It will be an occasion quite full of enjoyment, and there will be things to see that have never been seen be fore. Portland itself is now a city of 90,' 000 people, a beautiful city, with all modern conveniences and the best drinking water in the world. On all occasions tho city is an interesting and inexpensive id ace to see, and you can ride for many miles in airy, open elec tric cars for five cents. There are beau ttful parka to visit, and many attrac tive suburbs, and the five-cent fare en- sbles the visitor to see them all, One of the sights ol this Fourth will be the launching of the torpedo-boat destroyer GohUborough, which is be ing built in Portland at a contract cost to the United States government ol $285,000.

All tht tin-plate works in the country-will b closed midnight Fiiday, as a result ol the failure to settlo the wage scale at the conference in Chicago. Fully 50, 000 persons will be thrown idle by the shut-down. The conference, which opened in Chicago Tuesday morning, closed Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, without arriving at an agreement. The workers' wage committee, acting under instructions reoeived from the annual convention held in Detroit last month, made a demand for an advance of 20 per cent. The present wage scale ex pires June 80, and members of th Amalgamated Association are not permitted to work'after that date, un loss the now scale is signed. About 25,000 skilled workers are members ol the association, aud as many more ar dependent upon them, aud will b idle while the skilled men are unem ployed. that means that there will be many first-class attractions and amusements, all fiee to the people. There will be boat races and . bicvele races and a parade that will excel anything of the kind ever seen in the Northwest, com prising cavalry, infantry, artillery and naval battalions, and all the military bands. In the big procession will be many civic societies and industiial Boats, and theie will be a brilliant public reception to the National Edi toiial Association, whose delegates will number 800. After dark, on the night of the Fourth the summit of Mount Hood will be beautifully illuminated with red fire, and the giand scene will be plainly seen from the streets of Portland, Portland's fiieworks on the Fourth are going to oe grand. JNew designs have been oiiginated, and no expense has been spared to make the display iutresting and attractive. Any and all visitors can well put in several days in Portland and see some thing new eveiy day, and enjoy every minute, and those who come to Port land for their Fourth will make nc mistake. :iaraadlri( af Tiraa br tha Captain tha Caaaa of tha Aeeldeat. Chicago, June 29. A special cable to the Tribune from London says: The Paris disaster turns out to be a simple matter. On leaving Cherbourg, Captain Watkrns entered the departure in the log, "6:35 P. M.," uaing a pen cil. The next entry waa "Passing Caskets, 7:35." The course steered waa almost due west in order to make Lizard light. So as to go through the passage between Cornwall and the islands, the usual piactice is, if the Lizard light is not made at a certain time, to change the course to the south and go clear of the islands. On this occasion this was impossible, as, owing to the misty night, they could not see the Eddystone light. The captain consulted the log when about opposite Eddystone. He mistook the entry and lead the time of leaving Cherbourg as 7:35. the time of pass ing Caskets, instead ol 6:35, the real time of leaving Cherbourg. Conse quently the captain judged himself about 17 miles farther from the Coin- wall coast than be really was, and de layed cnanging the course (or one boor, just sufficient to run the Paris right on the coast.
