That the Lewis and Clark Exnosi
tion will prove to be a notable success
from the point of attendance is
practically a foregone conclusion,
cnougo it nas been open only a
montn. it has had a larger attend
ance for the first four weeks, in pro
portion to the population of Portland
and its vicinity, than any other ex
position ever held in the United States.
Figures compiled by John A. Wake
field, the director of concessions and
admissions who has been connected
with half a dozen expositions, show
that the Portland Fair has enjoyed an
attendance up to date 201 per cent
greater than any other exposition,
considering the population within a
radius of 500 miles.
Approximately 1,800,000 people live
within 500 miles of Portland. Since
opening day, June 1, the daily attend
ance at the Fair has averaged 14,127.
The city of Portland has about 140,000
inhabitants. Chicago, at the time of
the Columbian Exposition, including
the immediate suburbs, contained
practically as many people as dwell
within Portland's 500-mile radius.
Yet for the first month of the Chicago
Fair the daily attendance ran from
19,524 to 30,929, excepting oue special
day when 02,000 people were present.
For the first twenty-two days of the
Portland Fair, ending with June 22,
the admissions aggregated 310,795.
Of these 100,798 were paid admissions,
averaging 7,309 paid admissions
daily. As the Fair goes on, the pass
admissions will decrease and the paid
admissions will increase. Many work
men have been employed during the
first few weeks, putting the finishing
touches on the exhibit booths here
and there, shaping up the latter land
scape, and completing some of the
buildings on the Trail, the concessions
for which were granted late. This
has made the free admissions aggre
gate considerably greater than it will
be during the remainder of the Ex
position period. On the other hand, it
is the experience of all expositions
that the crowds do not begin to come
until che second month, and as a rule
the largest attendance is in September
and October.
The paid admissions for the first
twenty-three days at Portland were
equal to the aggregate for the entire
first month at the Omaha Exposition,
notwithstanding the fact that within
one night's ride of Omaha there were
14,000,000 people. With less than one
seventh as many inhabitants in the
corresponding territory, Portland feels
that she has surpassed the most
sanguine expectations.
The Lewis and Clark Exposition
will run until October 15. A daily
average no larger than that of the
first three weeks would give nearly a
million paid admissions, which many
experienced exposition men declared
before the opening of the Fair would
be as large an attendance as reason
ably could be expected from an ex
position so far from the great centers
of population. But it is the history or
all expositions that the first month s
attendance is the smallest of all, and
Director Wakefield counts upon a
paid attendance far exceeding one
million. Hotel bookings in roraana
indicate a far larger attendance for
July and August, while it is not to be
doubted that September and the closing
days of the Fair in October will bring
the largest crowds of all.

NO WARRANTS FOR EMPLOYES
Kay Law Is an Original Act and Not
. an Amendment of the
Statutes.
Holding that the Kay law is an
original act and not an amendment
of section 3617 of the statutes and does
not change nor modify the law pro
hibiting the Secretary of State from
issuing a warrant unless there is an
unexpended appropriation applicable
to its payment, the Supreme Court
rendered an opinion Monday morning
affirming the decision rendered by
Judge Galloway, in the Circuit Court
of Marion county in the case of Super
intendent Calbreath, of the Insane
Asylum, vs. Secretary of State Dunbar.
The decision of the Supreme Court
is a defeat to the mandamus suit
brought against the Secretary of
State. The action was brought on the
ground that the Kay bill, repealed the
section that provides that no warrants
shall issue unless there is an unex
pended balance applicable to its pay
ment. The Supreme Court holds that the
Kay bill is an original act to regulate
time of payment and does not repeal
the act prohibiting money being paid
where there is none in the Treasury.
The state employes thought they could
force the payment of their salaries
because of this Kay bill, that was
passed at the recent session of the
Legislature, but found that the Secre
tary of State was correct in the
premises, when he refused to issue
warrants.
This was a mandamus suit, brought
to compel the Secretary of Stale to ob
serve the provisions of the Kay Act of
the last Legislature in the payment
of salaries of the employes of the
several state institutions, monthly in
stead of quarterly, and by warrant in
stead ot by certificate. The Secretary
of State declined to issue a warrant
upon demand, upon the ground of
no appropriation, declaring that Sec
tion 2398 of the code authorized him
to issue certificates only, in lack of an
appropriation. It was claimed by
counsel for the plaintiff that the Kay
Act operated as a repeal to Section
2398, but the Supreme Court rules
otherwise, and holds the latter is a
general law, intended to prohibit the
issuing of warrants against the state,
unless there is an unexpended appro
priation for payment, while the Kay
Act merely was intended to simplify
and expedite work in the offices of the
Secretary of State and the State
Treasurer. The opinion was by
Justice Bean.
Fountain for Eola.
A. K.-Southwiek, road supervisor in
the Eola precinct, was in town
Wednesday. Mr. Suuthwick, with
others, is soliciting funds to be used
for the building of a fountain at the
spring in Eola where the old watering
trough has stood for many years.
The fountain will cost about $125.
An exchange gives the following
recipe for stocking the penitentiary:
"When your boy does not want to go
to school, let him stay at home; when
he gets into mischief and your
neighbor reports it to you, curse your
neighbor in the presence of your boy ;
do not reprimand the boy. When he
gets a little larger and purloins some
thing of value and you find it out,
just laugh at it and let it go; when he
gets into anything that calls him to
the justice court and he is found to be
guilty, pay the fine, curse the court
and jury, but pity the boy, and you
will soon have a splendid candidate
for the pen."
Hon. Walter L. Tooze, of Wood
burn, has been appointed as the Ore
gon Bepresentative to the National
Fraternal Congress, composed of
representatives of 64 beneficiary
organizations' in the United States.
The appointment was made by Hon.
I. I. Boak, Head Consul, Woodmen
of the WTorld, Pacific Jurisdiction.
This jurisdiction, consisting of nine
of the Western and Pacific Coabt
states, will send from the states out
side of Oregon four representatives.
The Fraternal Congress meets at
Mackinau Island, Michigan on Aug
ust 23. Mr. Tooze has delivered many
orations in Oregon for the Woodmen
at unveiling ceremonies and upon
other occasions. He has been a mem
ber of nearly all District Conventions
of the Woodmen for ten years and
served as a delegate to the Head Camp
Sessions at Salt Lake City in 1900, and
at Los Angeles, in April, 1905. The
appointment, which is a coveted one,
being second to none held by a Wood
man of the state, has been accepted by
Mr. Tooze who will attend the Congress.

SECRETARY HAY IS DEAD
Great Statesman Passes to His Rest
at His bummer Home in
New Hampshire.
Secretary of State John Hay died t
his summer home on Lake Sunapee,
N. H., July l. Secretary Hay had
recently returned from Europe where
he went hoping to be improved in
health and after attending to his
official duties in Washington for a
few days went to his summer home
feeling quite comfortable. The end
came suddenly early Saturday morn
ing. By his death, the world as well
as the nation, has lost one of its
greatest statesmen and diplomats. As
a writer and statesman, Secretary
Hay had gained eminent distinction
and in diplomatic circles he had no
superiors.
John Hay was born in Salem,
Indiana, in 1838, and was assistant
secretary to President Lincoln in 1861.
He served several months in the Civil
war, and from 18G5 to 1867 was secre
tary of legation to Paris, charge
d'affaires at Vienna until 18G8, and
secretary at Madrid until 1870. He
became associated with the New York
Tribune, and from 1879 to 1881 was
First Assistant Secretary of State. Be
came Ambassador to England in 1897,
which office he resigned to enter
President McKinley's Cabinet as Sec
retary of State, in 1898. He was re
appointed by President Roosevelt and
continued in that position until his
death.
MITCHELL FOUND GUILTY
Jury Recommends Aged benator to
the Mercy of the Court.
On the stroke of 11 o'clock Monday
night the jury in the case of United
States Senator John H. Mitchell re
turned a verdict of guilty as charged.
The jury recommended the defend
ant to the mercy of the court.
The charge is that Mitchell, while
occupying a high position, accepted
pecuniary compensation for practic
ing before the federal departments at
Washington.
There was little belief in Portland
that a speedy verdict would be reached
and, when the hours wore away, and
the jury hung far into the night, hope,
even among the remaining few in the
court room, ebbed to the lowest stage
A few minutes before 11 o'clock, the
bailiff was summoned to the j ury room.
A moment later he reappeared and
communicated to those in waiting
that the jury had agreed.
Judge De Haven, the attorneys and
the aged senator, whose last days were
to be crowned with disgrace, were
summoned, and in an incredibly short
time they appeared. Judge De Haven,
ascending the bench without remov
ing his overcoat, directed that thojury
be brought in. They filed in and took
their places in the jury box. Captain
J. A. Siaden, clerk of the court, was
handed the verdict by the foreman,
and, opening it, proceeded to read it
amid the crash and the rattle of fire
works exploded in the streets on all
four sides of the court house.
Captain Siaden spoke low, and, with
the din without, but two sentences of
the verdict were audible, "guilty as
charged," and "recommended to the
mercy of the court."
The aged senator received the ver
dict with fortitude. Severe and evi
dently unexpected as was the blow, he
showed no outward sign save by a
ghastly palor and a nervous stroking
of his beard that he felt the blow.
As Captain Siaden concluded, Judge
DeHavcn said : "Gentlemen, is this
your verdict?"
"It is," responded the foreman.
Clerk Siaden polled the jury, and
Judge DeHaven directed that it be
discharged. When these proceedings
were complete, Judge Bennett arose
and, on the part of Senator Mitchell,
moved for a new trial.
Judge DeHaven directed that the
motion be continued till next Monday
and declared the court adjourned.
All morning and a portion of the
afternoon was consumed by Heney in
finishing the last argument of the
prosecution. He deyoted a large part
of the time in demonstrating to the
jury that Mitchell must have known
where the alleged illegal fees came
from. In alluding to Mitchell's age
and long service, he compared him to
Lord Bacon, who, in his old age, not
withstanding his services to his
country, greater far than Mitchell's,
was tried and convicted by the house
of lords, and sentenced to be imposed.
Judgo DeHaven delivered the charge
to the jury immediately on the con
clusion of Heney 's speech. The
charge was fair and satisfactory to
both parties. He told the jury it was
its duty to convict if there was no
reasonable doubt as to his guilt, other
wise the verdict should be for acquittal.
The gist of the matter was whether
Mitchell knew at the time the money
was paid what and wherefor it was
paid, and whether he had done work
before the department exiecting com
pensation. This fact was for the jury
to decide.
-The case went to the jury at 3:30
o'clock.
