There are twelve turnstiles for entrance and eight for exit. The capacity of each .entering turnstile is about forty persons per minute, or even more in a rush. It is safe to figure that 500 persons may pass through these gates in a minute, Each turnstile records the number of people passing through, so that at the end of a day the total attendance may be figured up quite readily. There are three other entrances, one at Twenty-eighth street, near the Museum of Arts, one at the American Inn and the other at the northeast corner of the grounds, which will ad mit visitors coming by boat on the Willamette river to the Government Peninsula. The admission price has been fixed at fifty cents. Those who expect to be in Portland during the entire exposi tion season may purchase a season coupon ticket for $20, good for 137 admissions, or one good for fifty ad missions for $12.50. The main entrance, which is at Twenty-sixth and Upshur streets, is reached by all car lines and is only fifteen minutes' ride from the heart of the city. Many extra cars will be put on for the season. The Exposition will be ready in every department to open June 1. Beautifying the Cemeteries. Memorial Day will be observed in Dallas with appropriate exercises. People having relatives or friends buried in the cemeteries are earnestly requested to clear the burial lots of grass and weeds, in order that the grounds may present the best possible appearance on that day. A little work at this time will make a great change for the better, and it i3 hoped that no one will neglect to do his share. The members of the Bebekah lodge are taking an active interest in the move ment, and are willing to assist in the work of beautifying the grounds and to suggest plans foi improvement. The hearty co-operation of every man and woman in Dallas is invited. A Masonic lodge wa3 organized in Junction City, Saturday, by W. T Williamson, grand senior waraen oi Masons in Oregon. The lodge was instituted under dispensation. Artnur Montgomery, a son of J. I. Montgomery, was killed in a land suae on the line of the new railroad above Falls City, Tuesday afternoon. The young man was covered with several tons of dirt and loose rock, and was instantly smothered to death ine Dody was recovered after 40 minutes of rapid work. Albert Lee, foreman of the grading gang, was struck by a log eight feet long and a foot in diameter, and suffered the fracture of his collar-bone. The slide occurred at 1 :50 o'clock in the afternoon, at a point about two miles above Falls City. A blast had been set off in the mountain side earlier in the day, and a gang of men were clearing away the dirt and loose rock when the accident occurred. Young Montgomery was in the act of picking up his shovel when the slide started. Chief Engineer J. W. Coovert happened to be standing nearby, and, seeing the oncoming rush of rock and dirt, siezed the young man and made a heroic effort to drag him out of harm's way. The assistance was of no avail, and Mr. Coovert barely escaped with his own life. All of the workmen escaped, with the exception of Foreman Lee, who was struck by a heavy log and painfully injured about the shoulders. Immediately after the slide occurred, the men began a search for the body of Montgomery, After about forty minutes of hard work, the body was found in the loose dirt, at a depth of five or six feet. Death had doubtless occurred almost instantly. The victim of the accident was 22 years old, and was an honorable, in dustrious young man. His father, J. I. Montgomery, formerly resided in Falls City, but is now living in Grant's Pass. The funeral was held In Falls City yesterday afternoon, and largely attended. was H. G. CAMPBELL RESIGNS Newly-Elected City Auditor Finds That Private Business Demands His Whole Attention. H. G. Campbell, who was elected City Auditor without opposition at the recent city election, handed in his resignation at the meeting of the council, Monday evening. He ex plained his resignation by saying that his real estate business demands his whole attention, and that it is necessary for him to be out of the city a great portion of the time. The resignation was laid .on the table, and it is probable that his successor will be chosen at the next' meeting of the council. President H. B. Cosper presided over the regular meeting of the coun cil, Monday evening, Mayor Biddle being absent from the city. All of the councilmen were present, excepting F. J. Coad, who was in Portland. No business of importance was transacted at the meeting. The ordi nance to license meat peddlers came up on it3 final passage and aroused considerable opposition. After a lengthy discussion, a vote on the ordinance was postponed until the next meeting of the board. The matter of permitting one of the hose carts to ba kept in the business part of town, in a building to be furnished by the merchants, was re ferred to the Fire and Water Committee. Mayor Biddle's appointment of standing committees is as follows : Finance Cosper, Ayres, Belt Streets Coad, Boals, Ayres. Ordinance Boals, Shaw, Stafrin. Health and Police Ayres, Coad, Cosper.
