SHALL THE'FAIR GO- ; : ' TO Interviews With Portland Citizens on, the All Important Matter," Now that the question of the Fair site ha been renewed by the report of the txecutlv ' committee's ; sub-committee favoring the City Park. Tne Journal is endeavoring to find ouf the sentiment of Hie peopl of the city oh the question, end"' UifPiiended verbatim Interviews with Portland cltlicns In various walks of life may prove Interesting. A. number of labor leader were among hnrt interviewed ob the Question. The only objections expressed against the ntr Park site was on account of Its roughness. One man said; . "It; will be an up and down hill walk for the visitors from the time they enter the" place until they lea ye it. Again. the transportation facilities to the park art Cf- the poorest character. On every Sunday now it Is almest Impossible- to rt t tide there, all the cars being; full When the cars are crowded , now, what would be the result during the Fair? I think that It should be held along the river bo that people could o- either toy rail or water," COLONEL H,, E. XK5SCIL. "t have not given the' matter much thought, but If -all difficulties can be urmounted-and - there . are many the City Park would ell right for a Fair site, as It Is public,' not private, property, and pan cause no jealousies to exist be tween property-owners.". '' -. :., P. X ,W;QRTHINGTON, DEPUTY V. S. V i MARSHAL.'- ' "By all means I would favor , Haw thorne Park. It la the easiest of access of any site yet mentioned, both for per rons' attending the Exposition and for those who desire to make exhibits. The latter. tat least Would 'not have to climb a mountain with their goods, . which means a. great deal. , .' ''Aa far a the City park affording a fine view of the' mountain is concerned, that is undoubtedly true, but people are - not coming. to the Exposition for that purpose Alone, Whvn -they desire to properly : view the mountains - they will make'th trip up, the Columbia, "Hawthorne Park in 10 years wjll mark the center of population, for the East Side by that time will have as largs a number of- residents as the' West Side, . if not more. .

"What -have 1 to say concerning the City Park as a site for the Exposition? If you refer to The Exposition' as the show proposed by the sub-committee of thres, I have nothing to say. It will be a matter ; of no concern to the people where it will be held. For such a show the oid Pavilion and Multnomah field would be ample room.- If we can't have an Exposition In keeping with the great-i tiess'of this Northwest countrv and malia It accredit to the cltlsen of Portland., we would better shut up shop before we go any farther. The whole trouble with our Exposition Is that the board ot di rectors has not to exceed three men who are in 'any sense showmen, and those men are kept silently In the rear. This snould be a big show and we should hove showmen to. run it. Bankers and. cheese-paring" business men are all well enough on the board, but wha? we need now are men-to spend the money and not men tq save it. inis talk about gate receipts being the first consideration I ajutluihe- .rut.

If that board of directors would select Mr. Rbwe, or - carnival fame; Mr,. Poach, of exposition fame, and Jlr. Johnson, of Astoria, and turn the "whole enterprise over to these noted and conservative showmen, ,they would, by ' that act. exhibit a piece pf ound sense, at least.

"It is my humble r opinion that the City.ParH is not the proper site foil ' the liawls and Clark Exposition, It Is too . difficult of aocess, and for the pre sent, at least, there la a lack of proper transportation faculties. It is loo high up In the air. anyway. A big exposi tion with the tramp of countless feet would come pretty near to spoiling it "as a park. My personal choice would Be Hawthorne Park.

"I am In favor of Hawthorne Park, first, last and all the time as the only proper site for the Lewis and Clark -ix position In 1906.

I believe that the Fair will be compelled to depend .more on- local pa tronage than on that from the outside, and the place, that is easy to get to will catch ths crowttr-and the dollars.

KENTUCKY COLONEL WhatWattersori Thinks of Our CJimate.

"1 am greatly impressed WltlT', the weather conditions which I .have en countered hare, and thinlc the people of Oregon should appreciate the glorious cli mate.

There seems to be such a diversity of' resources here that there Is no end to the possibilities. , "Portland I find to be a great and grow ing city,, and . with the exposition you are planning . for UK, will forge ahead very .rapidly and become a great, com mercial center, backed as It Is by the Immense area of agricultural, and mining domain. "All that I have heard of Oregon and Portland seems to be verified, and I am delighted.. From -What I have heard of the scenery along the Columbia river, I would enjoy a trip up that way. It is magnificent, I have every reason to be lieve," ' COUNTRY WITHOUT COAL. Argentina ts an example of a country which has ho coal and is compelled to send thousands of miles for all It buys. yet in spite of this great disadvantage Argentina is building more' factories and Shops and developing more Industries than any other Latin-American country except ing Chile. Argentina buys nearly all its coal from Great Britain. The freight rates are usually quite' low, tor a great many ves sels that go to Argentina for wheat would reach Buenos Ayres or Roaario in ballast it u wera not ror the opportunity to loaa up at Cardiff or some other British port with coal, Our coal, at the pit's , mouth, I'Ij cheaper than British coal, but if there is a way to send it to Argentina as cheap ly as England sends her coal to the La Plata oountrles we have not discovered It, so England monopolies the Argentine coal trade. ; . ,, 1 - . A curious thing happens when Argentina has a large supply of coal on hand and is importing less than usual. Then many of the grain ships enter the La Plata in ballast, and not having brought over any profitable cargo, they try to make up for It by charging f. higher prrbei for carrying wheat to England. We thus see that there Is really a connection between the quantity of the coal Imports Into Argen tina and the cost of wheat transportation from that country to Europe... RATES JUMPING.

It waa the key to the situation. Agitation "or silence, then, was the great struggle. The Oregonlarrt had long been the only medium, for reachlnr that publlo opin ion. For four years! have sought an au dience with Portland people on this question, all Important to them and to us. The Oregonlanu turned Its-face, like flint, against any discussion,' agitation, on the subject' If would neither discuss it nor allow It to be discussed In its columns. It has, besides, ' used every Journalistic art to fan the flame of jeal ousy between the . two i port and to deepen the conviction that Astoria' sea-, p-cirt supremacy .meant Portland's com mercial doom. It waav Impossible for me or y ,pne offering the Idea that As toria was Portland' own - ocean port, to get Into the columns, of that paper for agitatlob on that subject. . Some three year ago while I was mak ing "Rom howl'.' , on the outside with my contention cononrred in, by the way, on a notable occasion by President Mellon the Oregonlan and A. B. Ham mond began a discussion on the ques tion of the justice ot a common point on grain . export ; fort Astoria. ., Many, lead ing men In both cities engaged in -4hat discussion. , Without jexceptlon the en tire discussion was based on the false and obtrusive assumption that Astoria' seaport supremacy meant her commer cial supremacy . and .

This discussion ' lasted several, months, ,,and only . closed when Hon. D. K. Warren shied his castor into the ring with the opposite basic idea. That discussion waa doubtless engineered by the secret Influence to harden Port land' heart against asking or even con senting to .a. common point .on exports for Astoria, -the Oregonlan chorusing all the., time tha, it was purely a "railroad question.". I sought in every way to get Into that discussion in order to refute the basic assumption and to show Portland that , her primacy , depended on having a common point, with Seattle and Tacoma extended to her ocean-seaport I wrote. In Jnj . own , name, 'directly to . Editor Soott. but my letter wa . ignored. I se cured others to father like articles. ; The secret Influence excluded them. Finally, I wrote to A, B. Hammond, who waa the focus of the discussion,, and Bought to have him turn the discussion to the true issue that "of Portland's interest in demanding the common point for her own ocean port He", too, refuted to Urge that Idea, claiming he did not conoar In It. He seemed willing to solidify Port land' false fear of ruin from Astoria' seaport, supremacy." " . . Later, in May, 1800, I succeeded In get ting' the Astoria i Common - Council to pass a's'erle of resolutions, declaring in substance the great truth developed In the preceding eight letter and asking the Oregonlan to open it column to a discussion of them," so that Portland's false fear might be eradicated and the harmony of ' interest between , the two cities - 'made plain. Instantly a great commotion wa excited, and the secret Influence induced-the Oregonlan to refuse the request I have 4 letter from H, W. Scott to Councilman Cook, leader of the movement';?
