It Is frequently remarked that the Heading Itoom Is one of the greatest conveniences established in the towu. The privilege one has of reading the dally papers, magazines & etc, and for half price any of the magazines can be bought. During the past week many persons going in the country have taken advantage of this and quite a number of the magazines aud weekly papers have been disposed of. The abseuse of many of the trus tees from towu prevented a meeting Mouduy evening. With the excep tion of a few bills to be considered there was uothiug of importance to transact. To the Exposition. Portland, Oregon, Exposition Grouuds, June 20, 1SW5, Mii. Euitor: Do not wear uew shoes; have very comfortable ones, if you want to have a good time; eat your supper or dluner six o'clock at the exposi tion and remain for the music, the magnificent electric lighting and the Trail Shows at night also for the fire works. Do all the outside tractions in good weather, should It rain you can do the buildings. Innes famous band plays constantly this month. The usual charge for ad mission when It tours the country is ; fl.00; here it is free to all. Other popular bands will follow It next month. Remember that Portland can be seen at any time; the Expo sition never again. Upon entering the Exposition, purchase a program, study all the exhibits carefully and talk with those in charge; they de sire you to do so. Become Instruct ed, gain information, and then for fun, for recreation, go to the Trail every day or night. If you have not rooms and accomodations positive ly engaged, price and time of coming fully agreed upon In writlug with responsible parties, go to your rail road ticket agent at your station as long in advance of coming as pos sible, he will save you time, trouble, and possibly, the necessity of mov ing your quarters after reaching here. He is authorized by 1 lit rail road company to locateyou through the Portland Service Company here; he can give you accommodations at any price ut any hotel or private house in the city, and will have yel low capped boy meet you at the train aud conduct you to your quar ters, avoiding all chance of hold-up or unfair treatment by the numerous Irresponsible agents who surround the railroad station. Do not expect to see this great Fair thoroughly In less than fifteen days; certainly ten visits should be made to it. Do not attempt, or make the usual mistake, of doing too much the first few days. Take one or two buildings lu each day aud rest frequently. Visit the United States Government building at least three orfour times. Witness the great life saving drill by Govern ment Officials aud Seamen. Visit the Trail amusements every day or night, taking them all In, at least once during your visit. With rare exceptions, they are well worth the price of admission. One of the most original aud novel Is the Great Siber ian Railroad Exhibit; It Is the larg est and most costly and was most popular at St. Louis the only large one brought here, another Is The Igerotes, from the Philippines wild and naked savages, which will be here in July. There are many others worth seeing. Another Ex position of this size Is not liable to be held on .the Pacific Coast In the next twenty years. Do not Insist upon being located too near the Fair Grounds; it is just as well to be down town, the farther you are .from the Fair, the more certain you are of having a good comfortable seat in the street car. Don't bring much baggage, leave your trunks at home If you can pos sibly do without them. Register your name and Portland address, as well as your home address, at your State building. Yours M. W. A. J. C.Oliver was over from the west Side Saturday. Mr. Oliver says the west Siders will have the best crops this year they ever had since that part of the valley began to settle up. He says he has rye as high as his head and still growing, his wheut Is doing fine, and other crops will be good, except fruit. Cedar vllle has announced that it will not Celebrate, the Fourth. This will probably result lu a large crowd at-coming here from Bid well. GRAND PROGRAM FOR THE FOURTH The Eagle will scream on the Fourth and will be aided by the Eagle Lodge of Lakevlew. One of the best and mostelaborate programs ever prepared lu Eastern Oregon on such an occasion Is ar ranged In every detail. Not a stone has been left unturned to make com plete the round of pleasures and not au obstacle remains to mar thedny's festivities. People will be here from all over the county, some from Klamath county and some from Modoc coun ty, California. Every detail has been looked after in the matter of preparing accommo dations for the Immense crowd that will visit our cown on that National Holiday.

Come everybody, and have the time of your life. The Vote for Goddess of Liberty. Only one more week of voting for Goddess.
