"" ISntcrtaln tlio Public.
The modern street carnival, such, as 13
to be aeen In Portland September 1 to 13,
with its glittering: pageants of Oriental
toggery, its menagerie, midway shows,
, trained animal shows. Illusions and all
latest wonders in mystical and mystifying
Illusions, is a happy compromise between
tho old-fashioned county fair, -which za
' cherished as the great event of childnooa
life, and expositions of the present perioa.
"While It has its serious purpose, ingen
ious amusements, of course, have the
lead. From 15 to 20 blocks will be taken
up -with tho Portland CarnlvaL The ilrst
division will bo a brilliantly illuminated
Court of Honor, whero tho Queen and her
gorgeous court of attendants will regu
larly hold forth,receiving tho plaudits and
the homage of her thousands of willing
subjects. There will bo a section of free
open-air shows and enough will be going
on every mlnuto to claim the attention
lof alL There -will bo concerts In tne
Temple of Lights and Music by bands
nearly every hour of tho afternoon and
evening.
Shows on the Midway.
Tho animal shows, the streets of all
Siations, the celebration of special days,
tho village of Mexicans, a Moorish village,
where native acrobats do all sorts of sen
sational feats; high diving, performances
of -wild animals from African Jungles,
rides in a captive balloon, a dog and pony
circus, and as many more new features
will all be -within the gates of the big
show. Low railroad rates have been
made for the carnival for two weeks and
everybody should avail himself of a
chance to visit the metropolis, for the
Oriental circuses which have been secured
lor the carnival will not be seen outside
of the carnival walls. A MardI Gras fes
,tlval for maskers, when showers of con
tfetti will bo thrown, will close the fair, and
to eay that it -will be gay is putting it
mildly.
Beginning with the first day, September
i, which will be Labor day, and celebrated
as such by the organized labor organiza
tions of tho city, there will be feature
days every day of the two weks the car
nival is to run. This year the Portland
lk3 have offered a number of cash prizes
that are well worth striving for In the
contests that have been gotten up. No
raufly decorated medals or badges will be
given in contests, but good yellow gold.
Cash, It is realized, is the best incentive
tor people to get up showy displays for
any event Remembering this, on JSlks
day, September 4, cash prizes will be hung
up for the lodge that shall make the best
showing In tho grand parade.
Says of Special Interest.
There will be a wedding day, a "baby
day, a day ior children, when, a Shetland
pony with cart and harness, all worth
5400, Is to be given away to soma lucky
ticket-holder. There will be a harvest
festival day when gardeners and agricul
turists are expected to compete for valu
able prizes. There will be a fraternal so
cieties day, which will draw attendance
from all parts of tho state, owing" to the
contests that will be gotten up.
The manufacturers' section of the fair
will bo a notable thing this season. A
great variety of exhibits will be Bhown.
A eplerdld display of merchants and man
ufacturers' wares will bo displayed by tne
leading establishments of the Paclllo
Northwest. Manufacturing plants of all
kinds will be In full operation, and will bo
better than ever at any previous indus
trial exposition, and practical exhibitions
of many articles never befor6 seen manu
factured in nubile will interest and in
struct visitors. Many artistic booths will
contain exhibits and novelties cf all kinds
will be distributed over the grounds. The
Illuminations of the city treats will bo
on a 6cale never boforo attempted.
What, with tho dally pageants that will
oass through tho walls of tho exposition.
the rai-c, the Immense variety of amuso-
inents that will bo offered tne lira: carnival
looks, at this time, as If it will bo one of
the largest affairs of tho kind and one
of tho best things in the exposition line
that has been offered to thePaclflo Nortn
west. Tho fact that it Is managed by
"home" peoplo, tho B. P. O. E., is a guar
cntee that no fakes will lo Imposed upon

Attractively low rail and steamer rates
liavo been mado for" tho carnival from
very part of tho state, and indeed from a
gi cater distance. Tho following prelim

Tho exterslvo preparations being made
I for tho carnival have drawn so much at
tention to tho Order of Elks that a brief
history of the organization will be Inter
esting. Tho following facts regarding
Via rdfr were furnished by John P. Cor-
'dray, ono of tho organizers of Portland
Lodge, No. 142. In reply to a question Mr.
Founding: of tlio Order.
"The great activity, phenomenal growth
ind influence of the Order of Elks make
very interesting at this time a Trief his
tory of the order. Tho founder of the
order may be said to be cnanes Alger
nan Sidney Vivian, eon of an English
clergyman, who came to this country in
1SCT. Ho was a ballad singer by proies
Bon, and soon gathered around htm. a
number of men prominent in theatrical
and musical lines. At one of the social
meetings of this congenial crowd, Viv
ian proposed that they form a permanent
club, and the idea met witn instant favor.
The 13 charter members of this organiza
tion, which afterwards became the Benev
olent and Protective Order of Elks, were
Charles A S. Vivian, Richard S. Steirly,
William Carleton, Henry Vandermark,
William Sheppard, Edgar M. Piatt, will
lam L. Brown. Harry Bosworth, M. G,
Ashe, John T. Kent, J. G. Wilton, Frank
Langhorn and John H. Blume. Thirteen
Is usually considered an unlucky num
ber, but this has not proven to be so in
the caso of the Elks.
"It was in 1S67 that Vivian and his as
Boclates formed tho order which after
wards became known as tho Lodge of
Elks. They selected the rather euphoni
ous name of the Jolly Corkers, and by this
name the organization was known until
the following year. In the meantime the
order grew rapidly in numbers, - and it
was decided that a more appropriate
name might be selected. Vivian suggest
ed the name 'Buffalo, as that was tho
title of a social organization in England,
to which he had belonged before coming to
this country. Another member suggested
the name Camel, but the three American
members of the organization insisted that
a name which was thoroughly American
should bo chosen. Some of the members
who happened to meet at Barnum's old
museum were struck with the appear
ance of a fine elk's head, and at once tho
Idea was suggested that tho name 'Elk"
would ba a very appropriate one for the
order.
"Afterwards In looking up the history
of the elk. It was found that the de
scription given this noble animal was that
it was 'fleet of foot and timorous of do
ing wrong, avoiding all combat except
when fighting for the female or In defense
of the young, the helpless and the weak.'
It was then decided that the name 'Elks'
should be the name of the order. The first
.constitution of the grand lodge of the B.
O. E.. organized February 10. 1S63,
shows Charles Vivian as the presiding
officer. The membership at this timer was
derived chiefly from the theatrical ranks
and the preamble to the constitution or
tho lodge read as follows: 'The under
signed members of the theatrical, minstrel,
equestrian and literary professions, .and
those who sympathize and approve of the
object In view, do hereby organize an or
der to promote, protect and enhance tne
happiness and welfare of each other."
Monument to Vivian.
"Later Tti the year 1S6S, Vivian, the
founder of the order, became estranged to
some extent from some of his fellow-mem
bers on account of a slight in connection
with an entertainment given by the lodge,
in which Vivian was to appear, but his
name was left off the programme. There
was talk of expelling Vivian from the
lodge, but the action was never taken. He
died at Leadvllle, Colo., March 20. 1SS0.
In 1SS9 it became known that the grave
of tho founder of tho Ordor of Elks had
been neglected, and tho Elks then caused
the remains to be exhumed and laid at
rest in tho Elks' plot of the Boston lodge,
whero a suitable monument has been
erected to his memory. Up to 1S74 there
were but two lodges of Elks, with a mem
bership of 200. In 1882 there were 14 lodges,
with a membership of 1805. The order
now has over 730 lodges, with representa
tives in almost every city of any size In
the United States, and the total mem
bership will exceed 90,000. On tho roll of
membership of the B. P. O. E. will be
found the names of prominent officials.
United States Senators and Congressmen,
merchants, bankers, Journalists, lawyers,
doctors, and many of the brightest lights
In the world of art, literature, muslo and
drama.
"Charles E. Pickett, of Waterloo, la..
is the present grand exalted ruler of the
order, and George A. Reynolds, of Sagi
naw, Mich., is the grand secretary. The
next meeting of the grand lodge will ba
held at Salt Lako in August"

VrotcMt Against Higher Assessment.
HELENA, Aug. 2. Tho State Board
of Equalization received protests today
from representatives of railroads operat
ing in Montana against thB Increase of 1S5
per cent in the railroad assessment of tho
state. They will be given a hearing next
week. A raise in tho assessment means
that railroads will pay between $120,000
and $450,000 more in taxes in Montana for
this year than last.
Governor Toole favored an increase of
300 per cent, but the State Auditor and
State Treasurer who, with himself con
stituted the i majority of the board. In
duced him to accept the assessment as
made. The Governor, in explaining his
action, said:
'The Northern Pacific and Great North
ern were assessed at only 25 per cent, of
valuation placed on property by the North-
ern Securities Company. We may have
been In error in taking $52,800 a mile as
cash value, but when such successful
financiers as Mr. Morgan and his asso
ciates have within a year paid that sum,
it certainly makes a prlma-facle case for
the board."
Railroad Line Located.
WHATCOM, Wash., Aug. 2. Advices re
ceived today at the office of the Belllng
ham Bay & British Columbia Railway
Company state that the line has been
located over the mountain through Han
ncgan Pass, and that a surveying party
is now located on the eastern slope. Th
mountain will be tunneled a.t the pass
and this will give the road an easier grade
than cither the Great Northern or North

Vanderhllts and Hill In Fight.
BUFFALO, N. T., Aug. 2. The Great
Northern elevator, capacity 3,000,000 bush
els, has withdrawn .from thev Western
Elevating Association, says the Commer
cial. The Great Northern elevator is
owned by tho interests controlled by
James J. Hill. The withdrawal of. tho
Great Northern .from the Western Ele
vating Association was followed immedi
ately by discrimination on the part of
the railroads controlled by the Vanderbllt
interests against the Great Northern. la
. . Tin ' "in i r -mrr r -
BIRDSEYE
brief, says tho Commercial, a fight is now
on between the Vanderbllt Interests and
James J. Hill.
The withdrawal of tho Great Northern
is 6ald to be due to the failure to agree
regarding the percentages to be allowed
to the elevator. It is said that the Great
Northern wanted more than the associa
tion was willing to allow.
Roclc Island Reorganization.
NEW YORK. Aug. 2. Deposits of Rock
Island stock with the Central Trust Com
pany of this city, for conversion Into
the new securities, are reported to be
very large. This is accepted by the Rock
Island management as evidence of gen
eral approval by the stockholders of tho
reorganization plan.
Condition of Portland's Streets.
PORTLAND, Aug. 2. To the Editor.)
A prominent business man the other
day deplored the condition of Portland's
streets, and said they made a bad im
pression on visitors. This man evidently
shows the right spirit and desires the wel
fare of the city at large. The rapid growth
of all larce cities depends on Its publlc-
unlrited citizens. Every man, woman and
child who lives here should be Interested
In making Portland preferable for strang
ers to any other town on tne coast, xase
a few observations from a stranger him
self. Rotten wooden streets are oaa
enough, but there are worse things.
Try to make it .agreeable for visitors
and to their advantage to locate. Don't
act as If you meant "How much have you
got?" Too many such rebuffs will drive
a man back East. He is apt to feel he
has been buncoed out hero, and to think
your boasted business "chances a myth;
and tho more he thinks about It the mad
der he gets, realizing at last that he left
a good home, where the fruit and climate
were equally as great and business Just
as booming. This is not a slap at the
city Itself, but to those few who ought
to know and do better. It is marvelous
what heavy shipments of household goods
have been received at the Northern Pa
cific frelghthouse this Summer, and equal
ly surprising the amount never opened,
but sent back. This cold fact speaks
louder than any newspaper criticism, and
perhaps It would be well for Portland to
know this for Its own good.
You have a bewildering system of street
numbering that might direct a stranger
more easily if reckoned a hundred to the
block. This could apply to named streets
as well as First, Second, etc Would lt
not be quite a blemlng to sprinkle the
suburban streets? Everybody will admit
that great clouds of dust are a nuisance.
And your city, with its beautiful and
busy river flowing by, would be exceed
inly attractive with a llttlo more water
ing and mowing of its lawns.

VIEW OF THE ELKS'
A VIEW-OF LYLE.
Embowered in Nature's Loveliness
and With. Prospects, Too.
M OSIER, Or., Aug. L "Faith comes by
hearing" we are told, and if you have
never yet visited this beautiful upper
country it Is fully time the word was
snoken which will "encourage you Jrt make
good the delinquency. Do not allow the
fine scenery of tho Columbia River longer
to remain "untaken" by your mental
camera. From the placid heights of ex
perimental knowledge I would say that
llfo Is passing, and, though Lyle" may. have
more settled convictions a year from now,
it is to be doubted If it will ever be more
amusing or better worth a visit The
Lyle & Goldendale Railroad Is fighting
Its way through the dangers' and dif
ficulties attendant upon laying a track,
and when finished will bring the rich
wheat lands of the Horse Shoe Bend
country to the market door, which, being
interpreted, means Lyle.
Whoever should have visited Lyle one
year ago would hardly have mentioned It
as dead because a certain consistency is
desirable In all manner of communication.
That which never had life would not be
spoken of as one speaks of the departed,
neither would ono lay obituary wreaths
upon a sandfleld. Lyle's hand3 were not
crossed, neither werc garlands ot remwn

brance hung upon her she simply had not
yet been born. Sho was named, yes; but
many a fondly expected child Is prema
turely named. Now she has arrived, she
is here, beautiful as to location, sur
rounded by wonderful possibilities, but of
herself bustling, nclsy and speaking with
the tongues of Babel. Meanwhile, her
friends await developments. Capabilities
are unlimited; achievements will follow.
With well laid out, shaded streets, lined
with substantial buildings, reaching up to
that lovely Klickitat stream now, speak,
you who know the country around would
not Lyle be a beauty spot on Nature's
face?
Meanwhile, tho surrounding country Is
essentially fruit land. Balfour's fine fruit
farm is a pleasant feature of Lylo scenery,
and, by following the courso that
the Lyle & Goldendale Railroad will
eventually take "over tho hills and far
away," down the Columbia to White
Salmon, one sees what In the future will
bo the finest fruit belt of the country.
Whether that future Is near or far de
pends, as in everything else, upon effort.
And, O ye dwellers In the Eastern lands
of blizzards and cyclones, what a climate
and what scenery I Come away from your
heat-smitten plains and view this sunny
upland which awaits development. A few
trees, a few vines and a few years, and
you may eat your own cooling grapes and
apples, resting, with no fear of cyclones,
beneath your own roof-tree.
The county road leadlngfrom Lyle to
Whlto Salmon winds through the upland
country, of which I speak particularly. I
have in mind one spot on Tracy Hill,
whero the wonderful panorama unrolls to
view Washington and Oregon, Columbia
River and snow - crowned mountains,
forest-clad hills and purple grey canyons,
farms, orchards and shining streams
fairly catches the breath and tho soul is
overwhelmed with the Immensity ot earth
and sky. A little further up the road
passes into the timber, fine Summer range
for cattle, where homes are pleasant, but
requiring work in clearing. Several good
hay farms Ho in here, notably those of
Henry Johnston and Jack Perry. All are
setting out fruit as they can, and there
are some fine orchards coming on. Will
the readers of The Oregonlan pledge
themselves to come, if not now, 100 years
from now, and eat of the fruit thereof?

TREED BY A WILDCAT.
Tnxllllnsr Experience ot Samuel
Griffith on White Salmon River.
A party composed of Frank Meldron.
Captain A M. Cox, Sam Griffith, S. Ray,
Nick Becker, Frank Score, William Neid
ermark and J. McGInnls returned from
Whlto Salmon River yeaterday, where
they spent a week hunting and cruising
for timber. Samuel Griffith had an ex
perience during the week which he will-,
not soon forget. He remained in camp
with (hls dog one day, and tho dog treed
a wildcat near by.
Griffith climbed the tree, thinking that
he could scare the cat out. and give the
dog a chance at him, but the tables were
turned. Ho climbed well up, when the
wildcat suddenly started down and passed
Griffith. The dog at the foot of the tree
prevented the animal from reaching tho
ground. When Griffith started down, tho
cat assumed a belligerent attitude, and
he had to stop. This was repeated several
times, but each time' the wildcat threat
ened to spring on Griffith. The animal's
eyes flashed Are, his tall became as thick
as a man's leg and the claws extended
over an inch. It looked to Griffith HkeH
going up against a buzz-saw to get past
the cat, and although he grew hungry and
half-famlshed lor water, there was no
way to get down out of the tree. .The
faithful dog at tho foot of the tree never
relaxed his watch, and there they weTe
until the rest of the party returned. Grif
fith was up in the tree for about half a
day before lie was released.
JOHN A. MAKES FAST TRIP
ELAPSED TI3IE TO AND FR03I BAY
CITY. 22 DAYS 17 HOURS.
Srflla an Even Race With the Weather-wax
on the Up Trip About the
Bailey Gatzert Accident.
The schooners John A. and J. M.
'Weatherwax arrived In yesterday, after
sailing a very even race from San Fran
cisco, making the run up in nine days.
The John A. has completed one of tho
fastest round trips made by a sailer
for a long time. She sailed from the
Columbia River at 6 P. M., July 10, and
reached San Francisco at 3:45 P. M. on
the 16th. She remained In port discharg
ing a week, and got away for Portland
again at .3:15 P. M. on July 23. Her actual
timo on tho round trip, including tho
time spent in San Francisco, was ac
cordingly 22 days and 17 hours. In the
old days,, when freights were higher and
vessels less plentiful, some of the owners
of, San Francisco had a standing offer of
a new suit of clothes for every round
trip made In less than 30 days, and if a
man was so fortunate as to make 13
round trip3 a year between the Colum
bia, Puget Sound or Gray's Harbor, ho
received an additional bonus of 5100. This
practice has generally been discontinued
for a number of years, and the decline In
freights will probably retard Its revival.
The time made by the John A. Is now
especially fast. If voyages ono way were
considered, but as it is an unusual com
bination of good luck which enables a
vessel to catch favoring winds, both up
and down the coast, at this season of the
year, the performance is an exceptionally
good one. In single trips the ancient Tarn
O'Shanter. widely arrived In a few days
ago, probably has a better record than
any other vessel in the trade, as she has
several three-day runs to her credit, and
on more than one occasion has beat the
tlmo of tho steam schooners in the trade.
The record from San Francisco to tho
.Columbia River Is said to have been es
tablished over 20 years ago by the Amer
ican ship Western Shore, a Coos Bay pro
duction. This vessel made tho run In CI
hours, beating Ben Holllday's crack
steam ship Orriflamme.
WORK OF A HOODOO T
Bill Barnacle Throws Some Light on"
the Bailey Gatzert Accident.
"Do I believe in hoodoos?" said Bill
Barnacle, a. b., whose early Ufa
wasf
spent on square-rigged craft on deep
water, but who for a number of years
has chased atruck on that class of ves
sels known as paddle-shlps or stern-
wheelers. I certainly do, and I can
prove that there are worse things than
cockroaches, bedbugs or fresh flunkeys
on some of these fresh-water packets.
Take the Bailey Gatzert. for instance.
Sho was built up at Ballard, Wash., by
Johnny Holland, the unlucklest man who
ever lived. Holland was so tickled over
her speed, stately proportions and gen
eral air of elegance that he had some
large brass plates made bearing his
name, date of launching of the boat, etc.
She wa3 unluckly from the day she was
launched, until Scott, Sccly & Co. bought
her. About the first thing Captain
Ubiquitous Scott did after he took charge
was to get a crowbar and pry those brass
-signs loose, and send them to the Junk
pile on the dock. He accompanied his ef
forts with some of that choice Anglo
Saxon profanity that has mado him fa
mous, but his work was very effective.
The hoodoo had been banished, and the
boat was lucky ever afterward, and it
has proved a big money-maker for the
White Collar Line.
"Last Sunday one of the officials of the
line was rummaging around the scrap
pile, and stumbled on to the discarded
brass plates which Captain Scott had
discarded years before. He hauled them
out, had them polished up and placed on
the Jboat. An observer who remembered
Captain Scott's objections to the signs re
minded him that trouble would follow,
but they were screwed In place, and
Monday morning the Gatzert steamed out
on her regular trip with a full freight and
xpassengcr list. She made all of her land
ings with the regularity of- clockwork
and pulled out of Astoria on the return
trip, right on time Monday evening.
Then tho hoodoo turned loose In its might
and berore tne boat got across the bay
the crosshead of the starboard piston
broke, smashing cylinder-head and cylin
der Into a hopeless ruin. The Gatzert
limped back to port on one engine, and a
deckhand told, me that one of tho unsu
perstitlous officials of the company tore
down those brass plates before he ordered
a new engine. There Is something mvs-
terlous about tho workings cf a hoodoo
after all."

FIRST-STREET HYDRANTS
Have to Be Lengthened Before At
tached to East First Street Main.
The 14-lnch water main was laid last
evening to East Washington street, and
will be completed to East Oak street tho
middle of the coming week, if the pipe Is
supplied. It was necessary to put this
main down from three to five feet deeper
than was expected, hence It has been
necessary to make extensions to all the
fire hydrants Intended to be placed at
Intersections on East First street, be
tween East Market and East Oak. The
hydrants were finished and ready to be at
tached and could have been attached the
past week, but for the delay In making
them longer.
At all the Intersections provisions have
been made so that it will take but a short
time to make the connections as soon as
the hydrants are ready. The six-Inch
main on East First street will not bo
taken up until the larger main Is com
pleted to East Oak street, and the hy
drants have been connected. The smaller
pipe will th;n be taken up and used
somewhere else. District Engineer Hol
den sa-3 that another Are hydrant will
be placed on tho Intersection of East
Morrison and East Third streets for bet
ter protection in that neighborhood. It
will be attached to a six-inch main, but
there will be plenty of water to draw

Kneiv the Food That Furnished
Povrer.
A grandmother, by studying thB proper
selection of food, cured herself of stomach
.ntia onrf severe headaches. Later on
she was able to save her little grand
daughter because or ner Knowledge o
food. .
She says: "When baby was 5 months
old she was weaned because of the severe
Illness of her mother. She was put on a
prepared baby food, but soon lost flesh
and color, became hollow-eyed and fret
ful. We changed her food several times
but with no permanent benefit. At last
her stomach rebelled entirely and threw
up nearly everything she took. Sho would
be wet with a cold perspiration after
feeding and would cry plteously with
pain. This la a dangerous condition for
a small baby, and In this extremity I re
membered how beautifully Grape-Nuts
had agreed with me, and suggested we
try the food for baby.
"We began very carefully with it, giv
ing two small teaspoonfuls at a feeding,
softened with boiling water and fed in
sterilized milk, warmed. The experiment
was a perfect success.
"She his been on the food five weeks
and can now eat other food, for tho
change in this brief tlmo is wonderful.
She has gained over three pounds in
weight, has rosy cheeks, bright eyes, and
she has the appearance of a satisfactor
ily nourished and thriving child."
Tho reason that Grape-Nuts will agree
with adults and babies Is that the starch
of the cereals has been transformed into
grape sugar in the process of manufac
ture, and when introduced into the stom
ach It is ready for Immediate assimila
tion and does not tax the powers of tho
organs of digestion. The result Is always
beneficial and the food has saved thou
sands of lives.
