Twenty-Five Nations Among Those
Who Have Placed Stamp of
Approval on Portola Fete.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 25.-With
rev features being added almost daily,
the plans for the Portola Festival, TO be
given in San Francisco October % to
20, are rapidly advancing. This fiesta
promises to be the most elaborate ever
given in the West. Concentrating the
four hundredth anniversary of the dis
eovery of the Pacific Ocean by Vasco
iNunes de Balboa, it holds interest for
the entire West. Not only from every
Lart of California, but from other
States throughout the West have come
pledges of cooperation and assurances
Vt participation.
Balboa holds the center of the stage
this year, as in 1909 interest was cen
tered in Don Gaspar de Portola, dis
coverer of the bay Of San Francisco and
first Governor of California under Span
ish rule. The first Portola Festival of
four years ago is to be outdone this
fall, however.
Strong Endorsement.
Because of this rld-important an
niversary, the Portola has received the
endorsement of twenty-five nations,
whose consular representatives in San
Francisco nave formed special com
mittee to emphasize the international
character of the event. While four con-
tinents are represented on this com
mittee, the. Latin countries form a
goodly proportion of the whole. The
Romantic peoples on both sides of the
Atlantic are giving especial attention to
this tribute to the two illustrious Span.
iards-Balboa and sPortola.
p Fleet Coming to the Coast.
As BELTS the commemoration of an
ocean g discovery marine interest will
predominant in the festival. Secretary
of the Navy Daniels has in person
promised the Portola Festival commit
tee that the entire Pacific fleet will be
in San Francisco harbor for the fete.
The maritime idea will be carried out
in the great night electric pageant,
whose immense foats-the biggest ever
made-will be reproductions of ships
from the era of the THRONE to that of
the Dreadnought.
After New Record.
In every detail of the holiday San
Francisco has set out to establish new
record. With Market street and the
side streets turned into bower, the
decorations will be the most elaborate
ever installed. The greens are meas.
ured by the tens of miles, the flags by
the score, and the illumination plans
call for a million candlepower. In the
day parades organizations and commun-
titles from the Alaskan boundary to the
Mexican line win be represented, and
from the Mid.Pacifc Honolulu will par
ticipate. .,...uss
Withal, it will be more than holiday
it will be an education as well.

this mountain disappeared into the bow
els of the earth and all that is left to-
day is the huge rim around Crater lake.
Crater Lake is the caldera of this ex-
tinct and collapsed volcano and is nearly
6 miles in diameter. The inside walls OF
the rim of the ancient mountain are in
places nearly 1000 fet high and almost
perpendicular The lake itself is in
places nearly 1000 feet high and almost

that the apex could not have been FAR

CURRENT COMMENT
Congress and Coal,

With the approach of spring the Thrift
ty householder, if his exchequer allows
it, begins to think of laying in, or at
least of ordering and paying Tor, his
supply of coal for the coming year, He
will be very fortunate if he is not com
PEELED to pay at least so cents more 4
ton than he paid at the corresponding
time last year. In some localities an
advance of more than 81 ton is prom
ised
OF this increase 8 or 10 cents a ton
goes TO wages, 10 or Is cents to the
operators, and the remainder to rail-
roads, to wholesalers and retailers. Dur
ing the past year wages have increased
BY S4,000,000, and the operators have
added Sl3000000 to their profits.
All these and great many more facts
have been laid before Congress in the
report of Mr.. Basil NJ. Manly, a spe-
cial agent of the bureau of labor. Many
thousand coal consumers in New Eng
land will be interested to see what Con
gress intends to do with the report, OF
whether in the coming discussions about
the tariff the subject of anthracite coal
will be entirely forgotten. One of the
items in the high and ever higher cost
of living is the price of coal. Every one
knows why coal is dear, and to whom
the profit goes. The subject is much
easier to understand than the tariff, and
Congress ought to have no difficulty in
applying an effective check to the con
stantly rising price of anthracite, which
comes near to being downright extor-

ACTING THE ROMDY.

The recounting Of various acts OF
rowdyism by indignant citizens at the
meeting of the city council last evening
indicates that there has been too free
rein on the boys and young men of
Barre for some time past; and yet much
of the trouble is not due to malicious
Eess but rather to thoughtlessness on
the part of individuals. But whether
the acts be wilful or not, it is time
that active steps be taken to prevent
recurrence of the things. The efforts
of the traction company in particular
to accommodate the general public by
going to much expense in fitting up
waiting-room in the Aldrich building
ought to be met with better recogni-
ton than with such offensive acts as
have been noted during the past few
weeks. Such a beautiful structure as
the federal building ought not to be
defaced by daubs of ink; nor should
it be a playhouse for youngsters, how
ever great the temptation to use the
revolving doors for merry Ego round.
The sidewalks ought to be free from
loiterers, and persons should be permit
ted to pass along with running into
yolley of comment, favorable or other
wise. And so on through the list Of
complaints registered at the meeting last
night. All of them are grievances vita
good foundation. But serious as they
are, we believe that much of the Of
fensive action will be done away with

just as soon as the boys and young men
stop to think that they are interfering
with the rights of others and to no good
purpose to. themselves. The good sense
OF majority of the boys and young
men will cause them to recognize those
rights, we believe. For that other class,
the wilfully malicious, there is only one
course; and the police have control of
that.
