eventual decision,
POLITICS DELATED MATTERS,
Absorption on that part; of many promi
nent cltlsens in the ' recent campaign
caused the delaying of much of the work
of preparation. Now that the election has
been . held and the issues" of that event
aro decided. It Is expected Mat there will
be nothing to Interfere with the needed
progress t toward the completion of the
plans.
Some of the people who are Interested
in the project. are becoming nervous on
the subject of. the amplitude of the prepa
rations that. must-be made if the Fail,
be ready for the opening. It has been
thought that Portland might attempt to
make this Exposition an exception to the
rule of all of the others that have, been
held during recent years; Indeed, all that
have ever been held. In that the gates
shall swing open on the appointed dajr
with everything In readiness. Such s
feat would recommend the Fair to the
world as worthy especial attention, .f -"LET'S
BE HEATJT," BATS ONB. .
A gentleman prominent In the manage
ment said to Ths Journal on this point:
"I say, let us be ready for the open
ing, and have things In shape for the
beginning on the day named as the open
irsg. This s important from the stand
point of the finances. Usually, exposi
tions that have been held are not Teady
for days and days, sometimes for weeks,
and . the receipts are therefore cut off
by Just that much,, people waiting for
the .exhibits to be prepared before going.
The period of actual attendance, is, as a
consequence, reduced considerably, and
the finances suffer its a, result. Let's Te
ready on time.tlf "ivlll 'pajr." ,""
To accomplish this end, it will be neces
sary to utilise all the tlftia femalnlng, and
masters must be hurried fjopi this time
on. Is the ..view of., most of those who
are interested In the Exposition; J
companied by their wives" and families.
The local councils . of Minneapolis and
St. Paul have provided great entertain
ment, and nothing wilt be left undone
to conduce to the enjoyment Of the visit
ors. , The large attendance is an Indica
tion of the prosperity of the organization,

THUNDER MOUNTAIN
' " ROAD NOW OPEN
Vt : - ' . i ii i ii ii i,
BOISE., Idaho. June 13.-The long block
ade between outside, points and Thunder
Mountain la. now fairly, broken, and work
will soon be under full headway in the
camp: It has been impossible for the
mining companies to start until they could
get in supplies. , While many people have
been going In, and out over various trails,
there have been no opportunities to get
a large amount of supplies in until now.
The main factor In clearing up the situ
ation is the opening of what is known
as the Caswell trail. This lies on the
highland on the water between the middle
and south forks of the Balmon. and there
force free from high water troubles.
Thai trail is now open. It is reached by
wagon road from Boise.

that .a significant argument against the
addition to ...the. schools was that the
teachers were opposed to it.
' This i was -answered by t.ie statement
that the Portland Teachers' Club at a re
cent meeting had Adopted resolutions in
support. of kindergartens, and it. was
also shown that the teachers opposing
the movement were those who lutd not
kept up with the march of progress In
educational lines.
One argument principally came from
the men.'t was that children should be
kept with their mothers until th"ey were
6 years old, then they were ready for the
primary department of public schools.
In order'to. secure as large a vote as
possible from the women, a number of
carriages will be provided to take them
to the polling places.

Every klndergartner knows the relation
