"Whatever may be done in the way of applying the surplus remaining In the treasury of the Lewis and Clark Expo sition to creation of a permanent me morial of the Fair In some form will be largely decided by "the heads of the transcontinental railroads and man agement of the street railway com panies of Portland. Among the heav iest subscriber, to stock of the cor poration were the railroad systems centering at Portland, with a total Investment in the enterprise of $50. 000, of which the Southern Pacific and O. R. & N. companies each gave $15,000, ISr. Harrlman subscribing the amount for the two corporations, and C. S. Mellen, then president of the Northern Pacific, subscribed $20, 000 for that company and the Great Northern. The City &. Suburban Company subscribed $10,000. the Port land Railway Company $7000 and the Oregon Water Power & Railway Com pany $3000. The management of the Portland Railway Company Is there fore the present holder of $17,000 of the stock. These subscriptions, total $70,000, or almost one-fifth of the total stock of the corporation. No official action ha6 been taken by the management of the street railway companies and there is no local official having authority o act for the rail roads, but doubtless their recommen dations will carry much weight with the financial heads of the respective companies. "While the final reports of the various departments of the Lewis and Clark Ex position will not be compiled and made public for at least two weeks to come, a full statement of the admissions, paid and free, was obtained by the Oregonlan yes terday. The dally admissions have been announced regularly by the admissions department, but a comparative statement of paid and free admissions has not be fore been made public, and holfla con siderable of Interest as showing the ex act status of the Exposition from the standpoint of attendance. The official records of the admissions department shows that the paid admis sions during the entire Exposition period arnccnt to 1,5SQ,617. and the free admis sions to 971,163. This brings the total of 2.551,780, which represents the exact num ber oT times the turnstiles have ticked. Tickets Sold and Not Used. The number of tickets sold and not used Is sufficient to bring the figure to 2,554,848. On Portland day alone there were more than 1403 tickets sold that did not pass Into the ticket machines at the entrances. The records for June show that during the first month there was a total of 209.368 paid admissions, as against 209,884 free. During the 15 days of October that the Fair remained open the paid admis sions were nearly as heavy as during all of June. The returns for this period of 15 days shows 204,875 paid admissions and 108,708 free. Tabulated Statement. A comparative statement by months is presented in the appended table: Paid. Free.'

Most of the Exhibits Will -Be Sent to Los Angeles. A desolate aspect did the Trail pre sent yesterday. Few were there and they were on hand to tear down decora tions or remove articles of value. By the end of the week the Trail attrac tions will be scattered to the winds. A big percentage of" them will go to Los Angeles. The animal show has split into many parts, owners of animals taking them on vaudeville circuits. Princess Trlxle has likewise been taken to vandevllle. Klondike is to be converted Into a rink for roller skating unless present plans fall; the Haunted Swing may go to the Oaks; the Infant Incubators to Los An geles: Gay Paree is dead and a crepe bedecked sign on the ticket booth bears the legend, "Dead but not Forgotten." Tha Igorrotes will go from Portland to San Francisco and thence to Los Angeles. The Haunted Castle and Trip to Venus may likewise go to Los Angeles. The Palace of Mirth, Mirror Maze, and Streets of Cairo go to a beach resort near Los Angeles. The balloons are headed for Los Angeles and the Carnival of Venice has hopes in the same direc tion. Midnight Sun and Darkness and Dawn are figuring on Los Angeles park, while Fair Japan has similar intentions. The Galveston Flood,- Old Plantation, Luna, and Cascade Gardens are all denri.

Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen ot the Convention: I desire to prasent fer the consideration of this august body the name ! a man who Is hold In reverence and veneration wherever official unchastlty. political chicanery and el vie cor ruption are loathed and execrated. He Is known far and wide as the champion and auxillar of Integrity: the foe and assailant of fraud; the advocate of party fealty and the harbinger of factional concord. This gentleman with splendid modesty and elf-sacrifloe "has consistently de clined, heretofore, to permit his name to go before a convention of Ms com patriots as a candidate for political distinction. He has preferred to battle from the ranks, obscure and unregarded, for the glorious principles emblaroned upon the unsullied banner of Republicanism. He has refused, I repeat, to aspire to public office heretofore, and would doubtless so continue could his exalted sense of duty render him deaf to the voice of a groat people a voice that has roiled on with increasing volume, until at length its thunderous tones are no longer ,to be mistaken or ignored. He has dwelt among us since earliest boyhood. He came to Oregon in the dawn of lirevlth tjte Ir'e&hnoss of .the morning in his heart and the gladsome radiance of the rising win on his brew. Here he has passed Into the noon of virile manhood, with hand always' outstretched to the weak and Infirm, and voice eer leveled against the tyrant and oppress c. In days of party vicissitude, wljen the hcrUon .was somber with presages of defeat; when. the wind sighed dismally through the dead trees of hope. and"" despair clutched, with skeleton angers, the heart of our dejected hosts. Then it was. with eloquent tongue, that this man vitalized the spiritless breast with confidence and scourged recreant fear from out the light of day. Marlon' County has honored and empowored me tesubmlt. for, the nomina tion for Congress from the First District, the Hame of her favorite son. that sterling citizen, that loyal friend, that affectionate husband and father.

The Superior Court at the Lewis and Clark Exposition will meet this after noon at 1:30 o'clock for the purpose of taking active action on some sixty ap peals. As soon as these appeals have been decided the work of making a com parative award list will be started. The standing of various states and exhibitors is not known at this time. "It is im possible to make even an intelligent guess as to the standing of exhibitors." said Colonel Dosch. Director of Exhibits yes terday. "There arc about 10,000 awards and until these can be tabulated and compared no conclusions can be formed. I expect to have this work finished by the middle of next week." Presentation to 'Mackenzie.

Mackenzie, of thp Re position, was presented yesterday with a oeauuruuy engraved and framed testi monial from those emnloved in hln de partment, expressing their appreciation ui maiuciie mm tuna treatment dur ing, the summer.

Methods of Cooking Will Be Taught to All Who Desire to Learn.- Thc School of Domestic Science will open Its classes this morning with Miss Lillian Tingle again in charge, assisted by "Miss Margaret Wlshart. More Interest iSbeing taken in this school by the gen eral public than ever before, which is par tially accounted for by the great success the Young Women's Christian. Associa tion made with the domestic !clence cooking at the Exposition this Summer. All the food served in the restaurant in question was so deliclously prepared that many came to understand for the first time that scientific cooking amounted to more than a mere fad. One of the first applicants Miss Tingle received for the cookery course-was the daughter of a Portland woman who had been a patron of the Exposition restaurant, and an ,othjr mother brought in a little girl of pnly six years to begin the first course. Last year Miss Tingle had a very suc cessful class of school girls, but most of them averaged 14 years and over. She Is particularly anxious to have a class of younger children this year, stating that these little ones learn cookery with sur prising Teaulness and accuracy and as a rule are very fond of it. At 9 o'clock this morning a class in general cookery will meet at tho school hall, 131 Tenth street All ages will be eligible. A review of first principles will be made and an effort made to system atize the knowledge alroady possessed on the subject. A lecture .course for house keepers will begin at 2 o'clock this af ternoon when Miss Tingle- will tell the members of this class "How a Household Should be Fed." The hour of this ledture may be changed in tho future if it proves more conveniont to nouseKeepors to come at some other time. Tonight there Is to be a red letter event at the Y. W. C. A rooms. Sixth and Oak, where a free party will be givon for women and girls who want to- learn "how Uie bachelor girl may cook for ten cents a meal with a $1.50 equipment, and how to use up odds and ends in making pretty useful things for Christmas." Miss Tingle will demonstrate. In tho "cookery and the. domestic art teacher will show every ono how to make the pretty Christmas gifts. Supper will be served at 6:15. and tho girls are expected to come In their every day clothes and have a good time. A Normal class in cookery will be given instruction on Thursday mornings, and those who wish to take up Domestic Soioncc for the purpose of teaching It afterwards will report at that time. Thursday afternoon Is' set aside for the maids or domestic workers class, when special instruction will be given those who wish to make their living through service. Advanced housekeepers will have Friday mornings and arrangements for any kind of a special course can be made for that time. Friday evening will bo devoted to the class for business women, and Saturday morning to the school girls' class. By special request a class for teacher? have been inaugurated and met last night for the first time to make arrangements. - Government Building Exhibits. A force of 300 men has attacked .tho exhibits In the Government building and is proparTng them for shipment. The first exhibit to be sent away will be that of the life-saving service. The members of the picked crew have al ready returned to their various posts of duty. Chief Disbursing Officer Geddes. in charge of the building and exhibits, states that six weeks' time will be re quired in which to ship the thousands of exhibits. Most of the displays will be returned to "Washington. What disposition will be made of the building Is not yet known." It is be lieved, however, that the usual procedure will be followed: that the building will be appraised and sold. The building with Its wings and annexes cost nearly a quarter of a million dollars, and It Is doubtful if more than a mere fraction of this sum will be realized. The bolts and Iron supports alone cost 51200. John Manning's Child Dead. Mary Verdon Manning, the little daugh ter of District Attorney John Manning, died last night, after a brief Illness. The immediate cause of death was capillary bronchitis, following an attack of croup. The child was 3 years old last June. La" Grippe Thrice Cured. ."f. have had the grip three different times," says Mrs. Thomas Cleland, of Al liance,' Ohio, and was left with a bad cough. Every time I was cured by the use pf Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, and 1 can not speak too highly of this valua ble medicine" For sale by ail druggists. HUlsboro Citizen Says Take the 3Ioney to Help Deepen the . River Channel From Port land to the Sea. ' "The proposition of using: the divi dends to be paid to stockholders of the Exposition for tho purpose of purchas ing a part of the grounds for a public park has not been considered by the proper authorities of the company," said President F. I. Fuller, of the Portland .Railway Company, last even ing when asked what would be the at titude of the corporation on that ques tion. Then he added: "Of course, we appreciate that the grounds In their present parked condi tion represent a large cost that will be lost if the site Is vacated. If addi tional parks arc to be created, as they must necessarily he with the gTowth of the city, great expense would be Incurred In doing the preliminary work that has already been completed at the Fair grounds. The matter not having1 been considered, I am not at liberty to say what the action of the company will be should the proposi tion take concrete form." Citizens Are Interested. There is a great deal of interest manifested in the subject by citizens generally. Accessibility of the grounds is urged as among- the strongest reas ons why the proposition to make the grounds a public park- should meet with favor "of citizens generally, and since It would-be Impossible' to have the proposed memorial museum In the park, the park feature is most dis cussed. The transcontinental railroads the O. R. & Southern Pacific, Northern Pacific and Great Northern contrib uted to the capital stock of the Expo sition 550,000; the street railway cdm panles took stock to the amount of $20,000: hence the combined holdings of transportation companies amount to $70,000 of the capital stock of 5400. 000. President E. H. Harrlman sub scribed the $20,000 equally divided between the two companies of which he Is the head, and President C. S. Mellen. of the Northern Pacific, sub scribed 520,000 for the two Northern roads. Local representatives of the two sys tems will probably be called upon to recommend what they regard as the best course v to be pursued, and their advice will doubtless be of great weight In the determination of the financial heads of the transcontinental lines as to whether or not the amounts due In dividends shall be utilized for a permanent park commemorating the Exposition. What Individuals Say. ' Numerous communications inve buenJ received by The Oregonlan, expressing views of correspondents on the sub ject of a permanent park or memorial building. These convey some Idea ot the variance of views, but also demon strate that the topic Is one of very general Interest, and some strong ar guments are advanced. Parks or Memorial? To the Editor While the discussion I." on. vie beg space for an, opinion, ans a plea as well, fer a "Lewis and Clurk" Park. The writer has lived In Portland ("the most plcturesaue rity" in the United States) but ene year. It was largely the beauty of the landscape and mild climate that attracted us Sierc (leaving out the excellent opportunities for business"). We have visited the enchanting sjjbl known as City Park aboet once a month, while we visited the City Hall but once dur ing tbe year, not that we do not appreciate the rare and valuable collection now on ex hibition there, but seeing thwe things once or twice will satisfy most anyone, .while a viell to the City Park Is always enjoyable. especially on clear days, when the noble snpw peaks are In view, always looking different, varying with the colors or the sky and hues of the atmosphere. The Lewis and Clark Fair grounds are llkewlfe delightful and can eas ily be com tried Into a park whose value can hardly be estimated in dollar. Any one rais ing a family of children.. we believe, will ap preciate a lovely park ten times as much as a memorial building, we say park first, and if means permit memorial building next. The name Lewi and Clark would in Itself be a lasting memorial, since it was the Lewis and Clark Fair that brought Into prominence this, lovely ml Let us give Portland prominence as "the most plctuique city In the United States." It will attract people from all over the world, and to uphold this name we want several beau tiful parks to enchant and entertain our visit ors. No doubt some would remain permanently. We hope the board of directors will use their best endeavors to get the content of the stockholders to we s portion of tho surplus from the Fair to purchase a large portion of the Lewis and Clark Fair site, and trust the owners of the property will only ask a reasonable orlce for the grounds, a two years ago it was nothing but a rough piece of ground. The Fair has brought it Into promt nenee. Some philanthropic perron might buy and donate the site to the city as a memorial, but we fear this hope would be blighted. The Consolidated Street Railway Company could well afford to donate a liberal sum to this purpose, as It will come back to them In a short time and forever after be a source of revenue for Jbera. which will increase as the population grows. The present generation and all those fol lowing will forever thank these- generous hearted ptryiw who would so donate a portion of ihle .surplus. E. u. WILL. Lewis and Clark Memorial. To the Editor. It la much easier to ride a willing horse than a bucking broncho, there fore by all means give the Lewis and Clark stockholders a further opportunity to ehow their public eplrit. and incidentally further the cause of unequal taxation by making the first payment on a Lewis and Clark memorial, for completion of which they will also pay taxttf. Let us see how It sizes up. John and Thomas own adjoining homes, each paying 515 In annual taxes. John, feeling a degree of public spirit, subscribes for 520 Exposition stock, expecting no return, but willing to sink that amount for the public good, but Thomas has narrower views and does - not subscribe. The management Is successful, and 5120.O0U Is saved to the stockholders. JohnVf share being 5C and now comes the project of donating the stockholders' dividends to the erection of a Lewfs and Clark memorial. In the coot of which this 5 12a 000 will be but a etarter, the remainder to be raised by tax atlon. of which tax Thomas wilt pay his pro rata, while John pay his pro rata plus 5& the plus being for 'his public spirit. The wealthy holder of 55000 of stock can afford to donate his dividend with a flourish that quite shames the SCO citizen Into -unwillingly sur rendering his, a sort of forced subscription to the new project, and therefore making un equal taxation. In order that equity may be observed In settlement of the Exposition affairs and sus plclon of forced subscriptions to the new en terprise be avoided, why not draw a check for, the amount of .each dividend and mall to the respective stockholders, accompanied by These Coats Are in Tweed Mixtures, Black ancVBlue, Gray, Etc. Don't be misled. Wo earn the largest, best selected and varied stock of Ladies' Coats in the city of Portland. We don't except any house, big or little. We give you the largest window display, of ladies' garments and we have the goods and at popular prices.

We sell more because we have the stock of modest prices. Hence the Eastern factory markets are at our feet the best of them to sell us garments. Our buyer is continually on the ground in New York.

Last week we placed the largest skirt order ever given by a firm in the city. Think of that, will you. It Avas for One Hundred Dozen Skirts of one style. Don't you think our having such a capacity to handle goods, will coramaud best figures at the factory? No, we don't write many ads. like this. We haven't time.

To the Editor Following up your Idea as suggested by your editorial of Sunday, that pcrhapn the stockholders of the Iswls and Clark ExpoMUon might wish to donate the amount coming to them in the wajr of dividend to some object that would perpetuate the Fair Just closed, and for which we are alt proud. I would suggest that an annual. stock show such as we had at the Exposition would be one thing that would be of great value not only to Portland and the state, but to tho whole Pacific Coast. ThlB Is a natural etock and dairy country. When our breeders can hlp their stock across the continent and compete In the great est shows of the earth and win. It proves that the conditions are such here that we can produce the best, and 1 know of nothing that can be as far-reaching in Ita benefits as a ehow such a I hare outlined. J believe that this Is the opportune time to take' this matter up, and I am of the opinion that art organi zation should be effected by the business In terests at once while the matter Is .fresh In our minds. The one thing necessary to make a etock show a access Is the assunfnee of the sup port of the stockmen themselves. This we have.
