Portland, Ore, Feb. 20.-Ordinarily
a merry war is on between Washington
and Oregon When | first arrived on
the Pacific coast | heard a Seattleite
refer to Portland people as ''webfeet."
Wondering, | asked the man what he
meant. He answered:
why, don't you know in Portland
1t rains all the time, so the natives
have grown webfeet in trying to pad
die abOutE'
In like manner Portland folk were
wont to jeer at Seattle. The merry
war waXed all the hotter after the two
cities, Portland and Seattle, became
rival ports of departure for the great
Alaskan migration when gold was dis
covered Neither could say things
mean enough of the other.
Now, however, all the four states
carved out of the original Oregon ter
ritory unite with friendship and en-
thusiasm to prepare the great show
celebrating the centenary of the Lewis
y
What was originally Oregon terri
tory has been divided into the states
Of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana. May 81, 1908, President
Roosevelt laid the cornerstone here of
a beautiful monument to the two in
trepid explorers, Lewis and Clark. 1t
will be finished and unveiled at the ex-
position in 1905. 1t Is a shaft in the
Portland City park at a point overlook
ing the Willamette river 1t is forty
feet high above the pedestal and has
upon the four sides of it's base the
carved arms of the four states.
Portland is on both banks Of the VIII
lamette river, twelve miles above
where the Willamette joins the great
Columbia. Although Portland Is 100
miles from the mouth Of the Columbia,
yet large vessels enter the Columbia
from the Pacific and steam up the
river to Portland. Portland harb0r has
water depth great enough for large
ocean steamers. Wealthy Portland
residents have their summer homes
near the mouth of the Columbia, on
the coast
Sloping hills rise gently and gradual
ly recede from the banks of the Villa
mette at Portland. Upon these slopes
the city is built Noble views of noun
tain, forest and sky stretch toward all
points of the compass. At Gilmer's
lake, in the northern part of the city,
is the fair ground. 1t occupies go
acres, 115 of which are land. Enter

ter will thus be a feature of the fair.
Something surprising when one has
had occasion to come in contact with

pie concerning the intelligence and
splendid resources of this great country
of the Oregon territory and the north
western part of the Louisiana DUR
chase. Here are the noblest forests of
the United States, here the greatest

tricity generated by power from beau

the east is rather small A revelation
to them will be this part of their own
country
Intimately connected, too, in a way
with the Lewis and Clark centenary
expedition is the Louisiana Purchase
fair. Leaving out the territory acquir-
ed by the Mexican war, al She United
States from the gulf Of Mexico to Can

the Rocky mountains was included in

idea of purchasing it when he was
minister to France in 1913 Therefore

the Missouri and its sources, thence

WOMEN'S GOOD WORK
WHAT THE FAIR SEX HAS DONE FOR
AN ILLINOIS TOWN.

Trees Planted, Streets Cared For and
New Buildings Erected by an Inn
prOvement CIub--The Founder of
the Organization.
Among the wide variety of womens
organizations of the present day form
ed for use or entertainment there is
none that for immediate practical ben
eft to the community and reciprocal
good to the members surpasses the vii
lage improvement association
Its object is plainly defined in the tt
tie and presents a growing ideal of civ
ic order and beauty. There is no form
Of social aspiration or endeayor that
may not come under the head of the
Improvement club. Whatever pertains
to the appearance, government and So
cial culture Of the community comes
rightly within its scope and jurisdic-
ton.
An example of this form Of organiza-
ton is that Of Geneva, ILL.,, founded
about twelve years ago by Mrs Julia
Plato Harvey, says a writer in the Pill
grim. Though several men joined in
the new movement, it was distinctly a
wOman'S movement, originating in the
mind of one woman and carried out by
her and her sister associates. The men
helped with money and applauded the
work, but soon voted themselves out
nf nffi fol 40 Ia ahn
and do what they wished.
The object of the new association
was at first very simple-tO clear the
streets of an unsightIy litter of old tin
cans and other rubbish which had
been allowed to accumulate for years;
to cut down some dead trees that had
long defaced the landscape and plant
new ones. The appetite for fixing up
things grew by what it fed upon; the
work widened. The improvement club
undertook one task after another until
it numbered as many lines Of helpful
activity as modern department club.
A library was started, a new station
house built, an unkempt cemetery put
in order, the schoolhouse repaired and
woman placed on the school board.
The money for the care Of the streets is
raised as far as possible by annual
memberships Of 81, the sum needed be-
ing helped out by the usual feminine
devices-lawn suppers, private theatric-
ais, lectures and oyster SteWs.
The club here spoken of was singu-
larly fortunate in its founder. Mrs.
Harvey is well known in club and phi
lanthropic circles in the west for her
intelligent leadership in this kind Of
work. She is a woman particularly fit
ted for her chosen task, whose gift Of
leadership lies IN sterling qualities, I'M
marred by the least spirit of self seek
ing, love of office or personal display.
Mrs. Harvey is a woman whom other
women delight to follow. Her cowOrk-
ers are her warm admirers and are
proud of her friendship.
The example shown in her labOrs for
her native town, the high esteem in
which she is held by all her fellow
townsmen, cannot be too highly recon-
mended to women anxious to lead lives
of usefulness and benefit to those i'm
mediately around them.

How to Make Apple Bread.

Boil a dozen good sized apples that
have been carefully peeled cored and
quartered in water enough to cover
until they are perfectly tender While
still warm mash them in double the
amount of flour and add the proper
proportion of yeast and a level table
spoonful of salt. The mass should then
be thoroughly kneaded without water,
as the juice Of the apples will make it
sufficiently soft. 1t should be left to
rise for twelve hours, then formed into
loaves and baked when quite light.
Apple bread was the invention of a
scientific Frenchman, and it has al
ways been highly commended for its
healthfuneSS.

How to Make an Oyster Pie,

Cook together tablespoonful each Of

tiers and cook, stirring steadily until
the edges just begin to ruftie, then re
