While in Portland on Saturday

While in Portland on Saturday
the Editor visited the North Pa
ciic Exposition, now open at Port
land, Oregon. 1t is, without
doubt, taking the building and the
exhibits contained therein, the
finest exposition ever held on the
Pacific coast. Here we find ex-
hibits of every class, machinery in
motion, artisans at work, flower.
painting and fancy work display;
products of the soil; trees and
woods; furs, coals-in fact, almost
everything one can conceive of, is
grouped together under one roof,
in tasteful display. Among the
attractions presented are Liberia
tbs famous band, composed of fifty
instruments. They make perfect
music, and the precision with which
this aggregation of men keep time
and accent under this leaders, d.
rection is wonderful. Liberati as
soloist has few equals, and the
band can fill the vast building with
the volume Of their music. Sat
urday was Newspaper day." and
the Association Committee took
in charge the score of Editors
present, and did all in their power
to give them a favorable impress
ion of Portland and the Exposi-
ton to carry home. First, under
the direct guidance of L. Samuels,
Of the West Shore, the party Wis
tied Oswego, and saw the process
Of extracting and the manufacture
Of iron. The U. S. Fish Commits
sion Steamer Atbatross was next
inspected, with its museum Of la
beled wonders of the deep, and the
appliances for bringing the same to
the surface. Lunch at the EXPOSE
ton. Then an hour Of Liberati's
melody, when the Press gang were
taken for a two-honr's drive over
the city and its beautiful city Park,
after which we were landed at orr
hotels for supper. At9.30 O'Clock,
the visitors and members of the
Portland Press, sat down to ban
quet in the Exposition building
and the assembly was engaged in
toast-makino or responding, in adj
dition to the discussion Of the en-
trees until midnight. Portland is
a city of beautiful homes and bust
ness blocks, and this fact is i'm
pressed upon the visitor after but
a short drive, though it could be
extended day with profit. No
doubt many of our readers, will
take the occasion of visiting Port
land and its Exposition during the
month Of it's existence.
