His com ing wssattended byjio salute of artil lery nor rataplan of drums. He was here in a purely unofficial capacity and save for the Informal dinner tendered him by the Portland Press club at the Sargent Grill, there was no public dem onstration In his honor. The tecond citizen of the land was accompanied only by Private Secretary King and took his cliances on securing a room at the Portland hotel like any ordinary private citizen. The Press club had, the night before, extended Mr. Fairbanks an invitation by telegraph to.be the'guest of honor at dinner, which invitation he accepted by wire, and that dinner was the feature of bis visit and one of the most suc cessful affairs ever held here In compli ment to a public man. Vice President Fairbanks had already made himself en rapport with all the diners by his unaffected friendliness, but it remained for his add less, which was entwely impromptu, to disprove completely the charge o! frigidity to often made against him. While he attempted no oratory, his sddress was eloqueont in the highest sense, and its sincerity was so apparent that all his auditors were deeply im press ed. He will leave tins morning at 8:3U over the O. R. A N. for his home In Indianapolis, making no stops en route. Colorado Graft Ridden.
