School Superintendent Lyman yes
terday received a letter from Professor
Landers, of The Dalles public school,
who la at St Louis as assistant super
intendent of the Oregon educational
exhibit during the absence of Profes
sor Lyman. Professor Landers states
that the attendance at the fair Is Im
proving wonderfully, and the week
preceding It had averaged 111,000 a
day. Thl average was maintained
during the hottest nerlod of Auirunt.
, '
.and the outlook for September and Oc
tober, the really enjoyable months at
St. Louis, Is highly encouraging. Pro
fessor lenders adds that much de
scriptive matter Is being given out at
the Oregon educational booth, and that
the number of pnmphlets distributed
Is greatly in excess of the number of
registrations. When Professor Lyman
was at St. Louis the registrations were
about one-flfth of the number of vis
itors. There Is a large quantity of
Astoria matter at the educational booth
and it Is evident from Professor Lan
ders' letter that some desirable adver
tising Im being done.
A dispatch from Washington says:
Edward M. Lazarus, superintendent of
construction, and In charge of the re
modeling of the Portland postoffice,
has resigned his position In the gov
ernment service to take effect uoon
the appointment of his successor. Dur
ing his May In Portland Mr. Lazarus
has done a great deal of private ar
chitectural work. This Is contrary to
the recent regulations of the treasury
department, which prohibits govern
ment employe doing outside work dur
ing office hours. To remove Mr. La
jsuru from his Held of activity, the de
partment ordered him to St. Jjoaeph,
Mo., but this transfer was declined.
Mr. Lazarus promptly tendered his
resignation, saying his private work
would not Justify him leaving Port
land. His successor hag hot yet been
selected. Whoever It is will have
charge of the construction of the gov
ernment buildings at the Lewis and
Clark exposition around when that
- -
wor ix undertaken In the fall.
The stranger Would never have
guessed that It was Harvey W. Scott,
late president of the Lewis and Clark
fair corporation and editor of the Ore
Vonlan, who sauntered from a nearby
lunch counter to the Portland train
last night. Mr. Scott had Just arrived
from Seaside. He evidently had not
eaten anything before leaving the
beach, so when the Seaside train ar
rived ahouf J: 30 the editor rushed to
the lunch counter, Fearful that the
train might depart without him, Mr.
Scott grabbed a sandwich, and as he
walked back toward the depot he
munched the sandwich with seeming
rellsht Mr. Scott wore hi rntnmUrv
black suit and slouch hat. and hi
general appearance denoted charming
disregard for the dignity which tte
would suppose great men maiftta'ih at
all times. Friends stopped the" editor
to greet him, but he munched on, re
maraing mat a sandwich In hand was
worth a dozen in the restaurant. Mr.
Scott has been at the beach for a few
days. He Is looking well and his health
Is excellent. . . i
