Between fil1 ranks of people on

dred school rhlldren marched down
Main street this afternoon, forming
an Imposing spectacle ami a fitting
compliment to the feature parade of

ed by the crowds this afternoon and
evening.
The parade of the school children
this afternoon was one of the most
beautiful sights ever witnessed in this
city. The large crowds along the
walks could not refrain from bursting
into spontaneous applause as one af
ter another 4hc special features pass
ed In review.
President Roosevelt and DeCaprlo's
band marched In the lead and Imme
diately following were the pupils from
the I'matllla agency. At the head
marched a young Indian brave, deck
ed out In his war paint and other tc
galla, while at the head of the bri
gade of girls marched one robed In
flaming colors. The others wore the
regulation school uniforms.
Preceded by the school board the
Field school next appeared and by
many was voted to have carried off
Hip honors. The other schools then
followed, enrh seemingly trying to
make the best showing. The Wash
ington school had some spectacular
features which were good, among
them being the representation of
George and Martha Washington. Fol
lowing the high school students was
a large number, from the different
schools of the county.
The streets were well filled early
this morning and the sidewalks have
been crowded ever since the trains
began to arrive shortly before noon.
The Walla Walla train came In first,
hiinglng more than 200 people from
Adams, Athena, Weston, Milton and
Walla Walla. This was soon followed
by the Pilot Hock special, bringing
200 more from the southern part of
the county and when the Northern
Pacific pulled in with even the aisles
crowded the streets Immediately toog
on a Fourth of July appearance.
This afternoon the big pavilion Is
filled with a whirling. Jostling, good
tiattired mass of humanity. This s
educational day and the school chil
dren arc the predominating features
of the crowd. The program both as
to the speakers nnd the music was one
of the best of the fair.

The big spectacular feature of the
fair week occurred last night when
the Elks-auto parade was held.
Though the evening was cold nod
damp thousands of people gathered
nlong the curbs on Main and Court
streets shortly after 7 o'clock.
At the opening of the parade the
autos alone participated nnd they
made a Stirling sight ns they drovo
through the city at n brisk clip with
the two bands playing lively airs.
Coming down Main street the autos
were In double column and the De
and the extension of the parcels post.
Whenever It may be Impracticable
for postmasters to deliver the lectures
they nre to furnish the necessary In
formation to the school supervisors,
so as to equip the regular teachers. It
Is the postmaster general's expecta
tion that the school children will be
useful to the postnl service In seeing
that letters are properly and plainly
addressed.
That there Is necessity for action of
the kind U shown by the business
trnnsacted by the dead letter office.
During the last yenr 13.145.172 pieces
of mail matter were sent there be
cause the postofflces were unable to

between the two musical organlza
tlons "music swelled the breeze."
At the conclusion of the first part
of the parade the aulos stopped on

Eagles' hall.
Praise for Elks.
The members of the local lodge of
Elks, 200 strong and decked In fault
less white duck military uniforms,
took the lead. They made a good
sight as the long line swung through
the business section. C E. Roosevelt
served as grand marshal and led the
parade on foot. Following htm came
the Dp Caririo band and then tho
Elks. The autos brought up the rear
Though the Klks' parade was not
the elaborate feature It was made last
year, yet the showing last night was
a splendid one and the parade
brought forth strong praise for the
antlered herd.
Though the number of addresses
yisterday afternoon were fewer than
had been anticipated, the two prin
cipal ones were among the most In
t resting delivered at the fair. Con

gratulate the fair management upon
It' success rind spoke words of praise
for the pioneer spirits who had dared
to cross the plains and carve this

In Discussion of CaniMilgii Exjieii
ditiircs. Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 2. Declaring
that "every disinterested voter know
that large contributions have been
used to secure mortgages upon offi
cials," W. J. Hryan tonight Issued at
I'airvUw :r tatement criticising t:i-'
adoptloii by William H. Taft, his re
publican opponent for president, of
President Roosevelt's announced view
on the subject of publicity of cam
paign contributions.
"Mr. Taft," says Mr. Hryan, "now
makes the same charge the president
does, the astounding charge that the
voters are so liable -to be misled that
tlu knowledge (as to the amounts and
sources of campaign contributions)
must he kept from them."
Mr. Hryan then adds:
"I Insist tlvt this Is an Invult to the
Intelligence cf the voter nnd it does
little credit to Mr. Tnft's judgment of
the men to whom he Is making his
appeal."
l'.raii Is SnrprlsM.
In his s-iat.-nient, Mr. Hryan says:
"I nni surprised to find that Mr.
Taft Indorses the president's view on
the subject of pumkity as ?o cam
paign criittibiitli us, but since he
holds thece views 1 nm glad that lie
makes them known now.
Hryan says that Taft fails to see
the difference between the publica
tion of contributions before election
and the publication of expenditures
before election. That tho publication
of expenditures Is required to show
whether corrupt methods have been
employed In the election and ns th."
expenditures continue up to the close
of the polls It would be Impossible ta
make a complete publication until
after election.
He quotes Judge Taft ns saying
that the purpose of the publicity Is to
prevent contributions for improper
purposes nnd to guard ngnlnst Im
proper expenditures of the same and
ho says thni the former could not be
accomplished except through pre
election publicity. Implying thnt by
dragging the latter clause Into the
controversy Judge Tnft Is dodging the
renl Issues.

Gels 60 Days Grand Jury Finish

Pleas of not guilty were entered In
the circuit court last evening by the
attorneys for all the men indicted for
selling liquor In violation of the pro
hibition law. Seemingly the cases are
to be tried out. The cases against
Murrell et al, who are represented by
Attorney Will M. Peterson, have been
set for trial Monday morning.
But It is easily possible that before
Monday rolls around an understand
ing will be reached whereby the in
dicted men will plead guilty to some of
the charges against them in order to
secure immunity upon the remaining
counts.
However, District Attorney Phelps
declared this morning that If the ex
saloonmen wish to take that course
hey will have to plead guilty to more
than a single Indictment each. This
will mean that Jail sentences will
await them if they throw themselves
on the mercy of the court

Last evening the grand Jury re
turned several Indictments. Henry
Kopittke of this city, and Charles
Xewcomb of Pilot Rock, were both
