At this svening's meeting of the Board of Trade, the main, business . devoted to will be the Question Of a better perma nent exhibit for Portland, to be located at Ue Valea, depot. , " ," ' A GOOD SCHEME Portland Haa Sti&csU Kovd En tertainment for the Summer. ALL KINDS OF HORSE RACES Bkjrcle and Running Races, Leap ing Contests,Military Drills, ttc. A resident of this city, who has only the friendliest of feeling for Portland, makes a very pertinent suggestion. In speaking with The Journal. he said: "There Is no use of denying the fact for it is evident. In the summertims Portland gets very dull. To be sure there are a number who can go to. the mountains or the seashore for recrea tion, but there must ever remain be hind those who cannot ao these things, and they make up the great majority. 1 have been thinking of a plan that may serve to amuse the public. It la not a new idea, but its application here is new: "In some of the Eastern cltles-La Crosse, Wis., for example, the plan ha been tried and resulted in remarkable success. I would simply transplant tbe idea to Portland, and can see no reason Why it should not work well. I refer to evening entertainments for the' public At La Crosse the race tracks were wired for electric lights, and races were held. It was accorded universal praise. V Per sons who never were able to go tt races held in the daytime patronized the insti tution, and it grew apace. "My Idea and I would really like to see some of those who take an Interest in nch' thinss Dush. the project would be to erect posts and Install an incandescent electric ngni circuit aruunu mo course at the Irvlngton tracks. Then the street railway company might make a round trip rate, Including admission, of 25 cents. "I would not confine these evening en. tertainments to horse racing alone. One night there might be a trotting and a pacing race open to -local horses; the next night prises might be hung up for winners of Hunt Club events; another night might be devoted to bi cycle races, running races between men, etc. Leaping contests might also be in cluded, and military drills, mimic bat tles and all that sort of thing could oe introduced to advantage. I would like to see the young men and women of Port and who like clean sport take hold of this Idea. I. would not have any liquors sold on the grounds. "It Is not at all unlikely but that the street railway company would co-operate. If some such course as I have suggested could be carried out Portland would not be counted any longer as 'a dead one.' The story would be printed far and wide, ana It would not be a bad advertisement for the town. The Idea should be made a permanent one, and the open amuse ment should be a regular feature even ings every summer." TRINITY CHURCH Will Continue to Use Bishop Scott Armory to Worship in. The directors of the Bishop Scott Academy hopes to seoure the removal to Its grounds of the building now- at the corner of Twenty-second and Everett streets, formerly used by the Boys' Bri gade. The cost of making this change Is estimated at between $600 and $1000. The vestry of Trinity church decided to retain the armory building on the Academy grounds for church purposes, and this makes the acquisition of another build ing as quarters for the students, impera tive, ' This arrangement, however, is not nec essarily a permanent one. The armory will be utilised for services until the point Is finally settled as to whether the old church building at Sixth and Oak streets is to be rebuilt or whether the property is to be sold. The latter was recently valued at $75,000 but has now been placed at $70,000, with the hope of hastening a sale. The proceeds would be used to erect a new church building on the Washington-street site owned by the church. NO LONGER LINGERS. There was a cloud of uneasiness that hovered recently over the ranks of the local fire Insurance men. It wai whis pered that an Interloper had crept into this community and was soliciting risks for an organization that was not Incor porated, registered or licensed- to do busi ness In Oregon. Trie air was blue with imprecation and Insurance' men were get ting ready to put on their armour and go forth to smite the Philistine that had crept Into their preserves. The stranger who represented the company known as the "Indemnity Exchange," smelled the battle that was coming, and skipped out. There was no "Indemnity" for him around this city and he floated away on the breath of the morning. TROUBLE OVER OREGON EXHIBIT The remains of the Oregon exhibits at Buffalo and Charleston have not as yet been placed In the permanent exhibit, 244 Washington street, as they are In tha hands of the railroads. The story ot the travels of the exhibits is one long list of railroad carelessness. x It was arra Aged with the railroad com panies that the exhibits were to be taken East and returned for the regular freight charge one way.' 'There are 10 cars In ajl, of these seven went East and three have returned. The three got switched off from the Northwestern line on which they travel and went to" St Paul Snd then to fepoksne over the Great Northern: - The railroads then sent la a bill (or $900 freight charges, which has now narrowed down to $250, the, bill of the ureat Northern. The O. R. III. Company has kindly un dertaken to usslmllftte the charges. Tbe exhibits are a storage pending 'settle ment. 1 For the past three weeks there has been scrubbing and scraping at the permanent exhibit rooms, just for tbe purpose of hating everything ready for the other oxhiblts. The supply of exhibits brought home is so large that another place equally as large can be MJted up as an other place of exhibition for Oregon's products.. TO BUILD EXTENSION Riparia-Lewiston Contract Is Let for $800,000. i The Rlparia-Lewlstpn extension of the O. R. & N. Company on the north bank of the Snake River has been awarded to Wrert & Greenough for construction. This will be Tl miles In length, will be com pleted by April 15 of next year, and will cost $300,000. J. Q. Jamleson, who will be stationed at Almota, will have general supervision of the work of construction and eight crews of men are aready in the field to begin operations. At Lewiston the principal lurldge will be built. This will be 1000 ft.-et long and will be of steel, with concrete masonry abut ments and piers, and will cost $350,000. It will be 100 feet long. When the roadbed is complete the O. R. N. Company will lay its own tracks. This is the line which the Northern Paelllc and the O. It. & N. Company will use Jointly, erabling the former to iini Its trains through to Wallula' Junction. SHIELDS' GOOD SHOW. The program for the week at Shields' Park Is the best yet arranged by Man ager Shields. The polyscope view of peo ple leaving Baker's theater on Sunday afternoon, was particularly excellent, and the huge crowd that attended the Park last night were unanimous in their praise of everything on the bill. The pictures ot McKlniey just previous to his assasiiri atlon at liuffalo, "The Prodigal Son," ami others, were enthusiastically greeted. Demontrello, the sensational barrel jumper, was again on duty, but In- at tempting to leap Into a barrel on a table while blind-folded, he suffered two falls, but was uninjured. Ills work is marvel ous. The LamontB, man and woman, do the cleverest acrobatlo turn yet seen at the Park. They made big hit. Dorothy Iene appeared in vocal selec tions, and her "The Pride of Newspaper How," prcved to be especially acceptable. The comedy sketch artists, the Lawrences, made a hit. The Duffy children proved as charming as ever and Joseph Thomp son sang several new selections. O'Leary and Fay made a special appearance, and showed they were still great favorlte3. THE SAME OLD GAME. Those who think that there Is no open gambling in Portland are laboring under an hallucination. This will be proved to them if they take a stroll down to the corner of Front and Salmon streets. At that place a prosperous looking fakir 's conducting a gambling joint right on the street, and with his cracked voice raised to a high pitch tells the paslng pedes trians all about it. He has a large wheel' about three feet In diameter which is so arranged as to revolve on a pivot. Just outside of its turning course appear numbers on which are placed cheap jewelry and money of various denominations. The player chooses his number, puts down his coin, and if the wheel stops at that point hs wins the amount which the number des ignates. It Is possible for a winner to make as high as $5 at a turn of the wheel. He can lose all his earnings, if he stays with the game long enough. From the looks of the "pile" which the fakir has. in sight, the plyers generlly lose. SISTERS DISPUTE. In the County Court Saturday Mrs. Vir ginia Rust Humphrey filed a protest against the allowance of a claim for $lft9 of Josephine H. Booth, her sister, against the estate of their mother, Mary Re becca Rust, deceased. Mrs. Humphrey denies most emphatically that the estate is Indebted to her sister tn any sum whatever, but Instead asserts that- Mrs. Booth Is herself largely the debtor, of the estate. Time for hearing of the protest has not been set. . F. K. Arnold has been appointed ad ministrator and George Clark, James P. Shaw and A. L. Maxwell appraisers of the estate of Charles Kennedy, deceased. iBIG SURVEYING CONTRACT. A contract has been awarded to H. C. Perkins, of Grants Pass, to survey six townships on the line, of the OregonX!en tral Military Wagon Road grant. H Is now in the city getting together his party of surveyors seven men in all. The un dertaking will require 176 miles of chain work and will take until October to com plete. Mir. Perkins has been employed as a Government surveyor In Oregon for 20 years, and he has left hie mark In every county In the state. A WHEEL STOLEN. A very valuable blcyole belonging to W. W. Bolen was stolen from the dock at the foot of Washington street Mr. Boi len is purser on the steamer Dixon and was on his regular trip down the river Lwhen tbe theft occurred. As had been his custom he left the wheel chained and locked to a post during his absence. When he returned the bike, chain and lock had all disappeared. The police are now In swurch of the missing property. PAH) THE DAMAGES.

At the present high prices for the latter commodity, the far mers will be able to supervise the har vesting of their crops next year in auto- Mr. Phallon left Saturday night for Long Beach, to spend Sunday with his family, which is passing the summer at the family cottage. CITY LUMBER SHIPMENTS. TTweltug Freight - Agent Menzles, of the Rock Island, has' returned from the Gray's Harbor country. He Informs The Journal that the sawmills there are ship ping out an immense lot of lumber this summer. "At Hoqulam," said Mr. Men ziea, "1 saw ten solid cars in one con signment destined for an Eimtern point. The sawmills in that section are running night and day to kel up with their orders. "While at Hoqulam I met Dr. Andrew C. Smith and Dr. Hutchinson, of Port land, who were called there t assist a brother physician. He was afflicted wh poison oak. They did all they could to save him, but, after matting a gallant light, he succumbed. ' SALMON FOK THE EAST. "I don't believe I ever saw so many salmon together at one time as there are now at Astoria." declared General Agent Slsler, of the Omaha, who has just returned from the City by the Sea. He saw soven cars of pickled and frozen salmon pull out from there In one truin. "Some of these," said Mr. Slsler. "were destined for New York and other Kast ern points. The remainder was sent to Germany. The Humburg market takes a great deal of salmon, which Is sent there In u frozen state. It Is tlrst frozen and then wrapped In several thicknesses of wazed paper. It Is placed In a refriger ator car and at New York is put Into re frigeration on board the vessel. It re quires about 14 days for the consign ments to reach New Yu-U. and about six days later It is laid down In Hamburg. "Astoria is forging to the f rout rap idly. George W. Hume, the San Fran cisco millionaire, has ordered a complete sawmill outfit to be placed there, which will equal anything now on the grounds." RAILROAD NOTES. E. L. Rayburn, traveling passenner agent of the Northern Pacific, departed yesterday for a two-weeks' vacation trip in the mountains.

Livingston, traveling freight nent of the Northern Pacific at Spokane, Is in the city. E. A. Abbott whose home is at Ashland, was in Portland Saturday. For several years he has been connected with the auditing department of the Spokane .'tl!a & Northern. He has severed his connec tions at Spokane and will spend his vaca tion at home. It is his purpose to attend the University of Oregon, beginning this coming fall. OH. FOR STEAMBOATS. Steamboat owners are considering the advisability of using oil on their boats as fuel Instead of wood. The change is be ing contemplated on account of the sav ing that would be made. Wood costs from $2.60 to $2.75 per cord and oil $1 per barrel. It Is estimated that a barret of oil, as fuel, will go as far as one-half cord of wood. Besides it can be handled much more cheaply and would not cause the delays that are made necessary in load ing wood. The Vulcan expects to be equipped With oil-burners within three weeks, and many believe before the ex piration of three years fully two-thirds of the boats on the rivers will be using oil as a fuel. .COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY.
