What It Costs to See the Fair.

The Southern Pacific has furnished
the following estimate of daily expense
for a five or ten day visit at the Lewis
and Clark Fair.
Visitors at the Lewis and Clark Ex-
position in Portland this summer will
be surprised to find how cheaply the
big fair may be seen. The expenses of
a trip depend largely, of course, upon
the individual who makes the trip, but
a schedule of the fixed expenses has
been prepared which enables one to
get "A fairly accurate idea of the cost of
seeing the exposition.
The visitor in Portland will find an
abundance of suitable accommodations
and it may be said authoritativelv that
no n need pay in excess of one dollar
per night for clean comfortable lodg-
ings. Within the past few months
temporary hotels and lodging houses
with a grand total of 2670 rooms have
been erected near the main entrance to
the grounds, while. the American Inn,
within the grounds, has $50 rooms. In
addition to these accommodations, the
hill Military Academy and st. Helen's
Hall will be available, while almost
every house in the district between the
downtown portion OF Portland and
the exposition will take dodgers during
the summer. In most cases accommo-
dations may he found within easy
walking distance of the grounds, and a
tive-cent street car ride is available
from any part of the city. While the
average price charged for lodging will
be one dollar per night per person
many rooms may be obtained, espec-
tally in the temporary hotels near the
ground, for rs, so or ever 25 cents.
Most people will find it more conven.
lent to take breakfast at their lodging
place or at u downtown restaurant
than at the grounds. Twenty-Five
cents should pay for breakfast and %
cents for luncheon within the grounds,
while for the evening meal SO cents
may be considered a fair price, making
the cost OF three meals 81.

an EXPLANATION.

At the top of this column last
week we made the statement. under
the head of Look Into This, "
that the old Academy lot had been
sold for 500 I'm three sections. and
that we could prove that $500 cash
was offered and refused.
The article broughtan immediate
protest from the committee of the
County School Board.
In Justice To the members of that
committee. as well as 20 the Coz
EIrE, we make the following state
ments of facts, the same not being
known TO us until we were furnish
cd with them by the committee:
The sum of $500 cash was offered
10y % business man of Bcrryville.
coupled with the condition that he
should bc placed i'm possession of
the entire Academy lot. but the
offer was refused by the Committee
for the following reasons
That two sections Of the lot had
been fenced in and occupied for
many years by two property
owners:
That there was grave doubt as to
whether the above mentioned par
ties could be forced TO give up
these tracts by suit at law:
That a compromise offer of $40
and Sl25, respectively. was made
and accepted for the lots. in pref
ercncc To a suit at law, possible
loss, and certain cost;
That the Committee was of the
opinion That the compromise offers
of so and Sl25, with the additional
sale at 5000, without any further
litigation, were better than the one
of $500. coupled with the condi-
tions named, and which they did
not believe would have Melted 5000:
and so accepted them.
In closing the matter so far as
the Courier is concerned. the
editor desires to say that he had
absolutely no interest in the matter
other than the welfare of the Pub
he Schools. We believed our pub
lication to be a true one, else it
would not have appeared. The
explanation offered by the Com
mttee IN regard to the details of
the sale place the matter in a very
different light.
As we have said several times.
publicity will not hurt honesty:
and we believe the publicity in this !
case Is well. Now that the entire
matter is open to public view. he |
who runs may read. and, reading. |
he Will. we think, realize the posi- |
ton taken by the Committee.
The editor has the highest per-
Sonal regard for the members of
the Board. and even in our criti-
clsm we referred only to them as
public otIicials,a position which has
been held in all courts to be open
to criticism; the explanation in the
present instance showing that the
criticism was not merited.
The editor pays school taxes. and
the Board therefore handles his
money Just as we'll as that of any
and we feel that we have
done them an unintentional inius-
tice.
