The Idea waa auggeated aome tlma

tha government waa secured, and a
manufacturing firm at Cincinnati haa
been engaged to make the chlmea. The

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

scope of the exposition.

FOR THE STRANGER
WITHIN OUR GATES
Exposition Accommodation Bu
reau Authorized by Manage
ment to Provide Room.
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.

"JUST POLITICS,"
SAYS MR. ELLIOTT
Cry of Jobbery in Connection
with His Office Raised by
Republican Machine. '
GIVES SLATE MADE UP
FOR NEXT ELECTION

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.

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.
