"'-& - - 20 THE SUNDAY OREGOKIAK, PORTLAND, JULY 2, 1900. RST WORK BEGUN Street Fair Committees' Start at Building. PAVILION SIXTH AND WASHINGTON Great Arch, of Mala. Entrance Blxtb and Morrison Accommodation Committee Chosen - Practical -work of planning the Portland Street Fair and Carnival was besua yes terday at a conference of the general executive committee and the chairmen oX the various subcolnmltteea. Architects have been working all week on the plans for booths and pavilions, and these were submitted with drawings and estimates of cost, which gave at a glance an Idea of the character of the carnival and the varied scene that Sixth street will pre sent when all these buildings are erected and the carnival open and In full swing. It was determined at the meeting that all the buildings should be up and in readiness for occupancy by August flO, so that exhibitors will have an opportunity to arrange their booths In time for the fair to open up In a finished manner with out the psual hurry-skurry of getting ex hibits In place and finishing touches on buildings. When the Portland fair la advertised to open on a certain day, it will open, and every attraction will be on hand and going in full blast. Over Washington street, at the corner of Sixth, a beautiful pavilion will be erected, that will tower over the adjoin ing buildings and present an Imposing spectacle looking up or down Washing ton street. Underneath the pavilion there will be a large tunnel for the Washington-street cars, and passageways for pe destrians and vehicles. Here also will there be an entrance to the fair, and on the second-story, the main floor of the building, open at the sides, the roof sup ported by pillars, with a view over the fair up or down Sixth street, or outside of the limits in either direction on Wash ington street. The building is as wide as the street, and will extend up and down Sixth street, with the center In Washing ton. A bandstand will be raised In the middle of the main floor, and in the evening, when Illuminated with thousands of lights. It Is bound to be a popular place for those who love to listen to band music, while sitting comfortably in an open pavilion, from which a view of the entire fair can be obtained. The main entrance will be on Morrison street, and spanning the street will be a magnificent arch designed by Architect DelOR D. Neer. The style Is composite, and over the main arch are seen emblem atical flgures, representing Music, Sci ence and Art. On each side rise high towers, making the whole an imposing structure, and giving ample opportunity for flagstaffs on which to display the carnival colors. Plans for the grain palace and the woman's building are being completed, and both structures will be beautiful and striking as works of architecture. Applications for booth space are coming In rapidly, and In many cases are accom panied by designs and drawings showing the care and thought being given to their planning. Arrangements have been made to have a bureau of Information on the grounds during the fair. At present all Inquiries frtfm those wishing accommodations dur ing the fair should be addressed to the "Accommodation Committee, Imperial Hotel Building." Those who will have furnished rooms to let from September i to 15 are requested to list them with the accommodation committee as early as possible, stating number of rooms, lo cation, single or en suite, price with or without board; also distance from car lines and what car to take In order to reach them. The accommodation com mittee is composed of H. C. Bowers, di rector. Hotel Portland; Phil Metschan. Imperial Hotel; Dr. J. D. Fenton, Orego nlan building; T. L Richards, Sixth and Alder streets; J. P. Flnley, Third and Jefferson streets. A large number of visitors are ex pected during the carnival weeks, and every effort will be made to arrange for their comfortable housing, If applica tions are sent In to the committee. REFUNDED ADDED PER CENTS County- Han Paid Back Over 913,000 Illcjjallr Collected. Multnomah County has refunded $13, 22 on account of extra per cents added to certain taxes for the years 1894, 1S95 and 1896 by Judge Northup as County Judge. The collection of taxes was away behind because of hard times and other reason?, and instead of advertising and selling the delinquent property immedi ately after delinquency,' as the law per mits. Judge Northup adopted the plan of extending the period for payment and added 1 per cent as interest, and then 2 per cent, and so on as the time ran on, to pay the expense of clerk hire occa sioned by keeping the tax roll open. He pursued this course for several years, be ing of the opinion that taxpayers who were behind and had difficulty in obtain ing money for taxes would approve of the leniency shown rather than to be sold out in a -summary manner. Most of the delinquents did seem to be satisfied, paying their taxes as soon as convenient, and paying the per cents without protest The extra moneys re ceived evened up things for the county, and the scheme was thought to have been a success, until the Oregon Real Estate Company contested the matter, and the Supreme Court decided that the charg ing of these per cents was illegal under a strict construction of the tax law. Then lawyers and brokers on the look out for a speculation searched the tax rolls and obtained the names of those who paid these charges and bought up the claims for probably about EO cents on the dollar. As the county has refunded nearly $14000, they make It pay. Those engaged In the speculation were U. S. G. Marquam, Nixon & Dolph, Abe Tich ner and D. I McLeod. Some taxpayers collected the money themselves, but the speculators collected the largo majority of the claims. The county also paid back to TJ. S. G. Marquam $2S00 Sheriff's fees collected between. July, 1894, and February, ..1895, under the 1893 law. The Supreme Court held that these fees were Illegally ex acted, as under the act no Sheriff's fees were entitled to be collected. Sheriff's fees collected under 1895 law had to be refunded by the county some time ago, and - Mr. Marquam figured inofo or less In these cases., BIG SHIPMENT OF BEER. aillirnnlcec Brevrer Sendi Good to Manila via Portland. When the steamer Braemar sails today for the Orient she will carry 16 carloads of Milwaukee beer, the shipment of which by the way of Portland marks a new era in the commerco of this port, and emphasizes the fact that Eastern shippers are beginning to realize the importance of Portland as a shipping point for Hong Kong and Asiatic points. The shipment came over the O. R. & N., and is routed to Manila via Hong Kong. Nine carloads came by way of the Oregon Short Line, and seven by way of the Northern Pacific, the latter coming from Wallulu over the O. R. & N. This is part of a 67-carload order, and is a repetition of a similar largo order made In September, 1898. More would have come to Portland if the space could have been secured.

Excellent Work of Soloists and Choruses. The Chautauqua Society, "which has been in session at Gladstone Park for the past two weeks, deserves special com mendation for the excellence of the mu sical programmes furnished for the even ing entertainment, and neither expense nor pains has been spared In this par ticular branch, and the excellent results fully sustain the society in its outlay. During the past week, especially Wednes day and Friday evenings, the music has been of a really high order. Last night the programme was more varied In qual ity, and was a fitting close to a most successful season. Friday evening's con cert appears to have been the most mer itorious of the series. Three soloists, all artistic and pleasing. In Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer, Miss May Denrborne and Profes sor Glen, a string quartet and a cantata, "Fair Ellon," formed a combination that attracted several large trolley parties from Portland and Oregon City to the Park. The opening number was Gounod's "Sanctus," with Miss Dearborne as solo ist, and the combination choir from Taylor-Street Methodist Episcopal Church, of this city, Oregon City's Philharmonic Society, and the Chautauqua Chorus. Al though the solo Is really intended for a tenor voice, Miss Dearborne's clear, pretty voice was a pleasing Innovation. The chorus work was solid and fulL The string quartet rendered two numbers, the first being movements from Beethoven, the latter an exquisite movement by Schubert. Professor Camp's elocution se lections were most happy, his "After whiles," by James Whltcomb Riley, being particularly well rendered. Mrs. Rose Bloch Bauer and Professor Glen were heard to good advantage in the solo work or the cantata, "Fair Ellen." The story of the cantata dates back to the time of the Scottish Chief tains' chlvalric work during the Cove nanters' War. The opening solo, written for the baritone, tells the story of the hppeless condition of the besieged city. Professor Glen received hearty applause for his rendition of this pathetic solo. Mrs. Bauer's solo, the encouragement by the heroic Ellen to hold the city, even in the face of such adversities; the rep resentation by the orchestra of tho far off bagpipes, and the Approaching strains of "The Campbells Are Coming," stirred the large audience for the excellent cli max of the closing chorus, a most soul stirring concerted number. Mrs. Bauer was in excellent voice, and wiOl dMtrv the marked recognition which her beau-' uim voice received. Iontrshoremnn Arrested. Tom Nice, a longshoreman, living at sixth and Davis streets, was arrested last evening by Patrolman Carpenter for disorderly conduct. Nice was drunk and using abusive language toward a crowd collected at Sixth and Davis, and It was reported that he had, an hour or two pre viously, beaten his wife severely and broken her arm. of fine leaf, at a cost of over $80,000. This packing Is always largely sought for by xiavana lactones, ana B. B. & D. were extremely fortunate In securing It." And In the Issue of July 2 of the same paper appears the following: "Importations of leaf tobacco for the week, as shown by the Custom-House record, were: Bustlllo Bros. & Diaz 235 A. B. Ballard & Co t-j Cuban-American Co 60 tobacco, which Is grown In Trinlnbadero district, and which for years and years has been purchased by the 'Commercial and 'ImUmidad' factories and which for its luster and beautiful appearance is cel ebrated all over the world. "You caji rest assured there Is no fac tory that will be able to turn out as good goods as we will this year, and with such prospects we can both look forward to a large Increase in sales of 'Henry the Fourth.'
