Hard to Chew.

FOR PORTLAND ONLY.
No Visitors Allowed Outside of
Metropolis.

Every place in Oregon has
contributed its mite toward the
Lewis and Clark Fair. The
citizens of every city and town
in the state have ''legged" for
the Exposition and boosted it SO
far as in their power they could.
Not only in speaking favorably
of the Fair have they done their
part, but coin of the realm has
been lavishly spent in every
section of Oregon in assuring the
success of the Fair.
Before the opening of the Ex-
position many people of the val
ley were under the impression
that many Easterners would
roam the fields during the sum.
mer just passed. How the idea
took root we cannot say, but it is
certain that many people of this
section were certain in their own
minds that during Fair time a
number of excursions would
be run out of Portland and up
through the Willamette Valley
for the especial benefit of such
visitors from the East as might
desire to see the rural portions of
Oregon. In the light of the
past, how foolish it appears that
we ever gave credence to such a
thought, or hope, idea or notion.
The absurdity of it all!
This is Port1and's show. 1t
makes no difference if the whole
state does help pay for it, to Port
land it belongs first, last aud ali
the time. In many small towns
is heard the cry that all loose
coin is gravitating to Portland
and that business is perceptibly
affected. In all probability could
the matter be figured exactly it
would be found that the Fair
will cost Benton county $50, ooo
by the time it is over. Com.
menting aloug this line the
Eugene Register says:
Our correspondent states thai
the Fair commission is not deal
