There have been interesting events
of many kinds at the Portland fair
during the summer The pecuniary
success of the exposition has been a
great surprise to every one It is an
ticipated that the flow of visitors will
continue unabated until the closing of
the gates the middle of October At
tendance thus far has surpassed ex
pectations The million mark was
passed before the fair was half over
and it is now expected the admissions
will reach 2500000 To the surprise
of most persons a large proportion of
the attendance is from the east The

the transcontinental trip have induced
many to cross the Rocky mountains who
never before thought they could afford
to do so Not only have they seen the
Portland fair but they have witnessed
the glories which Mother Nature al
ways has on exhibition in the far west
and along the Pacific coast As the
autumn is the ideal time for such a
trip the travel westward during Sep
tember and October is likely to be
heavy
Visitors to the exposition had an op
portunity recently to study the results
of Uncle Sams new educational policy
with respect to the Indians A band
of Indian girls as well behaved up to
date and refined as any of their white
sisters walked through the turnstiles
and proceeded to see the fair They
had journeyed to Portland without any
assistance from the federal govern
ment and earned the money Avith which
to make the trip by giving entertain
ments en route The girls were from
the Shaw Indian school in Montana
represented seven different tribes
and one of them belonged to the Sho
shones of which Sacajawea the heroine
of the Lewis and Clark expedition
was a member In their entertain
ments the girls played basket ball pre
sented the famine scene from Hiawa
tha gave a pantomine entitled The
Star Spangled Banner did club
swinging and at other points in the
programme resolved themselves into
a mandolin club
Several members of the club showed
marked elocutionary talent
The exposition now has a visitor
from Mars or some other distant plan
et Twelve powerful horses were re
quired to drag the visitor to the
grounds It is a massive meteorite of
inany tons weight and fell at some
time in the more or less remote past
in the woods of Clackmas county
about fifteen miles from the exposition
site It was discovered in 1902 by a
prospector who supposed it to be iron
ore He kept his discovery a pro
found socret and at once endeavored to
get possession of the land on which it
was located Failing in this he
moved the iron to his own land nearly
a mile distant Special trucks had
to be constructed for the task which
was one of considerable difficulty as
secrecy was maintained in regard to
the whole proceeding Perseverance
triumphed but when the fact of his
possession of the mysterious Iron be
came known the carefully guarded
secret leaked out and the owners of
the land where it fell claimed it as
their property and sought to gain pos
session Litigation ensued The finder
claimed that being a shooting star
that had dropped from some unknown
world it should not properly be con
sidered a part of the land where it fell
The persons owning the land claimed
it as mineral property possession of
which goes with the land The court
ruled in their favor and established
an important precedent in regard to
whatever may fall in the future from
Mars the moon or other heavenly
bodies
The biggest nugget ever found
which weighs 1S2 ounces and is worth
S3276 is exhibited as part of Nomes
display at the exposition The nugget
Is kept In a cage and visitors are per
mitted to lift It Most women find
the weight of the chunk of gold too
great for their strength
CZTTER THAN NAUTILUS
TbQ Plimprer In Which 1renldettJ
lt OMevclt Went Beneath Wnven
When President Itoosevelt took his
trip In the submarine boat Plunger it
was the first time that a chief execu
tive of the United States had navigated
the depths of the sea after the fashion
of Captain Nemo At the time he wnu
forty feet under the waves of Lon
Island sound and darting tills way and
that In the strange craft with all the
ease and unconcern of a man operating
an automobile over a smooth road the
powers of the world were anxiously
awaiting the results of his efforts to
secure peace between Russia and
Japan the administration of a govern
ment which controls the affairs of SO
000000 people rested upon his shoul
ders and all In all the matter of his
life or death was one of importance
-Vv - K w f11
THE PIiTINGHi COMING TO THK SUKPACE
In view of this fact his advisers felt
as if it was risking too many great
interests for the president to take his
life in his hands by descending to the
bottom of that branch of the ocean
which lies off the shores of Mr Roose
velts home town Oyster Bay N Y
Every one knows of the presidents
love of adventure and he unite natu
rally was tempted by the thought of an
experience which some people would
shrink from undertaking As to the
danger involved it is said he satisfied
himself it was more imaginary than
real and that submarine navigation
has now reached a stage in the United
States where a trip under the waves is
no more foolhardy than a trip under
the skyscrapers of New York in the
far famed subway Although the Brit
ish and French have met with disas
ters in the navigation of submarine
craft the history of such navigation of
recent years in the United States has
been exceptionally free from fatalities
The Plunger is in command of Lieu
tenant Charles P Nelson who won
the sobriquet of Daredevil Nelson
while fighting on the Gloucester under
Wainwrigut at the battle of Santiago
in the Spanish war He has Avon a
reputation as an expert in submarine
naA igation and the president felt that
he was not incurring too great danger
in placing himself in his charge The
Plunger was launched in 1902 The
vessel has a speed under Avater of
seven miles an hour and on the sur
face of more than eight miles an hour
Tavo sets of motive power are pro
vlded an electric motor for subma
rine work and a gasoline engine for
surface work OAer 300 dives have
been made by the Plunger and on one
occasion at NoAvport she made the
record plunge of 145 feet
