II is estimated that there were be-
tween 1000 and 5000 employees.
Extra crews have been maintained
during the summer and practically
every hotel and business mouse In the
city has increased its list OF employees
to accommodate the thousands who
have visited Portland. To large ex-
tent the extra employees will be dis
charged.
The large majority OF those who will
lose their positions as a result of the
closing of the fair will leave the city
Immediately. Hundreds are preparing
to go to Los Angeles and other west
ern cities, while many will return to
the east. A large number have secur-
ed permanent positions in Portland
and will continue to reside here.
There will not be enough unem-
ployed men in Portland as the result
of the closing of the fair to cause any
trouble in local industrial conditions" Z"
said an official of the fair today.
while II is estimated that between
5000 and 5000 persons will lose their
positions. that does not mean that
that many will be left in Portland
without jobs. Most of them are reg
ular followers of expositions and will
scatter throughout the country wait
ing for the next one. Many. how
ever, have secured permanent places
in this city and will remain here"

to the Importance of this part Of the
United States.
1t is true that the fair has taken
some money out of the rural districts,
but look for great benefits to come
to Oregon in return for this expendi-
ture. People from different parts of
the United States have visited Oregon
this year and have become acquainted
with the state and the people through
the fair, and many of these visitors
will return to become residents with
overflowing, and good, substantial
people with means to found homes
are looking to the west.
Aside from showing the resources
of the northwest, the fair has been a
great educational feature. Isolated
as the northwest is from the great
centers of education, manufacturing,
art and science, this fair brought all
these great branches of civilization to
Inc very doors of the people of the
northwest. This feature of the fair
is alone worth all the money that the
fair has cost Oregon.
Whatever we get of value costs
money, and 1 feel that Oregon and
the northwest states have made a
good investment in the Lewis and
Clark fair. 1t will yield returns to
this section of the United States for
years to come, in permanent, pro-
gressive, home-hungry settlers, who
became acquainted with the North
west through the medium of the fair.

At the meeting of the school board
held last night the curfew ordinance,
the Saturday night dances and other
things pertaining to the general out
of-school conduct of students came
up for discussion. Marshal Coffman
was present at the request of the
board and told of the good results
that have followed the ringing of the
curfew bell at $3.50 p. m.
According to that official condi-
tions have improved so per cent since
the bell was again brought into use.
as 1t is now a much easier matter to
keep the youngsters from roaming
the streets at night.
The subject of the Saturday night
dances is one which has been brought
to the attention of the board several
times lately, and some interest is be.
ing taken in them, as many students
are said to be in the habit of attend
ing them. Last night the member:
of the board were told that the dance:
are being run in such an open man
ner that there is really no restrictions
as to who shall attend, and that at q
recent dance one of the women of tn,
tenderloin was present during the
everi.nR.
As a result of these disclosures Il
is said that unless the dances ere bet
ter regulated in the future students
will be asked to refrain from going
to them, and to confine themselves tC
the regular students dances which are
held bi-weekly.

THREE HUNDRED REEVES.
Brought In From the lee Country by
j. j. Angell the Cattleman.

j. j. Angel, the Cattleman.
]. j. Angel. a cattleman of the Izee
country, in southern Grant county, is
in town, having come in with a band
of 800 fat cattle which he sold here.
On being weighed in at the stock
yards here the beef were found to
weigh an average of 1918 pounds,
thus netting the cattleman a good
round sum. The band was bought by
Stanfield brothers and Asa b. Thonf-
son, of Butter creek, and they will be
wintered in that section.
To bring the cattle here from Mr..
Angells ranch near Izee required 10
days. for it is over $50 miles. How
ever, the band was brought through
without mishap and delivered here in
good shape.
In speaking of conditions in south
ern Grant county Mr.. Angel said this
morning that the range is now in
splendid shape as a result Of the rains
which have prevailed this fall and
have given the new grass good start.
In southern Grant, where he lives, the
range has not been taken up to the
extent that has land nearer to the
railroad, and consequently the stock
men there are not so worried for
pasture, as are some OF those who
live closer to the main arteries of
travel.
AS for a railroad into the interior,
Mr. Angel, like many other stockmen,
has an aversion to such, as il would
have the effect of settling up the
ranges and thus putting an end to the
stock business which has been the
main stay of the country since il was
first settled
