cent Of it's gross receipts for the week
ct both the ST. Paul and Minneapolis
houses to the fund. 1t was a neat, sub
stantial Offering, the full iberaiity of
which will be appreciated Monday when
checks aggregating S421.4 8 will be sent to
the Minneapolis and St. Paul committees.
The Minneapolis house being the larger
NAV give the Minneapolis committee
larger check than St. Paul, or the sum
may be divided. In either case the fact
that the company contributes over -Four
Hundred Dollars cannot but be appre-
icated by the patriotic people of the Twin
Cities, as well as the boys themselves
when they hear of it on their return.
The sum given by the Clothing company
does not, however, represent all that it
has cost them to be liberal, for it must
be remembered the houses advertised
freely and that is an expense of some
magnitude. The openhandedness of the
| Palace in the Twin Cities, however, must
bring considerable satisfaction to the
| managers in the proof OF the fact that
during a week which was not good for
business, because of excessive heat and
other climatic conditions, the company
could take in over 81, 900 through their
cash sales.
RETURNS TO COME.
Very nearly twenty of those enlisted in
the work have failed to make a return
TO the committee. OF this numbr the ma
jority are women who took badges for
sale day before yesterday. The fund
SIS collected will be very close to $1,000,
which with the assistance from the city,
will make up the $500 required to bring
the boys home. AS soon as the commit
tee has gone over the records it is quite
likely that an effort will be made to sell
az additional LEGO badges to meet the ex-
penses of the entertainment of the boys
on the morning of their arrival here, and
to meet the needs of the sick. This, how
ever, has not been definitely decided upon.
1t has been proposed and will be dis
cussed at a meeting which will be held at
the Commercial club today.
TWO MEETINGS TOMORROW.
Two meetings will be held Monday, one
at the Commercial club, at which the
mayors of the outside towns interested
will be present, and the other at the gov
errors office. At the latter meeting con-
tracts for the transportation of the regt-
nlent will be let III the governors call
for bids he has asked that they be sub
mitted by Monday morning, and when the
meeting is called to order they will be at
hand The mayors will also be present at
this meeting which will quite likely be
brief one, as the railroad companies will
doubtless arrange among themselves to
divide the business at some uniform fig
ure. The contract price will not be far
from $50 per man, il is thought.
Gov. Lind's party will probably leave
Tuesday night with the Commercial club
delegation 1t is definitely known that
the governor, Adjt Gen. Lambert and
Capt. Fisher will go as representatives
of the state, and Mayor Gray and Mayor
I<iefer and the mayors of other towns
Interested For the Commercial club at
least seven will go. Those who will greet
the regiment upon its return are DR.. Ru-
doph Schffman, Oar F. Reese, Jesse A.
Gregg, J. e. Meyers, c. B. Bowlby and
p. J. Schaub. Aid. Knauft and Assembly
men Nelson and Kirk will probably repre-
sent the city government.
PLANS FOR THE TRIP.
A meeting of those who are to make
the trip will be held at the Commercial
club this afternoon, when plans for the
trip will be talked over. Those who de-
eide to go from Portland by water will
have to leave this evening in order to
make connections with the coast line
of steamers. 1t is likely that several of
the party will take this route. A dele

| ceptance of an arrangement for the en-
