GREAT
CIRCUS
PARADE
Three Miles Of Show and Every fea-
ture of Il Pleasing
My, what a parade!

My, what a parade!
In the circus way that was the
finest thing ever seen in this city.
The Ringing Brothers have every
thing else put off the boards-and
then some.
over 500 horses, a great herd of
elephants, camels to spare, strange
beasts in open dens, s12S6 people,
and hundreds of golden floats and
tableaux vans passed the thousands
on the sidewalks in a column at
least two miles long.
A calliope footed Everybody
Works But Father" cathedral
chimes rang out "Auld Lang Syne"
and mounted band added march
music to the strange melody. There
we're five other bands, one clown or
ganization that murdered opus 924
of John Philip Sousa to the delight
OF the spectators-also a Colonial
Yankee Doodle drum and fife corps
IL powdered wigs and George Wash
ington hats, and a barbarian reed
and tom-tom orchestra that suggest
ed the streets of Cairo.
The parade was led by troupe of
buglers and a golden band chariot
drawn by "a white horses. Later
on there was a "hltch" OF "a ponies,
no larger than Kansas Jack rabbits.
There were any number of ten-horse
teams, and many beautiful thorough
breds driven tandem. IL was a dis
play of horse1esh that devotees of !
the track and stable well might rave |
over.
The Ringing Brothers are not |
sparing Of goldleaf and paint, and
there Is a freshness and brilliancy
about their pageant that charms
And their people are a superior class
Of men and women. Even the chill
iren have a dignity about them not
seen with other circus displays. And
such costumes! They were rich and
picturesque, and, from their appear
'nce, might never have been worn
before today. The performance Is
low in progress. II is not to be
lealt with in detail, It is too great
'or that. The only thing to do is to
punch the whole business together

'arth." And that's what II is. The

Bids To BE Returned.

Az the meeting OF the commission
on the school for the feeble minded,
held Monday afternoon, II was de-
cided that all bids for the construc-
tion of the building should be re-
turned unopened. This was on ae-
count OF difficulty in obtaining a
title to the land. NJ. p. Dennis who
holds a lease on part OF the land
selected for the site, refuses to give
up his rights. and litigation would
probably be the result In the
meantime all the land to which the
title is undisputed will. for the pres
ent, be used by the penitentiary
management.

Exasperated by what he regards as
the dllatory tactics of the North
western Long Distance Telephone
Company, in failing to heed his warn
ing to ask the city council for an or

the long distance telephone business
of this city, Mayor Rodgers last ev-
ening elected to take matters in his
own hands, and, assisted by City
Marshal Gibson and a lineman of
the Portland General Electric Com

Company's wires and
put the company out of business, at
least temporarily, or until the COM
