What -the various railroads will do for
the Lewis and Clark Exposition in the
way of transportation rates is now defi
nitely known. The official bulletin of the
Transcontinental Passenger Association
bearing on this important subject was re
ceived yesterday by Exposition Secretary
H. E. Reed. The bulletin contains a full
statement of tho deliberations of the as
sociation members at their special meet
ing last February, and shows that the
railroads have made liberal concessions
from many places.
The rate of fare from Missouri River
points and more Eastern localities is as
liberal as was promised, although a some
what better allowance had been expected
on the rates via San Francisco and Cali
fornia points. At the time of the meet
ing of the association it was announced
that the additional charge for the Indirect
trip to Portland would be between $7 and
$11. The report shows that the maximum
of $11 was agreed upon.
Cheap Rate for Direct Trip.
The rates to and from Portland by the
direct route will be $45 from Missouri
River points and St Paul, Minneapolis,
Duluth and Superior.
From Chicago a return ticket will cost
$56.50 while the rate from St Louis is
fixed at $32.50. A corresponding rate will
be allowed from other points.
The rates by way of California will be
$56 from Missouri River points, $63 from
St Paul -and Minneapolis, $67.50 from Chi
cago, $63.50 from St Louis, with corre
sponding rates from other points.
In all there will be 52 dates of sale, ex
tending from May to September. The
tickets will have a time limit of 90 days.
thus allowing ample time in which to view
the Exposition and Investigate the re
sources of the Northwest The first sale
date Is May 24. and the last September 29.
Among the- Missouri River points which
may take advantage of the rate of $45 for
a return ticket are such towns as Sioux
City, Omaha, Council Bluffs, Atchison,
Leavenworth, St Joseph and Kansas City.
The official schedule shows that the rate
from New Orleans will be $62.50, IromS
Fort Worth $55, from El Paso $50, from
Denver $40, from Albuquerque, N. M.,
"$50 and from Salt Lake City $31.50.
Rate Assures Greater Attendance.
"When the bulletin was examined at Ex
position headquarters yesterday morning,
there was a unanimous sentiment that the
railroads had been fair and liberal In the
rate allowance. "With such a reduction a
vastl greater attendance . Is assured, as
the rates particularly affect the country
from which' the most is expected In the
way of participation.
Many excursion parties have been await
ing a rate announcement before making
final arrangements for the trip to Port
land, and thousands of others through
out the country have been waiting to
hear what the railroads were going to do,
as is Indicated by large files of letters.
The timely bulletin will remove every ele
ment of doubt and plans for travel can
now be made with a thorough understand
ing of what the cost will be.
Among the organizations which have al
ready arranged to come, and which pe
titioned the Transcontinental Passenger
Association for the reduction of rates, are
the Woman's General Missionary Society
of the United Presbyterian Church, Amer
ican Library Association, National Amer
ican Woman Suffrage Association, Amer
ican Medical Association, National Con
ference of Charities and Correction, Na
tional Association of Letter-Carriers and
Concatenated Order of Hoo-Hoo.
These organizations, together with a
long list of others which are now making
arrangements for a meeting In Portland,
will be supplemented by many thousands
of delegates to the numerous important
conventions which are listed for San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and other California
cities during the Summer.

Would Ride Mustangs to Portland
Four young men who served the recent

guards are anxious to do an adventurous
feat for the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
Writing- from Oklahoma, they offer to
huv mustancs and ride to the Exposition,
nrovldintr some sort of pecuniary Induce

horses upon which they have ridden j
thousand miles or so would be of pecu

would do much to advertise tho Fair.
An Exposition official points out that
the only difficulty in the "way of the prop

of its kind, lies In the fact that the Fair

He Borrows. Money From His Friends
Under - Pretense of . Investment
and- Gambles It Away at
"the Tracks;
A passion for racetrack gambling caused
Robert A. Condee to defraud friends out
of $12,000, all of which found Its way-into
the pool box. -Condea "Published a paper
in Los Angelas devoted to the interests
of poultry-raisers. Ho represented to va
rious persons that hl3 father-in-law. Mr.
Dickson, was tho right-of-way agent of
the Salt Lake Railroad line, and that tho
company desired to purchase a large busi
ness block for uso of its offices. Condco
alleged that he had an option on tho
RIchey block, and, with the aid of his
father-in-law, could purchase the property
for a reasonable sum, and dispose of It
to the railroad company at a big profit
In pursuance of this scheme, he succeeded
In getting several persons to advance
money to him to buy the block, under an
agreement to share tho profit with them.
The RIchey block was a myth, and the
scheme was fraudulent Condee gambled
the money, and finally, about six weeks
ago, he left Los Angeles, coming to Port
land and passing under the assumed name
of Roberts. Sheriff W. A. White, of Los
Angele3, came after Condee and left with
him on the return trip last night
Condee was arrested at the Instigation
or V. Price Brown, a merchant of Los
Angeles. Condee had previously sent a
letter to Brown, pleading for mercy be
cause of his wife and child, and promis
ing to make good if given an opportunity.
The appeal Is pathetic and of a kind
frequently made by a man who has
sinned and sees tho penlteptlary staring
him in the face. A copy of the latter fol
lows:

my wife and little boy.
i aia wrong, terribly wrocff, but Brown, I
never for one moment intended to cheat you
or any one else oat of a nickel. I, fool that

I will work as man never worked before and

then I tried to make it up by making a pile

tho further I went the worse I got and there
you are. I know I should hare stopped, but
I was a. fool, and went on from day to day,
