Pam American Exposition, drawing on
much more thickly settled territory
for its patronage, attracted only 1,2oS,2 so
visitors In the first two months OF its
career, and the Portland show has ex-
ceeded the records Of the Omaha Trans
Mississippi Exhibition Of 1893. which
was attended by eil,oS5 persons In Its
first two months.
1t Ia pointed out that within radius
Of 500 miles from Buffalo there was a
population Of 4O,OOO,OOo to draw from,
and Omaha, within q corresponding
territory, had o population Of $4,000, 900.
Portland counts within circle Of similar
radius drawn with itself as a, center
only 100000 inhabitants. Many OF
these have been busy since tho opening
Of the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
engaged In agriculture. This month the
attendance on the fair shows constant
and steady increase, and before the
gates are closed II IL expected that at
least 2,75O,oOO persons will have viewed
the exhibits. Portland Is proud OF the
great attendance so far, and confident
Of the future. Tho special correspondent
Of the ST. PoM Dispatch utters this cheer
full sentiment:
AS II Is q Western enterprise the entire West u
to be congratulated, and the East still irnAgines
that nothing good can como out OF Nazareth let
that section take notice Of the most successful
OF ali American expeditions
Where in the East is it believed that
nothing good can come out Of the West2
1t must be a region not down on the
maps. Portland has carried great
enterprise far toward success. May she
see the end Of the exposition with the
same qualification that marked its be-
ginning and its progress up to date.

The great and sudden food Of Jewish
immigration to this country Is looked
on by tho Jews Of older settlement with
a degree Of misgiving. These immi-
grants are among tho number who como
hither with the smallest amount OF
money in their possession, and their
exodus seems to be too precipitous to
be advantageous to themselves, unless
the Russian policy Of expressing them
shall be continued.

markable suggestion, made on the theory
that attempts to extort justice for the
Jews from Russia are useless. Nov

writes, "Manchuria would offer solution

A Proposed Outlet for tho Jews.

If the conference of prominent Jews
of this country with Mr.. WTTTE, for the
purpose Of securing social and political
rights for the six millions OF their race
in Russia, should result in the practical
ameloration Of the condition Of those
people, a very decided reduction In the
present vast Jewish immigration to
America might be brought about.
The Jewish Year Book for 1905 esti-
mates the number of Jews in the world
as nearly eleven millions. Ofthese more
than one-half are in Russia. Next to
Russia they are most numerous in Aus
ia-Hungary, where they are estimated
to be about two millions; but 80 great
has been and is still the Jewish immi-
grafton to the United States from both
Of those countries that these estimates
ought probably to be reduced. Jews
number in the United States now
about million and a half: and prob
ably this country has Jewish popula-
ton not much less than that Of Austria
Hungary when the depletion by the i'm
migration of the last few years Is taken
into the account.
At any rate, II the Jewish immigration
continues at its present volume the
United States will very soon be second
only to Russia in the number of Jews
it contains, and the persistence Of Rus
STA in its determinations against that
race would probably give the first place
to this country within the present gen.
Grafton. Already the Jewish community
in New York is the greatest in any city
of the world-at least three-quarters OF
a million. That is number equal to
more than half Of the present total pop
ulation of st. Petersburg. There are
more Jews in the United States than in
all Europe, with the exception Of Rus
STA and Austria-Hungary. Probably
there arc three times as many as are
at present in Germany, the seat OF the
now apparently mitigated apti-Semitic
agitations. After Germany and the
other European countries we have
named they are most numerous in Ru-
mania, though there they are not more
than about third Of the Jewish popu-
lation Of the city OF New York. In the
whole British empire they are little moro
than third.
