Portland Day AT The Fair.


Portland. Ore. Sept. 80. To-day is
Portland Day at the Fair and there is
little doubt that it will prove the
biggest day since the opening of the
exposition. The merchants and man
ufacturers of this city decided to do
all they could TO make the day a
great success and to swell the attend
ance even beyond the point reached on
the Fourth of July, when SO. 705 per-
sons passed through the turnstiles.
Nearly all stores and offices In the city
are closed and nearly the entire popu-
lation made a holiday of it. From
early morning crowds went to the
fair grounds and there was never a
pause in the clicking of the turnstiles.
In accordance with decision of the
management there were no formalities
of any kind connected with the cele-
bration of the day. Everybody sought
to amuse himself as best he could.

Wilkes Barre. Pa. Sept. 30. The
time when the mine owners in the
Anthracite region will have to give a
definite answer TO the demands of the
miners, is rapidly approaching and
the situation is becoming clearer de-
fined every day. The statement that
President Baer. of the Reading, has
decalred the demand of the miners for
an eight-hour day would not be grant
ed, seems to have made an impression
upon the miners and their leaders.
One of them said in an interview that
the miners would insist upon the de.
mand for an eight-hour day. The
miners in the soft coal region only
worked eight hours and the work of
the miners in the Anthracite region is
even more difficult and hazardous than
that of the soft coal miners.
