How to See the Fair Oregon Building, Panama-Pacific Exposition, Sept. 7.-Ore-?onians who want to see the most of the big Exposition in the short est length of time, at the least expense in the long-run and with the greatest comfort and real pleasure, should be located on the grounds. This is the conclusion of the writer after five months experience and innumerable con versations with those who have been both on and off the grounds. Since coming here the writer has lived in Oakland, in San Fran cisco, and upon the grounds. He Sieves that any coming for but one week cannot afford to locate flown in the city, and really de sirable places are no longer to be found, except occasionally, near the grounds. If the trip .is to be of two weeks, at least one week should be spent wholly inside the founds. Located at Inside Inn, f0r instance, one is able to see "side of one week all that can oe seen in two weeks if one lives away from the grounds. The mornings here are the desirable time at the exposition, and this 18 the time wasted when one lives jway.

QUAD Copyright, mi, by the MeClors Newspaper Syndicate. Togo la the southernmost Island In the Cape de Verde group, situated In the north Atlantic. 1 was there In bark which had brought lumber, hard ware, agricultural Implements and oth er stuff, and ou our arrival we found the brig Ivan already at anchor. The commander of a Russian man-of-war on a cruise has more power than the czar at home. The latter must at least have some excuse to send a citizen to bis death. The for mer has ouly to report him dead, and the details are never asked for. Several of the crew on the Ivan were triced tip and flogged In plain view of us on the first day of our ar rivul, and It wasn't long before we learned that the brig was a floating bell. One dark and rainy night, while i was standing anchor watch on our craft, one of the Russian sailors swam off to us. He had come for a talk. Fie knew nothing whatever of geogra- pny and could not tell In which di rection any coast lay. He asked par ticularly ubout the coast of Brazil, the distance, the people, the rivers, etc. He Hnally told me the crew of the brig to a man bad decided to mu tiny, kill the ollicers and run the craft ashore and each man shift for himself until the excitement had blown user. The days went by. There was the usual routine of flogging aboard the Ivan, and a sailor who sprang over board rather than be lashed was cool ly shot down alongside the brig with out being even ordered to return. The next day at 5 o'clock In the after noon the mutiny suddenly burst forth. There were six merchantmen In the harbor, but had the Russian com mander called for assistance It would not have been afforded. At least fifty of us saw the Russian captain shot and thrown overboard, and after him went his first lieutenant Then fol- lowed the paymaster and two others, and the crew had the brig to them, selves. Before going out of the bar bor men were sent to every vessel to show tbelr raw backs and tell how , they had been wronged, and as the brig turned ber head to sea she was fhAprpd. It was a week after when we got ready for sea. bound for Rio Janlero. We had no Idea of ever hearing from the Russians again, but when four days out we ran across a New Bed ford whaler named Scott which gave us some exciting news. Two days be fore she had been brought to by the !., in mio-ocenn. An armed boati crew had come aboard and robbed the whaler of whatever they fancied. The next news came to us iu uu,. later. A gale sprang up from the southwest and before It was four hours old we were compelled to lie to. It struck us about 4 o'clock In the aft- noon and did not reach Its height un S about T next morning. Everything was boiling and howling when we caught sight of the Russian down In e southwest She must have run be fore the gale much longer than we did. noon us.

The Ivan had blown up. She was to windward of us and about bulf a mile away. Tere was a dark cloud, an awful shock, and she seemed to tie lifted bodily up to a height of 100 feet and then to dissolve.
