Portland. 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.

RATI .ROAD VALVES.
it A. & C. 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."
