With the srrest yesterday of Felix Stromberg. business manager for the lo cal branch of the American Barber ool lege, with headquarters at Los Angeles, what Is said by members of the state board of barber examiners to be a light to a finish was begun against the so called barber school. Immediately af ter his arrest. Stromberg stated that his Instructions from headquarters war to carry the rasa up to the supreme court of the United States. If necessary, to beat the state board. H. T. Rogers, treasurer of the board, whan told of this, said he would fight as long as the barber people. The barber school now on the de fensive la the same Institution that brought about the recent appeal by H. L. Brigga, then manager for the school, from the municipal court to the circuit court; the subsequent adverse decision to the state board by Circuit Judge George and the ultimate reversing of that Judiciary's course by the highest tribunal of the state. Having had full authority restored, the state board, comprised of J. C. 'Wets, president; H. O. Meyers, secretary, and H. T. Rogers, treaaurer, have deter mined to act under the state law and prosecute the manager of the barber school as far as lies in their power. 1 received Instructions from Mr. Conklln. head of the American Barber college, to fight this case through to the supreme court of the United States, If necessary," said Business Manager Stromberg. "The state board has no right to attack us, and we will right It to the end. We have a right to exist, and we do not purpose to per- mlt the state board to run us out of business." "We are prepared to carry the case aa far as the barber school can," said Treasurer Rogers. "We are proceeding under the state law, which plainly states that such schools cannot be"bp e rated. The law requires that all bar bers shall first pass the regular exam ination and be licensed by the state board. There la one so-called Instruc tor in the local barber school, who se cured his license under the old law of 60-day Umlt. We have Investigated the school and find that youths pay tuition there for something they do not get. The barber school Is the worst foe to the trade, and Is a bad thing for those who are deceived Into taking courses, for they get nothing for their money." A. Cardean is the young man over whom the present trouble arose. He Is a student in the barber school. Hs stated this morning that ha paid 120 to enter it His full course will cost him a total of $36, $15 of which he is sup posed to pay at his leisure. He said he is satisfied with his course at ttw school. When Briggs was before Judge Hogue he was found guilty and fined $26. He quickly appealed. Yesterday It was decided that he will be brought In and compelled to pay his fine, as the su preme court has affirmed the position of Judge Hogue.

WHISKEY AGENT GETS . MIXED IN HIS DATES Mike J. Hunt, who travels for a Ken tucky firm which makes the goods that causes all kinds of fun and ruin, was given two complimentary tickets to the nnenlna of the Columbia theatre. So he announced to Mrs. Hunt that they would co toaether Monday afternoon he went home early and prepared for the event. He dressed up in all his finery and kept telling nia wife to hurry. He boarded a oar on the east side and rode along Washington, telling the conductor at frequent inter vals to be sure to stop at Fourteenth. When be arrived there he alighted from the car and was somewhat surprised to see the place dark. There was no one In the box office and he tried all the doors. Small boys In the neighborhood began to watch the actions of the man who was attired in evening dresa and trying to force an entrance Into the house. Finally It dawned upon him that the opening night was September 4 and he said something that his wife didn't hear plainly and she asked him to repeat It. BRYAN'S ORATORICAL RIVAL STRIKES TOWN Tom Fitch, the "silver-tongued" orator from everywhere. Is in Portland. He la on his way to Idaho to locate and is recently from the Hawaiian islands. Mr. Fitch is ohe of the nation's great orators and hard to excel as a Republi can campaign speaker. He haa resided in a good many states and has won po litical distinction In each of them, par ticularly In Nevada and California. A few years ago he went to Salt Lake, his object being. It Is said, to become United States senator from Utah. But the prospects did not look psomlslng for the "silver-tongued" and he went to Alisons, and from there to Honolulu, That Mr. Fitch haa a senatorahlp In lew In Maho is the belief of some who are Interested In political affairs.

LITTLE PLUMBER STOPS BIG RUNAWAY TEAM He Is 20 years old, and not very large at that, but he la old enough and big enough to do a very heroic deed one that won for him the cheers of a large crowd that witnessed his performance at Morrison and Park streets yester day. Hla nam la Harry Orlgsby, and ho is a plumber. . He was walking along Morrison street, when a team belonging to the West Coast Saab A Door company came dashing down from another direc tion. The team was hitched to a heav ily loaded wagon, and the reins were tied to the driver's seat. The driver had evidently left the team for a moment WHERE SINGLE ERROR MEANS SEVERE BURN Tossing white hot chunks of iron at one another Is the novel occupation of two crews that are at work on the Mor rison street bridge. So deft are they at the work that there haa never been an accident and rarely doea one of the dan gerous missiles miscarry. Caasidy and Mitchell are the two who are stationed at the middle of ..the bridge while Nelson and Stonae are at the east end. They are called the rivet crews and are engaged In placing Iron rivets In the huge Iron pieces whloh are ATTORNEY S DURING Deputy City Attorney Fltsgerald ap peared at the municipal court wearing another man's hat. It was somewhat the worse for wear, did not tit well and waa the wrong color. Upon being Interrogated aa to the sud den change in headgear, the prosecutor of the city's cases in the municipal court declined to be Interviewed. The subject waa plainly one of embarrassment to him. His usual outspoken manner waa not In evidence and he ahled at all questions. KIDSI DE BELL RINGS AT EIGHT NOW. SEE I The young hopeful of Portland will pleaae take notice that beginning on Thursday evening. September 1, the cur few will ring at $ o'clock, one hour ear lier than heretofore. This Is according to law. The wise city fathers, as Is well known, have provided that during ALBUM CYCLES TO FURTHER HIGH ART FHOTOG- TO) ABSOCIATIOBJ SAX.OB CLOTS OF AMXBICA FOB The latest development In photography In Portland Is the organisation of a club membership In the Salon Club of America. The organisation originated In New York, and is designed to take In all American contributors to past na tional salons of amateur photography. Will H. Walker, one of the men who some years ago were Instrumental In building up the famed Portland Camera club, recently received, from distin guished New York amateurs, letters urging that Portland should Join the movement. It has for its object the cir culation of photographic portfolios among the members in various cities over the country, for criticism sod addi tional contribution of photographa to each portfolio. Mr. Walker's love of photographic art haa not been dimmed by the years, and while he Is one of the busiest of men he finds time for an occasional camera trip. A number of other local ama teurs. Including Mrs. Charles Ladd, Miss Bertha Breyman. Edgar Fellows, Henry Berger, Jr.. and Paul Wesslnger, Imme diately saw Interesting features in the plan, and became members. The first portfolio Is expected to ar rive about September IS, via San Fran cisco. Any number of portfolios may be started. Each portfolio la limited to 0 pictures. Any amateur of standing la eligible. It Is necesary to submit six pictures to the centrsl committee, and If one of the six pictures is accepted at the standard fixed by the Salon club It admits the maker of the picture to the portfolio exhibit, and to membership Upon payment of the duea. As a portfolio passes through each member's hands he may examine each picture and write upon Its back hla ciitlclam or suggestion regarding Its artistic merits, and add one of hla own pictures to (be portfolio. When the portfolio hss been passed around the third time and la full each member may withdraw his first picture and substi tute a new one, and the portfolio con tinues on around the circle aa before. It la an exchange of views from one side of the contlnnent to the other, and forms a continuous source of entertain ment to those Interested in high photo graphic art The California members are Miss Cummlngs, Miss Hanscom. Messrs. Ooe, Monteverde. Deaonvllle, Street, Coombs and Clute, all noted amateurs well known to Portland lovers of the art. STRANGE ABSENCE OF ARCHITECT HARM J. D. Harmer, manager of the Chicago architects, has left the city suddenly and unexpectedly. Hla departure oc curred sis weeks ago and since that time no one haa seen or heard of the man from the Windy Ctty. When Harmer reached Portland he established himself (n the Commercial tllock, Second and Washington streets. The directory states that he waa man ager of the Chicago architects, but so far aa is known there were no others connected with the concern He had a number of clients and la said to have bass efficient In hla line lie left several contracts unfinished when he departed. At hla office In the Conatnerclal block there are still hla mask plans and outfit. His friends ex- press ignorance aa to the cause of his The Methodist church at Echo had 11 accessions recently at one time, and did sot consider It an unlucky circumstance either. and they had started laway. They be gan their reckless race soma 10 or II blocks beyond Park street, aad by the time they reached there were going at a dangerous rate. The wagon bumped menacingly from side to side, threaten ing destruction to any object with which It came In contact. Young Orlgsby saw the team and saw the crowds In the street that might be Injured If the team was not checked In Us wild career. He leaped on the -end of the wagon, and, climbing over the load to the seat, seised the reins. Ha succeeded In stopping the horses within the block. to make up the bridge. One man has a small forge where the rivets i heated white hot The others who engage In the perilous occupation are stationed high up on the frame work. With a pair of pincers the iron rivets are taken from the forge and tossed acroas the bridge about 40 feet to the man above. He la armed with a tin bucket Instead of gloves. He always manages to catch' the white ball, some times with pincers, and there hsB never been a sear or burn to show the danger of the task. HAT LOST LUNCHEON Careful investigation, however, proved that "Fits" went to a certain restaurant yeaterday afternoon. The Chair-Warm ers' association, a celebrated organisa tion of prominent cltlaena, waa In ses sion there, and the city's representative remained until adjournment. Then Fitsgerald's troubles began. He had been so absorbed In the debates of the association that hs did not notice a man take the customary black hat from the rack and substitute an old white one. But that waa what was done. the summer season, when the sun shines longest In this section, the signal-bell shall be tolled At o'clock, and In the fall and winter, when- darkneas cornea upon the land soon after supper, the cur few's hour is 8. The dividing-point of the seasons Is September 1. DEFINING POWERS OF DEPARTMENTS ATTOEHIT - OEgEBAL GIVES BIS O PI WIOW AS , BEOAKDS PO OWSIBII.ITIES OF TBE LEWIS AID CLABK COBFOBATIOB A question that haa been troubling the state commission of the Lewis and Clark fair ever since Its organisation has been partially settled by the attorney-general, and an opinion of hla given yea terday will probably be used as a basis In future uncertainties as they Arise con cerning the powers of the commission. Recently President Myers of the com mission addressed, t the request of his fellow-members, a Commission to the attorney-general of the state, asking him If the commission had authority to erect buildings for other exhibits than those of the state. He also asked If the com mission had power to appropriate money from Its funds for the building of struc tures to accommodate foreign exhibitors. In hla reply Attorney-General a. M. Crawford states that he la In doubt con cerning the precise powers of the state commission, even after a consultation with the secretary of state The law providing for the creation and manage ment of the commission is very broad In the powers It confers on the commission. The attorney-general, however, says: 'The commission is, I believe, the sole Judge of what buildings it erects, and the use of the same, so long aa they are for exhibition purposes. Any building erected will be the property of the state after the close of the fair." The attorney-general also states that In hla opinion the corporation Is alone the source of awards and premiums paid., and that the commission cannot devote any part of Its funds to tha paying of such awards. This settlea a point of Im portance. The stockmen of the state have been especially Interested in the prospective aotlon of the fair organisa tion. The question of a general exhibit being made by the stockmen of the re gion is said to hinge chiefly on the amount of prises to be offered by the fair management. Now that the ques tion has been settled aa to the part tha commission may take In offering such awarda, and tha corporation haa been found to be the only body empowered to adopt a plan of merit certificates and cash prises, the Interested exhibitors are confident that definite announcement of the fair's attitude toward the farmers, stockmen snd dairy interests of the northwest will soon be made.

BV PREDICTS HEAVY TRAVEL TO FAIR AJUKBM HATH IAD GOOD TBA aid msir.Boan BAT VISIT TO In railway circles the opinion Is ex pressed thai the next 30 days will wit ness the heaviest travel irom tne t-scinc northwest to St. Louis and Chicago that haa ever been known. Conditions of the last two months have been gradually leading up to it. The successful harvest (hat Is now about completed In northeastern Oregon southeastern Washington and northern Idaho assures a vast movement of peo nle from those sections to the Missis sippi river valley. A great many of these people came to the northwest from Missouri. Iowa. Kansas and Illinois, and they are going back to see the old home and the world s fair. As an example of the steady Increase of travel during the last few months. the Denver & Rio Grande railway s dusi neas may be cited. It Is SO per cent heavier than for the same months last year and from some points the business has doubled, vet the real movement to the 'St. Louis fair has net yet started M. J. Roche, passenger agent of the roads, has Just returned from a trip through the territory above named. "All of the people there have money to spare," he said. 'The farmers are In good shape, and besides, they are Juat completing the harvesting of a great season's crop Prices are fair, and tlmea will be good wsth everybody there this fall and winter. A great number of them are going eaat. 'The wheat has yielded 40 to SO bush els to the acre nearly all through eaat ern Oregon, northern Idaho and south eastern Washington. At only one point did I find a poorer crop and In that section kt was about $0 bushels to the acre, which la far from being bad. The -fruit crop all through this country la also good." Last year the Rio Grande took 74T one way tickets off of the roads tn the northwest. This year thus far It has had 1.0(1 tickets from the o. K. & N alone. CONTRACTOR LOSES ON CITY CONTRACT Contractor G. A. Gordon, who con structed the flreboft house, says be Is out over $1,000 on the contract. He came before the flreboat committee of the executive board at a special meeting and asked the committee to. reimburse him for a portion of his loss. On a former occasion the committee allowed him the sum of $$00 for extras, over and above the consideration In the contract, and yesterday he aaked them for the sum of $506 additional for extra lumber and labor which he used In the construction of the building. He stated that this amount represented the extra lumber not called for in the contract and also for the change of the plans from plastering to ceiling on the second story of the building. There has been considerable contro versy between F. E. Ballln. the archi tect and tha contractor regarding the matter and Mr. Gordon said that the architect had been pretty severe with him. All he asked was a sufficient amount above the consideration men tioned in the contract to relieve him of the entire burden of the loas. The financial condition of the funds of the Ore department was discussed and it was thought, by the members of the committee that, although they dis liked to see the contractor suffer any great loss, that they were unable to grant his request for the reason that there was no money at their disposal.
