WHAT 1T COSTS.
Ten Dollars and Fifty Cents to See
All Sights at Exposition.

For weeks and weeks the Oregonians
and their neighbors have been devour-
ing, with their eager eyes, column after
column of reading matter relating to the
famous Trail of the Lewis and Clark
Exposition. They have heard so much
about the wonderful and varied attrac.
tons that they feel satisfied that to
shit" the Trail from one end to the
other and take in all the shows would
cost nothing less than small fortune.
"How much will it cost to see every
thing 'on the Trail? ?' is the natural
question asked by thousands of people.
They want to see all the shows if they
are financially able to do so. To "hit"
the Trail, and hit" it from one end to
the other, without passing up single
attrac ion, will cost less than So, and
there are about 40 shows on the Trail.
Then again, if a person desires to
"blow" himself to see how much
money he can spend on concessions
without visiting or indulgipg in any of
the shows or attractions more th IN
once, he would find it impossible to
spend more than $40. OF course, if he
wanted to ride in an electric launch all
day, or be pushed around Ithe grounds
in roller chair from morning to night,
$40 would not last him more than few
hours.
Take man who comes to Portland to
see the Exposition with the determine
tion of visiting and seeing everything OF
interest, notwithstanding the cost. 1t
will cost him 50 cents to obtain admis-
sion into the grounds. Then, being
fatigued, he will allow himself to be
pushed about the grounds in roller
chair for about an hour.
Then he will procure reserved seat
and liste1 to the band playing in the
grandstand as long as he desires. Feel
ing little stupid from arising early, he !
takes ride on an electro launch. Be
ing ignorant of tue notable events ar.
ranged for each day, he will buy an f
fetal programme. He will also pui
chase an official guide.
About this time he will turn towards
the Trail. Taking them as they come,
he will visit attraction after attraction
About this time he will be ready to
shoot the chu'es. After wanderir
around a while he spies a shooting
gallery and tries few shots at moving
t,rge's. Then he will hunt out Il life
saving exhibit and rent another r..
served eeat, also purchasing an official
talogue to take home with him as a
souvenir of the Exposition.
He remembers that he greatly enjoy
ed his ride on the lake, 80 he turns his
footsteps to the landing and hires a
gondola. firing of that and in need of
exercise, he procures a row boat and
skins the waters for an hour. Desiring
to secure a better view of the Exposi-
tion, he ascends in the captive balloon.
He will visit the Cairo Theatre and
take a ride on the hunched back of the
camel. Then he will try his ho-seman-
ship on donkey. By this time he has
seen all the concessions and is out Just
exactly S1O 50, which includes his ad
mission fee to the grounds.
AS a matte, of fact, it would be i'm
possible f,r p-rson to visit all the
shows and attractions at the Exposi-
ton in even two or three days. Very
few of the shows are of short duration.
1t has been timated that it would
take considerably more than two days
10 attend and stay to the close of every
attraction on the Trail alone. Ofcourse,
manv of tie visitors will find sh ,ws
that do not appeal to their sense of
humor or enjoym Mt, and will not 60 in.
