ELKS TO THE CARNIVAL4 Portland Lodge of Elks will hold a car. nival this year from Sept 1 to 13. This carnival was to have been given by the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club, but, at a meeting of the directors, it waa de cided that they were in no position to give a carnival in the fall. As soon as this be cam known the ks took the project up and Governor-Elect George E. Chamber, lain was appointed the head of a commit mlttee to start tns work."" Undoubtedly this carnival will be a sue cess, as tne Elks comprise representative men of the city In all walks of life, en thusiastic and active, who will give force and push to the enterprise. These Qual ities characterised their carnival two years ' ago, which ; was a decided sue. cess. The railroads -will aid in such manner as they have always done in bringing to the city people from the var tous portions of the surrounding coun try. t" A particular element of success will be the fixing of the same dates as the pro posed club carnival. These dates will not Interfere or compete with any simi lar enterprise which may be carried on in different portions of the state. TONIGHT'S CONCERT.

It certainly s a- matter of credit to those who bad the .arrangements for the Fourth of July In their hands that they carried out their part of the program despite the threat ening showers of Jupiter Pluvius. It is a credit to the vast crowds that thronged the streets that they did not pay any at tention to the rain shower that fell, while the procession was en route. Those who ' took an active part In making the parade a success by their participation are en titled to all praise. Along the line of march gaily-colored bunting and flags were everywhere In evidence. The horses, as they always do, caught the Spirit of tha occasion, and proudly pranced in step to tha inspir ing music. ' The parade was under the direction of Grand Marshal J. P. Shaw. There were four divisions, the military', floral, civlo and' manufacturers' dlsptay. The Third Regiment, O. N. G., made up the first In the! second division were flower-bedecked vehicles of various sorts,, includ ing carriagea, automobiles, eto. As the flowers, probably, of the mulclpal ity.

W., tne Letter Carriers land their band, the Woodmen of the World, and other organizations.

An immense crowd gathered at the Mar- quam Grand Theatre in the afternoon to attend the patriotic exercises. The .na tional colors were everywhere In evidence, and the portraits of George Washington, of Lincoln and Grant of McKlnley and Roosevelt were in, evidence. The president of the day. General Sum mers, introduced Mayor Williams, as presiding officer. He make a few re marks and then announced the order of exercises on the program.

' It would ba hard to estimate just how many thousand people gathered on Sev enth "street near 'the Plggott caatle last night to sea the fine display of fireworks discharged in honor of the national Day of Independence. On Park, West Park, Seventh and other streets the curbing was utilised for seats, in the park, at the, foot of the hill, many were seated oil camp'stoola Nearly everybody had an umbrella, as an Oregon mist fell dur ing the evening. The crowd was patient despite the chilly night air. The Portland Railway Company and the City ft Suburban did a roaring business. The two uooths which supplied ice cream and oold drinks might have done a much better trade If they had had an annex for hot drinks. . The display from the hill was certainly a magnificent sight and with the appear, anoe of each set of fireworks loud ex clamations of delight were heard at every hand. Tha heavens were bombarded and tha sky ahot full of holes with Roman candiea and - sky rockets. At various points along the precipitous sides of the hill were numerous fires of blue and red, in alternation. The profile of the mil thus revealed, in glowing colors through the sombre shades of the night presented a most picturesque appearance. Illuminated paper balloons careened in their graceful but uncertain flight' through the sky and balls of varl-colortxl fire ex ploded In graceiul forms against the background of blue. Fountains of fire added to tha splendid spectacle. ' The set pieces attracted much favorable comment. In the -rst the legend, "Wel come All," appeared in letters of glow ing light The familisr features of the Father of His Country, In heroic propor tions, was, the third number. There wasn't tha slightest doubt of the pre vailing enthusiasm for the 1906 Centen nial when.thej words. "Let us all pull for the 1905 Exposition" were flashed out in letters of fire. The display was very creditable. YACHT RACES. In the .afternoon the Oregon Yacht Club's races were interesting. Wolff's Swallow captured the first prise, $25; Todd's Skylark, second, $15; Kennett Beebe's Coquette, third, $10. The boats started from the Morrison street bridge, and sailed seven miles over a three-cornered course. AQUATIC RACEB. ' The aquatlo sports ' yesterday wera pulled oft under admirable conditions. Thousands of people thronged the Mor rison brtdga or obtained' commanding views of the river from .wharves. The Willamette was free from current and there was an almost entire absence of wind. All races started or finished at the Mor rison bridge, the course being southward. The judges were Messrs. Jorgensen, Gils an and Brewster. . Starter, J. New man; time-keeper and clerk, H, E. Judge. The races: : : !xnA ' Senior four-oar shell, mile And a half, with turn Won by Montgomery, bow; Stiles, 2; Ball, t; Lamberson, stroke. Time, 10 minutes 16 1-6 seconds.

Time, 2 minutes 42 seconds; Frank Brothers, sec ond; Ball and Stiles, third. Other start ers were .Ormandy-Chausenlus; urroll Burkhart Ball and Stiles secured third place by a great spurt, and would likely have won out had the course been 100 feet longer. In the singles Gloss won 'from Lamberson. The 100 yard swimming race between Mackle and Burkhart was a tie. tatlon against Chinese in that city. All storekeepers, grocers, saloon men and others employing Chinese labor will be placed upon the "unfair list" The cru sade will first be devoted against grocers and saloon men who employ Chinese or handle goods made by the cooliea At tentlon will be called by the circular to the fact that the so-called Chinese ex clusion act recently enacted by Congress Is a fraud and a delusion, and' that, in stead Of excluding.

(Journal Special- Service.) TACOMA, July 5. Secretary W. A. Reld of the Skggway Y. M. C. A. has re turned from the loiser Yukon, where he personally talked with h. Yukon In dians, who claim lo have discovered ah immense petrified ship near the top of a mountain, 65 miles north of Rampart hear Porcupine River. The Indians de scribed the ship so minutely to Reld and were so earnest about the matter that, he is folly convinced they told the truth. He Intends returning to Alaska later In th'e season to organise an expedition which the Indians will lead to Porcupine River. He expects that the military of ficers of the Yukon will detail a squad of soldiers to .accompany the expedition. The story told to Reld by the Indians is similar to that told IL F. Llschke, ed itor of the Koyukuk News. They found a great . boat lying partly on Its side. When asked to describe its size, they traced its dimensions on the ground, showing a length of 1200 feet. They said that everything connected with the boat was petrified. Inside was a sAfe or chest, which they rolled out and down the mountain side, using levers and skids. They found the chest waa hollow, but wera unable to open it Several of the Indians declared that the ship could be none other than Noah's ark. Others of the party felt It was something connect ed with the Holy Spirit, and tHat they should not touch it further. All of the Indiana are anxious to guide a party of white men there.

Several hundred cords of slabwood are being; thrown away dally as a result of the fuel teamsters' strike. It has accum mulated at the mills so rapidly that the limited number of teams which tho Bon-fleld-Veysey Company has been able to keep at work have been unable to handle It. The commodity la finding; its way to the sloughs and' other dumping places where It will be allowed to go to waste. The sawmills are doing; all they can for the company, asslstlng.it to get men and quite frequently send their own employes to deliver wood. The strikers are con- fldent that the boycott system will be the means of bringing the company to terms. They visit all the alabwood customers. explain the situation to them and request them not to patronize the company. By this method they expect to secure the concessions they ask. Mr. Banfleld aaya that he will never concede them anything and will have no more to do with them. Both aides are determined as ever, -and the end of the struggle la not yet In view. In the mean time the big- bulk of the slabwood out put, the cheapest fuel ln the city, la going to waste. v.

Among the latest additions to the Port land postofSce is what is known as a Dolphin Flyer back-stamping machine. It registers the date and time of arrival of the piece of mall' matter, upon which it Is . operated. The motive force is elec tricity, and it has the capacity of 30,000 letters per hour. Another addition Is a letter-opening con trivance for the use of the postmaster, which WW! open 1,500 letters a day To open so many by hand Is a terlous matter, and the time heretofore devoted' to the purpose can be more profitably employed. The five new local sub-stations already mentioned by The Journal, will soon be supplied with .a complete stock of money order and registering stationery. The appropriation recently authorised by Congress for the purpose of enlarging the Portland postofflce Is not all immedl ately available. There Is about $25,000 on ly that can at present be utilized. Plans for the proposed Improvements will be gotten under way, which la about all that can be done at present. Under Jhe new contract for carrying mails to and from the Union depot, every thing seems to be working satisfactory.
