THRONGS SEE SPECTACULAR CIRCUS PARADE I ON - t . . . - 'vk' COMMITTEE , J ' S!m Bureau of Th- Jfturnd.) r ' falem, Or, Aug-. 21 It is noticeable that two men appointed by Senator Dnn J MaJarkey, president of the senate, on - tb committee authorized to spend " $15,000 as Oregon's share of the ex- pense of Investigating the power possi "., . blltties at Celilo Kails, have refused to i aerve on the committee. In politics, : ' such refusals usually mean something. , 1 Thoae who are pretty close to the in " (tide workings of the late legislative assembly declare these refusals mean that Senator Butler of Wasco and Sen ator Burgess of Umatilla, the two who ' j. bare refuged the appointment, won't ' stand for President Malarkey's broken promtse, nor for the brand of politics ' being handed the state in -connection . with thia Important investigation. The promise was that if enough of thi law makers jtho were opposed to - Senator I. N. Day's seeming determina tion to control and dominate the whole Cello Falls matter would withdraw their opposition and vote to pass the Day bill over the governor's veto, .' President Malarkey would not appoint Day on the Investigating committee. , , But Day was appointed and there ap pears to be a little difficulty now in . . , getting some one to serve on the com- , mlttee with him. , '. ; : .

' While it is declared that this broken promise Is the direct cause of the re fusal of the two men to aerve on the ' committee, others who are acquainted - ' with the situation point out that as Bur- gesa is a brother-in-law of Senator Malarkey and usually Btood with the , . the organization, there might be other - - . reasons why he refused the appoint V meat -."If there are. they are not known -, here. The first bill introduced in the legls 'Mature providing for an Investigation of ; the. Celilo falls power possibilities J. placed the investigation in the hands of the state engineer, where , Governor West declared it belonged. But this ; did not satisfy the machine at all. 8en- , ator Day insisted that a special com- mlttee should be appointed to do the work. A committee was sent to confer with a like committee from the stato , of Washington. Senator Day was a ' member of that committee, and the v course aroused considerable antagonism. History of the Bills. ?, Two bills were later Introduced, one - providing- fot a legislative committee of two' senators and - two representatives J" and the state engineer, to make the in ,;' vestlgatlon, and the other providing that the desert land board do It. The . J firs bill was passed and vetoed by the ; rovernor, en the ground that the Inves ts ligation should have been left to the J -state engineer, who was qualified and - was the logical official to make it. The fight then was to pass the bill over the ,- governor's - veto and kill the measure : )-K putting the investigation up to the desert land board. V MoXrthur Jfames Kaoalne Men. The one chief objection to the vetoed v bill was the general belief that the j, measure was providing a place for Sen ator Day, and If he were on the com , mlttee bis past activities indicated there " would be no harmony unless he dom- 'i ' Inated it. To overcome this and secure enough votes to pass the bill over the veto It Is asserted that "promises were made, one being by Senator Malarkey, who agreed that he would not appoint I Day on the committee. -Speaker McArttyur appointed on the - committee Representatives Abbott of Multnomah and Forbes of Crook, two .' ,' of the house machine leaders. "SssssssSSSssBsa The camels, one of features of parade that delighted the children. What matters it wnether there is war in Mexico or whether one can see through the mysteries of the X-ray skirt? The circus is in town, in witness whereof throngs of little young folks and young big folks lined some down town sidewalks this morning to the point of suffocation and "saw the pa rade." And as it passed, the streets were gay with toy balloons, souvenir canes, pennants and noise-making trink ets, another tell-tale indication that the "big day" Is here. It will not be repeated here this time, There are circuses and circuses and parades and parades, and though it is sometimes sarcastically argued that "they are all alike," it Is generally un derstood that the TUngling Brothers' pageant is somewhat out of the ordi nary, and so it was voted by the crowds which saw the parade today. Probably the "new-looking" appear ance of the big turnout was its most noticeable feature, after the splendid horses, many and unusual wild animals, and elephant and camel herds had been considered. The clroua wagons glittered and sparkled like floats from fairyland, and the great circus family members were all arrayed in attractive dress. New floats and features have been added to the Rlngllng attraction since its last visit to Portland and as a whole the parade was voted "better than ever." The floats of all nations is' still retained as one section of the turnout, and the bands and clowns are more numerous than ever. The music of the caliope, sweetest of all to the ears of the youngsters, was of the latest publication. Circus at taches did good work in keeping the long parade moving and maintained the best of behavior among the marchers and animals,, in line. This afternoon the first of four per formances scheduled for Portland is be ing given at the circus grounds, Twenty sixth and Raleigh streets. There will be another show tonight, one tomorrow afternoon and a final performance to morrow night. RECREATION DECK WLL . BE CONSTRUCTED ON NEW EAST SIDE DOCK A- " (Continued Fron Pago One.) " the slow burning material method. It was explained that in Germany the large dock owners had abandoned the steel or iron idea for the sheds, as being extra unwarranted cost. The otherftjnembers of the commission preferred wie strict ly fireproof plan. Charles B. Moores of the dock com mission reluctantly consented to any in crease in the cost of the dock. He said he wanted the total cost kept as low as possible in view of criticism that pub lic funds had not been guarded as they should in the past.' JUcreatlon Plan Championed. City Commissioner Brewster champ ioned the public recreation plan earnest ly. He insisted that the dock commis sion should be willing to meet the city part way in order to insure the erec tion of the recreation pier. It was pointed out by Chairman Mulkey that the dock commission had no available lunds on hand, aft?r taking care of! present obligations, to uso for carrying out the pleasure Idea. "With a bonded indebtedness of $2, 500,000 facing us, we. as trustees of the people, are expected to see that a sink ing fund is provided to meet the in terest on the bonds,' he said. It was finally decided that, after meeting its obligations, the dock com mission would have left 175,000 which could be used Jointly with, the remain ing funds to be furnished by the city. A hitch In the title to the Martin dock site developed. It appears that no trace can be found of one Clark Kllott, owner of part of the property. Rec ords show that a deed passed about 40 years ago. The commissioners want to know If Kllott is married or single. Affidavits are necessary to clear the cloud that now appears on the title. Attorney La tourette advised that the city be pro tected by an indemnity bond. The meeting, which was held in the offices of the dock commission in the Wooster building, was attended by Dock Comissioners Mulkey, Moores, Kellaher ami Burgard, and Mayor Albee, and Com missioners Dleck, Bigelow, Brewster and Daly. A delegation of women, L. M. Leppcr of the east side improvement clubs. and a representative of the Greater rortland Plans association, were present to urge the cause of the recreation pUr. HOTEL.

INNOCENT PURCHASER CASE IS DETERMINED Forfeiture of Large Tract of Land Near Medford Decreed by Judge Bean, Another forfeiture of lands, "Inno cently purchased," from the Oregon & California railroad land grant, was made yesterday with a decree signed by Federal Judge R. S. Bean. The owner of the land and defendant in the suit Is Dr. Edward Fowler, a physician of Cleveland, Ohio. This is the twenty seventh forfeiture under the "innocent purchaser" statute that has been made. Forty-five of the suits have been started by Glenn E. Husted, appointed special assistant to the attorney gen eral to especially prosecute these cases.

Nearly 10 years ago he financed a cooperative associa tion of eastern people who were going to log off the lands and ultimately turn the lands into fruit growing sec tions. The project failed, and -Dr. Fow ler took over the lands in compensation for the loan. Attorney Husted conduct ed the hearing in Cleveland in May.
