WHEN YOU SEE IT IN OUR AD IT'S SO CORSET SALE Street Carnival Will Assem ble List of Attractions. NEW FREIGHT DEPOT. NO FAKES ALLOWED ON GROUNDS DaxzUnsr Electrical Displays, Pa rades and Pageants, Complete Ex hibits, and Circus and Midway to Ulake Up Street Fair. Since fairs and masquerade festivals In the streets were firet introduced to the amusement world th&sc enterprises have not slood still by any means. From the inception of the craze for fairs on the streets more novelties have had to be in vented to keep up with the times than per haps any other form of outdoor exhibi tion has called for. "When some genius discovered that city people liked the fun and revelry of a street show he had reached an old truth through a new in terpretation. The county fair is the an nual delight of people all over this broad land. The popular Joy over the fanfare, glitter and nolfie of the s"bow, with its showers of confetti, is as infectious as the delight which tickles every mortal's soul when a big circus parades througn the streets. In the past Portland has demonstrated well enough that she has qualities for giving annual festivals that have been remarkable successor. Recollections of harvest festival pyrotechnics, with the principal streets aflame with color, pre disposes the people of the Pacific North west generally in favor of this city as a show town. Another thing timely is that the shows given by the Elks here have been noted for being clean of all objectionable features, which have not boon allowed the license inside the car nival grounds that they have attained a reputation for elsewhere, and which has called for condemnation. President Chamberlain of the Carnival Company, at the outset of the present Carnival enter prise, announced that the policy of this fair should be dead against fake shows and the usual list of vulgar side attrac tions which follow such exhibitions and try In every' way to get in the grounds, to the discredit of the order whfch fath ers the enterprise. But it is frequently overlooked that this Is an enterprise In which the whole city feels an interest, and Is, In large measure, spejneor for, with the order of Elks merely manag ing the business. That the festival show and celebration which will be inaugurated one week from tomorrow will surpass In grandeur former displays of this kind Is assured by the preparations, which show for themselves, and which are the cynosure of thousands of eyes of strangers. The buildings are big, the decorations will be especially fine, and the Illumination of the grounds with electrical globes will be a sight worth coming to see. Every day of the limited time the show will be open Is listed as a special day. Parades and displays, prize-giving, the coronation ot the Queen Monday night, and the royal pageants through the streets, on succes sive days, the spectacular turnouts of the circus and animal features of the Midway which, in itself, is one of the best things that has been sent over the steel-rail pike from New York City the exhibitions of the industries and manu factures of Oregon, together with the ppecial celebrations of societies- and the great parade of the United States regu lars from "Vancouver garrison, on Sep tember 12, will make the 1902 Carnival "go." In this latter featuro alone Port land has an attraction for visitors 'not excelled by any other city In the Pacltlc Northwest. There will be nearly 2C00 sol diers In line. Including the cavalry troops, with about 409 horses and 3T0 men. This great mlltary display will be about two miles and a half In length and will make this day of the Carnival quite memora ble. Nothing has been left undone by the Elks to make the attractions of this show superior to anything of the kind given here before. The buildings will be of an artistic finish and the displays are re plete with fresh interest. Altogether, about 15 blocks' space Is consumed by the exposition. Each detail of amuse ment and of display Is a triumph for the managerial ability of the Carnival director.. To attempt a description of the Mid way is to essay a difficult undertaking. In the street of all nations will be three Hindoo Mahatmas, cheek by jowl with a bunch of Ccssacks from Siberia. There are Russian and French singers and dancers, Chinese musicians, Japanese acrobats, fire eaters, exponents of black art, etc.. etc. A novel feature Is the Moorish palace, which Includes in Its equipment a theater wliereln a striking example of Moorish Hf is portrayed. There Is also a Mexican theater In which Don Alarcon and family of five sing Mexican songs. They also give a spectacular representation of a Spanish bull-fight On the Streets of Cairo will be found all sorts of Orientals, Egyptian, Syrian, Turk, Arabian. In the Orlontal theater La Belle Fatlma and her famous troupe of Oriental danc ing girls will be found. It would be Impossible to enumerate all the fascinations of the Midway. There Is Lunetta. the flying lady; the high dive by Captain BIgney, who has the world's rec ord for this class of diving: the balloon ascension: the slide for life, by Mile. Collins, who comes hurtling SO feet at an angle of 75 degrees, suspended by her hair; the famous Grunatho sisters, French acrobats: the projectoscope; the cycle dazzle: the marvelous loop-the-loop act, and Innumerable other wonderful shows. This Elks' Carnival will be liter ally the greatest show on earth. There are seven outdoor performances in the Midway, a Ferris wheel, a minia ture railway and several other novelties, to say nothing of a complete dog and pony circus and Jabour's menagerie of wild animals. Bis Excursion for Seattle. John B. Coffey, chairman of the Elks' committee which is making arrangements for the Portland excursion to the Seattle Carnival, Tuesday, yesterday telegraphed to Seattle for Information whether ac commodations could be provided for the Portlanders. Reports have been spread that the city is overcrowded, and the local Elks found that their excursion was being injured thereby. In response to the Inquiry, Frank H. Paul, manager of the Seattle Elks' Carnival, telegraphed: "Re port is false. There are plenty of ac commodations for all that come." Great interest is being taken in the excursion among the Elks, as well as other Port landers, and accommodations have been arranged for 1500 people. One hundred and fifty Elks will go in uniform with a band that will play on the way. A stop of an hour will be made at Tacoma, dur ing which time the Elks will parade with the sand. Ho Was Enrl Li's Physician. CHICAGO. Aug. 23. Dr. Robert Colt man, of Pckin, China, ex-physlcian to LI Hung Chang and now secretary to a Chi nese General, Is in Chicago. His family lives in "Washington, and ho is on his way with a nine months' leave of absence to visit them. "LI Hung Chang was the greatest man I ever knew." said he last night. "Ho killed Jrlmaelf with overwork, and I waa with him when he died. He had a won derful mind, and China may never have To Be Built for Oregon City Line at Madison-Street Brld&rc Approach. "Work has been started on the founda tion of a freight dock and depot for the Oregon "Water Power & Railway Com pany on its ground on the south side of the approach to tho Madison-street bridge. This is the place where the former de pot stood before the Are swept over that district. The new dock begins at the west side of East "Water street and will extend, out about as far- as the old one did, but will be much wider, being 100 feet wide. The destruction of the freight depot caused great inconvenience to the freight and ex press business of tho company, as well as to the public, as cars stand in the street on tho "West Side. Plans for the largo dock which will ex tend from Madison bridge to Lincoln street south have been prepared, and work may bo started on the plledrivlng soon. The company now controls all the water front from Hawthorne avenue as far cast as East First street, to Inmah, Poulsen & Co.'s sawmill. It will All up Eist "Water streot when the general Im provements on tho terminal grounds aro begun. W'AXT ROAD EXTENDED. County AV111 Be Asked to Open High way to the Columbia Itlver. An effort is being made to open a road to tho Columbia River direct from Fair view, it being an extension of the Terry roud. If extended it will pass through tho Smith estate, which Is soon to be di vided up into small farms. It is set forth that this rood will open up a large ter ritory. As one result, and not the loast important, it is urged that a ferry will be placed at this point, which would be of great advantage. There would prob ably bo a wharf built at this point also for the accommodation of farmers. Much feed and produce aro used and received by rail that could come by boat. The county will probably be asked to open and build this road. There has been agitation in the past for this road, but until there wero prospects that the Smith farm would bo broken up into small tracts there was Httlo hope of getting it through to tho river, but there is now. CATCHING SALMON TROUT. Fairly Good Hauls Arc Reins? Made in the Columbia River. Salmon trout aro being caught In the Columbia River, between the ferry land ing on the Oregon side and the Baker place, up the river. The fish caught range from seven to 1G Inches In length. Tho Knott brothers fished there Friday and came home with 11 line salmon trout. It takes considerable skill to ORtch fish In tho Columbia. Many have tried it. but only those who know how have succeed ed. Some Use long poles, but the most successful use trolling lines, with sinkers, which they throw out 75 feet.

Pleasant "Way to Drive Array the Blues. A food that will bring back health and rosy cheeks to the sick as well as please the palate of the healthy is a pretty good food to. know about A lady In Minne apolis says: "I am such an enthusiast upon the subject of Grape-Nuts that I want to state a few instances of its value that have come under my personal ex perience. "I was taken ill with a serious stomach trouble, so 111 that the slightest movement caused mo pain and could take nothing into my stomach or retain even medicine or water. I had been two days without rourishment when my husband suggested trying Grape-Nuts. '-The nurse prepared some with warm -water, sugar and cream, and I took it hes itatingly at first until I found it caused me no pain, and for ten days I took no other nourishment. .The doctor was sur prised at my improvement, and did not resent my attributing the speedy cure to the virtues of Grape-Nuts. He .said he bad a case on record of a. teething baby who grew rosy and fat on the same diet "Grape-Nuts are so dainty and delicious that" It appeals to tht whole household, and when either husband or I feel gen erally 'out of sorts' we try confining our selves exclusively to the food for a day or two with tho happiest, results. "For a year I had had for a neighbor a delicate glrfc-an epileptic. When I first knew her she was a mere shadew, weigh ing 70 pounds, and subject to fearful at tacks, having as many as -12 and 16 con vulsions in a day. At such times she took no nourishment whatever. She had never tried Grape-Nuts, and as any food seemed tb increase her trouble at such times, it was with olfficulty I persuaded her to try it. But I told her of my experience and induced her to try a few spoonfuls. "The taste delighted her, and ever since sho has made it her chief article of diet. The result has been wonderful; her im provement Is the subject of remark with all who know her. The attacks are less frequent and violent, and she has gained 20 pounds since last November, and her family attnbute her improvement solely to Grape-Nuts."

A number of business men met in the warehouse of Colnnel McCraken's large stone and brick warehouse, situated on tho -corner of 10th and Johnson streets, to wltse5s a test made of an elevator built by J. H. Moon, of 63 V First street. Portland, Or. The elevator la to carry and handle a load of 4000 pounds, weight. Tho power Is furnished by a little 74 H.-P. motor furnished and set by the Portland General Electric C.. and the power transmitted from motor to main drlvlnc pulley by a elnfle leather endless belt 4h? Inches wide, furnished and put on by the Pacific Coast Rubler Co.. of 41 and 43 First street. All the machinery, ahaftlnc and boxes, steel ttfety locks and ateel springs were made and furnished by A." R. Helntz & Co.. the' Pacific Iron Works, of east end of Burnslde-strcet bridge. All the manlla shipping ropes and bolts, lag screws and washers, spikes and ecrewit were furnished by F. E. Beach & Co., First and Alder street. The flexi ble steel hoisting cable and counter-balance cable was made and furnished by tho American Steel & Wire Co.. of Portland, Or. This Immense cage alone, with all the lock and truss rods, weighs 1683 pounds. Mr. Moon loaded on about 2000 pounds of Iron and steel on the cage, placed a pan of egps on the cage and set a glass of water on the cage, turned on the motor and hoisted cage up and tied It with a stronr new manlla rope, then slacked oft the strong steel cable until It hung way down slack and limp. It made the new manlla rope shrink and quiver under tho terrible load that hung upon it. Then Mr. Moon set up a ladder and climbed up on the cage, and called his son. Roily Moon, to come up and stand by him on the cage: be ordered some one to move the ladder away. Then he called his son. Freda. Moon, to climb to the. top of the building and elevator, and chop oft the rope that held the cage. At this order the spectators stared with fright. Mr. Moon called out. "Chop the cable oft. Fred; we are Just as safe as those standing on the floor." Tho rope was cut and came falling, but th cage was Instantly locked and so firmly fastened that five times that load could not force It down. The Jar from the fall -ot tho cage was so light that no water from the glass was spilled and no eggs broken. The cage with this heavy load fell Just three Inches, Just enough to operate the strong steel locks. This was witnessed by E. H. McCraken and the owners and manager of the Oriental American Co., and a number of other prominent business men. 130 SIXTH We arc selling Office Furniture Desk Chair ff Cft like above, J.
