Of these about 1,015,507 are passes and the others all represent 50 and 25-cent paid admissions. The average daily attendance is 19.244. "When the Lewis and Clark Exposition was first opened many people predicted that the total attendance would Have a hard pull to reach even 1,000,000, and any one who had the temerity to estimate as high as 2,000.000 was not taken seriously fcy hlf friends. Old experienced exposi tion men were among those who predicted that the aggregate attendance would no'tj oe mucn more man i,wo,txx. Opens AVith Big Day. The Fair opened with a big day, and from the very start the attendance ex perienced a rapid and an extremely healthy growth. The Exposition officials after the Fair had been open two or three "weeks began to estimate that the total attendance would be about 1,500,000. Then they predicted 2,000.000, but as it was be fore the Fair had been open two months Ihey shoved their estimate up to 2,500, 000, partly because they wanted to put on as bold a front as. possible. But on the closing day these tremendous figures were reached, and the Lewis and Clark Exposition now bears the enviable distinc tion of having the largest attendance of any world's fair ever held, according to Its size. , Visitors From Outside "Paints. Colon H. Mclsancs, of the excursion bureau, who has been following the at tendance from outside points, estimates that 100,000 visitors have visited Portland from Oregon points. This is about 40 per cent of the population. He estimates that "Washington has sent about the same number, and then comes California. The travel from California has probably been heavier than from any other state, but this is -due to the tourists from the East The following is the table of the eslmated numberof visitors to Portland compiled by Mr. Mclsaac: Mr.Workingman, Labor and Its Reward Skilled labor can always command .a good wage, that with the practice of economy enables a man to provide for the rainy day, which we all more or less dread. A blundering workman is dear at any price, andhis work has to be patched up, or better yet, all done over again. This applies forcibly to dentistry, which requires great mechanical skill m the operator. Dentists must be first-class mechanics, or else they will be poor dentists, in other words blundering work men whose work will have, to be done over again in a very short time. ,1 guarantee the highest grade of skill at reason able prices. That is why I have the largest practice in Portland.

Mr. Roberts had the , contract for floating Columbia River j lightship No. 50 wh5n she was first i wrecked and hauled overland two miles before getting back into the water. Official anounccmcnt was made yes terday of the suspension of the license of Captain Hayden, of the tug John Mc Craken, for-six months. His suspension was the result of the investigation of the wreck held by the United States' Inspectors, at which it waa found that at the time of the collision of the Man zanita and the dredge Columbia, Cap tain Hayden had been guilty of a viola tion of tho navigation rules. The Port of Portland Commission has not yet appointed a master in place of Captain Hayden. No further stops nave been taken by the Government to fix liability for the damages to the Manzanita, but it is al most certain that the question will have to be settled in the courts.

RAISING MANZANITA TO BEGIN AT ONCE. By MeaBK of Barren Vcael Is Expected to be liaised "Without Difficulty. Under authority from Washington Major Roessler yesterday awarded the contract for raising tho lighthouse tender Manzanita to J. H. Roberts, of Portland. Mr. Roberts' bid was the low est of six, he offering to do the work for $2875, the Government to furnish two barges, and guaranteeing to com plete the contract within nine days from date of acceptance. The contract is expected to be closeA tomorrow and by Tuesday Roberts -will be at the wreck with full wrecking equipment and ready to begin opera tions. His plan of Talslng the vessel consists in placing -a barge on each side of the wreck, and by means of heavy chains supported from truss tim bers across the barges, and with the aid of the tides to gradually raise the snip, at the same time working her over to the beach. The Manzanita will be worked over lo the Oregon side of the river in this operation and as soon as she rests on the hore so that her deck Is barely above water, divers will patch the hole in her bow and the pumps will be put to w,ork. "When the vessel is floated she will be brought td Portland. Mr. Roberts Is sanguine regarding the success of his contract and looks upon the work ahead as being easy. He will use from 20 to 30 men in the rais ing of the vessel and will make. West port his base of operations. The men will remain close by the wreck so as to be able to avail themselves of every favorable opportunity for work and Mr. Roberts Is confident that with three. or Woodburn, Or., where she will spend a few days with her parents prior to her departure for ,San Francisco. She will take the steamer from that place for Hongkong, on her way to India, where she enters on her work as a missionary, supported by the W. F. M. S. of Oregon. F. W. Power, surlntendent of the SmIley-Sheldon Canning Company, of Blaine, Wash.. Is a guest at the Imperial. Accordingto Mr. Power, while the salmon run the past season was not more than 73 per cent of the average, a much better price than was expected- was 'realized on account of the quality of the catch, and this more than offset the deficiency In pack. He says this condition prevails throughout the .Northwest. CHICAGO, . Oct. H.Oregonlans regis tered today as follows: From Portland-S. M. Mears, at the Au ditorium: S. M.

YOUNG DENIED NEW TRIAL Man "Who Shot Van Dran AVII1 Be Sentenced. Remarkable attendance has marked the Lewis and Clark Exposition ever since it has been open to the public, and yester day another record was established when the turnstiles registered SG.M0. Such an t enormous attendance on the closing day is without precedent, say the Exposition officials, who could hardly believe their, own senses when the returns showed that the admissions exceeded those ot the Fourth of July, and had? taken second place, with Portland day still 1n the lead with S5.H9. Not more than 33.000 people were ex pected at the Exposition yesterday, and BIG FAiRCLOSES. Tho Portland people who have been busy entertaining during the Fair will now have an opportunity to make more home improvements. Their first thought should be to the lighting and heating of the home, and where the best lighting and heating appliances can be secured. The M. J. Walsh CcVs stock of gas and electric chandeliers, electrical and gas appliances, as well as grates, mantels, andirons, spark-catchers and fenders, is the best and most strictly up-to-date. They have no eqial. It will be a pleasure to them to show tho new line just received in those goods. Salesrooms 343 Washington street, corner Seventh. Joseph Young, a saloonkeeper, who was tried and convicted some time ago in the State Circuit Court of shooting Kasper Van Dran, another saloonkeeper, was de nied a new trial yesterday by Judge Cleland. The next step is tho pronounc ing of sentence. Young's attorneys say they may appeal to the Supreme Court. The statute provides for a fine, or Im prisonment in the County Jail or Peniten tiary as a penalty. Young shot Van Dran because he said the latter interfered In his domestic affairs. The mysterious poisoning of Van Dran's wife followed the shooting of the husband, and the mystery remains unraveled.

However, when the gates openea in the morning the visitors began to arrive, and a steady stream-of humanity poured through the gates until about 11 o'clock at night.

'Street-cars were loaded and the sidewalks leading to the entrances were crowded with expectant Exposition sight seers who were hurrying to see the Fair for the last time. There was a slight ces sation of tho Influx ot visitors at about 6 o'clock. At 1 o'clock, however, there was another rush of visitors, and for about an hour the gatekeepers had about all they could do. .and had to work with great rapidity to prevent congestion. The stream of visitors then dropped off considerably, but con tinued to spmc extent until the gates were closed, many people going out late to see the Fair at the very end. The buildings were choked with visitors yesterday as they have been at no other big dajs, the rain driving the crowds in doors. The alsjes of thcvarlous buildings were so crowded at times tljat it was with extreme difficulty a person could go from one end to the other.
