THIS SUJS'DAY OKlSliOIS'lAtt, FOKTLAJS'D, AUGUST 10, 1902. THESE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN RURAL CELEBRITIES TO BE SEEN AT ELKS' FAIR. Village Philosophers, Statesmen and Politicians Will Be There Vote lor Carnival Q,ueen. You'll meet -with the oddest characters you have ever seen or heard of outsldo o the books unless you have been -way down East in your time-at the "country store" In the Portland Elk' Carnival. Have you any appreciation whatever o the general emporium of news and trade In a way down East village? The crossroads store, where gather the patri archs of the neighborhood to settle every question, National or international, that comes up. and incidentally to swap half a dozen eggs for knitting needles and get a pint of sorghum, on time, was an Important factor in the life of a back wootis community which, in this day of modern communication, can scarcely be f uhv appreciated by up-to-date people. As nearly as possible a faithful repro duction of the country store, such as our great-grandfathers knew, will be gotten up as one of the novelties for the Port land fair. The oracle at Carnival head quarters knows about it. Yesterday he gave some idea of who.'s who and what's to be what in the country store resort. Do j-ou know Juiia Ann Hobucken. postmistress? Her of corkscrew curls, pointed nose, spectacles and rasping voice? Her who, when she had a letter for you had studied the stamp carefully to see where it was from and promptly informed all her acquaintances in the ne;ghborhood that you had received a letter last week from Bosting? Her who notwithstanding her obliging ways in some respects, read all the postal cares and knew at sight everything and every- Lodv that passed in or out of the office? : Julia will be there in all her old-time qualntness taking care of real mall. If, when you call for letters, and she asks you Impertinent questions, you are sup posed to submit politely to her inquisi tions. She realizes the importance of her trust and is careful to see that you have a good excu6e for getting a letter. Puddln Head Pete he's the fiddler lie's coming over with his instrument and you will behold him with his feet on the cracked old stove with a cat and a fiog under his chair, scraping away on the tunes you have heard of but have not heard for many years. Dick Cliftfoot will weigh out the sugar and- make the bargains. The sugar Is guaranteed to have not over 3 per cent of sand in it, and the prunes will not be Imitation. Molasses will be dispensed at current prices. Betweentimes of wait ing on his customers, Dick will take a hand In the political discussion of the crowd of whittlers. Dick's the circus man, you know, and raany's the reminis cent tale he will tell of the time he trav eled all of 30 miles south with "them show people." Dick can drive as sharp a bargain as anybody. In the back room, for those who' want it, will be a barrel of fresh cider, which SI Hopkins says he's going to send down as a substitute for Bull Run. There will be real old pumpkin pies like Aunt Jane Smith used to bake. A certificate will accompany each one that they con tain no sawdust, and if Jim Henry's wife will send some of her doughnuts to the store the ;ury will see that a fair x'erdict is returned as to her cooking. Si Dovers is going to give away samples of coffee for the weary and nungry. Dried apples and peaches and currants. beans and bacon will be sold as reason ably as the storekeeper can afford It. Tote tor Carnival Queen. While the number of ballots that have been cast for Queen of the Carnival during" the past five days would seem to indicate that the contest is going slowly the figures are interpreted to mean that there are plenty of votes being held in reserve until later. When the end of the contest Is noaring and each candidate is believed to have then shown her real strength there will be surprises . all 'round. A shrewd political manipulator might gain points from observing closely the way the Queen s contest Is going. Each one. suspecting that the other Is playing lor a coup, may be likewise pre raring for a coup and the rivalry' for the prize of J500 will, therefore, become in iense Deiore me nnai count. Tne can vass of the ballots made at noon yester nay revealed no astounding gains. The public Is voting fairly well. There were no votes for Miss Harriet B. Sprague. The standing of the candidates follows: Miss Maybelle Douglas 970 Miss Grace Walton "66 Miss Carrie Burgoyne 597 Miss Sadie L. Ridgeway C45 Miss. Louise Mountain ; 282 and delegates will be picked up at other Inland Empire cities. v The excursion from Portland Is In charge of Major C. E. McDonoll. Major McDonefl, when seen last evening, said: "We shall go to Salt Lake with two ob jects in view. The. first ia to boom the Lewis and Clark Fair, the other to boom Portland as the meeting place of the grand lodge In 1905. Of courat. this meet ing place will not be selected until 1904. but we might as well begin now and lay our plans, for other cities will want the big meeting."
