NUMEROUS DESCENDANTS.
Whenever a wealthy man dies e
pecially in California there are a num
ber of adventurers who claim to lie
either hi legal wife or his common law
wife. A legal wife is defined to be
from a legal marriage by a regular
ordained minister of the gospel, or
some official authorized to perform the
manage ceremony. A common law
wife exists principally in California and
is what i denominated polygamy in
Utah. Most of the wealthy men in
California had a legal wife and a num
ber of common law wives on the side.
This is evidenced by the number of
beautiful young widows who have ap
pealed to the courts for a slice of their
quasi husband's property. Sometimes
they get a slice, and sometimes they
don't
But the latest thing in numerical
descendants, is the large number that
made application to the Lewis and
Clark fair committee to sell relics af
Meriwether Lewis, claiming that they
are descendants of Mr. Lewis and there
fore entitled to recognition. The
claimants of the Lewis toga are almost
without exception mercenary, and
their wants as explained by letter are
many and varied. A resident of Hick
ley, L tah, wants to exhibit a cane, to secure a competency sufficient to visit
which he says was made by Captain another similar exhibition in the future.

also a grand-son, says he has the identi
eat swora witn which Lewis slew an
fair, for its siuivsa doiemW upon the at
tendance and the resultant gate receipt.
Several prominent eiticens of Astoria
have visited the fair and in everv in
stance they have been charged from
2.50 to 14.00 for a room. These peo
ple will not again visit the fair, and
their statement of the outrageous ex
tortion will deter many others from go
ing. If the fair is to be run for the
financial benefit of the Portland hotels.
it will not subserve the ends for which
it was originated
If a man takes his wife to the fair
and remains two days, the least possi
ble expense is $44.00 If lie takes hi
children the rata is correspondingly in
creased, making a visit to all of the
poorer classes absolutely prohibitive.
The result will be that the safes of the
hotels will be full of gold, while the
treasury of the fair management will
be empty. This condition of affairs will
deter thousands of people from going.
Many clerks and men can not afford to
take a full month's salary to uav for
two days' visit at the fair.
The Lewis and Clark fair is vtrtuallv
an international exhibit and is a grand
educational institution for the boy and
girls, but if they are prohibited from at
tending, which thousands of them will
be, it will fail of its mission. The Port
land pre have called attention to the
extortion practiced by the Portland ho
tels, but it has had no effect and instead
of decreasing, it is increasing. As a rule
such actions would result in the decrease
of business at the hotel after the fair
is over, but the indications are, that
every hotel man will be a multi-million
aire when the exposition closes and can
retire from business.
Those who have visited the exposition
from Astoria speak in the highest terms
of it magnitude, its granducr and mag-
niflence, equal in proportion to anv ex
position ever held. It is an exhibition
of not only the grand resource of the
state of Oregon, but of many of the
states of the union. It shows the nro
out the war, and whose powerful in
lluciice has exideiitly been reeogniwd
by the .lrttame by allowing the first
news of Togo's victory to be sent
abroad through the American minister
at Tokio and the American consul at
Xsgassaki. It is to be hoped that
France and Germany, as well as Great
llritain, will back UD President R.uu.

It might be a good scheme to run
idrnt in any efforts he may make to
bring about peace. For Russia to ob
stinately continue the itruerU under
existing circumstances would be noth
ing less than criminal folly.
While Russia has been considered one
of the most powerful nations of the
world it must be remembered that its
soldiers and marines have nothing to
fight for. No man can be a hero and
fight for a country that he hates. No
people will consent to be reduced to a
condition of absolute serfdom, with no
oice in the administration of govern-
mental affairs, without freedom of press
or speech, and fight for such a country
or the malntainence of such laws. No
people will contribute from their scanty
earnings each month to keep a coterie
of licenciou dukes in luxury while their
families are suffering for the necessi
ties of life, and in thi, more than anv
other cause, lie the Russian defeat on
land and sea.
