will prove that true hospitality is not confined to the South. They
expect that many people will settle in the thriving western metropolis,
and that many more will locate in the vastly rich country tributary
to Portland. The railroads have made rates which in no case
exceed one fare for the round trip, and are doing everything in their
power to bring the people west, and it is likely that thousands upon
thousands will take advantage of the opportunity to see a part of
the country which almost every American wants to see. Visitors will
find Portland a most delightful place to spend a vacation, and within
a few hours' journey they may enjoy sea bathing, or may view some
of the grandest river, mountain, and farm scenery in the world.
The Exposition will be open until October 15, every day. The
gates will open at noon on Sundays.

HE Lewis and Clark Exposition reflects great credit upon the
enterprise and progressive spirit of the men of the far Wesl,
and it is of manifest interest to all Americans.
Our people are ever quick to seize opportunities for trade ex-
tension, and they are not slow to discern the special advantages which
they now possess in the Pacific.
To this perception is due no small measure of determination to
make the present celebration an occasion of great commercial im-
portance, a fact the significance of which our manu-
facturers and merchants will readily apprehend. Al-
ready the line of progress, drawn under circumstances
of danger and difficulty a hundred years ago, has been
projected across the ocean at many different points.
The Stars and Stripes float over the palace of kings
in Honolulu, and the morning sun shines brightly on
Old Glory which waves over the gray old battlements
of Manila.

nese arms promises still larger opportunities by remov-
ing the obstructions which Russian dominance placed
in our way, and is certain to give a fresh impetus to
our trade in the Pacific.
The exhibition at Oregon, therefore, serves not alone to remind
us of the pioneers of 1805, but may also mark the beginning of a new
era in the industrial development of our country—the era of the
