MIMIC NAVAL
BATTLE AT FAIR
BEST SIGHT DURING THE YEAR
On i

marine Mine,
The most realistic and spectacu
lar mimic ana naval battle ever
held will take place at the Lewis
and Clark exposition on the even
injr of August 6. At a conference
held by various heads of depart
ments at the exposition, it was de
cided to make this battle the amuse
ment feature of the entire exposi
tion, and to spare neither pains nor
expense to make it a success on a
large scale. Several government
attaches were present at the confer
ence, including Captain John
Clark, commander of the life-saving
crew, who was appointed admiral
of the day.
Oskar Huber, director of works
was instructed to proceed at once to
secure material and construct the
necessary war vessels. Each man-
of war will be 40 feet long and will
be apertect reproduction of a Unit
ed States fighting vessel. All will
e manned by genuine blue jackets
and marines from the revenue cut
ter McCulloch, now in port.
NO TAMB FIREWORKS SHOW.
The battle will be no tame fire-
works show, but every feature of it
will be intensely realistic. Rapid
fire guns and heavy artillery will
create all the din of battle. Tor
pedo boats will dart here and there
on missions ot destruction, and a
genuine submarine mine will be
exploded by electricity, blowing
one of the vessels into atoms
Searchlights will play from the
decks 0 men-of-war and from forti
fications on the banks of the lake
he spectacle to those on the
shores will be what one might ex
pect to see in an attack on Port
Arthur.
There will be a naval problem
worked out, as 11 the battle were
genuine. Ten battleships, with
torpedo-boats and destroyers will
attack land fortifications, located on
the foothills behind the fair grounds.
These fortifications will be manned
by the men of the First Battery of
Field Artillery, O. N. O., with
three field rifles. They will be
strengthened by a squadron in the
harbor, which will be attacked by
the invading and larger fleet. The
attack in many ways will resemble
the recent naval engagements about
Port Arthur.
ALL TUB KEATURHS OF WAR.
At the hour of the battle the
lights of the exposition will be
turned off, A new quarter-moon
will shed a wierd light over the
lake, and with the light produced
by searchlights, distress signals
booming cannon and burning ships
all the effects of a water battle of
the fiercest possible proportions will
be preserved.
Every detail is to be closely
planned by those having it in
charge. Major C. E. McDonnell,
commander of the Centennial
Guard, was designated as the offi
cer in general charge. Work on
the battleships will begin at once.
Each one will have a crew of 14
men, and needless to say the boat
that is blown up by the torpedo
will first be carefully rid of its crew.
Electrical Director James Thomp
son was instructed to lay the wires
necessary for the discharge ot a
submarine mine which will wreck
one of the luckless boats.
The price of admission to the
Lewis and Clark fair in tlie even
ing has been reduced, by a provis
ion whereby the purchaser of a fifty
cent admission ticket receives with
his ticket coupons which admit him
to twenty-five cents worth of shows
on the trail. The arrangement is
proving popular. The change was
made because it was thought that
the fifty-cent charge which merely
lermitted the visitor to the grounds
was unreasonable.

Telegraphers' Strike.
St. Paul, Minn., July 17. The
authorities of the strike of tele
graphers and station agents on the
Northern Pacific has been formally
announced to employes in a circular
issued by President II. B. Perham,
of the Order of Railroad Telegraph
ers, and the p-eneral com mitt.
The circular states that a strike
will be ordered unless the company
settles with the committee, and
contains full directions as to the
conduct of the men.
"When you are notified by your
local chairman that the strike is on
you will turn your board red. set
your semaphores at danger, wheth
er vou have train orders on hand
or not, so if trains proceed, they
will do so at their own risk Also
cut out your telegraph instruments.
Every precaution possible should
be taken to insure the safety ot the
traveling public as well as the prop
erty of the company."
The circular also states that the
Great Northern Railway will not be
allowed to handle traffic that the
Northern Pacific cannot handle on
account of its striking telegraphers.
The telegraphers' committee this
afternoon resumed conference with
General Manager II. J. Horn, of
the Northern Pacific, and with Gen
eral Manager F. E. Ward, ot the
Great Northern. Thei confer
ences are expected to continue sev
eral days before any final adjust
ment or disagreement results.
It Was a Success.
After casting up the final ac
counts St. Louis has found that its
great exposition was a profitable
investment. Not the least gratify
ing feature of the enterprise was
the successful evasion of an un
pleasant aftermath in the form of a
period of financial depression,
apathy and confusion. According
to the officers of the , exposition.
St. Louis has benefited in every
way, and they say this benefit will
be of a permanent character.
bt. Louis establishes a new
world's record in the beauty, scope
and elaborateness of its exposition.
I o Invest nearly X;o,ooo,ooo in a
fair was a daring venture. It had
never been done before and prece
dent had stamped fairs and exposi
tions as uniformly losing proposi
tions. But St. Louis carried it
through, and now, half a year after
the gates closed, it comes up smil
ing with a story of prosperity and
business activity that is unparal-
elled in that city's history. It
speaks volumes for St. Louis, and
the entire west shares in its pride.

A Pair of "Bates."
What is supposed to be the larg
est pair ot shoes ever made in this
country was turned out recently in
a Nashua shoe factory, say the Bos
ton Globe. The size of these shoes
may well be imagined when it is
known that the weight is eighteen
pounds for the pair. Each shoe is
twenty-three inches long and sev
en and one halt inches wide in the
widest place.
Every detail is as carefully at
tended to as in an ordinary first-
class shoe, but because of the enor
mous size it required several weeks
to tnrn them out Special lasts
were made, and nearly all of the
work, except the stitching, which
was done on the usual machinery,
was done by hand.
The vamp of the shoes is made of
the leather known to shoe men as
satin, and the tops are of calf.
The sole and heel are of the best
quality of sole leather. On this
part of the shoes considerable work
was necessary, as all ot the rail
roading on the extension sole was
done by hand, and the treeing and
polishing was also necessarily done
by hand.
As near as can be figured the size
of the shoes is 40 as compared with
the average ordinary man's shoe.
The entire cost ot manufacturing
them was about $50. They were
made for a negress who lives near
Atlanta, who is known for many
miles because ot the size of her feet.

THE HEAT
IS FRIGHTFUL
MANY DEATHS ARE REPORTED
The Hot Wave Extends Over Entire
-01 !.-. Nw York
and 88 In Portland.
Chicago, July S Today the en
tire ceutral Atlantic states are a toi
rid blaze. In this city this morn
ing there were three deaths report
ed as a result of the heat and many
cases of prostration. The ther
mometer registered 90 degrees at
noon. A low humidity was respon
sible for the few fatalities. A
breeze is blowing off the lake which
is modifying and rendering durable
the noonday sun. Yesterday there
were four deaths and 16 prostra
tions.
At New York the hot weather
continues today and up to noon
more than 100 cases of prostrations
had been reported. Late returns
from hospitals show that there have
been ten deaths as a result of the
present hot spell yenterday and to
day. Great suffering is reported
on the east side in the tenement dis
tricts, where most of the deaths
occurred. Today is if anything
warmer than yestert'ay, though the
air is stirred by slight breezes.
To make matters wotse today
1,000 icehandlers employed by the
American Ice company in New
York went out on strike this morn
ing for higher wages and shorter
hours. The men are paid 5 1.50 a
day and claim that during the hot
spell they . are required to work
from a o'clock in the morning un
til 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening.
Nonunion men are being employed
to fill their places, though a partial
ice famine is the resiti.
At Pittsburg the thermometer is
above 90 at noon and three deaths
are reported and several serious
prostrations.
Today is the hottest day of the
year in Philadelphia, the high tem
perature of yesterday being exceed
ed, at noon Two deaths and a
score of prostrations are reported as
a result of the last two days' hot
weather.
Boston, July 18. The most in
tense heat wave of the season
reached New England . today and
caused much suffering in the crowd
ed cities, many prostrations and
two deaths.
Even the islands off the south-
eastern coast did not escape the hot
breath from the west. At Boston,
according to the official thermome
ter, the temperature reached 94.
In the city there was one death
and sine prostrations.
On Monday night the mercury
did not go below 70, and it began
to rise with the dawn. By 10
o'clock it stood at 88. The tem
perature in various parts of the
city, however, was above 90 at the
same hour. The humidity today
was below the normal, and there
was a light breeze. Between 1 and
o'clock there was a sudden jump
of the mercury to 93.
Up to midnight dispatches from
New England points, exclusive of
Connecticut, placed the total num
ber of deaths today from heat at
four. There were ao prostrations.
At Pittsburg up to midnight 13
deaths from heat (includiag six in
fants) have been reported, and in
the county a conservative estimate
puts the number of prostrations at
forty-five.
Sober reflections should arise in
the minds of masculine financiers
when reading that the board of lady
managers of the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition, which discharged
it duties to the admiration of all be
holders, administered its trust so
wisely that nearly thirty thousand
dollars of the one hundred thousand
appropriated by Congress remains
unexpended. Moreover, all the ac
counts are correct. This is in such
happy contrast to the deplorable
muddles of error and insolvency
common in such cases that seasoned
masters of finance must surely take
the hint and let the women manage
the next world's fair and show the
men how to do it, Youth's Companion.
Tried and Found Wanting;.
The Oregonian of last Saturday
says: Back to Omaha starts the
gasoline car of the Southern Paci
fic next week, because it is not
strong enough to climb Oregon's
hills nor large enough for the traf
fic. In a little while its place may
be taken by one or two cars of three
or four times its motive power and
twice its passenger capacity.
Meanwhile residents of the terri
tory that was to be served by the
car are impatient for more trains
and are prodding the Southern Pa
cific. At Forest Grove last Wed
nesday night some 150 of them re
solved, in a public meeting, that
they would be satisfied not with
the one additional train proposed by
the railway company but with two.
But Manager J. P. O'Brien said
yesterday that there would not be
sufficient traffic to keep two new
trains busy; therefore that the
Southern Pacific could not see its
way clear to put on more than one
new train.
Residents of Washington county
say that Manager Calvin and Mana
ger Worthington, who preceded
Mr. O'Brien in control of the rail
road, promised a frequent car ser
vice into Portland. Patiently the
people of llillsboro and Forest
Grove and the farmers of the coun
ty waited for the gasoline car that
was to run back and forth from
Portland every two 01 three hours.
The aver that the frequent service
on the electric line of the Oregon
Water Power & Railway Company
line from Portland into Clackamas
county is proof that a similar ser
vice from Washington county
would build up a corresponding
traffic, especially since the line into
Washington county is an old estab-
ished road.
Officials of the Southern Pacific
point out that steam traffic operates
under conditions dissimilar from
those of electric lines, and that
steam cars cannot be run so often as
electric because of the higher ex
pense of operation. Had the gaso
line car been successful, it would
have been run continuously.
The new gasoline cars which are
to be sent here from Omaha will
have perhaps 200 horsepower,
whereas the present one has but 50.
They will each seat 55 or 60 per
sons. Owing to the small powjr of
the car now here, it cannot pull a
trailer over the heavy grades of
Fourth street, and for its successful
operation a trailer is necessary, be
cause the car has seats for only 21
persons.
The train proposed by the South
ern racihe would leave sorest
Grove shortly after noon, and
would return from Portland at 9 p.
m or thereabouts. Washington
county now has two trains daily
running each way to and from
Portland on the Fourth-street line,
one in the morning and one in the
evening, and one train daily on the
Oswego line, leaving Portland in
the evening and arriving in the
morning.

London, July 18. (Special) A
Japanese Army has been landed
north of Vladivostok and the com
plete envelopment of the fortress is
imminent. The Tokio correspond
ent of the Daily Telegraph wires
' 1 hus Japan carries the war in
to undisputed Russian territory on
the main land. Undoubtedly, too,
a strong Japanese fleet is outside
Vladivostok. Japan's navy has
nothing else to occupy it at the mo
ment.
"The investment of Vladivostok
is regarded here as a strong argu
ment for peace."
Tokio, July 18. (4:30 p. m.)
An officer who has returned from
Port Arthur reports that the extent
of the damage to the sunken Rus
sian ships was lighter than was an
ticipated. It has been known that
the Russians applied explosives
inside the vessels before they were
abandonee! and the resulting dam
ages were expected to be serious.
It has been found, however, that
the vital portions of the ships were
strangely unhurt.
The Bayan, which sustained the
most severe damage, has been tak
en in tow, and the Peresviet is navi
gable with her own engines. Both
of these vessels will soon be brought
here to complete the necessary re
pairs. Even the Pallada, which
sustained the heaviest damage, is
expected to be refloated by the
middle of August find before this
the Retvizan and Pobieda will be
afloat.

"The Roosevelt," in which Cap
tain Robert E. Peary hopes to reach
the north pole, started from New
York on her long voyage last Sun
day. Captain Peary and a party of
guests were on board at the start,
and remained with the ship on her
trip down the bay, but they left her
at the narrows, returning to the
city on a Navy tug. Captain
Peary started Sunday night by rail
for Sydney, Caoe Breton, where he
will join the ship.
A launch bearing a party of ex
cursionists attempted to run along
side of the ship when she was un

her.
"The Roosevelt'' was saluted by
