We will here remark parentheti cally
that there were only two things that
marred our pleasure in the least from
Chicago to Portland. The first was
the grabbing of sandwich by some
long-armed cuss at lunch room after
we had pushed our way to the coun-

editresses who had not had anything
to eat for about IL hours. Sand

several charming ladies of that city.
This reception, too, was a brilliant
success and comprised vocal and in

round of social pleasures were at an

Portland, composing the reception
committee, who distributed a lavish
supply of fine fruits, drinkables and
lovely flowers, yet the COURIER edi-

berth in the sleeper or while propped

our indisposition was discovered by
some good Samaritan of the reception

Portland has a population of nearly

which cannot, perhaps, be surpassed
on the globe. She is also the largest

has varied manufacturing interests,
and one of her leading lines of COM

Portland is a wide awake, up-to-

posing business houses and public
buildings besides many elegant pri..
vate residences and their attractive
grounds. There are roses everywhere.
And suchsroses! At a rose show in
Portland we saw several hundred
varieties, some of which measured
E I-2 inches in diameter. We thought
we had seen roses before; we changed
our mind after visiting the rose show
