membership now being 40. although It
1 but seven years since It was organ

Henry Ach. mho defended Abe Ftuef.
In San Francisco, and Henry Hartman.
State Senator, who waa active in hav
ing passed the $5,000,000 appropriation
bill for the world's fair In San Fran
cisco In 1915. have been spending the
last few days In Portland. Attorney
Ach was reared In Portland and was
first admitted to the bar In this city.
He went to San Francisco In 187.
"This Is the first time I have been In
Portland In II years. said Mr. Ach at
the Portland Hotel yesterday, "and I
must say the change Is marvelous. My
visit here Is like an awakening of Rip
Van Winkle. All I can say of Portland
Is that lt Is marvelous. Something al
ways happened when I wanted to come
to Portland until this trip. I am Just
here to visit and meet old friends.
When I left Portland I knew everybody
In the city: now I recognize no one on
the streets."
Senator Hartman. who Is so Imbued
with the world's fair that he thinks of
little else, said:
'You can depend upon it that Sun
Francisco will get the world's fair. The
only question Is whether or not we ran
convince the Congressmen east of the
Mlsstsslpupl River, who are in the ma
jority, to vote in favor of San Fran
cisco instead' of the South. New Or
leans is still more than $1,000,000 In
debt, to the Government from Its last
fair. New Orleans has subscribed
600.000 for the fair in 1916. Residents
of San Francisco have subscribed $7,
500.000. and the State Legislature has
voted to issue bonds for 13. 000.000. In
addition to that. San Francisco will
amend her charter so that t.000.000 In
bonds may be voted by the city, making
a total of I17.50n.iioo. We propose to
do this before Congress convenes and
go to Washington in December with
this magnificent showing as an induce
ment to Eastern Congressmen to vote
in favor of San Francisco."

scout, and the gallant Custer's oft-time
comrade on the trail and hunt. In the
thrilling days of the frontier Buffalo
BUI comes to say goodbye, tie- cele
brates the occasion by giving an ex
hibition that Includes all his old-time,
primitive rough riding associates, com
bined with Major Gordon Lillle's "Far
East." with appropriate representa
tives from the Orient, natives of every
section, of the other side of the world.
In action, thus giving . something un
usually comprehensive In - character.
Colonel Cody, In making a parting
tour to the many cities and towns that
he has entertained so often, intends to
retire to the foot of the Rocky Moun
tains under the shadow of the peaks
of the picturesque wonderland of
America, Yellowstone Park once the
Far West, the theater of his story, now
the home i prosperity, peace and
plenty.
A most important amusement alli
ance as well as a companion study of
mankind was made in the union of the
forces under Buffalo Bill and Major
Lillie (Pawnee Bill). Both exhibitions
appear in the same arena, give all the
old and a score of new attractions and
features. One hundred redmen from
the laidian reservations, old-time cow
boys and ranch girls. United States
cavalry and artillery, appear, together
with strange anthropological specimens
from the Indian Ocean. Abyslnnia,
Maori Islands. Persia, Afghanistan. Ma
laysia, Morocco. In fact, from every cor
ner of the earth. Some striking features
are groups of Japanese. Australian busli
men. Russian peasant dancers, black

camels and dromedaries of the desert,
musically trained elephants, Ceylonese.

bats; while' East Indian fire worshipers
and Russian Cossacks add to the extra

The Western scenes and battles repre
sent actual episodes in Buffalo Bill's
career. His shooting from horseback in
those days was a necessary accomplish
ment to a successful hunter and scout.

and Captain Develln's Zouaves furnish
incentive to patriotic youth to emulate
their efficiency and training when the
Nation should need "men behind the
guns."

ious customs, national festivities, tribal
observances. In fact, everything that can
throw a light on the diversity and com

everything heretofore presented of natu
ral expertness In that line, including
