The ships at anchor in the harbor, which compose part of the United States Government magnif icient display at the Coast Fair, are the protected cruis ers Boston and Chicago, and the torpedo destoyer Per ry. They remain indefinitely, possibly for the whole Exposition period, and certainly for several weeks. Leading exponents'of va: i us creeds will speak at the Sunday services at Lewis and Clark Exposition, which are held in the Auditorium, at f air each Sun day afternoon. The list of those who will preach during the Exposition includes some of the !xst known divines from all parts of the country, and assures the rwpularity of the services. On Sunday the admission io the grounds has been reduced from fifty to twenty five cents. The gates are opened at noon, and the ex hibit palaces are open until six o'clock. The amuse ment features on the Trail are not permitted to run. The Columbia County exhibit is not what it ought to le, but it is just what the people has nude it They live passively sanctioned the acts of the commissioners in the appointment cf the gentleman who has charge of mr exhibit and they have accepted without a murmur or protest the little work that has been done. Now it is a well known fact that Colnmbia County is not pre pared to compete with the counties that have had agri cultural and horticultural exhibits s t the fair. But with a man or woman at the back of our exhibit we can yet have a much better exhibit than we now haye, and may in the near future excel all other counties in quality of our products if not in quantity. Any article left at this office or at the Mist office will be taken up to the Fair and placed on exhibition free of charge. I'rlng in your c 10'ce pio ucts and let us show the world what our country produces. raw material into finished products. While each section has some one or more indus tries, Houlton has a large stave factory that employs ab the way from (") to H ) hands, who spend a portion of their wages among the several business houses in the town. So whiie Houlton is supplied, the same condi tions are found at Ooble, Rainier, Mayger and Clatska nie. All have one or more enterprises that puts its product into' the market, the loats and rail shipment continuing throughout the year, giving employment to numerous willing hands. Rainier aud Clatskanie are favorite t nvns and , have good cause to feel satisfied with existing cendi- tions. What is true of Rainier is true of Clatskanie, when it comes to milis that manufacture the timler iu iutc commodities. It is a pay roll that helps a town. It is good roads that brings the. farmer to town, who trades with his heme 'merchant.-'-' Our merchant and business men are of the live and let live class, selling as cheap or cheaper than the same goods can be pur chased in Portland, .

All is activ ity aud hustle, and there is no excuse for seeing idle men when we take into consideration the many lines or avenues that require extra help that have sprung up; and in which one with a little grit or back bone and pnsh can make himself useful. The advantages to let ter cne's self ore much more in evidence here than in eastern states, where everything is overdone where it is so easy to acquire a little piece of ground and raise something and make a start in life. The scenery, the climate, water, shipping facilities, society, , churches and schools are all here. Come and make us your friends, and look us over from one end of the county to the other.
