'Possibly one reason that people are
not hurrying into St. Louie more rapidly
la the fact of this being ths year of
presidential - campaign - which - always
makes finances stringent to a greater or
leaaer decree, and for thl reaaon many
would prefer not making the necessary
expenditure at this time, consoling
themselves with the aasurance that

middle west people showing much . in

their intention .to attend. But of all
theae expositions ths Columbian world

there, yrt it was nt "f hn half,

another uch how will not b held
within the next decade, certainly not in
America. - . . K . . .
Comparing the Columbian and Louis
iana Purchase expositions, many dlsslm
ilarltlea ss well as similarities are to
be noticed. A to th. main exposition
building they bear a striking likeness
in architectural-design to-those-of th
"White City" of '91 and of cour.e art
constructed of the sama class of ma
terial. In the matter of guarda, at Chi
cago there were $,000 Columbian guards,
while at St Loul. ths 1.140 acres, which
lack, nut 0 -acrerxif-iloTibling' the"shm
of Chicago's grounds, are patrolled by'
only 100 men. the Jefferson guards, in

In a previous letter the matter of
prtcea was" "ffealtrwtth-and,, the amount
of money one must spend to see th fair, f
and after a three weeks stay there, th
atatement may be reiterated that on
person can manage to live ..nicely for
$1.75 to $4 a day, excluslv of admis
sion to ths - grounds, Pike attraction
and souvenirs. .Fifty cents is th price
of admlsilon to the grounds. Th Pike
attractions vary from II cents to $1,
and ona can apend much or little in th
way of sou venire. Of course many peo
ple who go to th fair, either through
Indifference or poor management , find
their expense abnormally high, bu.t if
ona make sufficient effort to find them,
there are numberless places which are all
one could ask for a to comfort and
fairly good etyle, and wher th amount
given will ,be ample.
-In this connection-It msy be well to
venture th hop that In th coming
Lewi and Clark fair, Portland' flat
and rooming houses will not be per
mitted to go 'into the hands of any sort
of a combine or syndicate. St. Louis ia
at present suffering terribly from such
a concern. In the early spring a com
bination was i affected .which took in
practically all "the ' desirable flats and
rooming houses - of th city and rents
were ralaed to unheard' of price. Flat
which had brought $37.10. per month
were' raised to $60 th first jump- and
without. further sdo. to $180. On nat
urally wonders wher th syndicate im
agined the plain citlsen of St, Loul
would be able to mak th money to
meet such a demand, arid lna.much a
thl question has not .been satlafactorlly
answered as yet, St Louis is full ot
empty houses. ' People -left comfortable
flats which they had occupied for year
to take email, unde.lrable place far In
th . auburba, many men absolutely
moved their famfllea out of town, or
stored " their, household goods and sent
thelr-familles to board the Bummer cut
In. small places. Many were not for
tunate enough to be abl to meet th
situation In any of thee various way
and being compelled to retain their
