Panama-Pacific International Exposition, San Francisco, June 2 It's June rosetime in Port- Jand, bridetime in all the world, but crowdtime at the great Exposition, yes, and bridetime Numberless brides are sweeping Fair-ward for their honey moon. Why shouldn't they? There's everything in the world to divert, and every possible lover's lane and lover's nook, all sorts of little hide-away spots under the shadow of marbles and bronzes with guards promenading just near enough to gve zest to the stolen moments. Here and there, from the joyful zone to the magcal Palace of Fine Arts, one meets these half-abasTied lovers, and hands are quickly loosened, and eyes look steadily ahead at "sights;" or else, oblivious of the intruding passers by, they go right on reading love-notes Into one another's eyes, and you don't feel like laughing a bit. Ninety-eight thousand persons visited the Exposition Saturday, and it had been a swelling tide all the week: and 20 train-loads of neonle are between Denver and Ogden. Bankers Much Feted.

FRUIT AGENCIES AT WAR North Pacific Distributors' Subsid iary Invades Spokane. SPOKANE, Wash., June 2. (Special.) What amounts to open warfare for the fruit tonnage of the Spokane dis trict between the Spokane Fruitgrow ers' Company and organizations affili ated with the North Pacific Fruit Dis tributors developed today, following the opening of an office here by the Cen tral Idaho-Washington Fruitgrowers' Association and the announcement that the asosciation, a sub-central of the Distributors, had extended its territory to include the Spokane, district. Speaking for the IdaTio-Washlngton OPEN LETTER To the Friends and Members . of the Oregon Humane Society: I bespeak your vote for ther proposed charter amendment on the ballot, June U next, -which, if adopted, will give the Council the power, which it has not at present, to enter into a contract with a humane society for the operation of the pound. If the amendment is adopted the pound will not by that fact alone go to a humane society, but the Council may make a contract for that purpose if it sees fit to do so. This amendment will put the operation of the pound into the hands of those, whose chief desire will be to save pain and suffering to the poor dumb beast wherever possible. Strange as it may seem, this humane measure has its critics. It is claimed that the city will lose a revenue of $10,000 per annum, which will go to the Humane Society. This statement is absolutely false. The amendment provides no money appropriation of any kind. The city will continue, as before, to collect and retain fees for dog licenses, and is merely given the additional power to contract on satisfactory terms with a humane society for the operation of the pound, just as it now has power to pay salaries to a poundmaster and his assistants for that purpose. Cast your vote for this measure this coming election affords you no greater opportunity to do good in the cause of humanity. Yours respectfully, A. COWPERTHWAIT, President Oregon Humane Society.

Bobbins, general manager of the North Pacific Fruit Distributors, denies responsibility for the invasion of the Spokane field by the sub-central organization, but officers of the Spo kane Fruitgrowers' Company openly charge that the move has been fostered by the Distributors with the hope of tnjuring the local organization, which withdrew its affiliation with the Dis tributors early this year.
