He wore a white helmet, a gorgeously colored, sain, m nt-htm-aalcs: jacket and he looked like a pictured tourist In, a tropical country. And he felt like a . The city editor "eat the reporter to write up the fireworks aa, rlewed from behind the scenes. At the gate H. M. Henaford. manager of the fireworks production, wae consulted.- Within t a ' minute the newspaper man was being hustled off toward the city in the dU- tance..: Mr. Hanaford ushered him. to a ; tent and assisted him in removing hi . overcoat. '.-,':'' . ' , . A helmet waa placed on his head, a Jacket slipped over his arms and a sash wound time and again about his body. Then Mr. Hanaford began ' leading attain.' Then everything wae light -and dazzling. There were hundrede of gay ly dressed men and women about. The reporter staggered a bit, then came to. He was out -on the "stage" actually taking part In the show. And he didn't know it until the stage manager ap . peered. The reporter looked under neath: the stream of lights and away in the distance he saw a black mass several blocks long. It was the audi nee. Then the lUn fright came. But It wasn't ao bad after all. ' -; ' BeUad the . TootUghta. v , .- The stars manager said his name was Cunliffe James Cunllffe and It was anon plain that be was the big stick on that end of the grounds. Mr. Hana ford Is boss In front and Mr. Cunllff controls the works. ' "If you can," said the stage manager, "follow me around awhile and I'll show "-you a thing r two. "'" m'1" .''.'? - Then he hiked for the other end of , tne grounds witn tns reporter noi on Ms trail. The carnival was on in full ' blast But on the rt'ht-hand end of the scene too. many, men' had congre- anted. Consequently Mr. Cunllffe's hike I mm tne opposite ena. "Scatte -out - there, you fellwws,' shouted the stage man. And the men ' scattered slowly. . ..,. 1 rHow's it come they were all heref , asked the .reporter, looking for pointers how to act to become a good "sups." ' - "Women-the ballet are ajl on this end," was the 'terse reply. - About 200 Vsupes" take : part irt the f production every night. They are paid ' 60 cents each.' About 20 of these ' are , . women. Some of the. .girls are quite fromislng as actresses. - That' is, they hlnk they are. Some of the ballet ' girls wore a sort of "dtrectoire" cos- ; tume tlghta and scant 4rapriee whlah .) disclosed the shapes which most of them scope will make them famous. ' -. OaralTal Btunts Begia. . ; Finally a aduad of -Italian policemen l appeared, -men Italian soldiers, xnen v more of the ballet, and cltliens. and . - the priest and his procession of acolytes I went marching by. , And oh, yes, the queen and her king and. another ballet. (They: Were the same- girls and had - sneaked off the stage, at the other end.) ; The king didn't have his shoes shlned, The queen and king took the- throne and majestically looked over the field, 'in oueen waved ner nana. Jim jun liffe blew' his whistle. The vaudeville stunts began, i And oa, yea, the bsnd ., began to play,' "a- All of a sudden Cunllffe became so busy and darted about so rapidly that one could only keep track of him by his whistle. All evening a whistle Is 1 blown every few seconds. Jim Cunllffe ; does all the blowing Every time th T band changes' a tune, a rocket Is to b -! fired or anything else happens the whistle of the atage manarer must first J be heard. ' Consequently you can welt ; imagine mat ne is a mighty pusy man. Between whistles Mr. Cunllffe turned l the reporter over to Nick Eckert. Nick "Is the firing man, While he never worked on a battleship, Nick has the t Tiring iaea oovn to a science. When 2 ne isn't firing be is "sunlng. : I Nick Is from New Orleans.

There could have been no understanding to the contrary, for Governor Chamberlain's character and popularity repels the bare sugges tion. Should these instructions be obeyed, undoubtedly. Illogical as the re Htr wUl repreeent the popular will, and show that ours la a govern ment by majority. People of Oregon have spoken and with full knowledge of the matter before them.
