Ore., Oct. 9. To the Editor of the East Oregonian.) Now as the Lewis and Clark center nial exposition is rapidly drawing to triumphant close, I take great pleas ure in offering to you my sincere thanks for your hearty co-operation, The Western World's fair has been an unqualified success. The attend ance has been remarkable. Visitors from every portion of the country have come to Portland during the past four and a half months to see the two great expositions the Lewis and Clark cen tennial, and the wonderful western country. The eyes of the world have been turned towards Portland. Ore, and the Pacific northwest, which fact proves without a doubt that the Lewis and Clark fair has successfully accom plished Its primary object, that of ex ploiting the marvelous country west of the Rocky mountains. Aside from the fact that the Lewis and Clark exposition has been suc cessful in accomplishing its purpose it has also been a financial success. The admissions and money collected from other sources of revenue will en able the directorate to pay a fair per centage of the stock subscription. The attendance is rapidly climbing toward the 2,500.000 mark which is likely to be reached by October 15. The ad missions have gone ahead of those at the Trans-MlsslssippI exposition at Omaha, which heretofore was gener ally conceded to have been the most successful of world's fairs. This result Is more remarkable when It Is consid ered that within a radius of 500 miles of Omaha there live 13.000.000 people while the population within a similar radius of Portland is only 1. 800,000. Too much credit cannot be given the newspapers and magazines of the country for their aid in making the Western World's fair a success. They have supported the exposition gener ously from the first and printer's ink has again obtained the desired result. I desire again to thank you for the assistance your paper has given In tho work of making a successful expos! tion. Yours very truly, FRANK U MERRICK. Manager General Press Bureau.

Railway Is 940,000 Per Mile, How Much Is O. R, & N. Worth? The Uaker City Herald in discuss ing railroad assessments, says: Here is a conundrum for Countv Judge Travllllon. E. H. Hurrlman, the owner of the O. R. & N., Is desirous of buying the Columbia River A Astoria railroad for S 4 0.000 a mile. Now If the Astoria A Columbia River railroad Is worth 340.000 a mile, what is the main line of the O. R. A N. worth? If the O. R. & N. is worth aa much as the Columbia River road, then a one-fourth valuation Der mile would be $10,000, the amount on which the road should Day taxes. In .In .Ice Travllllon going to put his Judgment or the value of railroads against that of E. H. Harrlman? Judge Travllllon says the O. R. A N. la worth oniv 328,000 per mile figured on the basis or an assessment of 16500 a mile Then it Is very evident that Mr. Har rlman Is being buncoed In his nur chase of the A. & C. R., at 340,000 per mile. The purchase by Harrlmnn of the A. A C. R. Is given by the Oreeonlan as follows: 'Within another month E. H. Har rlman will probably own the Astoria A Columbia River railroad. Drovlded he cares to take over the property at a stipulated price of 840,000 per mile named In an option that he holds. It Is held by Thomas H. Hubbard. H. re. Huntington and the C. P. Huntington estate, hence all the securities could probably be acquired at any time by Mr. Harrlman." NEW RILES FOR CHINESE. Plan of Inspection Said to Have Been Formulated. What will probably be the admin istration program for Chinese legisla tion has been agreed upon tentatively and it is understood a bill will be drawn up In December to carry out this agreement is a report that comes from Washington city. Briefly It provides for the appoint ment of special agents of the depart ment of commerce and labor to be stationed at the United States seaports of Asia and Europe whose sole duty will be to inspect Chinese certificates and determine whether or not the holders are entitled to enter the Unltd States. This Inspection Is now done by con suls and their manner of doing It has aroused criticism and created dissatis faction. They sometimes neglect this work and turn it over to a third party. usually a Chinese Interpreter, whose honesty and Integrity are matters of doubt. It Is said Secretary Root IndorseH this policy as It will center all .of the Chinese business in the immigration bureau which Is a part of the depart ment of commerce and labor. Meanwhile Secretary Root will pro ceed to negotiate a new treaty with Minister Cheng which will more clearly define the classes of Chinese eligible to admission to the United States.
