The tower In which tha bells will be In s tailed la an open one, 100 feet above water level and situated on a point of the island in Ouild'a lake.

Director of Exhibits Doach has pre pared an Interesting report of the ex hibits bureau for the Chrlstmaa number of the Lewis and Clark Journal, which Is now In press. Colonel Doach aaya of tha new exhibit building now being planned: "Bealdea these, there are other sur prises In store for Oregon. Along the line of domeatlo exhibits, we have ap plications filed covering 33,743 square feet, which Will just comfortably flll the liberal arta palace under the proposed change. The agricultural palace con tains 96.6HU square feet, two thirds of which la s-t aside for state exhibits, of the remaining 33.000 square feet, 15,7(0 are now assigned to agricultural ex hibits. "Aa will be aeen from the following calculations, floor apace within the Lewis and Clark exhibit palaces will not only be at a premium before the close of tha Louisiana Purchase exposition, but It will necessitate the erection of a new palace to be known aa the palace of manufactures and varied Industries, as we were forced to make a change in converting the preaent palace of In dustrial and liberal arts Into our foreign building, and the preaent foreign build ing into the liberal arts palace, with the additional palace above referred to. "Prealdent Goods and myself htvo considered thia matter carefully, and concluded that thia change la the only way out of the dllema for the better ment and Imperative enlargement of the scope of the exposition.

WILL PREVENT FRAUD AGAINST VISITORS Corporation le the Only Body that Haa Official Endorse ment of the Fair. The exposition accommodation bureau haa filed artlclea of Incorporation and haa established general offices at 2,20 Ooodnough building, Fifth and Yamhill streets, with Jamea Steel, president John C. McLennan, vice-president, and Eugene D. White, aecretary and -general manager. Tha purpose of the corporation la to obtain control of a large number of rooma situated convenient to street car lines, to rent to visitors to the Lewis and Clark fair at reasonable rates. The corporation haa the exclusive endorse ment of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition corporation In fact haa en tered into ,a contract with the fair dl rectors to provide visitors during fair tlma with good room accommodations at reasonable prices. The organisation of thia oompany aolvea the problem of tha proper ac commodatlon of the guests of Portland's great fair. The advantage owners and occupants of dwelling and lodging-houses will de riva from arranging with the exposition accommodation bureau to rent their rooms for them during tha 1306 fair will be, that as fast aa rooma may be come vacant new tenants .will be sup plied. Visitors to the fair will either make their arrangements for rooma In ad vance of their coming or will be met on their arrival by representatives of the bureau and located In quarters suited to their needs and requirements. Many eastern parties are already arranging with tha bureau for accommodations In June. Only Official Body. The city will be districted and repre sentatives put in tha field at onoe. Only people of sober. Industrious hablta will be employed, whose competency and re liability are unqueationed and properly vouched for. In order to forestall any misappre hension by the public aa to who are authorised by the exposition manage ment to supply fair visitors with room accommodations it may be well to state that the only official endorsement and authority given by the directorate of the Lewis and Clark corporation will be that given to the expoaitlon accommo dation bureau. It la generally understood that aome one or more persona are at present en gaged in canvassing for rooms and con tracting to rent them during fair time in consideration of which 26 cents a room cash in advance is demanded and collected. Other partlea are reported to be soliciting and obtaining contracts in the name of Steel & White. No such authority haa yet been given to anyone. When It haa been extended, representa tlvea of the bureau will be provided with certlflcatea of authority by the corporation, endorsed by the Lewis and Clark fair corporation, so that none need be misled or duped into making a con tract with Irresponsible partlea. Central offices of the bureau will be maintained in tha Goodnough building at Fifth and Yamhill streets, 'phone Main (2((, and branchea offices at the union depot and expoaitlon grounds, with sub-stations or district offices at vari ous and convenient points In the city. Repreaentatlvea In uniform will meet visitors on incoming trains and boats and direct them to suitable quarters. A telephone exchange will be Installed aa soon as It may become necessary. In view of the fact that there will be rooms left and to spare in Portland after guests have been amply provided for of the vast numbers of rooms to be had In all parts of the city during the fair. It will be well for thoae having rooma to rent to make their arrange ments with the bureau at aa early a date aa possible, for the reaaon that contracts will be made from now on with eastern parties for room accommo dations. The latent application for such comes from an excursion' party of 160 people from Illinois. A number of other appli cations have been received and are be ing disposed of as rapidly as possible. Will Prevent Extortion. The question of how to prevent ex tortion during the exposition was a per plexing one to iho fair management until tha present corporation was proposed. Visitors coming here unheralded would not be prepared to find hotel accom modations clrcumscrlb-d. and, coming aa strangers would be helpless, com paratively, and at the mercy of those who might be disposed to overcharge them. Tha plan by the bureau provldea a ready remedy and will most effect ually circumvent any effort to "bleed" unauapectlng st rangers. The new corporation will prove the medium through which both landlord and tenant shall receive due conslders tlon and proper treatment resulting In pleasant and aatlafactory sojourns In our city during the fair and encomium of Portland'a treatment of her guests. A royal reception, a generous welcome and kind and hospitable treatment will se cure for us the plaudits of the multi tude, which, added to Portland'a exhibit of forest, field and farm, and the object leaaon of what Oregon is today and what she may become, seema to be about all We expect out of the fair, directly. Profitable reaulta will naturally and speedily follow In the wake of the "won der show" of 1306. It Is to the stranger within our gut ,s that we should accord as ro;-al a welcome aa we of the great weat know so well how to give, and thus o the seed that will bring thousands of thrifty people to us from every part of the east and aouth. The Impressions received by visitors to our great fair. if favorable, will do more to advertise our atate than all the offorta put forth within the past 20 years combined. A large part of the people who attend the fair will lodge In rooma In private dwellings, and the only way In which these people may be properly and aatls factorlly housed during the short periods allotted to their stay in the city will be through a central organisation, prop erly conducted and officially censored by the Lewis and Clark fair officers, and this will be the purpose of the exposition accommodation bureau.

TWENTIETH JAEGER 290 Morrteon Street "JUST POLITICS," SAYS MR. ELLIOTT Cry of Jobbery in Connection with His Office Raised by Republican Machine. ' GIVES SLATE MADE UP FOR NEXT ELECTION Candidates Would Make Step ping Stones of Officials Whom They Have Discredited. The rrv of "Politics" haa been ralaed hv Cltv Rnarlneer Elliott in defending himself agalnat -the charges made by the council committee that Investigated the Tanner creek aewer. He declares that he la being sacrificed by the Re publican machine to further the inter ests of others. Claiming that Loula Zimmerman haa been slated for mayor and C. E. Rumelln for. chairman of the police commission. There were so many adverse re ports about the sewer," said Elliott. "that in order to protect myseit ana k ,.i, r nalreri the council to investi gate the condition of the work. Council man Rumelln Introduced the resolution to appoint the committee which con sisted of tz Zimmerman. H. A. Albee and B. D. Slg-ler. Thia committee was Instructed by the resolution to Investi gate the sewer and report 10 me coun cil the condition In which they found It. "4 tht. tim. there wns no Intention of making other than a straightforward examination of the aewer; there waa no political aspect to the affair at all. "Before the matter had gone far politics appeared. H. R. Albee, one of the committeemen, saw how things were turning, tie concluded there waa going to be a political mlzup in connec tion with- the investigation, and handed i hi. ra.nl arnattnn tn Zimmerman. One day while In Zimmerman's office he took thia resignation- out of hla desk and showed It to me. He told me Albee desired to pull out for personal reasons and that he and Slgler would not consent to the resignation. One day wnue me investigation wua ,, nrnarreaa I autw Jack' Matthew.-) and he openly told me that the report waa going to be bad for me. Why he was so well Informed at that time i ao noi know. a er tl friend of mine came to me one day and told me he had seen Zimmerman. Blgler and Matthews In conference In Matthews' office. That waa while the Investigation was on. "U.,..nru ,ia v. ttorore me cumin tier. had concluded lta work Zimmerman sent for me to come to bis office. He said me: : Elliott you have some political enemlea In camp. You had better go see "Jack" Matthews.' I Ho not know whether I will or not,' I replied.' and I did not go. .... ,. of theae lnxoectora who got me into this trouble had been rec ommended by the macnine. i nis is double-edged arrangement. l ne prop- arty owners were led Into the trsp, not mowing anything aDout me political hand that waa working It. "On the day before the committee made its flnsl report I was In Mayor Williams' office with Mr. Zimmerman. The ma yor, addressed Zimmerman, stat ing that he had watched the investiga tion wru cloaalv. He said he did not desire to dictate to the committee tho sort of report they should nana, dui If he were a member of the committee he would find the sewer defective and compel the contractora to go Into It and reconatruct It according to plans and specifications, and until they had done so they should not be paid a cent of money. "Certain Individuals selaed the oppor tunity of furthering their own political Interests. Zimmerman Is spoken of aa Matthews' candidate for mayor. Coun cilman Rumelln desires to be chairman of the police commission and Otto Burkhart would like to be city auditor. The machtn7nrnew people were clamor ing for an lnvewtlgatlon of the sewer and they decided to make a grand stand play. This office had to bear the brunt of the underhanded scheme. They decided to sacrifice me and Scoggln. and they manipulated the Investigation and planned the report recommending my Impeachment and Scoggtn'a dis charge. "I am also of the opinion, and I have good reason for It, that the machine Is striking a blow at Mayor Williams. They have heard that he may be a candi date for re-election. In such case Zimmerman's chancea of reaching the mayor s chair would be greatly lessened. I am convinced tliey thought by using me as a scapegoat they could put tho mayor In a bad light before the people. By throwing the burden upon him he -- i. .nlilanlMl tn criticism. If ho n . . 1 1 4,, decided agalnat me he would be censured by my friends, and u ne rem aea to bring In Impeachment charges he would be severely srralnged by the othera." Councilman Albee when Interviewed acknowledged that he had handed his roads-nation as a member of the In vestigation committee 10 COvncnnttn Zimmerman, but further than that he refused to discuss the subject.
