It required no stuffing or manipulation
of the returns for the admissions to pass
the 2,500,000 mark at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition yesterday, and when the turn
etlles had clicked for the last time last
night It was found that the total at
tendance is 2,545,509. 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

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.
Crown and Bridge Work
Has been brought to the highest state of perfection
at this office, and the most exacting customer will be
delighted with the results obtained. The best work,
and living prices on both sides is my motto.

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.

ROBERTS GETS CONTRACT
WORK OF. 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.

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,

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.

estimate on. the admissions was rather j
high. 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.
There was nothing surprising about the
attendance In the morning, but In the
afternoon the people came by the thou-,
sands. '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.
The Centennial Guard experienced but
little trouble In holding the crowds in
check on the Trail at night. There were
