FROM PRESIDENT MELLEN.
Commercial Organization Up in Arms
Said That the Lewis and Clark Fair
Would Be a "Fizzle."
Portland. Or.. Nov. 20. All the
commercial organizations of this city
are incensed at the statement of
President Mellen thnt "the Lewis and
Clark fair Is belike a Fourth of July
celebration with nobody to see the
fireworks." Many demand a retrac

Several leading merchals have
made the statement that If President
Mpllen or any of the other leading
officials of the Northern Pacific intend
to he continually "knocking" Port
land, there is but one remedy, and
that Is to take concerted action and
ship all goods via other lines, travel
over other lines and have goods con
signed over other lines.
