PORTLAND FAIR,
AND THE ASTORS

The managers of the Lewis and
at Portland, Ore, next summer, have
written many letters to the Astor fam
lily of New York and London and have
explained to them how grateful would
be any encouragement or assistance
rendered by that family to the promot-
ers of this exposition. Thus far there
has been no reply made from any
member of the family to any citizen
of Portland. This matter seems some
what strange, for there are many of
US who refuse to believe that the As
tor family, wealthy as it is, has ceased
to be American at heart. America
was kind to John Jacob Astor, and has
been kind to all his descendants. To
be sure. that early Astoria ventures
which gave the United States its first
hold on the far Northwest Territory.
was almost the only failure made by
that shrewd merchant, John Jacob
Astor. 1t cost him more than $4,000
900. It helped gain for America very
much more than that. and America
has paid the Astors since then very
and that loss occurred one hundred
years ago. 1 do not think the Astor
family ought to lay 1t SO seriously to
heart. I am sure II had lost $4,000
600 hundred years ago should not
mind 1t now, especially II were able
to console myself with the greater
part of New York and a slice of Eng
land. II the Astor family, out Of their
abundance, should prove American
enough to help on so distinctly Ameri-
can and distinctly worthy an enter
prise as the Lewis and Clark EXPOSE
ton, I am sure that muskrats. marten.
otter and beaver of America would
rise up and called them blessed after
all. The Astor family is popularity
supposed to have outgrown its musk
rat days.-E. Hough. In January Field

We ascended a hill, and stood ait the

the other side. They sat in their
wagons-they had two roped tandems.
