C0NDENN RIGHT OF Way.
Portage Railway at Cello May Vel
Be Reality.

Active work looking to the con-
domination of right of way across
the o. R. & N. Co.'S property for the
state portage railway has been sus-
pended during the summer vacation,
says special to the Oregonian from
Salem. Attorney General Crawford
will be home from a hunting eXpedi-
ZION in the mountains tomorrow. and
it is expected that he will then begin
preparations for condemnation
suit. The members of the State
Board Of Portage Railway commits
sioners have done all they can do
until a right of way has been secur-
ed, and since the O. R G n. Co. has
refused to grant room for the port
age road, the right must be secured
by suit, if at all.
Engineer A. E. Hammond has been
busy preparing plans and specifca-
tons showing the location and size
CT each cut and fill and all other de-
tails of the work to be done and the
materials to be furnished This part
of the work will be completed long
before the right of way is secured,
except as to the portion Of the road
which cannot be finally located IN
I'll after the suit is finished.
The board has not yet determined
whether it will advertise for bids be-
fore the condemnation suit is ended.
If contractors can bid upon the work
before the road is finally located,
and the bids can as we'll be received
in advance, the board willprObably
not await the termination of the suit.
as all the members of the board are
anxious to lose no time in getting the
work completed as intended by the
Legislature. No active work can be
done until the litigation is completed.
and no contracts could be awarded
so little time would be saved by ad-
vertising before the right of way has
been acquired.
What jury may thilk of the value
OF right of way is Of considerable
| Importance, for if the total cost of
the right of way and of the construc-
ton and equipment fthe road
should be materially in excess of
| the appropriation, the board would
| not make a contract. In that case
all that could be done would be to
submit the proceedings of the board
and report of the cost of construc
| zion to the next legislature for its
consideration.
How long the litigation Will last
! it is impossible to estimate, in view
of 'the laws delays" All the courts,
however, are up with their work,
and it would seem probable that a
suit could be completed before the
| next legislature, which is Low 16
| months away.

Wednesday afternoon the grand pa
rade will be held. Gov. Smith, with his
staff, Mayor McLane and other digni-
taries will occupy a reviewing stand,
and will review the procession. Large
prizes have been offered for the lodges
which send the largest number to par

hopes to have 100000 Odd Fellows in

Wednesday evening a grand concert

Much important business is to be
transacted during the several days the
grand lodge will be in session. There
will be no grand officers elected at the
convention each being elected for a
term of two years, and the election
having been held last year. The re-
port OF Grand Secretary ]. Frank Grant

that about 1890 lodges have been in
stituted in this and other countries. The
order now has members in nineteen
foreign countries, but is stronger in the
United States than in any other part
of the world,
One of the important matters to come
before the meeting is the question of
introducing the order into South Africa.
A plan has been proposed by the Grand

ROSH HASH0NNAH
BEGINS TOMORROW.
Rabbi George SOlOmOns Will Preach
His inaugural Sermon.

Rabbi George SolOmons Will Preach
His inaugural Sermon.
Rev. George Solomons, the recently
chosen rabbi of the Mickva Israel
congregation, will deliver his inaugu-
raj address tomorrow night. The set
ting of the sun tomorrow marks the
beginning of the Hebrew New Year,
or Rosh Hashonnah. The holy day
continues until the setting Of the sun
on the day following.
The services tomorrow night will be
of unusually solemn character, both
the rabbi, the choir and the congrega-
ton seeking to show by their de-
meanor and humbleness the solemnity
of the day and it's holiness. The ritual
service used on these occasions is par
ticularly beautiful and impressive. To-
morrow marks the commencement of
the 5664th Jewish year.
Among the strictly orthodox He
brews, the distinguishing feature of the
New Years day service is the blowing
of the "shofar,' straight horn of an
telope or wild goat. This trumpet call
is designed to call all the people to
worship and to prepare for the Day of
Atonement. 1t is the Jewish belief that
upon this New Years day the deeds
determined.
Rosh Hashonnah, the first day of the
month of Tisri, is really the beginning
of the ten days preparation for Yom
Kippur, or the Day of Atonement. This
is the most solemn and most religiously
significant of all the Jewish holy days,
and is the day of national humiliation.
Yom Kippur is the only fast day COM
manded by the Mosaic law, and on
this day business is suspended, not only
by the strictly orthodox Hebrews, but
by the most liberal as well.
A peculiar form of sacrifice is per-
formed on the day preceding the Day
of Atonement by the orthodox Hebrew
Having provided himself with fowl,
properly slain by q rabbi, he takes II
by the legs and with uplifted hands
swings it nine times over his head and
over those around him and at the
same time pI'ays Jehovah that the sins
they may have been guilty of during
the year may enter into the fowl. The
fowl is then given to the poor with
gift according to his means. In many
of the Hebrew settlements devout wor-
shippers will stand in one spot in the
synagogue from sunset to sunset.
This most mournful of Hebrew holy
days, with it's strict fasting, is sue
ceeded five days later by eight days
of feating and rejoicing, known as
time Of rejoicing and in some places
the people live in beautiful booths
made of shoots of trees. palm branches,
or willows. Hospitality and cordial
ity are everywhere evident and espec-
tally welcome is the stranger, the or
phan, or the widow.
This mode of living and the eight
days feast serves two purposes. 1t is
held partly as a thanksgiving service
for the harvest, a ceremony similar to
the Harvest Home service among many
Christian denominations. 1t is also
designed to serve as a reminder of the
time when their forefathers journeying
through the wilderness towards Ca
naan, dwelt in tents and roughly con-
Structed booths.

States has never had a penny of it,
and when the courts decide the matter,
the United States will not, in my opin-
ion, ever get a penny of it, but the
money will be returned to Capt. Car

none of it ever came from Greene and

Capt Carriers charge, or from the

and asking them to allow the privilege
of printing on their envelopes. A
ready affirmative was given in almost
every case. the merchants appreciat-
ing the advantages of the fair in a
commercial line. and gladly lending
their aid to the management. The Fair
Association will call for the envelopes
and deliver them after they have placed
their advertisement upon them. The
printing is done at the expense of the
fair management.
'Midway'' to He a Feature.
The midway will be one of the
features Of the fair and an effort will
be made to make it the largest mid
way exhibition ever given in the
South. Some of the largest shows in
the country will be secured and among
the various performers will be some of
the most daring in the world. There
will be aerial exhibitions, tumbling
and juggling exhibitions, and vaude-
willie and circus entertainments.
Correspondence has also been started
with some of the managers conducting
villages in which the manner of liv-
ing in various countries is shown.
Nothing definite can be said as yet,
however, as to whether any of these
attractions can be secured. There will
also be exhibitions of wild and unus-
ual animals and several trick animal
shows will furnish amusement for the
little people. Taken as a whole the
midway will be one of the best and
largest ever arranged for a similar
event
The horse-racing will be the other
amusement feature. The list of purses
for the events will be published some
time this week, and it is expected that
the entries will then pour in thick and
fast. Several owners of fast horses
have promised to enter their animals
here and the purse in each event will
be hotly contested. Some very fast
running races are assured and the 9TH
err races will also be of a high stand
