to have the fresnmen practice with the upper-class men for the first week only, after which the instruction will be separate, so the '09 men will be more advanced when the freshmen game comes off on Ootobcr 14. Federal Grand Jury's Work. United States District Attorney Heney reached the city last night from San Francisco and will prepare for tha con vention of the Federal grand jury, which will be called tomorrow mprnlng. It is stated by Mr. Heney that the Jury will be in session In all probability for two weeks, or until the resumption of tho sittings of the Federal Court and the consequent land-fraud trials. Other than this, however, Mr. Heney has nothing to say concerning what will be done by the grand Jury., It is expected, however, that some Important Investigations will be made into the various big land steals that have been perpetrated in the state during the past few years. A little forethought may save you no end of trouble. Anyone who makes it a rule to keep Chamberlain's Colic. Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy at hand knows this to boa fact.

IS MAKING INVESTIGATION Inexpensive Method of Irrigation for Semi-Arid Lands Discussed by Engineer of Department of Agriculture. . Arthur P. .Stover, of Berkeley, Cal.. an irrigation engineer In the service of the Department of Agriculture, is at the Imperial Hotel, and will attend the meet ings of the National Irrigation Congress, which will convene in the city today. Mr. Stover Is working under Elwood Mead, of Washington. D. C. the chief of the Dc partmcnt,of Irrigation and Drainage, who will also reach the city today to attend the congress. Mr. Stover Is the first engineer to be sent Into the state by the department to make exhaustive Investigations in the seml-arld districts as to the soli, the formation of The country, the water and its uses. In his investigations, the engi neer has'been examining the Butter Creek country, in Umatiha County, for the pur pose of determining what land can be benefited by Winter or flood-water Irri gation. He also has men at work under him In the vicinity of Bend and in the Klamath Lake country making similar Investigations, and expects to have com pleted his work in a month at the fur thest. Reports Are Favorable. From such reports as have been already made to him, the engineer is able to give a hopeful account of what may be, done in different parts of the state with out extensive and costly reservoirs, flumes and ditches. "My work is apart from that of the Reclamation Service," said Mr. Stover, yesterday afternoon, at the Imperial. "I make examinations of the soils and of their adaptability for flood Irrigation, and study the substrata to ascertain whether or not there Is foundation underneath to hold the Winter water and make the plan feasible. Seepage In ditches, the amount of water used at present, and whether such amount is too much or too little, all these things are gathered by my Investi gations and given, either by printed re port or by personal conversation to the public." Work Done by Stover. The work now being done by Mr. Stover has. not progressed far enough, for him to be able to tell definitely of what he has found In his Investigations, but he is encouraged in the belief that much new land which Is now Idle may be brought Into cultivation by means of Winter Irrigation. After the adjournment of the Irrigation Congress. Mr. Stover will leave for Bend and for Klamath County, where he will finish the task assigned to him. It is expected that he will be able to make his report in about a month. Historical Congress Plans. The Historical Congress, which will hold Its first session at the First Presby terian Church tonight and will begin its regular meetings at the American Inn to morrow morning at 10 o'clock, will hold sessions from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 4 to morrow and Wednesday. Inasmuch as the Exposition is in com memoration of an Important historical event, it is but natural that a congress for the consideration of historical matters' should have an important place on the programme, and this congress promises to be followed with no little Interest by the public as well as by those especially Interested In historical research. The programme for tonight follows: William D. Fenton. presiderit of the Oregon Historical Society, presiding, will deliver the address of welcome on behalf of President Goode. Paper.

He had read the thermometer upside down and thought It was K degrees below zero, and expired instantly. That's strange, but no more so than an incident occurring in Lakevlew about the same time.

TaKe Care Of Your Heart. It is the engine that forces the blood to every part of the body; this blood conveys the nourishment that makes flesh, bone and muscle; it also car ries off the worn-out particles. If the heart flutters or palpi tates, it is weak, and is work ing imperfectly, so that the body does not get this nourish ment ; it also fails to throw off the impurities, and they re main to poison the system. If it is irregular, skips beats, or is painful, the heart is prob ably "leaky" and the circulation poor. These conditions are dangerous. You can make your heart Well, and keep it so, with Dr. Miles' Heart Cure, which is a heart medicine and tonic that strengthens the heart nerves and muscles. "I have been a sufferer for years from nervousness and weak heart, and I have tried all the doctors in the community. They all told me that I had heart trouble, but they failed tr help me. My druggist prevailed upon me to try Dr. MilC3 Heart Cure, and Restorative Nervine, saying that If the first bottle did not benefit me he would return the money.
