It may not accomplish the ad vertising which it was hoped to secure, but to my mind the building Is not loc king to the extent that some of .the Oregonlans have said. The fair itself Is an enormous exhibit, and I find that considerable complaint Is registered by vi Itors because of the very great dis tances. To visit tbe different parts of the grounds taxes one's energy and many of the slghteseers become tired. The scheme of payment is not at all satisfactory and the fair streets are often very, very, muddy, on which ac count there has been much complaint. All in all, however, the fair is a mag nificent array of exhibits from all parts of the world, and. while .It was opened before it was really ready, visitors gen erally are pleased with it" The delegates who have been attend ing the Norwegian Evangelical Luth eran conference In Astoria have all de parted for their homes.

Pro fessor Brandt, who saw the Pacific yes terday for tbe first time, la greatly pleased with the far west, and he said yesterday there was' a magnificent fu ture in store for this section of the country.
