Portland Wins Cakewalk.
Portland was the winner In the first
of a series of inter-city competitive cake
walks to be held at the Carnival. The
"big white cake offered last night as a
prize for the most adept steppers in rag
time was awarded to Fred Vaughn and
Daisy Whitfield, and as the choice was
determined by the audience, there can be
heart-burnings but no complaint from the
other contestants.
Last nights crowd was the largest yet
handled by the Carnival management.
The grand-stand and bleachers were
filled early in the evening and the over
flow got into the field despite the bar
riers erected to keep the people within
"bounds. The three sides of Multnomah
field were lined with hundreds of spec
tators and inside the building were fully
2000 more visitors. It was the banner
night, and a few more such record
breakers will bring about the return of a
large part of the guarantee fund.
While the cakewalk was the main at
traction, there was a little by-play in
the Indian encampment that was amus
ing. The Indians were gathered around
the platform early in the evening, but
gradually the kloochmen stole silently
away. The band continued to turn out
a varied assortment of syncopated melo
dies, and in the dim light at the far end
of the field could be see na group of
dusky maidens and matrons, doing their
level best ,to step in ragtime. And they
were having a jolly time all by them
selves until the music stopped.
There were eight couples entered in
the cakewalk, all of whom were colored
except Frances and Viola Tlce, two lit
tle white girls, one of whom was dressed
as a boy. Seattle.Spokane, Chicago and
Portland were represented by the couples,
and in turn they pranced out and dem
onstrated what they could do. Vaughn
and Whitfield were far away the cleverest
of the bunch of colored dancers, and
the woman was particularly graceful in
her movements. All of the competitors
were good, and the entertainment furn
ished was more than satisfactory to the
vast audience. The Tice sisters received
an ovation as they danced about the
platform. The eldest of the two could
not have been much over 14, but both
are born dancers and seemed unusually
adept in the intricate mazes of the cake
walk. The sisters were awarded a spec
ial prize in the shape of a cake. The
following people participated in the com
petition: Fred Vaughn and Daisy Whitfield.
George Russell and Ida Stuart.
"Billy" Bird and Sallie Tompkins, Se
attle. James Anderson and Sadie Rltter.
A. F. Dupree and Corinna Wright, Spo
kane. J. J. Christian and Bertha Williams, Chi.
cago.
Tom Brown and Minnie Doris.
Frances and Viola Tice.
Exhibition of "Broncho-Busting."
Cakewalking was by no means the only
feature of the evening's entertainment.
Mine. Austen, the daring horsewoman,
gave an exhibition of broncho-breaking,
and the mettlesome steed she rode, though
not wild, was sufficiently skilled in buck
ing to keep the plucky rider at her wits'
end to retain her seat- Mrs. Austen also
repeated her tandem hurdling act, sending
the two ponies over four hurdles in clean
laps. Hermann's daring ride down the
inclined stairway was of unusual interest
to the spectators, and was enthusiast
ically applauded.
The picturesque war dance of the Yak
ima Indians was 'given by the band, and
following came a repetition of the sham
battle (Of Thursday night, in which a rep
resentation Is given of a night attack on
an Indian camp. The Indians have proven
a great attraction during their stay, and
credit is due to Messrs. L. B. Seeley and
E. W. Crlchton, who were largely re
sponsible for their engagement,
order.
Sirs. Claud Gatcli's Pictures.
Two studies la the amateur photo
graphic exhibition at the Carnival have
attracted considerable attention, arid both
were awarded prizes by the committee of
judges. The pictures were mad by Mrs.
Claud Gatch, of Salem, who is the eldest
daughter of Dr. O. P. S. Plummer, and
is well known here. One study represents
a violinist putting a new string In her
instrument. The daughter of William
Dumars was the model, and the artistic
nosing, and general effectiveness of the
picture would make it noticed in any col
lection. For this photograph Mrs. Gatch
was given first prize in class 1. ,
In class 2 Mrs. Gatch secured second
prize with a study entitled, "Across the
Dunes," representing a little maid in the
costume' of the Dutch peasantry, sitting
in the midst of endless foothills of smd,
emptying her wooden sabats of the sand
that has found its way in them during
her trip across the dunes. It is a splendid
little picture, and as an artistic study is
worthy of preservation through the
medium of copies. Mrs. Gatch has previ
ously won recognition by her clever work
with the camera and received a gold
anedal for excellence at the Spokane Ex
position. Wonderful WarblinRS.
The Alpine Todlers took the house by
storm last night, and sang so sweetly that
they were encored to the echo. One of
their selections was a Swiss lullaby, in
honor of the baby show, and it caused
prolonged applause. These singers, who
cause the echoes from the Tyrol to float
through music hall, have given such good
satisfaction that the Carnival committee
has extended their engagement until the
close of the Exposition.
Veterans Meet.
One of the visitors who hunted up Gen
eral Summers at the Carnival yesterday
was Captain Myers, of the United States
Marine Corps.
These old war comrades were glad to
meet again, having each had varied ex
periences and having both participatea
in stirring scenes.
Captain Myers was a Lieutenant under
Dewey at the battle of Manila Bay, and
was in command of Cavlte navy-yard
when the Second Oregon Regiment arrived.
He was then relieved by General (then
Colonel) Summers. When the troubles in
China began. Captain Myers was ordered
there, and was in command of the United
States legation guard during the siege of
Pekin, during which he was wounded.
General Summers escorted his fellow-
veteran through the great Exposition
building and showed him the princely
products of the fields, fortsts, orchards and
streams of the Northwest, and, as Cap
tain Myers expressed It, he will never for
get what he yesterday saw In Oregon. Ho
left last evening for San Francisco,
where he will take the first steamer for
Samoa, to which point he is ordered for
duty.
Welcome Visitors.
The large delegation of Carnival visit
ors from picturesque Wallowa County
came a long distance to get here, but
seemed to enjoy the varied features ot
the Exposition. They were accompanied
by the Joseph cornet band, which gener
ously volunteered its services for a splen
did concert In the west wing last even
ing. The music rendered was highly ap
preciated by a large audience. The uni
forms of the band are neat, and their
work was the subject of much favorable
comment. The band is led by George
Mack, formerly of the Portland Marine
band. There are 22 pieces in the Joseph
band, and it begins an engagement at the
La Grande fair Tuesday.
Admired by All.
The wonderful polyscope held the spec
tators In a spell last night, and President
McKInley's last speech was the best fea
ture ever seen here. It will be repeated
every evening during the coming week, and
in addition there will be a realistic re
production showing the funeral of the late
President.
TO TAKE UP THE DRYDOCK
FOR A SOLDIERS' MONUMENT
Movement Started to Erect One In
Lone Fir Cemetery.
An organization is now, being completed,
the object of which is to erect a $15,000
soldiers' monument in Lone Fir cemetery.
The movement started in Sumner Post,
G. A. R., some time ago, by the appoint
ment of a committee to ascertain cost
"and particulars. Professor M. L. Pratt
was made chairman, and started corres
pondence with monument-builders. The
aid of the various posts in the city is
being solicited. A general committee
from all the posts will be appointed, with
some outside men, to take charge of the
whole business. In Lone Fir cemetery
are burled soldiers who responded to
the call of their country in the Mexican.
Civil, Indian and Spanish wars. This
monument will; be a memorial to them
alL ' It is proposed that each of the four
sides will represent one ot these wars.
Professor Pratt says:
"This movement appeals to the heart of
every true, patriotic American. Although
no work has, as yet, been done In the
way of soliciting subscriptions, jret many
have already expressed their intention of
subscribing to the fund. This is one of
the oldest cemeteries in the city, and
the dead burled there represent thou
sands of families who are interested, not
only in honoring the country's defend
ers who lie buried there, but are also
Interested In seeing this cemetery beau
tified in honor of their own dead. Such
a monument as is contemplated will
beautify this 'city of the dead' and stand
as a silent sentinel, reminding future
generations of the cost of self-government,
and a testimonial to the patriotism
and loyalty of the people of this common
wealth. This state had one regimerit in
the Civil War and furnished one for the
late Spanish War. Members from each
of these are burled in Lone Fir. There
have been some efforts to prevent any
more burials in this cemetery, and some
talk about its removal. The first may
be accomplished, but the second Is im
possible. It will be Improved and beauti
fied and the effort to place a monument
to our soldier dead who sleep there is
only-one of many which will be put rorth
in the future to make this hallowed spot
one of the most beautiful in the city.
The're should be no difficulty In placing a
$15,000 monument In this cemetery, if all
who are Interested respond according to
their means."
To Celebrate Starting of Woolen Mill
The people of Sellwood and surround
ings will hold a celebration, under the
auspices of the Sellwood Sub-Board of
Trade, on the completion and starting up
of the Portland Woolen Mill. It will
take a form similar to the banquet given
when the site at Sellwood was chosen.
There isjspme talk of having this cele
bration held at the plant If the arrange
ments can be made. The big building will
be filled with machinery, and it may be
difficult to find room even in the large
structure for all those who will take part.
The flume and power will be all ready,
and President Donaugh, of the Sub
Board, thinks that It would be an inter
esting feature if the power could be
first turned on as part of the exercises.
It would probably not be safe, however,
to start the machinery with the building
occupied with people. If it Is not con
sidered possible to have the event at
the mill, it will be held at the Volun
tee Firemen's hall. A committee has al
ready started the preliminary prepara
tions. The affair will take place some
time in December. The mill is now rap
idly being finished.
Will Dicuss Lewis and Clark Fair.
Next Friday evening there will' he a
joint meeting of all the Sub-Boards of
Trade in the Eighth Ward In Gruner's
Hall, for a general discussion of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1905. This
will be the only business that will be
taken. Several 'short addresses will be
delivered. Major T. C. Bell, Rev. Father
J. H. Black, Thomas C. Delvln, D. M.
Donaugh and others will address the
meeting. The object Is to create an in
terest in the exposition. All will be wel
come to attend the meeting, which will
be held In Gruner's Hall, corner East
Seventh and Stephens streets. The Wood
stock and Waverly cars pass a short dis
tance away.
Leg: Broken.

EUGENE, Oct. 12. The Eugene Lumber
Company is receiving a large drive of logs
from Charles Williams.
There has been no decided effort as yet
to raise the cash bonus asked by H. D.
Wagnon, of Portland, for the construc
tion of a woolen mill In Eugene, but some
preliminary steps are being taken In that
direction. Next week a canvass will be
made to see what can he done towards
raising the required sum.
The National Guardsmen in Eugene are
arranging for a rifle contest to be held
some time next month, probably on
Thanksgiving day. Prizes will be given
for individual and team contests. Teams
will be entered by Companies A and C,

enter a team.
MOVE MADE BY PORT OF PORT
LAND COMMISSION.
First Conference to Be Held Tlrors
day Evening Financial State
ments of Ihe Port Submitted?
Upon the assembling of the Port of
Portland Commission yesterday afternoon
President Hughes called attention to the
fact that one of the Important purposes
for which the commission was consti
tuted was to provide a drydock and that
no definite action had yet been taken
toward that end. He suggested that the
commission confer with the proper com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce and
others interested in the enterprise, and
come to an understanding as to the
course the commission should pursue In
the matter, for the commission would
have to take the legal action, though It
might act in harmony with the advice
of other interested bodies. It was agreed
that the commssion should hold a special
meeting next Thursday evening at the
office of Commissioner Banfield, and
that the navigation committee of the
Chamber of Commerce should be particu
larly notified of It and invited to be pres
ent for a conference.
The president was authorized to pro
ceed with the preparation of plans for
the proposed change of the dredge pump
from double suction to single, with such
changes In the runner as shall be neces
sary to meet the new form of shell; also
for & new form of pump shaft. Authority
was also given to tike bids for making
the changes.

ATHLETE'S FAILURE
Was Not a Success Until He Was Put
on the Right Food.
Cecellus X. Hale, of 1717 Barclay street,
Baltrmore, Md., now quite a famous run
ner, has had some Interesting experience
in regard to proper feeding. His testi
mony is worth the attention of any ath
lete, or, in fact, of any person who care3
for good, sturdy, powerful health.
"Up to about 18 months ago I had been
In many athletic contests, without much
success. I about made up my mind 'it
was time to stop, but a physical director
of the Y. M. C. A. of this city advised
me to use Grape-Nuts food and "Postum
Cereal Coffee as principal factors in my
diet.
"I accepted the advice and today am in
possession of perfect health, and a great
many medals won In different athletic
events. I can now run a race and finish
In fine condition, whereas before I started
on the right diet I would find myself in a
faint at the end of a race.
"Formerly I had more or less nervous
trouble and severe headaches. I am glad
to say since using Grape-Nuts ,and Pos
tum Food Coffee I have forgotten what a
headache feels like. My heart is in per
fect condition, whereas while I was using
ordinary coffee It would not stand the
heavy strain. This statement Is abso
lutely true, and I do not object to your
publishing It, for It may bring back health
and strength to some poor being suffering
from ill health, caused by the use of im
proper food."
There is a reason for this; in the first
place, ordinary coffee will show Its ef
fects somewhere in the nervous system
frequently in weakening of the heart or In
stomach troubles, which prevents one
from obtaining the strength and value ot
food. It Is, therefore, necessary to quit
the use of this drug, and In Its place use
Postum Cereal Food Coffee and Grape
Nuts Food.
They were both Invented by a food ex
pert and are made at the famous pure
food factories of the Postum Cereal Co.,
Ltd., at Battle Creek, Mich. This food
and the food drink are both made for a
definite purpose, and there are thousands
of users throughout the world that can
testify, from practical experience, that
the theory is borne out by the facts
