PORTLAND Asp mna EXPOSITION.

Among many thousands OF people from
all over tho Northwest, DaMocRAr man
has just vitited Portland and her exposl-
ton. Portland Is displaying permanent
growth not surpassed, II equalled, by any
city, Oh the coast, and she Is now speaking
for the future by the erection OF grand
buildings that will be credit to city of
several hundred thousand people. The
exposition Is simply a great panoramic
scene of portland's Wholesale and retail
trade, manufacturing interests and natural
resources, with few excellent sldeshows
for the remainder of the Northwest, In
the shape OF agricultural, mineral and
other well gotten up exhibits. II Ia great
aggregation, and though an old exposition
goer remarks that ait Il Just the same as
last year." Il, "all the same" eoniers great
credit on the men who present Il to the
public. II Is not necessary to 20 Into de-
tails. You have probably heard the rattle
of the machinery, seen the varied displays,
gazed on Venus at her birth In the art
gallery, and heard the famous Zapadores.
Visitors to the exposition almost generally
remark that there IL no comparison be
tween Liberatti and this band, though lit
tie Is read In the papers to this effect.
Nothing strikes the Americas like fami.
liar tune aud one even likes to hear brass
instruments occasionally talk English.
The exposition has been we'll managed
and one would have TO walt for the
Words fair to bee anything better.
