the Eagles, back seven years ago. Then
there were but a few residents o Seattle
In the order, while today the membership
lists show 200.000 persons, with 1000 lodges
extending from Alaska to Florida.
Sketch of the Order.
The first meeting was held In the
Knights of Pythias hall In Seattle. Up
to this time the organization had been
pne of camaraderie and pure fun, but from
this time on It was destined to figure as
a growing fraternal order, with ever-in
creasing ranks. In April, two months
after the first regular meeting, a grand
acrlc constitution was drawn up and the
order was Incorporated under the laws
of the State of Washington.
Spokane organized the first branch nest.
and gradually the order spread its way
over the country, until it has become
power as a fraternal order. The officers
of the. first aerie, several of whom are
expected for today's celebration at the
Exposition, were: Grand worthy presl
dentJohn Cort: grand worthy vlce-presl
dent John W. Consldine: grand worthy
past -president, H. J. Leavitt; grand
-worthy conductor, T. Jr Consldine; grand
worthy secretary. Arthur G. Williams;
grand worthy chaplain. MeMn C Win
stock; grand worthy trustees, H. B. Mer
kel and L. C. Brown.
SINGING SOCIETIES HERE.
Come to Attend the Great Norwegian
Saengerfest.
More than 1000 members of the Norwe
gian singing societies In the State of
Washington arrived on special trains last
evening to attend the saengerfest in the
Auditorium, at the Exposition grounds,
tomorrow afternoon. The large number
that came from Washington was an
agreeable surprise to members of the
Portland organization, who had not ex
pected more than 500 visitors from that
state. Train No. 3. which arrived at 6:50,
In three sections, carried 700, which In
cluded the Seattle. Everett and part of
the Ballard delegations. The second train
brought 300. from Tacoma. Parkland and
the smaller towns of the state. O. Hagoes
and G. M- Storud. constituting a commit
fee from the local society, went to Goble
to meet the visitors. Others were waiting
to give them a cordial reception when the
trains pulled Into the Union Depot.
Each society carried a banner ana
American and Norwegian flags. Forming
in .line, they marched to the center of
J. A. Watson.

hotels.
Madame Ragna Dinne. the Norwegian
prima donna, arrived yesterday morning
from Chicago to sing the- solo arts in
the big musical festival. The California
delegations will come this morning, and

Boys' Brigade Drills.
Dally at 2 P. Ms. exhibition drills are

Brigade, of the First Congregational
Church, of Astoria. The boys are enjoy
ing camp life on Government peninsula.
There are 42 In the brigade, which ls in
charge of Rev. Luther D. Malone, the
pastor of the church. Strict military dis
cipline ls maintained In camp, but the
boys find plenty of time for recreation
and sightseeing. They are armed with
cadet rifles and drill like regulars.
Ml 11 GREAT LEVELEH
ALL MEET OX THE SA3IE 'PLANE
WHEN' SEEKING AMUSEMENT.
Attendance at the Fair Is Increasing
and the Amusement Thorough
fare Grows Busier.
The Trail, perhaps, of all other places
where the Exposition crowds gather, is
the common meeting ground. Rank and
station don't cut much figure on the
Trail. The fellow who. lends the money
and the chump who borrows It push
shoulders and find mutual interest in the
things about them. The regular exhibit
buildings are more or less dignified; even
the boulevards Impose something of re
straint upon the multitude, and the man
who lives by brain-sweat does not feel
quite brother to the man whose hand
sweat fetches his dally bread. But on the
Joyous Trail one person ls as good as an
other. If not better, and folks loosen up.
Even a numskull can see the humor of
trying to be cold and reserved In that hu
man hodge-podge.
Just for relaxation people go there and
they don't care much about the outward
manifestations of caste. You will find the
globetrotter who has seen all fairs, the
man from tho big woods who has seen
none before, the millionaire in costly
raiment and the Valley farmer. In H-S9
marked down from J5, all hobnobbing
gracefully.
The Trail Is a great leveler. Along that
brief highway .the sole business of life
seems to be having fun. Of course It
Isn't. There Is a well-grounded suspicion
that some who live there permanently
have ulterior motives. It Is only the tran
sients who are there for their health.
However that is Irrelevant. The Trail ls
well designed as a place of entertainment
and from Its outlet at the end of the
Bridge of Nations to the great rustic
steps at Its head there is something di
verting every inch of the way. If you
don't like one form of amusement it is
easy to find another A-ll the way up to
"Venice, and the Davenport farm the
shows range and all In their way are
good enough, some excellent.
The attendance at the Fair ls Increasing
by leaps and bounds and In like measure
the Trail becomes more and more con
gested. Day after day It ls the busiest
thoroughfare west of State street, Chi
cago, and the most Interesting to the
student of anthropology in the world. It
ls usually the first place sought by the
Fair visitor and the last hours of his lin
goring at the Exposition find, him there.
Norwegians Plan Excursion.
The members of the Norwegian settle

land 200 strong on August 27. and partlcl

chorus singing at the Fair that night.
The excursionists have chartered spe
cial cars for the occasion, and will bring
a display of fruits, hops, grains and other
produce to show the resources of their
vicinity.

What ls pronounced the most successful
alrshlD flight ever effected by any manner
, of craft was made, yesterday forenoon,
from the Lewfs and Ciark Exposition
; grounds. From every standpoint the
' flight was a perfect one, and could vessels
i of the air be managed so successfully on
all occasions their practical use as a
transportation medium would be the mat
j tcr of a very short -time. The successful
i vessel Is the City of Portland, recently
constructed by Captain T. K. Jiaiawm, oi
California.
There are four essentials upon which
the claim Is based that no other such
flight has been made as that of yesterday:
First, the distance covered, which was
12 miles in a period of 42 minutes, and
this without any especial attempt at
speed; second, the length of time in tho
air under perfect control, which was 42
minutes; third, the dlrlglblllty of the air
ship, which cut graceful circles and trav
eled with and against air currents, finally
alighting wkhln 20 feet of the starting
point; fourth, the ease with which the
airship was raised and lowered at the will
of the aeronaut, from 900 to 2000 feet.
When the vessel went up, at 11 o'clock,
atmospheric conditions' were perfect.
There was what sailors call a dead calm.
Aeronaut Lincoln Beech ey says that not
until he was up several hundred feet did
he encounter any wind. He headed his
craft northward and cut a clean figure 8
around the Government towers. He then
headed northeast, crossing the Willamette
and touring East Portland. An Incident
of his Eeast Side voyage further shows
the success of the flight. Before the start.
Inventor Baldwin 'phoned a friend at the
O. R. & N. Railway Company's shops that
the airship would call at o'clock.
Promptly at that hour the City of Port
land passed over the shops as promised.
Bcechey was able to time his vessel to
the minute.
Upon reaching a point three miles due
east of the Agricultural Palace, Beechey
headed homeward. The craft bowled
back at an estimated speed of 12 miles an
hour, and. with very little maneuvering.
made a safe landing, amid loud cheers
from spectators of the -flight.
Another and still longer flight will be
made early next week, probably Tuesday,
If the weather permits. Mr. Baldwin ex
pects shortly to match his vessel against
an automobile for a race to Oregon City.

NO TEX - CENT VATJDEYIIiLE
Famous Old Baker Theater to Revert
to Its Original Standard.
Manager George L. Baker has again
taken charge of the theater bearing his
name, and which under his care made so
much theatrical history during the famous
stock seasons of 1KB and 150. The im
mense local popularity and almost Na
tional fame the Baker Theater enjoyed
while It was the home of. the Baker Stock
Company, ls of too recent occurrence to
be dim In the memories of theatergoers
as yet; but during the past year the -house
has yielded to the sudden demand for
cheaper amusement that took the town
by storm, and Its walls have reverberated
with the song of the vaudeville queen,
and resounded with the echoes of broad
comedy, coon-shouters and Illustrated bal
lads. The announcement that a return to Its
former high standard of amusement Is to
take place with Manager Baker's acces
sion. Is gratifying news to all old, regular
patrons, and, no doubt, hundreds of new
ones will appear as soon as the fact be
comes generally known.
Instead of stock and stock plays, which
formerly held the Baker boards, high-
disss musical extravaganzas., burlesque
(which has recently become so popular
here), and comedy of a high order, are to
be the attractions. This Is at present
the most popular form of amusement
throughout the East, and It ls an Interest
ing coincidence that the Baker Theater,
which first introduced high-class stock to
the Portland public, should also be the
one to present this other, equally as en
tertaining and meritorious form of amuse
ment. It is for Portland theater-goers, to
whom It Is new, to see. compare arid
judge for themselves. The first offering
of the season Is to be the Fay Foster
Company, which will open tomorrow aft
ernoon and continue all the week with
regular matinees. The sale of seats opened
yesterday morning at the box office.

one of Clyde Fitch's very best and bright
est comedies. It Is splendidly mounted
and the costumes, particularly the gowns
worn by Edith Angus, are the very finest.
The organization has been greatly
strengthened by the addition of Will R.
Walling, the handsome and dashing new
leading man, and has never dona better
work. The fact that this Is the closing
week of Lucia Moore's engagement is a
source of regret to her many friends here.
and they are turning out in force to bid
her adieu. She Is making her closing
week memorable by one of tho finest
performances she has yet given. The sale
for the matinee this afternoon has been
very large. Remember that there will be
but four more performances, matinees to

The first performance of tho popular

EDUCATION THE KEYNOTE
Congressman Howell, of the Inter-
Mountain State, Warm Supporter
of Exposition, Delivers the
Principal Address.
Utah week has resulted In the state
building at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition being tho scene of many celebra
tions and festivities. Yesterday was an
other gala day at the Utah building. Lo
gan day, entertaining many hundreds of
Congressman Joseph llowell, of Utah.
visitors. TEere was a large crowd at tho
building all day, many of whom were
from Utah and Logan City.
Logan City ls familiarly known as tho
"Athens of Utah," and Its great educa
tional advantages served as a keynote
for the speeches that were delivered by
the various speakers at the exercises held
In the state building at 3 o'clock in
the afternoon. The State Agricultural
College, the Brigham Toung Academy and
the New Jersey Academy are situated at
Logan City.
Bullen, Jr., Preaches.
H. Bullen Jr. presided over the exer
cises and Introduced the various speak
ers. James H. Linford, president of the
Brigham Young Academy, delivered an
Interesting address, dealing principally
upon educational lines. W. J. Kerr, pres
ident of the Agricultural College of
Utah, also made an able address. An
other speaker of Importance was John
Henry Smith.
The principal address of the day was
delivered by Congressman Joseph Howell,
of Utah. Congressman Howell has been
a strong friend of the Exposition ever
since Its Inception. Ho was a member
of the committee on Industrial arts and
expositions In the House of Representa
tives, at Washington. D. C, and It. was
partly duo to his support that the bill
to authorise the participation of tho Gov
ernment at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion was reported upon favorably. When
the anoronriatlon was first suggested.
there was considerable opposition against
It. many of the members of the two
Houses taking the stand that there had
been enough expositions for some time,
and that the Portland Fair was follow
ing too closely upon the heels of the St.
Louis Exposition. Congressman Howell
took an actlvo part in removing - this
prejudice.
Tells of Fair's Success.
In his address yesterday, he said that
from the first he felt satisfied that tho
Lewis and Clark Exposition would prove
successful, but that It had done 'better
than he had expected. He paid glowing
tributes to the State of Oregon and the
people of Oregon and the Northweat for
the liberal support they had given their
Exposition. His pride in his home state
came to the front, and he devoted part of
his address to praising Utah. He called
attention to the fact that a larger per
centage of children attended the district
schools of Utah than any other state in
the Union. He also commented on the
use the people of Utah had made of Irri
gation, saying for many years they had
realized It was the paramount question
of the West.
Following the exercises, a reception was
held. On the balcony, extending around
the main hall of the building, refresh
ments were served by pretty, young girls
dressed In white. The Administration
band gave a concert In the building dur
ing the afternoon.
JAPANESE MTER FESTIVAL
IT WILL BE THURSDAY'S FEA
TORE OF THE EXPOSITION.
Brilliant Spectaclo in Honor of the
Grown Prince's Birthday on
Guild's Late.
Beautiful Guild's Lake will never have
been set off to finer advantage than upon
the occasion of a Japanese water festival,
next Thursday night. Final plans for this
gorgeous pageant, announced yesterday.
Indicate that the carnival will be one of
the distinct amusement features of the
Exposition. It will be given by Japanese
Exposition attaches In honor of the birth
day of tho Japanese Crown Prince.
Gaudily decorated floats, quaint Japa
nese Junks, and small craft hidden In
banks of Japanese lanterns, will wend
their way In tortuous procession through
the glassy waters of the lake from end to
end. Bands and orchestras will play the
national anthems of Japan over and over
and over again, and Japanese singers will
chant the weird notes of old Japanese
airs. The full effect of such a pageant
cannot be imagined; It must be seen to
understand Its full beauty, so those say
who" have seen Blmllar spectacles In tho
Orient on occasions of state or festivity.
Arrangements for the occasion are occu
pying the entire Japanese force at tho
Exposition, and some suggestion Is added
each day. George L. Hutcblns has active
charge of the event. The construction of
floats Is being directed by J. A. Gorman.
Both have had wide experience In this
work.
There will be eight big floats In the lake
parade.- The procession will be led by a
reproduction of Admiral Togo's flagship.
The model will be 60 feet long, and will
be made as true to life as possible. Sec
ond In line will come a float bearing lay
figures of the Mikado, Admiral Togo, Field
Marshal Oyama and Commodore Perry,
the great American naval commander,
who is reverenced throughout Japan. The
third float will show the success of the
Japanese arms. There will be a disman
tled Russian fort adjacent to a Japanese
fort In good condition. Thcro will also be
a huge polar bear, with one of its paws
done up In bandages, while President
Roosevelt's overtures for peace will be
typified by a figure of the American God
dess of Liberty holding out the white dove
of peace. Next in line will come a launch
with four enormous tortoises aboard, de
signed to show the stability of the Japa
nese empire. To the Japanese mind the
tortoise Is the embodiment of long life.
They believe the animal lives for 10,000
years. A chrysanthemum boat and a
typical Japanese Junk will complete the
procession. Following the lake procession,
festivities will be continued ashore, and
it is the Intention of the Japanese to make
thy event a memorable one.
IT IS "Hj TROVATORE" WEEK

Company at Fair.
This has been "11 Trovatore" week at
the Exposition and the free sun-down
concerts given each day on the terrace
at the head of the Trail by the singers
of the "Carnival of Venice" Company
have been devoted almost exclusively to
selection? from the familiar grand opera.
The crowds in attendance have been
very large, and unstinted applause has
been given the celebrated artists who
confpoae the "Venice" Company.
The solo work has been especially note
worthy, while the splendid chorus ,has
ably seconded the principals.
The Exposition management Is to be
congratulated on securing the service of
Klralfy's "Carnival of Venice" Company,

DRYDEN'S INSURANCE BILL
Sleasuro for Federal Supervision for
Which He Will Fight.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Aug. 23. Senator John F. Dryden,
of New Jersey, president of the Prudential
Life Insurance Company, and a man who
ought to know the Inward workings
of those great corporations, believes
with President Roosevelt that there
should bo Federal regulation of all life
Insurance companies doing business in
the United States. In the last Con
gress Mr. Dryden introduced, a bill em
bodying his views on this x question,
and he now announces his Intention of
reintroducing that bill as soon as Con
gress meets In December. There is
little prospect that such 'a bill can
paas next session, but Mr. Dryden is
determined to make the fight, believ
ing that the recent Equitable expos
ures and the general distrust of In
surance companies will have created
sufficient public sentiment to force
the passage of some such law. Mr.
Dryden. while not originally offering
his bill for this purpose, believes that
the enactmqnt of a Federal regulation
law will tend to restore public confi
dence In the big life Insurance com
panies,, something that may otherwise
be difficult, to accomplish.
The Dryden bill of th,e last Congress,
which will be substantially the Dry
den bill In the 59th Congress, provides
for the appointment in, the Bureau of
Corporations of the Department of
Commerce and Labor of a superinten
dent of Insurance, a National actuary
and a full corps of competent officials.
The bill declares that policies of in
surance shall bo deemed articles of
commerce and Instrumentalities of
commerce, and In that way life Insur
ance transactions shall be deemed to
be Interstate commerce. The act,
however, will not apply to companies
transacting business solely within the
state in which they are Incorporated.
The superintendent of insurance
shall compel Interstate life Insurance
companies to make annual reports to
the Department, and shall be author
ized, whenever he deems it necessary
for the security of the polloyaolders.
to make an examination In" to the busi
ness of any such corporation for the
purpose of determining whether it Is
solvent and trustworthy. The com
panies must report to the Department
the value of all outstanding obliga
tions at the close of every year, and
must make a deposit with the United
StatesNTreasury to guarantee the faith
ful performance of their contracts.
Every company before transacting
business in a state or territory shall
appoint an officer who can bo served
with due process of law. Whenever
a company refuses to pay judgments.
Its license to do business is to be re
voked after being- in default 60 days.
It Is further provided that the se
curities transferred to and deposited
by any company with the Treasurer
of the United States shall remain In
his custody until all the obligations
of such corporation that have arisen
out of Interstate Insurance shall have
been discharged or otherwise termi
nated. Whenever a receiver shall be
appointed In a United States Court
and shall present to the Superinten
dent of Insurance a certified copy of
his appointment, together with an or
der of the court for the delivery to
him of the bonds or securities held by
tho Treasurer of the United States as
a guarantee, In order that they may bo
distributed among the beneficiaries In
accordance with the principles of
equity, the superintendent shall pro
cure the same from the Treasury and
deliver them to the receiver.
The bill further provides that, when
ever the laws of any other country
shall discriminate against the insur
ance companies of this country, then
similar discrimination against tho
country involved shall be made by tho
United States.
