THE SUNDAY OKEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JUNE 21, 1903. 11 MINERALS OF OREGON THET WOULD MAKB FIXE DISPLAY AT THE COMING PAIR. Mr. Flclc BecommcadK That Commit tee em Mines Get to Worlc - Early ob Collection. J. H. Flsk, the mineralogist, has made 'the following recommendation to C. B. Wade, David Raffety and F. "Williams, who compose the committee on mines and mining of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, In regard to an exhibit of Oregon miner als: "In compliance -with your request for euch Information as I may have .relating to the various metal-hearing ores and min erals of commercial product for the Lewis and Clark Exposition end Mineral Exposi tion at St. Louis, 1&04, and the necessary collection for the same, I beg to say that In addition to those various minerals men tioned in the circular sent me by David T. Day, geologist in charge of U. S. Geologi cal Survey and chief in charge of the iMln eral Department, St. Louis Exposition, which I filed with Secretary Reed, there are many other minerals in Oregon of a commercial Importance, worthy and I the phosphate of iron; it is pale blue In color; found in gray-wake both friable and crystallne. in beds of clay, often cavities of fossils; It is interesting to scientists and valuable only for phosphate- 1 "The platinum and titanic sands of Southern Oregon and the Jade stones lately discovered In that section should not be overlooked. "This list could be greatly extended, but it is sufficient to show what should be dons In making the collection. 2o collection of this nature has ever yet been made, and as there is now an opportunity for doing so, and funds for the purpose, I can see no reason why it should not be accomplished, and when our 1SG3 Fair is over they will form a good nucleus for a State Museum. "As for the St. Louis part of the collec tion, only three months of this year re main In which traveling In the mountains is feasible to make the collection. "In order to insure success, I would rec ommend that a thousand letters be sent out at once to all parts of the State, solic iting Information regarding the location of these minerals and commercial products, and Invited co-operation In their collection, and not pack them out of the mountains on snowshoes, as was done by the World's Fair Commission in Chicago in 1S93. "I have on my desk a small pamphlet Issued by the Illinois Central Railroad Company, entitled the 'Industrial Sites In Ten States.' A single page is devoted to each town, stating as follows: "Population, county debt, city debt, as sessed valuation of property, m tax rate, death rate per annum, number of banks.

Third and Morrison Sts. Ins "prill bo one o the fmportant events In the history of amusements in Portland. Lost year the park demonstrated that open-air vaudeville In thla city Is a par ing venture and tho handsome Summer theater at "Washington and Thirteenth streets has been practically rebuilt fqf the coming season. Great care has been exercised and a large sum of money ex pended to make the new park a pleasant place to spend a Summer's evening, and with the excellent attractions which, the THE STAGE AT SHIBMJS PARK. management promises there should be no question as to its popularity. The entrance this year Is on the Thlrteenth-3treet corner, and the beacon -which heralds the attractions -within may be seen for severa blocks. There Is a sub-legend painted on the wall -which announces that It Is "The Place "Which Made Portland Famous," but no reference is made to the industry from -which the catch line is paraphrased, for no drinks harder than, lemonade will be permitted within the ln closure. This rule -will be strictly en forced and Insures tho good order which -will be maintained. If - you have the price tonight you may get post the venerable gatekeeper and into a spacious enclosure having a roomy stage at the northeast corner, bounded on. three sides by an amphitheater, -which will comfortably seat 3200 people. The ground floor has been arranged on a gradual' In cline and the roomy balcony Is a succes sion of 14-lnch rises from the lowest to the topmost tier of seats. From any seat In the park one may have a good view of th6 stage, provided ho be not blind or blindfolded. The seats are. comfortable settees, they hive even been, called divans by those In authority, but they have good, high backs and one may sit through a performance without going home- with, that tired feeling- that one reads about. The earth has been overlaid by a generous layer of decomposed granite and miladl may wear slippers and keep her feet on the earth and suffer ho inconvenience from mud. Stately trees overhang the. loftiest seats In the balcony and one may sit amid the swaying branches and -the: rustling leaves, hear and see the young gentleman do a monologue stunt on the stage far below and mlos not a word or facial expression. Tucked away in a corner near the "Washington-street exit is a refreshment booth where cool things to eat and drink will be sold at -which the most temperate could not take umbrage. Speaking of exits there are plenty of means provided for emptying the place and one can take his choice of four -wide gates in the nnal "get away." There is a mysterious sub terranean tunnel which will greatly ex pedate handling the crowd as It can be reached by those In the balcony with out jostling the crowd- on the ground floor. The park -will be brilliantly illumin ated by myriad electric lights and a powerful calcium of three lights, each 2000 candle-power, -will play upon the stage from a tower in the center of the park. And the stage that is tlie triumph of the whole ensemble. It is roomy, mag nificently lighted and carefully furnished. Special scenery has been painted for it by Edward STagg. sceele artist e 3fe Vlckera' Chicago Theater, and none bet ter was ever shown in an outdoor play house. The olio-drop and settings are positively great and if the talent does not enthuse amid such surroundings, they certainly -will be "bad actors." If there has been anything left undone it is not apparent, and if the over-exacting are not satisfied they will be hard to please indeed. Those who find anything missing to complete their creature com fort will have to "ask the man." service., A number of applicants -were on hand to answer the quizzes, and the com mission -will probably meet Monday to pass on the papers.
