PETITION 10 SOUND County Commissioners Favor Calling Special Election in Multnomah. $1,225,000 TO BE ASKED Committee From Commercial Club EncouragedMrs. Duniway Wants to See Dream of Life Com pleted Over Columbia. Commissioners of Multnomah Coun ty favor calling a special election to vote on bonds for the construction of a bridge between Portland and Van couver, Wash.

H. Nolta and M. G. Munly. of the club'a Inter state Bridge Committee, who called yesterday on County Commissioners Holman, Hart and Lightner, to discuss the proposed Issue. They found all three of the Commissioners willing to call a special election for November 4. the date of the state referendum election, but It waa decided to pro ceed by means of petition. Mrs. Duniway told the county of ficials that a bridge across the Co lumbia River has been one of the dreams of her life and that she hoped to live to see It completed. Petition To Show Sentiment. Members of the- Bridge Committee are of the opinion that no difficulty will be encountered in obtaining many more than the 1000 names necessary on the petition. They want the peti tion as a means of showing the senti ment In favor of the bridge. It will be circulated among voters In all vo cations and when filed will be thor oughly representative. It was decided that a bond issue of $1,225,000 should be called for.

J i If ' - v st 2 - l F - '1 rt She hoped the same spirit would be shown on this side of the river. The question of approaches will be for the County Commissioners and the Governor of the state, named as ex offlelo chairman in the enabling act, permitting the vote of the bond issue, to decide after the money has been appropriated. Commissions Mill Control. After the bridge has been con structed control of it will be vested in the Railroad Commissions of the two states. "With us it is a question of county pride," observed Frank B. Riley, chairman of the Bridge Committee. "Clarke County, with an assessed val uation of 114.000,000, has done itself proud by voting $500,000 to assist the project and I anticipate that there will be no difficulty In inducing the rest dents of Multnomah County, which has an assessed valuation, more than 20 times as great as that of Clarke, to do their share. The fact that the state Is willing to pay Interest charges on the bonds shows that the construction of the bridge Is considered of stra tegic commercial importance." Bond Election Count Complete. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Aug. 20. (Special.) Official returns from the 500.000-bond election, held in Clarke County, August 12, have been counted by the Canvassing Board, and found to be 6393 for. to 804 against. , AMATEURS WILL SWIM PEXIXSIXA AND SELIWOOD TO BATTLE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP.

This- is circus day. The good old cir cus with Its gleam, its glitter and its gold, due in Portland with all the cer talnty of August Itself, has once more invaded the city and promises to be the mecca of all whose hearts are young for two whole joyous days Widely heralded, it became an ab solute certainty when four long yel low trains drew into the Northern Pa clfic freight yards during the night with sleepers and stock cars bearing the magio caption: "Ringllng Broth ers' World's Greatest Shows."' As fast as the sections arrived from Centra lia, where the circus exhibited yesterday, they were switched to sid ings at .Seventh and Front streets. There the detraining took place and the cavalcade of wagons, horses and animals marched to the Twenty-fifth and Raleigh street circus grounds. No urging was required to hasten the small boy or even his sister to .the railroad yards. They were down at the tracks by the hundreds, eager to catch a first glimpse of that cargo of elephants and spangles so dear to the hearts of the young. Family Comprises 1300 Persons. Young or old. those who greeted the Rlngling shows welcomed what rail way officials say is the largest arenlc enterprise that has ever visited Port land. More than 1300 people alighted from the trains, 30 elephants and 40 camels lumbered down the gang planks, 650 horses passed through the streets, to say nothing of the 100 dens of wild animals which compose 'the cicus zoo. Out at the show grounds this morn ing was pitched the greatest stretch of canvas ever built. This is the "big top" which measures 498 ' feet in length by 234 feet in width. Its big ness is essential to a correct presen tation of the spectacle of "Joan of Arc." which is this season's added fea ture with the Rlngling enterprise. One half of this main tent is required for this romantic episode in French his tory and for which the Rlngllngs carry a cast of 1250 characters. A new tent has been made to accommodate this massive wordless play, and large enough to hold 12,000 spectators be sides. That the other stretches of canvas might not suffer by contrast and since a larger dining and dressing tent were imperative because , of the greater number of persons employed, the man agement decided upon a complete new outfit All this in its vastness will greet the eye when visitors go to in spect the 24 tents of Rlngllngvllle to day or tomorrow. Clreus Starts at 10 A. M. The official programme for the two days which the circus Is to be here Includes one parade which will leave the show grounds at 10 o'clock this morning, and performances at 2 o'clock and 8 o'clock P. M. today and tomor row. At each performance tne doors to the main tent will open -one hour before the commencement of the cir cus programme, that patrons may have ample opportunity to inspect the men agerie and enjoy the promenade con cert by the Rlngling military band. The programme in the main tent will open with the "Joan of Arc" spectacle. This has as its features, a coronation march depicting the extravagant court life of Charles VII of France, and a monster ballet. The introduction of the spectacle of "Joan of Arc" has in no way cur tailed this season's regular circus pro gramme, for it is but an added fea ture followed by two hours of arenlc display. This enlists the skill and daring of 375 performers, of whom over 80 per cent are foreigners mak ing their first appearance In America. Foremost among them is a troupe of native Balkan equestrians whose mode ONE FEATURE 'Hi, r - r-. THE Portland Hotel Owned and operated by The Portland Hotel Co. G. J. Kaufmann, Manager. N. K.

This morning's parade promises to furnish an excellent foretaste of what may be expected In the "big top." It has been described as "two miles of stretched-out rainbow" and will be filled with novelties, one of the best of which will be a team of 18 camels. broken to bit and bridle, and driven like horses. In addition there will be six bands, two calliopes, 22 elephants. more than 600 horses and scores of open dens showing some of hte finest specimens of the Rlngling zoo. For the convenience of patrons the sale of seats will be conducted at Sherman, Clay & Company's store both days, where tickets may be secured at the same prices charged at the show grounds.
