The reduction of Democratic politics
to an exact science Is not peculiar to the
United States. . From the pages of
"V. C." we cull the following story: In
a rural Scottish district there was an
election meeting some time ago. 'Owing
to the absence of the laird a local
farmer was voted to the chair. He ad
dressed the meeting as follows:

Portland cats of the Concatenated Or

Yamhill streets, on the evening of Au

some 30 or 40 kittens Into the local
lodge.
To those who do not know what Con
catenated Order of Hoo-Hoo means, or
do not understand the term concatena
tion, explanations are duo.
The Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo
Is a secret society composed of lumber
men and those directly connected with
the manufacture and sale of lumber. In
cluding, under certain conditions, rail
road and newspaper men. The order
has been ln existence a number of
years throughout the United States,
and Its membership numbers Into tho
thousands. Its objects are the promo
tion of trade Interests and sociability.
The Portland lodge has waned some

coming concatenation, or rally, Is In
tended to be but a forerunner of many
more for the Hoo-Hoo "the singular is
plural and the plural very singular,"
according to an enthusiastic member
of Oregon ana Washington desire that
the annual meeting, or "Nine," be held
ln Portland ln 1905.
Head of prder Talks.
James A. Clock, Pacific Coast agent
for the Wisconsin Central, Is the head
of the order In Oregon, and Is known
by the awe-lnsplring tltlo of Vicegerent
Snark.
If we succeed In getting the nine
in Portland during 1905," said Mr. Clock.
It wll bring about 3,000 people to this
city from all parts of the continent.
The local lodge has a membership of
over 50, and we Intend to greatly In
crease the roll. I feel confident we
will secure an annual meeting for Portland.
"The Hoo-Hoo meets on September
9, this year, at Buffalo. It Is almost
an established fact that tho lumber
men will meet In St. Louis next year.
The lodge takes as Its mystic ' symbol
the number 9. The annual meetings
are always held on the ninth month
ninth day of the month and begin
9:09 o'clock ln the evening. The orig
inal membership of the order was lim
ited to 9,999, but that mark has long
since been reached, and to allow for
It new members are numbered with
the letter A prefixed. The annual dues
are 99 cents, and the Initiation fee is

"There sre two Vicegerent Snarks ln
the State of Washington, one from the
Eastern and the other from the West

Vicegerent Snark from Seattle, will be
present at the coming concatenation."
Two States Meat Bars.
The two states expect to hold a Joint
concatenation In Portland on September
9, and candidates from outside points
will be Initiated. Something after the
order of Invitations to the Jubilees of
the Mystic Shrlners Is the "bid" got
ten out by Vicegerent Snark Clock to the

ST. LOUIS, Mo., Aug. 3. Replying to
Inquiries as to the possibility of tha
Louisiana Purchase Exposition being
I postponed until 1905, the authorities
declare that there is absolutely no sub
I stance in recent reports, but that tha
gates will swing open on May 1, 1904,
at the time appointed. All of the larger
buildings practically have been com
pleted, and It is a question whether or
not the structures would stand the ele
ments through another year. Tha con- '
structlon IS' such as to keep in mind
economy, while at the same time mak; ,
lng them permanent enough to last thej
time for which they were designed. But;
they are by no means erected so as to "
permit them to stand for an indefinite
period, and it would be a doubtful policy
to postpone the Fair for a year, and- -thus
endanger the expensive buildings
that have been prepared.
Regarding the report; that tha for
eign exhibitors are probably going to
ask for the postponement, the Fair man
agement asserts that there la nothing .
in it. No intimation has been given,
arid, furthermore, were the Exposition
postponed, it is doubtful whether tha
Federal appropriation would be avail-'
able. It Is believed that postponement ,
would operate to subtract the Govern- .
ments' contribution from tha Fair's ra-;
sources, which would be a calamity.
The St. Louis Fair, so the manage- -ment
claims, will be the largest aver
given In the world. The Centennial In v
Philadelphia covered 23S acres, tha last
Paris Exposition 338 acres, the Colum- :
blan Exposition in Chicago 663, whlla
that in St. Louis will cover not lesa.
