" It 1 a Question of dollars and cents that must be considered In selecting- a site for the Lewis and Clark Fair. The " matter ot scenic beauty Is not to be con lldered as primal In this connection, The point of acenlo beauty will still - be available, ho matter where the Fair ro. And Portland must have them to Show to visitors, as well as the Fair it Self. " Gate receipts, therefore, constitute an essential consideration and must ba taken Into account if the Lewis and Clark dl ' rectors are to select wisely when they vote upon the Important question tonight Hawthorne Park offers the best facilities . for ths easiest getting to a fair grounds. Therefore. Hawthorne Park Is the best site for the Fair. It meets the requlre- menu of being where trafflo may flow -te Jt along the lines of least resistance. The street car lines may carry people there one car per minute from, say Third and TamhlU, which would amount to (000 per hour. Cheap, but substantial ferries could be built, on to run each from the foot of Taylor,-Salmon and Main streets, each making three round trips an. hour, each boat carrying 2000 people a trip. This J would carry 18,000 "people an hour In tht manner. .Thus, by street car lines and ferries, 14,000 people per hour may be carried to : the Hawthorne Park, which would meet every requirement, as to transportation facilities, j ". Furthermore, a wrong Impression has been In the minds of the people regarding " tna proposition to sell 85 lots of 100 by , permanent park. It has been thought that this was required by the Hawthorne '.'....., .... ,( Park advocates; but thI 18 not true- Not one rod of ground need be bought, If the city does not want to buy it for " permanent park purposes. The East ' Side people oiler the 10 acres in any event. for permanent uses as a park, and part of Ladd's tract 1b avails, ble, so much as ' is needed, to give commodious grounds, . free of cost, excepting the payment of the " taxes, practically nothing. . Let K not be forgotten that It is es sential to provide for the gate receipts : being Just as largo as possible. And that scenic beauty In connection with the Fair Should be secondary to the financial con siderations. Furthermore, that in scenic . beauty, the various other locations pro posed will remain more attractive even - than they would be were they effaced by the work of levelling Incident to the con struction of a great exposition. EASTERN OREGON'S GREATNESS - Governor-elect Chamberlain, in bis ad dress at the Gladstone Chautauqua, on lwls and Clark Lay, said: "Until I bad made an Intended journey across the eastern half or the state, I bad not realized the vast resources and great possibilities of that region." -,: Mr. Chamberlain in these words said what the majority of Western Oregon people would say were they to say what is true. The people of the Willamette Val ley have not ret readied the certainty of the tutor that awaits Eastern Oregon -and parts of Eastern Washington. That l really a great region, great in Its present productiveness, and great In wbst it ' promises. ,. Already, the grain that pours its flood through Portland each rear add materially to the . wealth of the stats, sad forms a considerable por tion ot be,bread supply.of the country. There are Immense quantities of live stock annually sold la the packers, Ttere are tralnload of fruit. . There are In , .' , ' . i creasing dairy , products. There are mines. There is timber. There is every- thing that Oregon anywhere has er pro- duces. ' Yet, as Mr. Chamberlain said, - the peo- pie here are accustomed to look upon that region as given over to sagebrush and Jackrabbtts, Inhabited by cowboys and Indians, and, susceptible of develop ment only by the legerdemain of some one who has not yet appeared to pronounce tils exorcUm of evil spirits and conjuring of the good ones. , ' Without Eastern Oregon, Portland would be sadly lacking In business with which to grow and become the great city it is destined to be. Without Eastern Oregon, Portland would not b a city of 100,000 people, ' with promise that it will become one of half a. million before many decades elapse. It is demonstrative of the breadth ot observation possessed by the 'Governor- elect, that he has come to a realisation of these facts. It Indicates that he will broaden the scope of things at Salem, and permit his vision to range over ter ritory larger than that comprised within the limits cf Hhe Willamette Valley. ABROGATING AGREEMENTS. As The Journal has frequently set forth, the Chicago strike of freight-handlers Drought to the front the question as to the responsibility of the labor union. The after situation there Is one that involves this veryolnt It Is said that the em ployers are desirous that the sympathetic strike be done away, and that they rea son that so long as It be used by the labor forces It will operate to Induce the abrogation of agreements made by unions not directly, concerned in the utriie. One cannot get away from this ques tion. In the discussion of labor matters. It Is crucial. If the union is to be the instrument with which the laborer Is to fight his battles and fight them to success, there must be forae sort of plan whereby the union is to be placed in a position of legal responsibility. The employer Is so placed already. He may be sued. He may be called Into court, and compelled - to answer if he violate an agreement that has taken the form of a legal contract, written, verbal Of implied. Let It be noted that one just cause for complaint against many corporations dur ing recent years has been that they have been abla too often to elude responsibility for disasters and losses of life caused In i some instances by too great parsimony and inadequate facilities provided under a too rigid regime of cutting off expenses. Such Instances are numerous, such as the New Tork tunnel horror, and a mul titude of others. But, In the main, the employer Is legal- ly responsible, and the union must be the same if It Is to be the means whereby the laborers are to win their victory. THE PROPOSITION IN CHICAGO THAT UNIONS SHALL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO ABROGATE AGREEMENTS WITH EMPLOYERS in order to suable the joining with sympathetic strikes, is not to be supported. It Is subversive of all justice and fairness. OREGON BOYS FOR PROFESSORS Charles A. Redmond, Oregonlan. has been elected to the chair of history an economics at the Ashland State Normal School. He Is a native of Yamhill County, Is 26 years old, and Is an alumnus of the University of Oregon, at Eugene. He Is one of many bright young men who have been placed in professorships ot Oregon institutions and who promise to honor their alma maters, their state and them selves. There will be general indorsement of this plan of filling chairs in Oregon edu cational institutions with Oregon men. It will even be granted that oftentimes atlvlty shall overwelgh slightly greater ability on the "part of an applicant from another state. However, there may be too radical an ppllcatlon of this, and it may operate to the detriment of the systems ot edu cation that are maintained here In this state. It Is not desirable that all teachers In Oregon schools be men and women who are native here. It Is good that oc casionally someone come from elsewhere, to Infuse new blooa ana inculcate new Ideas into the conduct of the schools. Indeed, It is this very lack of provincial ism that makes this Nation great. It the lack of lines of demarkation to make state separate from state to too great an extent, that creates homogen eity, and makes for solidity. It will be by a compromise between the advocates of employing only Oregon-born people in the schools of the state, and those who would always be Importing from the East os-other Western states, it only by such a compromise that the ideal results will be attained. TRACY MUST BE CAPTURED, Tracy must be captured, dead or alive. If law Is to be respected, If outlawry is to be less than heroism in the eyes ot the people, the convict "must be brought to the gallows, or shot down as he attempts to escape from his pursuers.

U-adency. towards maudlin sentimentality; ' h sympathy with hi bloody career, argh I that the good of society demands his destruction. It la amaxlne to hear at times and from people of refinement sentiments that are In pal'latlon of the red-handed crimes now charged to Tracy. It Is unthinkable that men and women of good morals will intimate that such a vllllan ought to go free. Tet, such things are heard frequently, and from people who ought to know bet' ter. Tracy's crimes and the pursuit thus far fruitless, have become paramount Is. sues here upon the Pacific Coast. They call for-determination on the part of the officers, and demand that executives ex hlblt no parsimony In providing funds to keep up the chase. The very structure of human society Is endangered by such Incidents. In deed,"" the Tracy affair goes beyond the mere Incident. It becomes of vast 1m portance upon the future of the Coast communities, which have progressed away from the primitive Ideas of law and order that, were born of the limits tlons met by the early settlers. Penlten tlarles must be secure places In which criminals may be kept. And when men escape therefrom, they must be pursued to the end that they and others learn that law Is higher than individuals, and he who violates law will suffer dire pen alUes. GENERAL SMITH'S DISGRACE, Let no man speak of the American Army any word that does not upheld Its honor, and indicate admiration and re ajiect for the men who carry the flag. Let no man do aught that will smirch the- honor of that organisation that holds the love of the Nation. Therefore, let General Jacob H. Smith, guilty of what was reprehensible, and what brought shame upon that Army, go from the service, and let his name be stricken from the rolls. Let his expert ence be a warning to all men that they must do nothing that will not uphold the honor and reputation of the defend ers -of the flag. It was not less love for the Army that prompted the trial and censure of Gen eral Smith. Rather, It was deeper love and greater respect for the military that urged that' practices should be stopped that were not calculated to dig nify the Army in the eyes of the people here at home and In the archipelago. It was fortunate that the decision of the court-martial was not rendered dur ing the time Congress was In session, for then had fnome of the firebrands made of themselves, and brought further Ignominy upon their names. It was good for the Democratic party that those few radicals had not the opportunity to exploit their detests- ble reflections upon the boys who have been carrying the Stars and Stripes over the plains of Luzon and through the swamps of Samar, It is for the Army that General Smith was tried, ana it Is for the Army that President Roosevelt writes his name In signature of a document that dismisses from service an officer whose course was sure to lower the standard of humanity and bring upon the name of our people the never-dying hatred of the people of the Islands. The dismissal of General Smith from the Army for wrong-doing as a command ing officer in the Philippines, proves that both the factions In Congress were wrong; that Is. U . we accept President Roose velt's final action as founded upon Just findings of the court-martial. It's an other instance of a dispute over the pro nunciation of either, and the Irishman coming In with 'ayther." At any rate, it demonstrates that It Is not all of wis dom to be a Republican leader on the floors of Congress, nor all of the opposite to be on the other side. In the defeat of the brilliant Spooner of Wisconsin in the Republican state con vention, the cause of primary' election legislation triumphed. And If that be true, as Indicated In the dispatches, then will it but again prove that often men of less ability may, do more for the people than those of larger powers. De sire to do good' is essential, quite as es sential as the potency so to do. It will require Ingenious reasoning to refuse the $1500 reward for Merrill's body. dead or olive, to the woman who has gone to Salem to claim the money. He certalnley Is dead, and it was not nom inated In the bond that the taker ot the reward wes himself or herself to do the kiting.

And now, dragged Into the light of day or, rather, such light as penetrated Into the grimy darkness he stood and grinned like a detected schoolboy at the little knot of firemen who bad ferreted htm out of retreat . Old Peters, . the boatswain, who had gone below to investigate, pushed his cap far back on his head and combed hi grizzled beard with -a meditative Btrokv of the hand as ho regarded the stowaway. What should they do with him? The im mortal Dick, If hs bad been present, would have decided promptly and em phatically, "Wash him!" For ha cer tainly needed It The layer of tan which had spread over his scraggy face was capped by an additional film of coal grime, and the whites of the fellow's eyes, as be looked around him with an affected easy, devil-may-care expression. were the only distinguishable marks in his features. 'I've 'arf a mini to turn the hose on Mm," said the boatswain, as he regarded the object of Interest that stood mute before him. But eventually he decided to take his quarry alone to the captain just as he had been discovered. He was drag. ged up on deck no, not dragged exactly, for there was some Indefinable touch of distinction about the, man despite his gro tesque appearance that made itself felt to his rough captors and they led him quietly, almost respectfully, Into the cap tain's presence. The Interview turned principally upon the unknown's ability to work his pass age, now that then was no means of get ting rid of him until they touched at one of the West Indian ports. On that point the stowaway, speaking for the first time and with eagerness, jjave an ample as surance.

It doe in' t matter to anybody." And he looked at the captain with eyes that meant he had said all he Intended to say on these points. It so happened that they were short. handed enough in the engine-room that run, and the captain turned him over to the burly, prowling Scotch engineer, who did not seem to regard him with any great favor. "Taffy," as he was called, dis appeared below, and succeeded within an hour In completely reversing: the engine ers opinion.

And as hs gazed wistfully after the merry Innocent little creature the "apple" In his bare throat' moved as if with a gulp. Ay, perhaps he could have told a tale if he had chosen. Every evening after that hs slipped away from the engine-room at the sams hoar, and looked anxiously out along the deck. The child was nearly always there. Sometimes she smiled up at the greasy watching face as she went past, and Taffy carried that smile below with him. wrapped Op in some odd corner of bis heart The steamer had run into St Pierre, and was lying snugged up close to the shelving beach. They were to sail again next day. and it was a busy night on board, Cargo had to be unloaded and fresh freight shipped from the barge's alongside Taffy, being an "odd man," ' had been put on the donkey engine, which he work ed steadily throughout the evening. Many a time, while waiting for the word to "heave," his eye turned restlessly to ths distant summit of Mont Pelee, towering high up there in the darkling heavens. The huge mountain was growling -and rumbling ominously, and there was a strange, lifeles lull in the air, like that which Betokens an approaching thunder clap. It was far Into the night before he was released from his post and free to turn in for a few hours. Heavy and weary, he tumbled Into his bunk, and was soon fast asleep. What was It that woke him? A strange moaning Sound coming from the land broke on his ears. He sat up in his bunk. Something was about to happen. lie felt the mysterious, unknown calami. ty coming. The air seemed to shiver and then to stand stIU. A flash, mors vivid and) blind ing than the lightning followed, and then It seemed to him as If all the machinery In the world all that he had ever seen or handled had beert collected In one spot and had exploded at the same instant. For one breathless second he sat there in his bunk, staring wtftfeyed and open- mouthed. The next he was oh the floor. as If he had been hurled there. He dashed up on deck, whence screams ag onized screams reached him! iHis Bhipmates, passengers and crew were running madly about there. And no wonder. Taffy ran also, but his eyes were searching frantically through the fiery deluge. The child the child! He found her found her screaming and panic-stricken under the bridge with her little ha nd prrased to her nostrils to shut out the deadly, suffocating fumes. He picked her up, snuggle her to his breast. and ran again. The burning hail beat upon his bent back, the fire in the air scorched and shriveled him, but still he ran. Down he plunged far down Into the body of the ship, where the blighting fumes had not penetrated and the Are from the sky could not reach them. And there, In some dark comer, he fell When the Intrepid rescuers who even tually saved the pitiful remnant of the crew explored the hold of that steamer they found a man a man who had evi dently been In his bunk when the fire smote the ship lying dead there. But underneath that -scarred and blackened body there was a living, breathing child. And so he perished. in the official list of those who lost the Ir lives on board the steamer he was rated as "One Unknown. HINTS TO WOMEN STILL IN HIGH, FAVOR. White pique, duck and linen gowns are always popular, and 'this season, in spite of the myrald new styles In cotton gowns, are as fashionable as ever. It may not be so smart to wear shortwalsts and sep arate skirts as to wear a gown the waist and skirt of which are of the same ma terial, but with the white waists the fact that the skirts, are different, pro vided the skirts are white. Is never no ticeable. THE MORNING VEIL. The use of crepe for mourning veils is becoming less every day, and in summer the crlnkley fabric Is scarcely seen. For widows or other women wearing deej mourning it is the fancy at present wear a short veil of fine grenadine or gauze, falling in graceful folds at the oacjc ana draped on a bonnet frame of light weight edged with a narrow band of crepe. A ' bow of crepe adorns the front or the bonnet. THB SUMMER CURTAINS.
