IETV OF MINING IN THE S THE ATTACKS WALTER REED SAYS CONCES SION IS WELL CONDUCTED. Gives His Personal Guarantee That Tatrons Will Be Fairly Treated and Ably Served. PORTLAND. June 25. (To the Editor.) In view of the persistent and manifest ly unfair 'attacks made against the opti cal conceasion at the Lewis and Clark Fair, issued In ray name and conducted under ray auspices. I believe. In Justice to myself and those who awarded the concession that the time to ripe for a categorical reply to my accusers and de tainers. In order that thb reply may be thorough, comprehensive and final. It will be necessary for roe to refer back to con ditions existing before the opening of the Exposition, while the optical concession was under consideration, but had not yet been granted to any of the numerous bid ders. ' I frankly confoss that at that time I looked upon the granting of such a con cession to irresponsible outsiders as dan gerous and likely to work a fraud upon the public 1 was induced to take reports which had reached me from St. Louis and other places where expositions were held. Small wonder, that, feeling as I did at that time. I not only spoke openly agalnst the granting of such rights, but also wrote disparagingly against It in my advertisements published In The Oreson ian. Shortly before the Fair opened. I was invited to Join in a bid for the optical concession, to be issued in my name. I with the understanding- that all transac I tlons resulting were to be, under my j supervision. Not being a traveling fakir. ' but a local optician of 28 years honorable 1 standing in this community. I believed (and still believe in my ability to con L duct an honest and legitimate business at WASHINGTON BUILD IXrr. f ' t 1 f ( I 4 1 i I Jj the Fair, as I hare arways done at my store, and so accepted the offer. As soon as the .booths at the Fair, opened under the eoneesslea so sraated. were in running order. I published, as evidence of good fakh. a personal guar antee in the three Portland papers, to stand behind all transactions, to correct abuses, rectify mistakes, in measuring or fitting- eyes, and give ample satisfac tion to alt patrons. And I have kept my word. "What has been the results? Out of hundreds of cases of eyes fitted, there have been a half a dozen or so of com plaints registered. In several of these. I have made slight but satisfying changes in the lenses prescribed, and ia ethers I have returned the money paid. A notable case of the latter settlement was that of a woman so extravagantly misstated by the "Fifth-street barber." So far from paying S3.90 for a bottle of "cureaM." as malicious!- reported, this "particular victim" secured three pairs of glasses and was given a bottle of murine to drop in the eye for Inflammation. Her money was returned, out of sheer pity, because she claimed that her daKy bread depend ed upon her getting it back, although ad mitting that the glasses met her actual requirements. To misrepresent in such a case as this. Is not only a malicious, but at the same time a base exhibition of in gratitude. As a pleasant offset to this uncalled for venom, a host of Fair cus tomers have voluntarily called at my j store and praised, unstintedly, the serv ices rendered their vision at one or other of the booths. The magnitude of the business done by the Walter Reed Concession Company, required the employment of 39 expert opticians, and. it may be readily believed, that, with such a number engaged, even where the best testimonials are de manded, a few unworthy men are liable to slip in at the outset. These have, however, been weeded out as soon as discovered, and our staff, as at present constituted, is both competent and trust worthy, doing no "spieling" and guHty of no. false pretenses to secure trade. Again reiterating my guarantee to stand behind all work done at the Fair, as I have for all work done at my Optical Institute, during- the past 20 years. I re main. WALTER REHD. Goode and Dosch.

There wlH be two dtvtoieas of the Jury, as provided by the rules and regulations. The executive committee or Jury of awards wlK make deal adjustments aad ceasidr the work of the examining Jurors. o2 whom there wtll be 100. The personnel of the jury of awards wilt include President Goode. ExhiMCs di rect or Dosch and Senator McSrkte. Tb other two Jurors have not yet been de cided upon, at least not so far as caa be learned. The power of appointing onp of them rests with the representatives of foreign coeatries which are partici pating In the Fair. The state commission will have the naming of the fifth. The K Jurors will be recruited from amoag- the various Government ofSdas and state representatives at the Fair. No one who has a competitive exhibit, or any interest la one wilt be permitted to serve. Work of Jnrr- The work of the Jury wW begin next month. Entry blanks have already been provided and are now being distributed among exhibitors. Nearly a hundred wer applied for yesterday by different classes oC exhibitors, and the forthcoming work of the award Jury Is the matter of gea erhl discuss ton among those who have displays in any of the various building?. It is provided in the rules and regula tions that there shall be four classes of awards, a gold medal, a silver medal, a bronze medal and a diplnma. of honora ble mention. In addition there Is provi sion for a special award In the event the Jurors find an exhibit article of excep tional merit. This will be known as the grand prize or diploma of highest award. The Jurors will extend their field of in vestigation to every article which is en tered. The 1C0 Jurors wtll be grouped and upon making their findings wBl report to the executive Jury or Jury of awards. Awards will not be made on articles ac cording to their state of perfection in comparison with ether similar exhibits at the Fair, but upon real merit. Hesco the exhibitor who has the only exhibit of Its kind at the Fair will stand no better chance of gaining- an award than the man who has a hundred competitors. Paid Staff or Experts. While the Jurors will receive no com pensation. It wilt be necessary to secure a paid staff of experts to decide on exhibits where an analysis or special test must be made. These experts will be named as their services are needed. The work of making awards will con tinue from the latter part of next month until the close of the Exposition. It is to compete for these awards that a ma jority of exhibitors- enter their wares, and thus the very highest class of articles is secured. Dayton Week at the Fair.
