The plan, as hiss been explained be-.

which the syndicate agrees to buy l..

zion will obtain the cotton from it's
members, each man selling only a part
OF his crop to the syndicate, and hold

The project, which is a most elabo.

would make the syndicate the biggest

in the world, has been submitted to

Don't Expect Work in Portland.

With the coming of great eXposi-
ton, such as the Lewis and Clark fair
at Portland, which opens on June LIST,
there is always a large number of
young people f1ocking to the city of
the fair in the expectation of finding
work at remunerative wages and hav-
ing a chance to see the fair often.
There can be nothing more erroneous
than this supposition. 1t has been the
experience at every great exposition
that the field for work for the unskill-
ed has been greatly overcrowded and
the thousands who have arrived in the
city with but few dollars left have
speedily become stranded and met
with untold misery until they could
get back from whence they came To
avert as far as possible such a con-
dition at Portland the Exposition
Travellers Aid Association has been
sending out warnings to the center:

every day. The boat ride was just
little over an hour, and the fresh air
gave ones palate an awakening poor
city palares almost never have. The
fish and potatoes and bread and salad
tasted better than they ever do at
home. but all this was not the best
part: it was the loving home atmos-
phere that made the charm. The chill
dren. three of them. were dear to each

like two children with them. l noticed
they mover raised their voices to them
when they asked them to do anything
but just word was enough. Is this
