One of the Most Famous of American
Expeditions and What it Brought.

From "' Westward the Course of Empire Takes
Its Way in July St. Nicholas.
just after the completion of the
Louisiana Purchase of 18O3-which is
commemorated by the Worlds Fair of
this year at St. Louis-the American
Congress, urged by President Jefferson,
authorized an expedition to explore
the newly acquired territory. President
Jeferson's private secretary, Meri-
wether Lewis, was appointed COM
mander of this expedition, and he chose
as his associate Capt. William Clark,
an old army friend.
A hundred years ago this month
these intrepid men, with a small party
of about thiry explorers, were we'll
away on their journey up the Missouri
River, as far as the mouth of the Platte.
In May of the following year they had
their first glimpse of the Rockies, and
before that year Q805) was ended they
had crossed the Great Range and push
ed on to the Pacific Ocean by way of
the Columbia River. During certain
parts of their journey they endured
great hardships, and for fifteen months
they were cut off from all communica.
tlon with the outer world.
1t was one of the most famous of
American expeditions and to the pluck
and perseverance of this little band of
explorers we owe the acquisition, later,
OF the territory now embraced in the
three great States of our northwestern
boundary Washington, Oregon and
Idaho.

w. c. T. u. Fountain Dedicated.

Ladies of the w. C. T. U. have erect
ed a fountain at the st. Louis Expo
sition where ice water is free to every
body. It has been placed in conspicu-
GUS place on the grounds between the
Varied Industries and the Manufact-
ures Building and near the beautiful
Louisiana Purchase Monument, where
it was recently dedicated with beauti-
full ceremonies. The fountain is with
in few feet of the waterway and the
main walk and opposite the Cascades.
1t lies almost within the shadow of
Peace, the crowning feature of the
Louisiana Purchase Monument. The
erection of this fountain is beautiful
thought emanating from the ladies of
the w. G. T. U.
The fountain is Of bronze 8 feet 3
inches high, and was modelled by Miss
Elsie Ward of New York, formerly of
Missouri. The figure is that of wo-
man holding a lily in her hand; she
stands upon a pedestal also ornament.
ed with lilies, the symbol of purity.
From lily on each of the four corners
is a spigot out of which flows the
ice-cold crystal stream.
The design is expressive of lightness
allied with sufficient strength to per
form the duty imposed. The style is
that Of the French renaissance, and an
effort has been made to keep the foun-
tain simple, refined and strong. 1t
cost $4,000, and is an offering from the
w. G. T. U. of the Louisiana Purchase
states, the money contributed by friends
who are in sympathy with the giving
of a cup Of cold water to the thirsty
stranger.

OUR PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGNS
Hoy They Exert Wholesome Ef-
feet Upon the Body PoIitic.
rom an Edito rial in the July Century:

from an Edito rial in the July Century:
sOur Presidential campaigns, it is
generally considered, occur too fire.
quentiy in regard to the peace of mind
and business interests of the COM
mrunity, and too frequently in considera-
tlon OF executive convenience and op
pOrtunity. The excitement and tur
moil of Presidential campaign are
annoyances; but such annoyances do
not constitute valid objection to the
speedy recurrence of the event. The
serious objections to this frequency are
as already intimated, based upon the
fact that Presidential campaigns, as
now conducted, are great drain upon
the resources of many; and, more i'm
portant, that they have decided
tendency to depress business, and thus
temporarily initiate against the gen.
eral welfare; and, furthermore, it is
realized more and more keenly that
four-year Presidential term is too brief
a period for effective administration,
especially amid the complications of
modern demands upon the chief execu-
tive of nation as enormous and "im-
perial" as ours. A President and his
Cabinet need at least six months at the
beginning to learn mere details; and
during the last four months, if the chief
is reelected, they are comparatively
ineffective.
The consolation for the inconvenience
OF the toosoon recurring Presidential
campaign is its educational character.
1t is the time of our great debate, when
the principles and problems of our ma
tional government are multitudinously
discussed in "the forum of public opin-
ion.' The party in power must then
Valorously defend it's record, and give
new promise of useful performance.
The party out of power must show just
cause for it's return. The spokesmen
OF each party, on the platform and in
the press, vie with one another in de-
votion- to the national welfare; and
while certain principles are shared in
common by each set of advocates, each
side insists upon the peculiar doctrines
which are supposed to distinguish the
respective parties.
This general excitation has whole
some effect upon the body polite, and
at proper intervals, is highly desirable.
1t is time when the whole nation goes
to school. Interest in public affairs is
quickened; the peoples imagination is
aroused to sense of nationality, and
to a personal responsibility with regard
to that nationality. Great questions,
about which there has been much hazy
and inconsequent thinking, are made
clear in the cross-tire of criticism and
the light Of lucid and earnest state
ment.

Will Handle no rlore Dairy Butter

Five grocery firms of Fairmont have
Joined in signing and publishing the
following notice that they will after
July 20 discontinue handling dairy
butter:-
TO The Public:
For many years it has been the Gus
tom of retail merchants to handle dairy
butter. In great many instances this
has been a source of considerable dis
satisfaction, both to the farmer and
the merchant. In the past, when the
facilities for disposing of the dairy
product on cash basis were not so
good as they are today, this custom was
to a certain extent an accommodation
to the buttermaker, and many depend
ed on this product to do their trading
at the store, causing in many cases no
small loss to the merchant, who was
unable to dispose of his surplus any
where near the price paid for it. With
the improved methods Of today the
dairy man can dispose of his product
at it's highest cash value without de-
pending on the store for an outlet,
while there has been no improvement
in the methods for handling by the
merchant.
Believing that it will be for the best
interests Of all, and remove one of the
sources of great deal of dissatisfac
| ton to our customers, we, the under
signed, after July 20, 1904, will discon
tinue handling dairy butter.
