be attracted by the beautiful scenery oi
the West.
There is no QUESTION in the mipds OF
the men who are in close touch with the
fair, but what it will be a bowling sue
cess.
1.-The fair will start not cent in debt.
The state has appropriated $400 COO
this being enough to put up the build
ings. The corporation has worked
hard, and all are good men from the
president down. Great credit is due
them for the energy, zeal and business
judgment thown.
Jeff Myers, who is always at his desk i,
without cent of remuneration certain
ly is worthy OF praise, as well as his
able corps of assistants.
"Secretary Henry Reid is capable,
courteous and attentive and is always
willing to lend hia assis ance.
"Now that President Goode and Coz.
Henry Dosch, director of exhibits, who
are both able exposition men, have re.
turned from the East, things from
now on will hum.
1t is a pleasure to look over the
grounds now which are in the embryo
stat, for no exposition in the past has
accomplished 80 much six months be-
fore the beginning of the fair. The
buildings are now practically finished.
II make this prophecy: 1t will be
the only Worlds fair, excepting at
Omaha, that will pay a good dividend
to the stockholders.
"The people of Oregon Will be greatly
benefited through the fair.
Many monied men who will come
out for the purpose of seeing the fair,
will be 80 infatuated with the environ
ments of our beautiful state that in
vestments will follow and all who have
worked to make the fair SUCCESS will
be greatly benefited"

"The people that I have met from
different states, especially from Cali
fornia. Washington, Idaho and Mon
tana. say that the residents of the last
states named are coming enmasse, and
they give for this two good reasons.
First, it is Pacific Coast affair, being
the pride of all the West, and second,
that transportation rates will be within
the reach of all.
II believe that thousands will come
from the East, as the round trip rate
of only $45 from st. Louis will be
great iniucement. This low rate will
make the trip easy for many who will

manner. Misses Charlotte and
louisa B-eford gave a piano solo,
which exactly suited the mood of the
audience. 'Dicky and the little
God" by Miss Woodford, received
hearty applause, showing the apprecia-
ton of the audience. miss Charlotte
Bueford's piano solo which followed
was one of her best. and was thor

The musical reading by Miss Wood
ford was exceptionally fine, and her
rendition of the Letter Scene from
Macbeth" received the heartiest ap-
plause of any number on theprogram.
Miss. Helen Smith and Miss Bessie
Stoke, in a piano duet, put life and
expression into their music which did
one good 10 hear. The program
