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

dertaking will require 176 miles of chain
work and will take until October to com

a Government surveyor In Oregon for 20
years, and he has left hie mark In every
county In the state.

TTweltug Freight - Agent Menzles, of

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

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."

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.
