Exposition went through with the sundry
Bupply hllL Telegraphic news to this
effect was received yesterday by Secretary
Beed.
This appropriation, which xras recently"
promised Special Commissioner Mclsaac,
will enable New York to put up an im

TO MAKE FINE CITY
Show Up the Bad Spots, Says
Expert Thomas.
STIR UP THE PUBLIC SPIRIT
Publicity Is Most Effective Means
Yet Adopted-What Has Been
Done In an Ohio
Town.
Stereoptlcon slides as a1 means of re
forming citizens who own ill-kept and
unsightly property are a howling success.
f
MANAGER OF THE PROGRESSIVE WORK OF THE
COMMERCIAL CLUB
TOM RICHARDS OX, FORMERLY OF NEW ORLEANS.
According to B. S. Thomas, the civic im
provement expert, a little timely pub
licity will bring the most recalcitrant
property-owner Into line. Yesterday af
ternoon Mr. Thomas explained the -system
which has made Dayton, Ohio, a city
of 125,000 Inhabitants without any great
natural or scenic advantages, one of the
most beautiful municipalities In America.
"How did you reach the Individual citi
zen?" asked a reporter. "If a man, for
example, ownea a lot which was un
sightly, cover.ed with refuse, tin cans or
something of that description, how did
you induce him to clean up?"
"Some of the civic Improvement asso
ciations had photographs," said Mr.
Thomas. "They would send a man out to
such a piece of property to photograph
it. Then they would make a lantern slide
of It and show It upon a screen at the
next meeting. The effect was startling.
Citizens who had stubbornly refused to
Improve the hideous defects of their prop
erty would rush to the association and
beg that the picture be not used any
more. If it was destroyed, they said,
they would at once remove the unsightly
PUPILS OF PUBLIC
o8
refuse, the tumble-down shacks or what
ever the objectionable thing might be."
"Didn't the assoclatlonmake a lot of
enemies as it went along?'
"Not so many," said Mr. Thomas. "You
see, public opinion was with it. I re
member one instance when a merchant
had a. hnee slen huncr outside his build
ing advertising his wares. It. was a dis-
ngurement to the whole neighborhood, put
.he steadfastly refused to listen to re
peated requests for Its removal. At last
the association photographed it and
showed the slide at the next meeting. It
made a tremendous hit, was loudly ap
plauded and the next morning the mer
chant agreed to remove it if the exhibi
tion of the picture were stopped."
Mr. Thomas Is a bitter foe of the bill
board. "I think the time will come."
said he, "when these advertising mon
strosities will be forbidden by law. It is
not defensible to blot out the beauties
of a landscape with soap and cigar ads."
Another method of arousing the. Interest
of the citizens at large in Dayton Is the
offering of prizes for the best-kept lawn
and similar results of Industry.
"These methods are most effective,"
said Mr, Thomas, "and they are applicable
In Portland or anywhere."
The civic beauty movement in Its pres
ent active form probably started at tha
great National cash register works in
Dayton. In 1S94 the company was hav
ing much trouble with Its registers.
Large numbers of the machines were be
ing returned by dissatisfied customers,
owing to faulty construction. The offi
cers of the corporation, Instead of quar
reling with the employes, adopted a some
what sensational course. 'They reduced
the working hours, Increased wages all
around, built better factories, established
libraries and many conveniences for the
employes, and about the same time the
faulty construction became a thing of
the past and no more cash registers wer-;
returned.
"Dayton at this time was not a pretty
town," said Mr. Thomas. "The part of
the city which surrounded our factory
was called 'Slldertown,' and its general
appearance can be judged from its name.
But since then many of the greatest
landscape architects of the country have
visited the place. Beautiful grounds have
been laid out, model buildings have .been
erected and the factory has been made
so famous for the modernity of its
methods and appointments that 50,000 per
sons visit It every year. John H. Patter
son, the president 01 the company, takes
the deepest Interest in all that pertains
SCHOOLS WHO WON
- oact'ateo oooo4
to the improvement t of aaaldnd, asi
among the uplifting factors we nvet
reckon tho beautifying of a man's en
vironments;, A lecture-room has ben
fitted up at the factory, where an aver
age of two lectures a day are given to
interested audiences."
"Who attends these lectures?" asked
the reporter. "Does the attendance' not
fall short after a While?"
"Not at aU," said Mr. Thomas. "The
various civic Improvement associations all
meet there, and out of the throngs of,
visitors a good attendance is always as
sured." The reporter asked why an Ohio cash
register company should burden Itself
with the .improvement of cities far re
moved from It.
"Does it pay?" he concluded.
"Everything we do pays," answered
Mr. Thomas. "It Is & cold business prop
osltlon with us. As far as the work In
Dayton goes it has paid well. We have
good employes, of high character, all
personally interested! in and attached to
the company. Our work has attracted
world-wide attention. Hundreds of other
corporations have begun the beautifying
of homely surroundings."
"Am.ong what class of people do you
find your best helpers?"
V'You may smile," said Mr. Thomas,
"but school children render us the most
valuable aid. I have talked to 29.000
children in Dayton and have seen an in
stantaneous effect. Children are easily
Interested and excellent workera. They
will plant vines to trail over ugly fences,
to climb lamp-posts, to ornament tele
graph poles. They enter into ae work
with enthusiasm."
Mr. Thomas has not been In Portland
previous to his present visit, and his im
pressions of what could be done here are
not very definite.
"I have not yet had tlmo to see much
of Portland," he said. "I drove out to
City Park this morning and I noticed
many places along the way where a
little effort would convert unsightly spots
into places of much attractiveness, and
I will try to make some suggestions in
my lecture tonight."

No one would ever suspect the Demo

the Prohibitionists. There Is as much
difference between a Democrat and a
Prohibitionist as there is between
whisky and water. But up in Columbia
County the Democrats have Indorsed
the Prohibitionist candidate for the
Legislature and adopted him. Of course,
very few Democrats will vote for him,
but Democrats will always make alli
ances with any organization if they
think it will bring votes. This is the

HUMANE SOCIETY PRIZES
VOTE FDR BUILDINGS
State Commissioners to Erect
Three More.
THE COST WILL BE $80,000
Structures Will Be Used for Livestock
and Machinery Exhibits and Fes
tival HalN'Two Appointments
Are Made.
From the $100,000 appropriated by the
state for the 'Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, a transfer of $30,000 additional from
the original apportionment was made to
the building fund by the State Commis
sion yesterday. This money, it the de
cision of the Stata Commission remains
unmolested, will go to the construction
of three additional buildings, one for the
exhibit of livestock, another for ma
chinery and a third for a reception or
festival apartment.
This expenditure will leave but $52,500
of the state's appropriation. That
amount wlji have to cover the cost of
building booths, assembling exhibits and
other expenses attendant upon complet
ing Oregon's heavy part of the great un
dertaking, ,
President Myers alone opposed the ap
propriation. The suggestion was made
by Commissioners Thomas and Albert,
and later was presented In the shape of
a motion. It was their view, a3 well as
that of Commissioners Richard Scott,
Raffety, Spencer and Young, that there
should be an adequate building in which
machinery manufacturers may exhibit
their products and also a building in
which to entertain notable visitors and
hold festivities, since the Festival Hall
already under process of construction is
to be devoted to exhibit purposes. The
needs of a livestock building were ad
mitted to be apparent, and there was no
discussion on this subject.
Mr. Myers in objecting to the additional
expenditure urged that there would not
be enough money left. He said that with
the cash that would be left on hand the
resources of the state could not be
properly presented. The money should
be used in showing up in the luiieat
possible manner the resources of the
state and every part and industry of the
state. According ,to his statement the
financial affairs of the commission at
the present time are:
Available cash for use at Exposi
tion $400,000
Appropriated to building fund 312.000
Already spent on buildings 230,000
Available It bulldng fund is in-
creased 52,500
Economy Results in Saving.
This showing was met with the state
ment that much money has been saved in
getting buildings erected for less than
the estimated cost, as stated in original
apportionments, and the saving la about
the same amount as Is now to be put Into
the three buildings pamed. Mr. Albert
said the need of three buildings was ap
parent, and that the balance would be
entirely adequate for the purposes for
which it was Intended. When the ques
tion was put to a vote President flyers
raised the one dissenting voice, and the
motion was declared passed.
"I shall continue to think that it Is
unwise to put so much money Into those
three buildings," said Mr. Myers, In dis
cussing the matter afterwards. "There
are so many exhibits that must be ar
ranged for, and their cost is so large that
I cannot see how the trifling sum of $52,500
can cover the cost The cost of con
structing boothi? will be at least $10,000,
and then every exhibit will cost consider
able. The sum of $10,000 could easily be
spent on such exhibits as the raining' ex
hibit and the educational exhibit. I be
lieve that the money we will put Into a
building for Eastern machinery builders
should be spent on showing up the state
to better advantage. Unless we are care
ful many of the state's exhibits will be
dependant upon popular subscription and
commercial organizations."
Junket to St. Louie,
Plans for the Oregon day at St. Louis
were discussed and considered with a
view to eliciting a good scheme of enter
tainment and reception on the occasion
of the state building opening. It was
finally decided that such of the commis
sioners as wish may make the trip, hav
ing their expenses paid during their stay.
Those who go will leave early in the
middle of June. Mr. Myers was dele
gated to go earlier In order to make ar
rangements for the opening exercises.
Refreshments are to be served and suita
