THE END TOMORROW..
At 11:30 tomorrow night the
gates that have admitted thous
ands upon thousands of people
to the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion in Portland will close for
the last time. Take everything
into consideration, the Fair has
been successful beyond the
dreams of the wildest enthusiast.
It has been well patronized, both
by home people and people from
abroad.
One thing was very noticeable
and that was the interest mani
fested by the entire coast popu
lation. The majority of the
states of the great West did

foreign countries contributed to
maice tne fair a success and the
exhibit oi our general govern
ment was of such high order
that every visitor remarked on
- it. Among our sister states
there was an absolute absence of
any petty jealousies, and this
within itself is a matter for con
gratulation. .'-",
Will the result Justify? is the
question that will be asked. We
think so. It should prove a good
investment for Oregon and the
entire coast. Financially, the
supposition is. from what is
given out, that the Exposition
was successful beyond what was
hoped. At any rate, so far as
can be learned there are no debts
hovering about the Lewis and
Clark Incorporation again con-
gratulations are due and merit
ed. The management must have
been good.
The Fair has been a most lib
eral education for thousands of
people. Here they saw much
that never again will they have
opportunity to see. . The mind
was improved and the senses
awakened to the possibilities : of
man and his ingenuity. In the
way of entertainment nothing
was lacking - and pleasurable
things were in evidence on every
' hand- Portland : herself . is, de
5. serving every commendation, for
the liberal . price of necessary
; entertainment - for her guests
.x. during their sight-seeing sojourn
. within her limits- ' . . .
. -Thousands of eastern people
- were attracted to Oreeron and
the entire coast who, had it not

been for t no. Fair, . would not!ewrvr;tirt fr vr-n..-

True, many of them; a large
majority, in face, have returned
to their homes. This was as
should have been expected, but
many have remained with us to
assist in developing our country
and her resources. Those who
returned home are certain to
talk of us as a people . and of our
country and in either case we
have no fear of the results. For
years to come they will talk and
this talk will be our advertise
ment. ' Many of them will re-j
Lurn jusr, as soon a,s they can
dispose of their interests in the
East. Will the Fair pay? Wait

Against Repudiation. .
That it will not. be! good policy
for the, . State Land Board . to
ad 'jit the plan of repudiating
state land certificates obtained by
fraud, is the" opinion expressed
Attorney-General Crawford in
his argument before the Board in
the DeLaittre contest.; in this
and in some ether important par
ticulars the Attorney-General
agreea wua ts. u. Watson, at
torney for DeLaittre..
The question whether the
Board shall caned the Certificates
held by DeLaiii rf and his associ
ates was befoie i!-e Board, but
the attorneys foi b .h . sides
agreed that the Boat . 1 has no such
power. It was shown that the
law gives the board power to de
cide controversies between rival
applicants far the same piece of j
""ai puwct.is given,
fc r the Board to start a contest it-
beu anu cancel cemncates I sale
for fraud.
Attorney-General Crawford
holds that the Board has power
t.j direct him to bring suit in the
courts to secure cancellation of
. . . w
ie ceruncaie, . me same as an in-
dividual may bring suit to cancel
a contract obtained bv fraud
Mr Watson opposed ti e Attor
ney-General on this, point, argu'
ing tnat the Board cannot order
a suit brought until a deed to' the
land has hrm issue-1, when a suit
could be brought to cancel the
deed. Both sides tacMy agreed
that ceitificates of sale 6f state
land are not invulnerable in the
hands of innocent purchasers, but
t-.iat every purchaser of a certifi
cate takes it subject, to all the
conditions that affect the original
purchaser. ,
The Attorney-General admit
ted that if the State Land Board
brings suit to cancel cc-itificates
of sale, it must tender return of
money paid. He doubted wheth
er it would be wise for the state,
from a financial standuoint. to
' ouuw.ui.
cancel the sales and return the
money, for, in many instances,
the price received is as much as
tne land is worth. His view
that it would not be pood oolicv
to adopt the rlan of cancel int
' - - a
certificates, was based ucon the
reason that tins practice will raise
uuuuguuut ine jiasi me Denei
tnat the land titles in Oregon are
unsafe and thereby discourage the
immigration.
The Board took this matter
under advisement.
On Convict Labor.
Last issue we ran an editorial
on convict labor as applied to
road work in Oregon. A recent
issue of the Portland Labor Press
contains the following interest
iag article on the subject:
The benefits to our state from
the possible outcome of the pres
ent movement set in motion by
the recent appointment of a state
road commission are inestimable."
This commission was provided
for by the passage by the last leg
islature of Senate Concurrent
Resolution No. 31, which pro
vides for a committee 'of .five to
examine into the feasibility of
constructing a macademized road
from Portland to the south line of
the state, the work to be per
formed by convict labor. The
commission held its inital meet
ing .September , 20, effected its
organization, - and :, already has
committees at work on trie prac
tical progress of its business. It
is bou d, however, to report on
the feasibility of the "proposition,
and will render its findings up
on this point as trulv and hon
estly as upon any other. This is
a work that should receive the
encouragement and assistance of.
au greatly improves a state or a
a. 7 m
country as good roads, and no
state has half enough of them.
The very nature of the question
at once places it beyond the con
test of partisan politics, and noth
ing can constitute a reason for
opposition to the movement save
possible obiection to the lnnation
On this point it should be re-
mem Derea ttfat above and far be

the resolution, which h as hrnno-hfr

ence, and which provides for a
certain stretch ot road" is. the
question of practicabilitv of em
ploying the convicts on the roads
If it is practical to hnild rm
good piece of road of sufficient
extent to demonstrate the suc
cess of the venture. . it will he
practical to keep. , the "convicts
employed in road building all the
time. The principal argument
in favor of the scheme is that it
takes the work of the convicts
out of competition with .the free
labor, of thet state bjr creating an
entirely new field for their ser
vices which, except for the ques
tion of the best possible errinWl
ment of the convicts themselve?,
would not be created for
years at least. The micim.

readers to help make this a live

fice ask him how lie stands
on this road question,- and speci-

respectfully call the' attention of
tlic prtsst theciiy and the stat
to this matter and urge, that they
give the subject thought and then
discuss it in their columns as
thev conscientiously think it
should be discussed.
Let us all constitute ourselves
a joint commission in this mat
ter. If you think the venture
unsound, ay so and give your
reasons. If every dissenting ar
gmneut can'- be thoroughly off
set, and an unauimity ot public
support secured such as a work of
so generally beneficial nature as
this should have, it is quite con
ceivable that the result will be a
permanent character of internal
improvement for the state SHch
as no similar outlay has ever ac
complished. It is of paramount
moment that this road commis
siou shall report favorably upon
the feasibility of this Dlan. and it
is up to the citiiens of the state
to help show the
commissioners
that it is ieasible
