The Portland doors of welcome, through which have passed the thousands of visit ors from all parts of the world on their way to the Lewis and Clarjc exposition, were opened Just a little bit wider yester day than ever before, as the city was thronged with the eager and enthusiastic excursionists from Seattle, who came to Portland to smoke the pipe ot peace in the friendly but hotly contested race for the commercial supremacy of the Xorthwest, It was rare Indeed to see a vilstor at the exposition yesterday that was not wear ing ribbons on which were engraved "Greater Seattle" in bold and neat letters as the residents of Portland joined hands with the visitors from Puget Sound in ex ploiting Seattle. The commercial advantages, the beau tiful scenery, unsurpassed climate, and even the roses, of Portland, were forgot ten yesterday, as It was "Seattle" day. The wonderful harbor of Puget Sound, the shipping interests and the industries of Seattle, and the magnificent homes and other attractive features of the Puget Sound city were not neglected or forgot ten In the rush. Occasionally some broad mnided and neighborly Seaitleltes would endeavor to edge In a few words compli mentary to Portland, to be quietly In formed by the Oregonlans that Portland was taking a vacation, and that it was all Seattle. "Weather Docs Not Frighten. The weather seemed to have a grudge against, Seattle, however, as Friday af ternoon, when the excursionists arrived in the city, ominous and threatening clouds gathered, shutting out the sun light. During the night there was a thun der storm, and nearly ail day yesterday the dark, heavy clouds covered Portland, threatening at any moment to deluge the city -with raJn. But the people of Seattle are Tjot the kind to allow their ardor to be dampened by a little unfavorable weather, and they went ahead to see the Exposi tion and exploit the Washington metrop olis with that "Seattle" spirit which they always carry along with them, whether at home or abroad. As nearly as could be estimated there were approximately 3000 from Seattle at the Exposition yesterday. Over half of the visitors cameUo Portland on special trains and for days the travel from Seattle to Portland has been unusually heavy. "While most of the visitors rejyrn to Seattle today, hundreds of them 'will remain in Portland the entire week. The Seattle citizens have been holding off from attending the Exposition until yes terday as they desired to effect as cred itable representation as possible. From now on it Is expected that the average attendance from Seattle will be consid erably larger. Washington Building Crowded. The Washington building was the Fcene of unusual activity and excite ment yesterday, as the visitors from Seattle congregated there to enjoy the hospitality of the hostesses and marvel at the,, exhibits of their own state. They were eminently satisfied with the Wash ington building and all shared th; opin ion' that it did not suffer in comparison with the other structures erected by fhe states represented at the Exposition. The Administration Band gave a concert at the Washington building In the afternoon. The "Seattle" day exercises were held in the uppper story of the structure at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. John Schram, president of the Seattle Chambor of Commerce, presided as chair man, being introduced by William A. Steel. Executive Commissioner at the Ex position from King County, After a tew words complimentary to Portland, the Exposition and Seattle. Mr. Schram In troduced to the assembly President H W. Goode. President Goodo began by stat ing that it was rather embarrassing to apologize for the Oregon weather, but that the people of Seattle also were visited by occasional showers, and that he believed they were lenient enough to overlook this one rather unpleasant fea ture. He also stated that he hoped that Seattle would some day have a big ex position and then the appreciative citi zens of Portland would have the oppor tunity to reciprocate the Interest and en thusiasm that has been taken in the Fair by the residents of the Puget Sound sea port. Scarcely before President Goode had ceased apologising for the weather, the sun straggled out from behind the clouds and shone down on the Exposition with all its brilliancy for a few minutes. Mayor BnlIIngcrs Address. He was followed by Mayor. R. A. Balllnrer. of Seattle, who said in part: "With hesitancy I will undertake to ex pross our appreciation of your generous welcome on this occasion. "The" people of Ssattle, with their ac customed spirit of good-fellowship, are earnest in their desire for the highest suc cess of this Exposition, which marks one of the prominent events in the history of our country. I bear a message of good will to you from the citizens of the great city of the Sound. "Permit me to say, Mr. President, that we stand for the commercial expansion of our great Northwest; that the growth, the enrichment and the happiness of all por tions of this great country Is a source of Joy to us. Tour growth, your pro!perity and your happiness, as well as our own. should be a source of mutual gratification. A narrow " spirit of Jealousy or rl-alry should find no lodgment among a people tv ho possess the opportunities for develop ment such as are common to the States of Oregon and Washington. Tour advance-' ment along lines of commercial, social and political achievements should, inspire .us to emulate your good works with a manly and noble endeavor to advance the inter ests of our common country. Tou will pardon me if I call your attention to the fact that Seattle and the State of Wash ington are" your offspring. Tou gave us our first beginnings; It waa out of your territory that ours was carveVL We have undertaken to be faithful to the trust which has been laid upon us by our wor thy parent Have we not, Mr. President, been true to that trust? "While we fondly hope to control a fair measure of the trade of the Orient, of Alaska and the Sound, we also believe we are leaving a field of operation open for your great city, and a just share of the trade of the Paacific. "I am impressed with the courage and capacity of your people in not only un dertaking this great enterprise of Illus trating to the American people the Im portant event of the discoveries of Lewis and Clark, but in carrying it forward with such marked success and credit. "Believe me, sir. the good wishes of Se attle and her people are with you to tho end." , United States Senator Samuel Piles, of Washington, was the next speaker to de liver an address. After congratulating j tne imposition oruciais and tne people oi Portland upon the magnificent Exposition that had been erected on Oregon soil. Senator Piles showered compliments upon the Washington building. He told how ably, efficiently and honestly the building and all The Washington exhibits had been managed. "From a little sawmill city nestled in "the towering forests. Seattle has grown to be the Queen, of the Mediterranean of America," said Senator Piles in speaking of Puget Sound. "Under both adverse and favorable conditions. Seattle has grown with a rapidity that is astonishing and amazing until It is the greatest city In the Northwest." he stated, asking the pardon of President Goode. who repre sented Portland. "In years to come Seattle will .be the Imperial city of the Pacific Ocean," continued Senator Plies. "Whether in the Orient or on tho Pacific Coast, Seattle will stand supreme above them all." The exercises were concluded -with a short address by Mr. Schram, the chair man, who advised the people to scatter and see "their" Exposition after they had attended " the reception which followed. The visitors were entertained by the hostesses of the Washington building for Tils week Mrs. H. I. Mead, of Ccntralla. and Mrs. W. M. Urquhart. of Chehalls. Several hundred visitors were enter tained. Refreshments, consisting of punch, wafers and fruit were served. The reception, which was one of the most en joyable and largely attended of the Ex position, was the closing function of the Lewis. County week. Columbia County will preside" at the Washington building this week. Mrs. M. M. Godman, of Dayton, having been selected as hostess. ILLINOIS STATE BUILDING. It Is an Exact -Reproduction of the Home of Lincoln. The final installation work at the Illinois building was completed yester day forenoon, and the Illinois building now stands as one of the most Inter esting places of the whole Exposition. It is a reproduction, inside and out, of Abraham Lincoln's home before ho be came President of the United Stales. There is one of the most complete and most interesting collections ot Lincoln relics ever assembled binder one roof. La r ire numbers of his letters nre ex hibited exactly as they came from the I pen of the great statesman. Books and manuscrlpts, papers and other objots show his various campaigns, and the furnishings of the upper part of the building show his home life. In ono section of the exhibit are two Kmall hnndhllls that hnv rrnnm 1 gruesome associations. One is a circular an nouncing the performance of "Our American Cousin" at the Ford Theater, where Lincoln met his death at the hands of the actor-assassin. The sec ond is a handbill offering: a reward of $100,000 for' the capture of the assassin dead or alive. There are. in addition, a large num ber of relics associated with the early history of Illinois. The most Interest ing Qf these, perhaps, is the collection of portraits of Illinois Governors. This includes a portrait of George III of England and Louis XIV of France, both of whom at different times had direct control of Illinois. There is. too. a pic ture of Patrick Henry, who Is claimed as a Governor of Illinois when that state was a county of Virginia. Tht picture of Charles Deneen, the present Governor, ends tha serlen. which cov ers three centuries. The Installation of the historical ex hibit was supervised by Mr. Jesle Palmer Webber, secretary of the Il linois Historical Society, who came here for that purpose, and who left last night for her home, after having- com pleted the work.

AST0RS BUY REAL ESTATE Agents Arc Investlnjr'in Property In This City. The famous Astor family of New York has Its agents li Portland buying real estate. The Information comes from a man who has recently Invested heavily In Portland property and has certain knowledge to this effect. The buying is being done quietly and. after the Astor fashion, at a bargain, and it Is not pos sible to point to any one piece of prop erty and say that Astor agent has It. though It 13 known that several good sized -areas have already virtually become a portion of the great estate which be gan with the first John Jacob Astor. This noted family has amassed one of the greatest fortunes In the world by selling downtown property at a high fig ure and buying suburban property much more cheaply. Previously It has confined Its operations practically to New York, but it has now realized, what large sec tions of such property as they have been in the habit of buying in Gotham can be secured very close to Portland, which will be Immensely valuable some day. To have the Astors come to Portland shows that property Is unduly cheap here and that the city Is looked upon as an Infant certain to grow Into a great me tropolis. But at the same time It will not do the city a benefit to have them here. Their policy has been to buy and hold, until the value has tripled or quad rupled on account of the Improvements made by others in the neighborhood and then to sell and buy some more cheap property. They did this in New York and will probably do the same here. 3Ien Read History Differently. PORTLAND, June 24. (To the Edi tor.) You certainly did "run into an open switch" by your excellent leader today; and, principally, too. because you were not running on schedule time.

There was no praetorian equity worth the mention, in St, Paul's time, nor until the first Christian Emperor in Rome. Justinian, established the fidel com mlsa (the trust.) During the rule of the consuls (if that la the period to which you refer, when you speak of the republic)' tho only thing of importance which Roman law acquired from "large contact with the world" waa the Jewish doctrine of sales.
