LEWIS & CLARK FAIR
st. Louis dIobe-Democrat Urges
Liberal Appropriation for Ore
gOn's Big Exposition.
St. Louis Globe Democrat.


Congress, in the approaching
session, will be asked to make an
appropriation of $2,125,O00 in aid
Of the Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition, which is to be held in
Portland, Oregon, in the Summer
Of 1905. The board Of directors OF
that enterprise have just decided
on this. Bills for this purpose viii
be introduced in both branches Of
Congress by members Of the Oregon
delegation simultaneously at the
opening Of the session.
This is an eminently worthy
enterprise and Congress undoubt-
edly will favor it. Lewis and
Clark were the first Americans to
cross the continent. They carried
to the country the first knowledge
which it obtained of the interior Of
the vast tract which Jefferson had
just added to the domain of the
Nation. Previous to the journey
Of these intrepid explorers up the
Missouri, across the Rocky Mount
aims and down the Columbia to the
Pacific the region west of the
westerly line Of the present State
of Missouri was as unknown as was
central Africa in the days Of Mum
go Park. The journals of the two
heads Of the expedition and Of
some of their subordinates, pub
lished not long after their return
to civilization, formed a notably
great contribution to the worlds
knowledge in the field Of geography.
Missouri has a special interest in
The Lewis and Clark Exposition,
and every one Of its representatives
in each branch of Congress will
vote for the appropriation which is
to be asked. St. Louis was the
starting point and the finish Of the
tour. One Of the leaders Of the ex-
pedition, CLARK, resided in ST. Louis
for many years afterward. AT his
death he was the oldest Of the dis
tinguished Missourians. Benton
and Linn, Of Missouri, were the
most active and powerful Of the
friends which Oregon had in the
days just previous to the with
drawal Of England, when Oregon
was in especial need Of friends to
champion her claims against the
apathy and the ignorance which
would discourage colonization and
leave her in British hands. A
majority Of the early residents Of
Oregon and Washington were citi-
zens of Missouri. The Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition will
have enthusiastic support from all
of Missouri's newspapers and mem
bers of Congress.

recommendations Of residents of

til ilJanuary |, there is no probability
of their successors being appointed

entire four years of his incumbency.
This position is filled by a vote Of
the board, so it is not certain that
his successor will fill that office.

insurrection in 1867 have been
brought to light. The rolls, along
with a number of other valuable
documents dating back as far as
1858, were found amonga lot of old

Government engineers have just
about finished this seasons work
on the Upper Willamette River,
and this week will probably see

important improvement this season
has been the revetment below Inde-

has been constructed. The revet-
ment is to be 1000 feet long and it
is intended to prevent erosion of
the present bank of the river below
independence and to keep the river
from running off into a new course.

mouth of Yamhill River the engi-
neers have made the usual repairs

who has just left that institution, after
being there about eight mOnthS. He
attributes the discomfort of the aged
people to mismanag cement at the farm,
and the neglect on the part of the coun-
~ commissioners to employ man
competent to run the heating plant and
handle the pump which has to be re-
sorted to quite often to free the cellar
of water.
Mr. Kellogg stated yesterday that
from March to 10 there was no heat
in the building The cellar was so full
Of water that the heating plant could
not be operated. On March Is stoves
were put up to take the chill off the
rooms. One stove was placed in the
sitting room, the heat from Which was

south wards on that floor. Upstairs one
stove supplied the north and west

ton asserted as a positive fact that

fer Mr.. Kellogg says it is absolutely
impossible to register ten pounds of
steam upon the gauge, owing TO the
bad CONDITION in which the boiler flueS
and the boiler itself are in. The flues
are two and a half inches in diameter,
and the man who looks after the plant
is compelled to try to clean them out
with an inch and a half cleaner. That,
he says is impossible.
In January, when matters became so
bad. the commissioners sent three ma
chinists down to repair the boiler and
fix the pump. They spent three days
a the intirmary and put in a bill, Mr.
Kellogg says, for $50 which included
a number of valves for the steam radi-
atOrs. The ones taken away were in
every respect equal to the ones now
in use. The reason for the change, he
says is not apparent. The next day
after the three men visited the in
Urinary the fiue which runs from the
boiler to the smokestack collapsed The
men, Mr.. Kellogg declared, ruined 1t
