PORTLAND CROWDS
BREAK ALL RECORDS

itors in the city than its people ever
have been called on to entertain at

rush of Festival visitors at a pace
that the City of Roses never has
known before Boats and electric
lines have struggled with the task Of
handling the unprecedented throngs
while the hotels and other places for
lodging and entertainment have been
strained TO their capacity.
In all Portland's history there never
has been such a representation of dis
tinguished guests as there are in the
city today at the apex of the carnival
glory.
The great Hudson-F Fulton celebra-
tion held in New York in 1909 is rep
resented by its executive manager,
\. II. Stoddard, who declares that
the Rose Festival commands a place
among the foremost celebrations OF
the world. The great "Made-in-Can-
ada" exposition, which will be held
in Vancouver, b. c., in a couple OF
weeks, is represented by its president
C. S. Douglas, who says he has never
seen anything to approach the Fes-
tival attractions.
The International Apple Show Is

that the law in regard to salaries and
extra compensation for them is very

This apparent shortage, if any. and

Newport Will Celebrate

The committee in charge of soliciting
funds for the celebration of the Fourth
of July at Newport has been busy the
past week and has met with good sue
cess. raising about 5000 among our busi-
ness men for the purpose of having a
ronsing celebration. A. R. Tiss has been
chairman of the committee, and was
largely instrumental in making its work
successful.
Last evening a meeting of those inter-
ested was held, at which further ar
srangements were started and committees
appointed to continue the work of prep
aration. DR.. O. G. Nelson was solicited
to take an active part in the work and
has consented to do so.
A varied list of entertainments for our
anticipated visitors is being arranged,
including two ball games, one of them
between Newport and Spirit Lake, and
the other between two teams from
neighborIng towns. The celebration
will conclude with dance and display
of fireworks at night.
Newport has the reputation of doing
things right. and in this instance will do
its best to provide royal and continuous
entertainment for the public. Our ex-
cellent train service will give an oppor-
tunity for people to attend from all di-
rections.

The report does not indicate that there
has been any graft in connection with
the administration of the offices, but
that most of the trouble seems to have
come from following the methods of
predecessors without taking the precau-

methods. Anumber of the officers have
already turned into the county treasury
the amounts demanded from them.

There has been considerable discus
sion as to the matter of where 1910 taxes
should be paid. The following is the
portion of the county law covering that
point:
"Section 8. Thdtaxes levied before the
creation of Pend Oreille county shall be
collected by the officers of Stevens coun-
ty, but Pend Oreille county shall be en-
titled TO receive, and Stevens county will
pay to Pend Oreille county, the amount
of real property taxes heretofore i'm
posed and not collected upon the real
property falling within the boundaries
of Pend Oreille county. Stevens county to
have and retain all the personal property
taxes on the tax rolls, without regard to
which county such property may be in
after division, as compensation for the
cost of collection of all the taxes"
From this it will be seen that all taxes
levied up to this time must be paid to
tho Stevens county treasurer, and the
Pend Oreiiie county treasurer will col
lect no taxes until the 1911 levy is due.
