tie wus known of the Lewis and Clark
fair in the east, and states that the fair
needs considerable advertising. He

Indication that the railroads will grant
lumbermen of the west an equitable
shipping rate which will open the east

greatly stimulate the business. He
says that immigration is extending
westward and that the coming of an
other year will see hundreds of families
taking up their residence in the west

Cheif of Police Hallook yesterday
undertook to arrest a Seaside logger
whose first name Is Louie and whose
appetite for boose exceeds his pur
chasing capacity. Louie makes It a
habit to come tp the city from the for
est primeval and here to approach al
most anyone and ask small donations
that he may purchase a pair of shoes
or a piano. Yesterday Louie arrived
In the city and ere long his Blender
capital had been exchanged for that
cheering beverege which his sentimen
tal soul craved. Being bust he tried
Commercial street and dropped into
Will Madison's store. The chief hap
pened along and acquainted Louie
with the fact that It was up to him
to go to tha city jail. Everything went
well until Louie ' reached the middle
of the street, where he jumped into the
a If and came down heavily upon his
logger's corks. The corks were driven
firmly Into the planking, and when
Louie bowed his legs the chief was up
against it He tried pulling and push
ing, but It Was of no avail; Louie was
a fixture. Hatlock looked around Im
ploringly at the crowd that was en
joying the fun and gazed down the
street to see if a police officer was In
sight Iem Howes went to the as
sistance of the chief and In a moment
Louie had lost bis footing. He then
walked to jail as meekly as a lamb,
and when the effects of bis time have
passed he will be permitted to return
to the summer resort
At least one of the visiting Odd Fel
lows knows how it feels to have the
salmon-Infested waters of the Columbia
close over his head and threaten him
with a watery grave. Moreover he can
tell the peculiar taate of the mud at
the bottom of that particular part of
the stream at the foot of Thirteenth
street. But he Is not telling It. At
an early hour yesterday afternoon a
group of delegates wandered to the
docks In pursuit of local color. While
examining the state of the piling one of
the visitors leaned a trifle too far over
the edge of the dock and was precipi
tated within a moment into the water
below. He waa a portly gentleman and
made a great splash. He emerged from
his bath like a water spaniel, betrayed
Into the depths of a stagnant pool, and
gave vent to muttering that caused
the ladles of the party to beat a hasty
retreat Rumor whispers that the dele
gate was from Salem and that a sud
den push from the toe of an envious
brother caused the catastrophe.
The Regatta
Fund Crowing
Commjttee Has Already Raised
$3000 and Will Add Another
$1000 to It in a Few Days.
When Mr. Wise' and his fellow re
gatta finance committeemen yesterday
figured up their accounts with the
general public, they had more money
then one could conveniently shake
stick at. They had met with all kinds.
of glorious success, and at the end of
tjielr hard day had about 33000 to
show for It.
"Why, It's Just like shooting fish!"
exclaimed Mr. Wise, when a reporter
hunted him up and asked what was
doing In the regatta line. "Talk about
interest! Why, that's all we have en
countered since taking up the work
which the Push Club cut out for us.
Everybody wants the regatta and, ex
cept In one or two cases, subscribed
with unequaJed liberality.
"Let me explain It to you, contin
ued the head of the hustling commit
tee. "We have been to see nearly all
of the merchants. Perhaps half a dozen
are yet to be called upon. From the
men we have seen we have received
more than w'aa ever before directly
contributed for -the water carnival-
just about $3000. Perhaps I'm mis
taken, but It seems to me that's goln,"
some. We have $3000 In our inside
pocket right now, and we haven't in
terviewed the transportation compa
nies, any of the outside houses that
always contribute nor the breweries.
"Never fear, we'll have our $4000.
With that sum the managing commit
tee will be given the best start any
committee haa ever received, and the
success of the carnival will be as
sured. Heretofore, let me remind .you,
the managing committee has always
collected Its own funds, but this year
that work will be done beforehand.)
It's going to make matters much eas
ier for the committee and leaves the
way clear for a better celebration in
every respect All of the members of
the finance committee are Uckled to
death with the success of our canvass,
for we are going to make the record
report to the Push Club."
By far the greatest portion of the
regatta fund has heretofore come from
the queen contest and concessions. The
committee, this year will have $1000
the best of previous committees and
there will therefore be no difficulty in
getting men to serve. The enthusiasm
which has been shown by the business
men indicates the general desire to
hold the regatta and reflects as well
the prosperous condition of the city's
trade. The committee expects to fin
ish its work in a short time, or as
soon as 'replies can be received from
the transportation companies. When
It reports to the Push Club the manag
ing committee will be named and prep
arations at once begun for the Car
nival. The list of subscribers has not
yet been made public. j
