TAYLOR THE MAN Is Prominent in" His Profession and Has Filled Important Muni cipal and State Positions in tho Past. BY A. A. G. In the beginning It seems to have been a case of "pals," for Mayor Doc Lane and Douglas W. Taylor, the new City Engl- neor. have played together since the 50s, when they were boys together. Now that they are both boastfully wearing gray in tholr hair they are again close together In the government of the town where each has spent his entire active life. Be cause of this long-standing friendship, the other day when the Mayor quarreled with Captain Wanzer and asked for his place, lie appointed "Doug" Taylor to fill the vacancy. Of course the fact that Taylor Is a Democrat by birth and train ing had somothlng to do with It, but prob ably the early friendship lnfluonce was tho stronger with Mayor Lane when he made the new appointment. Yesterday was Mr. Taylor's first day in office, and he was very busy trying to settle himself when I found him up at the city building. The new City Engineer has lived in Oregon since 1S54, when he was brought around by way of tho Isthmus by his parents. Hl3 father, who still lives here, hale and hearty and full of years, very naturally Is proud of the son who has been called to one of the most important of the city's posts. Douglas Taylor has been an active man In his profession for many years. They say of him that he is not a brilliant man but an honest and worthy one. A fel low who does what he believes to be right a much safer guaranteo than any other Indorsement ho could have. , In 1S63 he entered the Multnomah Coun ty Surveyor's office, where he remained until 1S70. From then until 1S72 he en gaged In railroad construction for tho Southern Pacific From 1S7J to 1S7 he was County Surveyor, and from to 1S7S, and from 1SS1 tb 1SS3, City Engineer. During the years from 18SS to 1S90 he was Surveyor-General of Oregon, and from 1881 to 1833 he was Superintendent of Streets of Portland. Since that time he has engaged In the practice ot his profes sion in a private capacity," and has been identified with some of the big corpora tions of the city and state. His local standing is high, and the excellent tribute of being a good citizen is paid him by all the older residents. He has a family of three boys In whom he feels a big degree of pride, and Is a householdor of public spirit In South Portland. He is tall, gaunt and unstylish, a proper man with no frills but some conscience. If one may be a Democrat and a good man at one and the same time. Douglas Taylor seems to be that. He's assuming the weight of a lot of grief and tribulation as City Engineer, hut he seems able to carry IL The rest Is guesswork. He may make a good official, and again ho may not. We can only hope. RECEPTION T0MISS VANCE Friends Honcr tho Retiring Secre tary of the Y. W. C. A. A pleasant reception was held last night at. the Toung Women's Christian Asso ciation rooms. Sixth and Oak streets. In honor of Miss Harriet Vahce, who has resigned her position as secretary of the Portland Association to accept a similar position with the organization at Peoria. HI.

GUARDSMAN BADLY HURT PREMATURE DISCHARGE OF CAJfXON INJURES HIM. E. P. Strandbcrff Suffers Broken Arm and Is Severely Burned by the Powder. While the Exposition Guard was en gaged In firing a salute of twenty-one guns yesterday In honor of President H. W. Goode's birthday. Private E. P. Strandbcrg came near losing his life. As It was he suffered a broken arm and was severely burned by powder, and had to be taken to the Emergency Hospital where his wounds were dressed and the burns reduced. The battery auxiliary to the Exposition Guard was stationed at the foot of the grand stairway, near the bandstand, and the accident happened Immediately after the firing of the first gun, early in the afternoon. Just how it happened is not ADMISSIONS, 1635. The turnstiles yciterday recorded 10,535 admissions to the Levrls and Clark Exposition. certain, but from the accounts of the injured roan and his comrades, it is thought that he neglected to thoroughly swab out the gun before inserting the second charge of powder and therefore some sparks remained In the piece and when the new charge was rammed home the powder ignited, causing an explosion. The force of the explosion blew the ram rod over 100 yards out Into the lake and threw the guardsman to the ground with terrific force. Were it not for the fact that he had hold of the rod, it is more than likely that he would have been In stantly killed. His blouse nas consid erably burned by powder, and a crossed cannon badgo that adorned his breast was blown away and was not found near the scene of the accident. The Injured man suffered a severe fracture of the fore arm, and was badly burned about the face and hands. That he did not lose the sight of both eyes is due to the fact that he wore glasses. Strand berg- Is an ex perienced guardsman, having been a member of the local mllltla for six yearn He stated to Major McDonnel that the accident was his own fault, for he should have usee" more caution In loading the cannon. D IS AGREEMENT OT SETTLED Misunderstanding Over Judging of Exhibits Continue. It is not likely there will be any definite settlement of the misunderstanding -between the executive commissioners of the foreign and state commissions and the Division of Exhibits, at the Lewis and Clark Exposition for several days. The committee of exhibits of the Exposi tion will meet shortly, and then the mat ter of the exhibitors furnishing three samples to the Department of Exhibits will be decided. The committee of ex hibits Is composed of President H. W. Goode. L N. Fleischner, A. H. Devcrs, C E. Ladd, George T. Myers, H. I Corbett, B. Van Dusen and T. B. Wrllcox- Mr. Wil cox is chairman of the committee. Colonel Henry E. Doscb. director of ex hibits at the Exposition, is strongly op posed to changing the system of making awards that has been Inaugurated. He disagrees with the commissioners that the system of furnishing three 'samples to be examined by the jurors outside of the exhibit buildings is unsatisfactory, but says it Is the only manner in which the prizes and medals can be awarded with out partiality. He says with the proposed system, which has been protested by the commissioners, the jurors have no way In knowing the origin of the goods they ex amine. Colonel Dosch states that he will oppose adopting the system of the jurors visiting the exhibits to be passed upon, when the matter comes up before the committee on exhibits. Modern "Woodmen's Day.
