anias and Columbia counties, a special
committee of five was selected last
nunt at a meeting of the three County
Central Committees executive boards.
The special committee will report back
Tuesday evening.
When the meetlna- was called to or
der there was a strong- sentiment for
Ir. Andrew C. Smith for the place.
Howevar. as Dr. Smith had not been
fcvmally consulted no aetior -vr.i taken
o.. his name. Clyde G. " ntley. of
Clackrras; F. E. Beach. . .ultnomah,
and E. W". Conyers. of Ccmbla, were
also suggested, but there was no way
tf ascertaining whether any of the
men would make the race. . v
v Choice Is Among Four.
For that reason tre special committee
was named. This committee will can
vass the field thoroughly and Is au
thorized to wait upon the four men
or upon any other who may appear as
a formidable opponent to Pan J. Ma
larkey. the anti-assembly candidate.
The committee Is made up of Judge M.
C. George. A. H. Manley. McXInley
Mitchell. J. H. Gibson. J. F. Clark and
C. If. Frldman.
Columbia County was not repre
sented. Two committeemen were on
band from Clackamas. Messrs. Gibson
and Clark. They suggested the nsme
of Mr. Huntley, explaining that ha has
a wide following, although he Is not
a fluent speaker. The name of Dr.
Smith, when brought up. was generally
approved of. the Idea prevailing that
he would add strength of a substantial
order to tne whole ticket. However,
as formal action was to be deferred
nntll Tuesday, the committees decided
that It would be Inexpedient to fix on
any one man. So the committee was
given the full field from which to make
lis recommendations.
Connell Declines to Ron.
The name of Bamuel Connell was not
placed In nomination. A communica
tion was received from Mr. Connell an
nouncing that he could not make the
race. His letter follows:

I thank my friends again for their con

At the meeting or Tuesday night It Is
desired that a full attendance of com

that Columbia County have a representa

AIDED most materially by the "Live
Wires." by the Indefatigable ef
forts of President Marls and Secre
tary Welch, as well aa the rank and tile
of the admirers of the harness horse
races, the plans for the coming Portland
Fair and llvcetocX show ure well under
war.
Te guteg of the track at Rose City
Park will be formally thrown open on
Monday. September 6, Just two- weeks
from tomorrow, and when the event takes
place, ths greatest race meeting and
stock show in the history of the North
western circuit will have commenced.
But lew minor details remain to be pro
vided for In the preliminary arrange
ments, and all of those interested in the
coming festival are sparing no effort to
11 the success the enterprise de-
"From 'silver the Northwest Inquiries
are pourtng In from persons desiring to
learn of the attractions as well as the
method, required for the ntering ot
slock exhibit, and the accommodations
provided for the housing of man and
beset at the fair grounds. As the plant
of the Portlond Fair and Livestock As
dotation 1. the larg-st in the -Nthwest.
"his detail Is on of the few that will
need no additional work or cause worry
on the part ..f the promote.
Stsbles for the race horses as well as
the other Wooded stock are believed
amply sufficient to sccommodate ail at
entries, though this y.ar there w.ll
be few vacant stalls because of the In
creased entry lists In both departments.
In referring to the approaching opening
of the show President Msrls yesterday
"H Is gratifying In the extreme to ere
how the cltlsens of Portland are r-JUIng
to ihe support of their fair and are ex
pressing In a substantial wsy their ap
preciation of what a few public-spirited
rersons have done, without hope of finan
cial gain, to provide one of the most
attractive places for entertainment, edu
cation and amusement of which sny city
In the world can boast. The Portland
fair Is a public Institution established
and perpetuated without the Idea of any
gain other than that which may accrue
to the city and country- The objects of
the fair are multitudinous, but the prime
oWx-t Is to encourage and stimulate the
breeding of more end better livestock
matter of vital Importance to our city.
Portland Is the natural outlet and
market point for one of the finest stock
raising districts In the whole country, but
we are not raising enough meat animals
to anywhere near rupply the demand.
Our big packing p'snts which are reach
ing oct snd establishing markets for
more meat must go beyoiid the Rockies
- . . - "sev " .fwwjp--o -v.' s teUn
for much of their supply, not only for
the foreign trade they are building up,
but for much of the meat with which to
feed our own city. No other factor Is
so prolific of results In the betterment
of livestock conditions as the fair and
livestock show. Formerly the 4-year-old
steer was rounded up and sent to market
over the scales at around a thousand
pounds. Today the well-bred long year
ling goes to market weighing liWO to 130
pounds. He is wintered one Winter and
his little scrub 4-year-old cousin ate hay
from his master's haystack four Win
ters before lie was ready for market.
The stock show is largely responsible
for bringing about this change, and it
means much to Portland and tributary
country. When our livestock Is properly
improved and we are producing what we
ought to produce, the volume of business
passing through the clearing-house from
our stockyards will amount to more than
that from any other three Industries
combined.
"The Portland Fair was established pri
marily to stimulate this very Important
Industry and Incidentally to provide, not
only an educational institution, but a
great playground and an annual enter
tainment feature such as every city of
any Importance maintains.
"The support of such a proposition Is
well worthy the effort of the 'Cive
Wires and it Is imminently proper
that this new and highly electrified or
ganisation should make its first charge
In Its behalf. A "Live Wire." literally in
terpreted, means a vigorous supporter
of every worthy cause for the advance
ment of the city's welfare. It Is "public
philanthropy personified and the way the
fort land "Livs Wires' have sacrificed
time and energy for the success of the
fair is worthy the highest possible com
mendation and la most heartily appreci
ated by the officers and directors of the
fair association. Their methods have
been unique, to es the least, snd, while
they have procured a handsome sum of
money, they have done far more for the
fair by the splendid publicity they have
given It. They have brought the fair to
the attention of the people and filled the
air with 'fair spirit' to the extent that
when the gates are thrown open Mon
day, September i. there will be the larg
est crowd at the grounds to s?e the
splendid attractions provided that, has
ever been gathered In the city on such
an occasion. And they will not be dis
appointed, for they will be greeted with
something worth seeing.
"A grand parade of the finest stock on
the Pacific Coast will follow the formal
opening by the Governor of the state and
the Msyor of the city. Then will come
horse racing of grand circuit character
on the fastest racecourse west of the
Mississippi River. Between heats the
time will be closely occupied by special
features such as we have never before
seen at an Oregon fair.
"It Is extremely opportune that the
Portland fair is the first on the circuit
and opens on Labor day, Monday, Sep
tember 5. when all business will he
closed and everybody will have an op
portunity to go. The crowd on that day
Is expected to tax the capacity of the
grounds, but with a free seating privi
lege of f0fi people and additional ca
pacity of 4000 In the grandstand, we hope
to make the big crowd quite comfort
able and the programme will be pulled
oft on time, according to schedule."
Among the Portland business men
who are enthusiastic boosters of the
livestock end of the show are Mayor
Joseph Simon, William McMurray, Ju
lius L. Meier. H. C. Campbell. Dr. Em
mett Drake. C. C. Chapman. Adolfe
Wolfe,-O. M. Plummer. C. K. Henry, S.,
G. Reed, Chris Mlnslnger and many
others. These men realize that the
livestock lnd-ustry Is one that Is in
need of Impetus In this state, for the
biggest portion of the meats consumed
here at present is imported from other
states. This is due principally to the
rapid growth of this portion of the
country, and by stimulating this indus
try by means of these annual fairs and
livestock expositions, It is hoped to
Increase the stock-raising Industry to
considerably larger proportions than at
present exist in the Northwest.
See the Portland Fair First." Is the
battle cry of the boosters of the "Har
vest Festival." and already the slogan
is being echoed through the Northwest.
The vaudeville features of the coming
fair will be worth the price of admis
sion alone, for the very best attrac
tions possible to secure have been en
gaged for this week of racing and
stock showing.
F. I. Fuller, of the Portland Railway.
Light & Power Company, has assured
the committee that the company will
make every effort to establish quick car
service to and from the fair grounds
during that week. Already the line is
being double-tracked to the Sandy road,
and this will add greatly to the trav
eling facilities In that direction.
The streets on the East Side leading
to the fair grounds have been paved
to a marked degree. Those contemplat
ing a visit to the racetrack, and wish
to drive or motor there, will find a
hard-surface pavement and oiled road
ways all the way by driving out Broad
way to the Sandy road, which is piled
from the intersection to the grounds.
This route affords a dustless patb to
the grounds, and is a most enjoyable
drive.

Steamship Firm Has Lost Some

If a rate war' is precipitated on the

of the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company having Invaded the terri

be due to the pioneer on that run, the

said Mr. Doe. "We intend to keep going
in the same way as in the past, have In
contemplation no changes and have no
complaint to make."
In speaking of the Humboldt Bay run,
Mr. Doe said that the steamer Eureka
would be continued on the same schedule
and that he did not anticipate substituting
another vessel. "The Eureka, while not
to be compared with the ocean grey
hounds in speed. Id without doubt as good
a seaboat as -there Is on the Pacific. She
Is of the wooden hull pattern, of course,
but Is well fitted for the route. To In
crease her speed with larger engines
would mean tho dimintehment of her
cargo space, and that would not be prollt
ple. Business northbound is by no means
avy. and as we have to depend on
outhbound offerings, the steamer is hot

Late Compilation by "Skipper" of
Breakwater Is Made Public.
Latest from the poetic pen of Captain
T. J. Macgenn, master of the steamer
Breakwater, is a diesertat.on on virtue,
which he compiled on the last voyage of
the craft from Coos Bay, being inspired
by the solace of the sea as his elnp
i,- v..,- -ot-av thmueh dense fog
banks toward the mighty Columbia.
The result Is nere reprouuutu.
Virtue is the companion of love.
Its friendship is superlative.
It walks in the gardens amidst the most
perfumed flowers, linked arm-in-arm wltn
true manhood.
It ir hales the pure. .,hi.
It dwells in the mansion. In the Jumble
cot. and in the temple of the gods and
after death is carried on a chariot of fame
to the tombs of the great, mourned by
simplicity and nobleness.'
Speicr Worsted by Japanese English.
Harbormaster Speier is planning to
delve into the intricate study of Jap
anese, following an experience yester
day with the first officer of the steamer
Otaru Maru No. 2. who prides himself
on being the only member of that
craft's company who has mastered Eng
lish, and on being instructed to plaae
rat guards on the ship's lines, produced
a can of black paint and proposed that
the lines be daubed with that as a warn
ing to rodents not to go ashore. The
head of the narDor ponce uura
.self hoarse in an endeavor to explain
that the guards should be of metal, and
then appealed to the Japanese Consul
to make his meaning clear.
Pilot Commission Makes Report.
Data covering the year's work of the
State Pilot Commission were yesterday
forwarded to Salem by Commissioner
Fred Hagemann. The Commission has
ordered repairs on the -pilot schooner
San Jose, which are being made by
Robert Mcintosh. In a few days the
schooner will be painted. Though the
San Jose is of use only in case of emer
gency, such as would exist if the Jos
eph Pulitzer had to leave her station
off the bar, the Commission has no
authority to sell her. There Is an an
nual appropriation available for her
maintenance, but there are no pros
pects of her going into service.
Plan to Extend Willamette Service.
If further delays are not encountered
the steamer Oregona will depart from
Portland August 29, on a resumption
of operations on the Willamette south
as far as Dayton. Captain Kaabe, her
master yesterday returned from an in
spection of the stream and he believes
she can pass the bar at Ash Is'and
with a part cargo. It was reported
that the river gauge at Salem showed
the stage of the stream to be five-tenths
of a foot below zero, the lowest in the
history of steamboating.

SEWER BONDS DEFEATED
Only 108 Vancouver Voters Record
themselves for Proposition.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 20. (Spe
cial ) At a special election held today,
the proposition of bonding the city, for
140,000, with which to build a
sewer system in the northwestern part
of the city, was defeated, the vote
being 108 for and 340 against, making
a majority of 232.
The question of ratifying the plan
for the sewer was defeated, the vote
being 99 for and 349, against, making
a majority of 250 against.
Mayor Klggins is pleased with the
result, as-he has not favored the ques
tion. He is working towards getting
a municipal water system and he thinks
that money spent on a sewer system
would be taken away from that re
quired to build a water system.
