IT1S MARVELOUS
ATTENDANCE AT LEWIS AND
CLARK FAIR EXCEEDS ALL
, - EXPECTATIONS. '
Has Already Passed the Two Million
Mark and Bids Fair to Reach More
Than Half Million Yet All Possible
Expenses Paid and Some Prcflt.
IOSTLAND, Or, Sept. 23. (Spe
ciaL) It i said that with the receipts
of the Lewis and ' Clark exposition np
to "Friday night ' the exposition paid
all its past and possible expenses. What
money may be taken in oy the fair
daring the next twenty-three days will
be devoted . to payment to the stock
holders of a part of their capital in
vested, . In this particular the Lewis
and Clark fair will be unique jn the
history of all each expositions. The
attendance has passed the two million
mark, and it is safe to prophesy that
the attndanee for the rest of the fair
will reach .350,000, making the total
attendance 'over two million and a
quarter. ; , -'. ; v
As an artistic success, an exhibitivo
success, the Lewis and Clark fair will
have a place in history ahead of any
ever yet attempted, excepting, perhaps,
the fairs at St. Iuis, Chicago and
Paris. :; . ;
It in safe to predict that - nearly
every man, woman and child ia western
Oregon win have seen this fair before
its final close, and the attendance from
the east has been something marvelous.
The transcontinental railways have been
taxed to their utmost, and this is still
their condition. x'assenger agents de
clare that their every effort to supply
1'ulJrnaa and toucjst sleepers for the
accommodation of the people yet pre
paring to journey from the east to
the fair is futile. They sitnplycannot
meet the demand. Heavier traina were
never hauled over the transcontinental
roads for io long a: period at a time
before in their history.
The Southern J'aeifie is preparing for
its heaviest traffic yet of all during the
following sixteen days.' It is just now
circulating in California one of the
handsomest folders yet published re
garding the fair, and this folder should
certainly aid ia increasing the attend
ance from that state, for it is very
attractive and shows the jfair to be
worth seeing.
The stock show Is said to be the fin
est in point of quality ever yet seen
in the United Htates. Of course, in
point of numbers, it is said, there have
been others to excel, but' in character
of the stock shown there has been none.
, Senator C. W. Fulton left Portland on
Friday night for Washington. Senator
Fulton expects to return to Oregon on
October 10, and after the Republican
"rally" at Portland will make a tour
of the state. - Senator Fulton expects a
great ileal from the coming conference
o Republicans at Portland and believes
it will lead to a good end. Senator
Fulton appreciates the necessity of a
harmonious organization of the party,
and sugests that precinct clubs be
formed. The idea meets with much
approval. A prominent Republican, in
speaking about the coming meeting of
Republicans at Portland on October 12,

suggests that the meeting be turned
into n grand rally, Republican parade,
etc., and that the exposition make it
