The list of those to -whom they will bo sent was completed a few day since, and Includes the names of prominent statesmen, speakers, writer and think ers throughout the United States. Pres ident Theodore Roosevelt's name heads the list, although the President has al ready been especially invited to be present. Opening day at the Lewis and Clark ExDOsition will be made one of the most memorable occasions in the his tory of Portland and of the entire West. Details of the opening demonstrations, which were completed yesterday with a few minor exceptions, show that such events will take place as have never before been witnessed In the "Western country, and such crowds will be as sembled as have never before gathered in a "Western metropolis. In short, it has been decided to start the "World's Fair of the "West on" its course In manner befitting the great enterprise. "While In the past it has been thought advisable to keep the gateJs closed until the electric flash from the Presidents office In "Washington sets the machinery In motion, that plan has been aban doned. It was announced yesterday that the gates would open early on the morning of June 1. This will enable the crowds to assemble gradually dur lng the morning. The first demonstration will be a big parade about the grounds. In which military, civic and spectacular features will be the attractions. Many bands will be in this parade and thousands of men and hundreds of horses will ap pear In the pageant. Following this -will be big open-air exercises at which addresses will be made by men prominent in the affairs of the city, state and Nation. Open lng prayer will be offered by a Protest ant minister and the benediction will be pronounced by a representative of the Catholic Church. The speakers will include a representative of President Roosevelt, yet to be named, but prob ably Secretary Taft, the Governor. Mayor, a representative of the United States Senate and of the lower house. Exposition President H. "W. Gcrode and other men of prominence who have not yet been decided upon. Roosevelt Starts the Fair. Immediately upon the conclusion of this part of the programme word will be flashed to President Roosevelt that the Lewis and Clark Exposition is in readiness. President Roosevelt will touch a button in the White House which on the instant will set In motion the machinery of the Exposition across the continent. The vital electrical current from Washington will first touch the towers of the big Government structure on the Government Peninsula In Guild's Lake. It will start the chimes in the tower tolling off the impressive strains of "America." For a full moment this stirring air will be the one sound, while the thousands stand with bared heads. Then will come the heavy hum of machinery In the Machinery Hall, simultaneous with the striking up of the "Lewis and Clark March" by the F. N. Innes Band. A feature of this music will be the masked guns on the terraces above the grandstand, which will be discharged by electricity In rytbm with the music After that it will require a level headed person to keep track of the demonstration. Heavy artillery sa lutes will roar out above the rattle of small arms. A dozen bands will add their music to the noise In a vain en deavor to be heard, a chorus of several hundred school children will sing from the terraces, and the cheers of thous ands of lusty voices will mingle tvlth the din. Salutes From Warships. Nor will all the noise be confined to the Exposition grounds. Warships and other craft In the harbor will boom forth the President's salute, whistles will blow as they have never blown before, and the gladsome celebration will be taken up by what is left of the population of rural districts and outly ing towns. ' For fully an hour this demonstration will continue and then attention will divert to the exhibit palaces, the seen ery. the Trail and the thousand and one attractions of the great Fair. In the evening the scene will be an, Inspiring one. The big white palaces will stand out in myriads of incandes cent lights. Every tower and every beam of every exhibit building will be outlined in fire. On the water front an elaborate display of fireworks will be made; lighted gondolas and launches will glide here and there on the water, and the hilarity on The Trail will bo In full swing. These things, with the strains of muslo mingled through all sounds, will produce an enchanting ef fect. "As to the attendance on the opening day. It is believed there will be .more people than at any other time during the Fair. Every Western state and many of those of the East have ar ranged to send special representatives. Excursions without number have been planned from points throughout the Western country. One big excursion, bearing 100 people or more, has already been made up at Indianapolis, to reach Portland for the opening day.

NOW ASKS FOR MORE SPACE Exhibits Department Receives Letter From French Commissioner. Ask ing That France Be Awarded 6800 Square Feet. The demand for exhibit space at the Lewis and Clark Exposition has spread from the United States. Yesterday an insistent letter was received by Direct or of Exhibits H. E. Doscb, asking for more space In the Foreign building fqr the French displays. France already has an allotment of 5350 square feet and the request Is for 1450 -additional, which, if allowed, will bring the total allowance for France up to 6800 square feet. The communication from M. Victor Larucele makes bare the motives that have occasioned tne request. It states that French exhibitors are impressed with the Oriental phase of the Exposl tlon and believe new and extensive trade relations are to be evolved. Which indicates that France intends to be on the ground floor in the devel opment of the relations with tne "Ori ent. M. Larucele also announces In his communication that, as French Expo sltion Commissioner, he has caused to be circulated among leading French traders and manufacturers, communl cations setting out the import of the Portland Fair together .with a descrip tion of the Oregon country and Its re sources. The French exhibit, for which a dec laratlon or appropriation has been made. is soon to be shipped for Portland. It consists mostly of ellks, toys and ma chinery. It Is thought probable that the ad ditional allotment of space will be granted If possible to make space in the Foreign building. The exhibits de partment ratner expects similar re quests for an increased allowance from Germany, Great Britain and Italy. Each of the. powers had the same space as did France and now that France has asked for more It Is thought the others will do likewise. WILL ADVERTISE THE FAIR. Northern Pacifio Expects to Bring . Many Visitors Here. A. B. Smith, assistant general passen ger agent of the Northern Pacific, who has been 'visiting In Portland for a cou ple of days, will leave this evening for his home In St. Paul. Mr. Smith, while In Portland, has been looking into the things promised by the Lewis and Clark Fair, In order that he may be the better able to advertise it in the East when he returns to his head quarters. From the first of April until the latter part of July the Northern Pacific will conduct an extensive advertising cam paign throughout the states east of the Missouri River, booming the Exposition and the Northwest in general. It is announced by Mr. Smith that the company is now building two entire trains to be put on during the coming Spring or Summer on the run between Seattle and Portland to take care of the local OF THE GREAT EXPLORERS, CA3FTAIN CLARK. traffic, that will spring up on account of the Fair. The Burlington express is also being rebuilt by the company and will soon furnish as good accommodations as any train run by the Northern Pacific the North Coast Limited not excepted. The train will not run an observation car, but o&tside of this feature there will be no appreciable difference between the Burlington and the limited. In many other ways the Northern road is prepar ing for the heavy traffic expected for the coming season. - "The people of the East are beginning to know of Oregon and to want to visit the Coast, said Mr. Smith yesterday. "They are learning of the advantages to be found here and are desirous of coming here to live. The colonist rates, the low excursion rates to the Fair, the home seekers' round-trip rates, all are bringing people to Portland or will bring them here, and many of those who come will stay. It Is to the Interest of the North ern .Pacific to settle the country of the Northwest now vacant and every effort Is being made by the road to advertise not Portland alone, but the entire state and the district of the Northwest. From this work and what Is being done by other par ties, great results will come. Mr. Smith "will leave for Seattle thls cveninr and will then return to his St." Paul home, after a short stay In Wash ington.
