Hides. TaIlow, Wool and Hops.

As already mentioned several lots OF new
Wool have been received but not sufficient to
establish prices though the trade look for
quotations in the course OF week or ten
days The Wool already received was con-
tracted for some time ago, and at higher prices
than can now be obtained; consequently the
trade expect the market to ease of somewhat
at the opening. They say that the season is
not opening up as irm as expected.

Exposition in Full Swing

The most auspicious ceremonies ever
witnessed on the Pacific coast accom-
panied the opening of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, June 1. Nearly
40, 900 people were present. The pro-
gram was carried out without inter-
ruption from the parade in the MORN
ing to the firing of the Centennial
salute and the formal opening of the
exposition. Never in the history of
Portland was so representative and
distinguished body assembled. Vice
President Fairbanks was present as
the personal representative of Presi.
dent Roosevelt, Speaker Joe Cannon of
the House of Representatives and an
important party of United States sena-
tors and members of the lower house.
The weather was ideal. The skies
were immaculate, the sun shone warm
and the atmosphere was pleasing.' The
natural attractiveness of the exposition
site was greatly enhanced. Guilds
lake, the great natural water basin of
the exposition, was akin to a huge
mirror and upon it's placid surface
was reflected the graceful outlines of
the imposing government buildings on
the peninsula. To afford all an op-
p portunity to view the exposition at it's
best, the ceremonial platform was To-
Gated in Columbia Court at the top of
the Grand Stairway.
AS early as eight O'Clock people be-
gan to enter the grounds and sought
| the benches surrounding the rostrum.
At 1880 Vice President Fairbanks,
accompanied by President Goode of
the Exposition, the congressional party
and body of representative Portland
business men, and escorted by both
cavalry and infantry of the United
States regular army entered the
grounds. The soldiers made a mos,
impressive pageant. Upon their arrival
the distinguished guests were driver
to the New York building where prep
arations had been made for their re
ception. Then they repaired to the
ceremonial platform.
AT noon a ice-presidentia1 salute o
nineteen guns was fired, after which
President Goode called the assembling

Across the YeI-
IOWstOne on Foot
Many People Visited the Bridge
Sunday and Walked Across

Work on the bridge goes merrily on
grand structure is rapidly nearing
completion. Foreman Leach and crew
worked Saturday night as long as they
could see in order to get the remaining
bents of the false work in, and planks
laid upon them so that the people might
be enabled to walk across the river on
Sunday, and vast number of our citi-
zens visited the bridge, and those who
were not made timid by the rushing of
water under their feet, which they were
permitted to see owing to the space be-
tween the p!anks, crossed to the north
side of the river and returned by way
of the new bridge.
Of course the bridge is far from COM
pleted as yet, but Mr.. Leach assures
us that it will be nearly enough COM
pleted by the Fourth of July to permit
the crossing of teams. And this re-
minds us that the committee on arrange
ments for the Fourth of July celebr "a
tion are making preparations to have
the bridge beautifully decorated on
this day and an impressive dedication
ceremony will be held there in the
forenoon.
The entire program for the Fourth of
July celebration has not yet been made
up, but will be before the next issue of
the News and we promise to give our
readers the details fully and COM
pletely. We can assure you, however,
that Forsyth will have one of the most
entertaining celebrations ever held here
and can promise full day of enjoy
ment to all who attend.
We naturally feel great pride in
our new bridge and want the entire
county to enjoy it with us. Attend the
dedication ceremonies and spend the
day in Forsyth.
