Here la to be found the unconscious Intuition of the hiKhcet standards of excellence, of alt the peoples ef the worM. Sympathy li broadened end hope Is strengthened for the triumph of aU that Is beet In clvtllratlon. It Is an op portunity of education for the whole people that this Kxppsttton has peculiar excellence. The Leirls and Clark expedition resulted In the, expansion of our territory that rave oppor tunity for material wealth to all classes of our cltliene. The poereft man had bin chance, for C40 acres of land. Hut there pioneer who had made heroic fwcrlces to reach the Unt of promise were not content for material wealth alone, hut realized that in the complex life tr modern clltrlzatlon hljch training wan neces sary to give their children equality of op lrtunlty in the broad life of the Intellect and the eoul. So they founded educational Insti tutions, the 'broad university In every sense "f the word. Including the public schools and the higher educational organizations of col lege and university proper. Equality of opportunity In all fields of hu man endeavor wan their watchword. IL 15 for that that our American civilization stands primarily.

CTo the Editor.) Aa & visitor from abroad to the Fair I have read -with interest your editorial ef today on "Portland Graftora." Now In regard to the number ef cherries that can be purchased In Portland Just now for a nlekel I think jour estimate of "net many" Is Incorrect. Two or three days ago I saw a man at the corner of Fifth and Washington streets aell Ing cherries good. freh. rip cherries, at two quarts for a nickel. One eouM hardly ex pect more than this, even In the absence or the abnormal conditions due to the Exposition. Ten days in Portland diedoeed no reason Tor complaint against the residents of the "City of Hones" on the score of Wgh prices. As you aay. It is possible to get rooms and board at almost any price. We had a. fine room In a most desirable location at SI per da? tor each person. aad It was worth It. every cent. We might have had other rooms for AO cents a da) good, dean rooms, but sot so advantageously located. Aa for meals, we had one close to the Fair grounds for 10 cents, a good, wholesome, substantial meal. We had another meal at a restaurant Inside the grounds for $1.S. which was little. If any. better than the 15-eent meal. The service waa better and more elaborate, but the food was no better either in quality or quantity. At one down-town restaurant we had a meal (for two) at -11.60. It waa a good meal, but here the prices had evidently been "boosted" en account of the Fair; the menu card disclosed that fact readily enough. But at other rePtauranU--geod restaurants, where the food Is well cooked and well served we had good meals for 50 and 60 cents each, meals good enough for any person of mod erate means and moderate tastes. At these restaurants the prices are apparently what they have always been, a4 they are en tirely reasonable. Indeed, the only occasion for adverse criti cism we found in connection with the Ex position was in the methods of some ef the smaller exhibitors at the Fair, it seems to be Impossible to view many of the exhibits without being urgently soMclted to purchase. The methods of these exhibitors are most of fensive; they are the methods of "aheeny" second-hand dealers ef Baxter street. They refuse to permit the visitor to inspect th exhibits In oemfort. They hawk their wares like so many street peddlers, and if a visitor but looks In their direction they pounce upon him like so many cabmen. 1 opine tf.m the visitor does not pay his admission fee to be postered In ''this . xnaneer. and the Exposi tion management would 4o well to reform these conditions. These people should be re quired to keep C.lll until they are requested to give Information and prices; otherwise the entire Exposition bids fair te become one great "Trail," where the "spouter" and "puller-ln" are In control. But. on the whole, the visitor to Portland and the Exposition will find both well worth while. Portland Is a benutlful city, and her people are generous and cordial to th stranger. The prices are no higher. In most Instances, than the visitor to the Exposition will b prepared to pay without a murmur. with the one exception noted, the visitor mill find the Exposition a pleasant and profltablt place to tpeWd a week or two.

Kerwfn testified for the prosecution at the trial of Jordan in Judge Soars' court yesterday for embezzlement of 513(0 funds of th International Manufacturing & Mining Company. This was the name under which Jordan worked his schem In Portland, and in the City of Destiny a company was called the Jordan Manu facturing Company. Kerwin, who was one of the Tacoma victims, stated that Jordan endeavored to get him to give him down and he at first agreed to pay It, but reconsidered and paid 3350, next 51(05. and further along made a payment of 52000.

R. Blemiorf, G. M. Brown and others,- he said -Jordan had landed a very respectable-looking lot of suckers in Portland. N. W. Rountree, who inverted 52S00 in the International Manufacturing & Min ing Company, testified that he paid all the bills Jordan owed to trades people, which were many, so thnt Jordan could go east with a vlear head, free from worry, and arrange to put the nut lock on the market. Jordan and his son were each supplied with a return Pullman ticket, and allowed 510 a day expenses. Their reports- showed that their expenses averaged 523 a day. Rountree stated that he sent word to Jordan that there re mained only 5220.30 In the treasury of the company, after deducting 5209. which was an allowance for Jordan's family, and Jordan, on receipt of the advice, at once telegraphed for 5220. The witness said he did not know at this time that Jordan was expending the 51500 he received on the Dr. Wright property. Dr. B. E. Wright testified that Jordan endeavored to get Mr. Gra ham, matter mechanic for the O. R. & ... Co.. to indorse the nut lock. and offered to bribe him to do so, telling him that with his indorse ment he could persuade Fred S. Stanley to invest 520.000 in the scheme. Graham, the witness mid, refused, and remarked that Jordan was the worst man he ever met. G. M. Brown, Warren E. Thomas. Dr. H. R. Blersdorf. Frank Motter, N.-TV. Rountree and others testified that the reputation of Henry Clay Jordan was very had. Ralph XV. Hoyt, E. E. Miller. Fred E. Stanley. Mr. Walker and Tull & Glbbs and others were said to have con demned him. Mrs. Bouchcre, who Invest ed in the company and afterwards got the money back, testified against Jordan. In his defenso Jordan produced vouchers and entries in the company's books to make It appear that he expended all of the moneys properly, and had authority to do so. In some ca.ej he had no re ceipts to offer. The prosecution asserts that first and last Jordan expended all of the money taken in by the company from stockholders aggregating about 57009. The trial will be concluded today. TVIVES ASK FOR DECREES. Desertion and Cruelty Are Grounds on Which Divorce Is Sought. Florence Landlgan says her husband.

RAILWAY MUST FIVE Steps Will Be Taken to Force . Corporation to Act. FIRST-STREET BETTERMENT Property-Owners Object .to , Paying Assessment While Street - Car Co. Leaves Space Between Tracks Unimproved. At a meeting of the street committee of the City Council yesterday. 'an ordi nance was recommended assessing the cost of Improving First street from the north line of Madison to the south line of Columbia at 5531S.81. Roswcll B. Lamson, one of the property-owners affected. remonstrated against the proposed assessment on the ground that a cornpjete Improvement had not been made in that the Portland Con solidated Railway Company and the Ore gon Water Power Railway Company, who have car tracks upon that street, had roado no attempt to improye the portion covered by their tracks. The mat ter was considered br the Executive Board at Its last regular session and re ferred to the City Council, with the re sult, as Indicated. Tho Consolidated Railway Company has been shirking the responsibility for mak ing the Improvements In question upon the plea that it did not own tho original franchise, but it appears that the blanket franchise given to the City & Suburban Railway Company covers all the points at Issue by setting forth the transfer from Graham Glass. Jr.. and- others to the corporation, which vests the title to 1 the tracks in the Consolidated n&d. It Is the Intention of City Audltpr Devlin and flt Attornev MeNrfrr to talc sterw this morning to- compel the railway com- pany to make the necessary repairs be tween its tracks, and with tlyit object . in view, unless there Is a. radical change In the taotlcs of the corporation. It Is ' probable that suit will be instituted in i the name of the municipality to force a proper observance of its laws. I Would Improve Randolph Street. The committee also' recommended the passage of an ordinance assessing the cost of lmnrovinjr Randolph" street from the northwesterly lino of river street to i the southwesterly Itne of Goldsmith! street at 5337.97. The attorney for the j estate of J. B. Montgomery objected to the proposed assessment upon the ground ' that the city had heretofore made an assessment for the Improvement of the Intersection of River and Randolph streets against the estate In the sum of 5360.S3. and this amount was paid under the pro visions of the bonding act upon the state ment" of a member of the Executive Board to the effect that the reaf of the im provement between blocks 79 and 80 on Randolph street would be paid out of the general fund. The estate objected also for tho alleged reason that the as sessment was excessive; that the im provement was unnecessary and done in an unworkmanlike manner, but .the com mittee did not take this view of the sit uation anil advised the passage of the ordinance. A resolution was Introduced requesting the Executive Board to order the remov al of the guards on each side of the railway tracks on the Morrison-street bridge, but the matter was referred di rectly to the Executive Board for action, as was also a resolution calling the Iat ter"s attention to the condition In which the street railway company had left Nineteenth street, between Morrison and Washington. For West Park Improvement. Resolutions were adopted recommend ing that tho City Engineer be directed to prepare plans, specifications and esti mates for the appropriate improvement of West Park street, from the north line of Morrison to the south line of Wash ington, and Taylor street, from the west line of Sixth to the east line of Chap man street, by laying pavements of bitu minous macadam on both thoroughfares. A resolution was Introduced directing the City Englneor to improve Fourteenth street from the south line of Washington to the north llnc of Jefferson, by bringing the street to the grade with crushed rock nr,A ".-i.aVin.l mMf arreonlncs from river quarries, but the committee declined to pass it. Other Matters Acted Upon. The Exposition Accommodation Bureau was granted permission to suspend an ad vertising banner across the street from 1C and 117 Sixth. It waa directed that the work of im proving East Caruthers street, from the east line of East Eighth to the center line of East Twelfth, be discontinued, the specifications providing for the use of upland bank gravel, which is in direct op position to a resolution of the City Coun cil adopted April 5, 1005, directing river gravol to be specified In all future street Improvements. Anderson & Crowe were given permis sion to place a canvas sign across Third streef at Stark, to point out the public landing afthe foot of the street. The Willamette River Towing Company was given permission to use the street continuations of Belmont and East Yam hill streets from East Wafer street to the Willamette River, the same being at present unimproved. WILL CLOSE PERFORMANCE Vulpar Show on Upshur Street to Be Suppressed by Police. After witnessing a "modlfled" exhibition by 'The Girl In Blue" In an Upshur streot Joint near the Lewi? and Clark Ex-..-. in.. rrnntiAc vesterd&v afternoon. i Chief of Police Hunt ordered the sup- presalon of the performance and swore to t a complaint against the woman. I Chief Hunt sent Warrant Officer Goltx tn tho nhrc to arrest the woman, but she was gone and could not be located during i the afternoon.
