"With "words of praise on their lips for everything porta tiling to the Lewis and Clark Exposition, Portland and Oregon, the members of the National Editorial Association boarded their special train at the L2nlon Depot at 9 o'clook last night and. a few minutes later were being hurried over the O. R. & N. towards Salt Lake, whore they will make tho first stop. The editor were glad to tart on their liomeward Journey but nevertheless they regret ted tnat thsy could remain only three Jays' in Portland. They would rather have skipped some of the other places of interest they visited so that they could have seen more of the Exposition. Needless to say the newspaper men were dolighted with Portland and the Exposition. While they are loyal to Oklahoma, where they held their an nual convention, they consider their visit to Portland as the most enjoy able of all. Of course. Portland had a big advantage over Guthrie in the en tertainment of .the noted newspaper man because of the Exposition. The large majority of the visitors had at tended the previous expositions hold in the United Stat oh, but nevertheless the Wetern World's Fair was a revelation to them. i Pleased "With Exposition. The universal opinion was that the Portland Fair is as noar perfect as an Exposition can be. They said that the St. Louis Fair was entirely too oxton slve. "The exhibits in Portland are equal in every rospoct. It not superior, to those of St. Louis, but are more com pact, and oaslcr to see, said the editors bofore leaving for home. They were unable thoroughly to see the Exposi tion, owing to their short visit but said they saw enough of it to satisfy them selves that It was worthy of their sup port. The successful entertainment of tho membors of the National Editorial As sociation is h great source of gratili catlon among the officials, as they ex erted all their influence in making the visit of the editors enjoyable. As nearly So papors were represented in the con tingent, it moans that the Exposition will bo advertised as never before since its inception. There will be very few of the papers represented that will not de vote column after column to descrip tive articles relating to the Exposi tion. The large dailies of the country have been very liberal in advertising the Lewis and Clark Exposition, but it has been more difficult to obtain the same attention from the smaller pub lications. The National Editorial Asso ciation is composed mostly of men rep resenting small daily and weeky pub lications. Tho special train goes from Port land to Salt Lake, where the members will remain not more than two days. From Salt Lake the editors go to Den ver whore the special train is aban doned, the differont members going di rect from Denver to their respective homes. Several score of the visitors spent yesterday at The Dalles leaving Portland early in the morning. Al though escvoral excursions were ar ranged for the visiting newspaper men. they did not prove to be very popular as moat of the members of the associa tion were content to remain in Portland booing the Exposition. Words of Commendation. "I consider the Portland Fair as the most satisfactory of all the exposi tions," remarked J. Irvin Steol, trees urer ef the National Editorial Associa tion, yesterday afternoon on the ve randa of the American Inn, resting after his visit to the various bulldngs. rPortland has been aided, to a groat extent by Nature herself. It seems as though tne grounds and landscape were made by Nature for the especial use of the Lewis aad Clark Exposition. "Thon the buildings, electrical illu miaatlen and the exhibits were won derfnlly attractive. I feel satisfied that all tho montbers fell compensated for their trip across the plains to Portland. We have been royally entertained since ur arrival and feel very grateful to the Exposition management and the people f Portland. It has been said that every member of our party has met relatives tiace we have been at the Exposition." continued Mr. Steel. "Our "Western, rela tives have made it a point to be at the Fair when we were here. Mr. Steel is from Ashland, Pa., where lie edits the Daily Telegram, a paper of large circulation and powerful in fuenoe. Mr. Steel has edited and owned a newspaper ever since ae was 18 years of age. lie is a man past middle age. His enthusiasm over Oregon and the Alt II itJil , .fBSSSSSSB immmK USES BH .

"Speaking for myself I hall say the people of the West have every reason to be proud of Portland for the resaark- abe achievement that the Lewis and Cark Exposition has proved to be." en thusiastically remarked Mr. Ash brook yestorday. "I hardly expected to lind such a niagniticent Exposition as this anywhere outside of the thickly-populated states in the East. Of course. I cannot speak for all the members of the association, but all those I have talked with arts as pleased with the Fair as I am. You can eafely count on the Expo sition receiving an enormous amount of exploitation when each returns to his heme once more to taite up the burdens of a newspaper man. BY CANOE FItCttI THE EAST How n Pennsylvania Lad Is Coming to the Exposition. An IS-year-eM Pennsylvania lad has essaved to make the trip frera his Eastern home to the Portland Exposi tion In a steol canoe, ahd is now pad dling industriously along - the Ohio River. He Intends to make his way into the Mississippi, thonce to the headwaters of the Missouri, aad on into the Snake in Montana. From the Snake he will find his way late the Columbia, and thence up the Willam ette to Portland. This is the route he has laid out. and which he has already been following for two weeks. The bey is Lindsay Kerby, f Cheat haven, Pa., HHfi the unique Journey is based oh a wager of Slfte and the youth's desire to see the country. A communication received yesterday by the Exposition Prose Bureau, from Wheeling, W. Vs., states that the boy has reached that place in the best of spirits, after having navigated the Cheat. Monongahela and Ohio rivers. While oampee on an island seuth of Rochester a few days ago, he was held up and robbed of SI by river pilots. His boat is of steel, with an air-tight compartment at each end. which pre vents it from sinking. A peddle and a small sail are the motive power, and if the young man manages to complete the long and arduous Journey upon which he .has embarked, he will have accomplished a noteworthy feat. LTBERATTS BAND ARRIVES. Plays In the Afternoon and Evening nt Gray Boulevard. Signer A LI be rati, accompanied by 4S members of hie band aad three solo ists, arrived la Portland yesterday morning, and began his series of con certs at tae Exposition, playing in the afternoon and evening in tne Gray boulevard bandstand. The slngors who are with Signer Li be rati are Miss Catherine" Ktarer, Miss Marie Valdes and Bernard Begue. Miss Klarer is an American girl, grad uate of the Cincinnati Conservatory, and a musician of rare ability. Miss Valdes and Mr. Begue are Italians of prominonce, and sing only in their own language. Signor Liberatl has been In Port land before, playing for three seasons at the Northwest Industrial Exposi tion several years ago. He has always had a warm spot la his heart for the Rose City, and la the course of an in terview said yesterday: "I am always glad to get back to Portland. I like the city very muoh and feel that I am welcomed here when I oome. My band Is in excellent condition, and will play to Portland air dionccs for a month." Large crowds gathered at the two concerts yesterday, and welcomed Sig ner Liberatl and his musicians with scnerous applause. This evening's pro gramme will include many Wagnerian selections from "NIeberlungen," Tann hausor." "Parsifal," "Lohengrin" and "The Song to the Evening Star." During the afternoon programme, "11 Trova tore," "La Travlata" and the "Flower Seng" will be played by tho band. SILVERTOX BAND IS COMING It Will Bo Entertained at Homer Davenport's Farm. The Fourth of July celebration is now complete. The Sllverton band Is coming to town to spend the day. That rural musleal organization, which Homer Davenport has immor talized, is still" very much in exist ence, despite the IS years which, have passed si nee it was organized with Mr. Davenport as the snare-drum per former. It has a reputation for play ing, good music, too, and after IS years ef practice since Mr. Davenport was with it. the players have become able to start pretty much together, run within a bar or two of one another through any piece they may attempt and finish very nearly neck and neck. The uniforms, too. have been revised since the days when Mr. Davenport was forced to take three steps before either leg of his pantaloons moved an lfwh Of Mvrii thnr Ik nn nu fnr Mr. Liberatl to become envious as far as competition in classical airs is con cerned, but whea it comes down to genuine old-fashioned music, the Sll verton band has the reputation of be ing able to go some. There Is a new manipulator ot the littlo drum now, but he will no doubt yield that im portant position to the charter member of the band, who has been hapless enough to become separated from the band through becoming entangled in caricature, ornithology, fame and one thing and another. During their stay in the city the members of the band will be -entertained by Mr. Davenport on the Daven port farm at the Exposition. Women, from their sedentary habits, are often subject to headache and constipa tion. These are quickly removed by Car tf ZJ.ul XJ .--. pill. L MEN MEET HOLD NINTH AXXUAIi CONVEN TION AT EXPOSITION.

A pair of heavy horses, with a lumber wagon behind them, got away from their driver, and were going at the top of their speed, scattering people right and left It was seen that when the runaway struck the Trail an accident could hardly be avoided. Frank Eberle. of the Exposition Press Bureau, tried to seize the horses reias. but missed, and got out of the way barely In time to escape the wheels.
