He Is DEIIeHTED.-Here Is the other
side, in a letter from E. NJ Waite, of Sa-
Salem, to friend there: Expenses here
are light We get meals for from twenty
i've to fifty cents, and nice rooms at one
dollar each per day; no jam; no trouble to
get around. The grounds are 50 large that
the thoroughfares are nomore crowded than
on the state fair grounds. Everything is
lovely. Nothing In my life or in yours ever
equaled it. and you miss the opportunity Of
your life if you do not come. The weather
Is hot and dry. Last night we were on the
fair grounds and witnessed the illumination
which takes place each Wednesday and
Saturday evening. Just think offifty thou
sand people under thousands of electric
lights with the finest bands in the world;
fountains playing and throwing water In all
colors. Oh. it is past all description. So
are the fair and the ground. No Oregonian
can ever conceive Of its beauty, and any
attempt at description would be useless. :"
