A Flag Day.

Weave your uarlands bright
Before the May-time closes;
Pansies blue and white
And blushing buds of roses.
Blue and white and red,
The lonely graves they'll cover;
And Ger each grassy bed
The stars and stripes shall hover.
Let this work be wrought
Before the May-time closes,
And bring your loving thought,
More precious than the roses.

How sleep the brave, who sink to rest,
BY all their country's wishes blest;
When spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mold,
She there shall dress sweeter sod
Than fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung;
BY forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There honor comes, pilgrim gray,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay:
And freedom shall awhile repair,
To dwell weeping hermit there.

the A. Butts place, and had made hut
out of fir boughs, in which he slept at
night. One night he built smudge
nearby. He dropped off asleep and
about II 80 that night he was awakened
bya loud cracking noise and as he
opened his eyes he beheld the whole
front OF his hut ablaze. He hurriedly
leaped through the door, and not mo-
ment too soon, for in the next minute
the whole interior OF the structure was
a mass OF seething flame. Brown bore
the marks OF the fire on his face, where
the flames had scorched him.
He was glad to have escaped with his
life. The fire destroyed two suits of
clothes and other things. He says the
loss was $50. Brown says the mention

but he does expect to leave shortly for

write Of Oregon and Win 4 Prize.


The Portland Commercial club offers
two gold medals and 5000 in cash prizes
for articles on Oregon, under the follow
ing conditions:

er publication printed outside Of Oregon

To residents OF Portland a gold medal
and 800 will be distributed in prizes
upon exactly the same basis as the gold
medal and 500 are 10 be distributed to
residents Of Oregon outside of Portland.
The reason for having these articles
printed outside the state is that we
want the people away from home TO
know our advantages, and then we de-
sire the Portland and Oregon papers to
be relieved from any embarrassment
that might arise through having 10 de-
cline articles. Articles containing the
expression "Webfoot" will not be
allowed 70 compete.
The governor OF the state will be
asked to appoint committee TO decide
as 10 winners in the state contest, while
the mayor OF Portland will de requested
10 name the committee that will select
the winners in this city.
One OF the chief reasons for offering
these prizes is TO give the younger gen.
GRAFTON an opportunity to do some pleas
ant work during vacation. This is
busy age and no article is desired ex-
ceeding 5000 words--those of 1000
words preferred.
No articles will be accepted in COM

The articles submitted become the prop
erty Of the Portland Commercial club, to

The TRAIL or lewis ana CLARK

Was the pioneer American trail west of
the Mississippi river, and the results of
that exploration of lS04-6 were Of tre-
mendous Importance to the United
States, and they were never more APP
parent than now.
A publication relating to the Lewis
and Clark expedition, just issued by
q. p Putnam's Sons, New York stands
peculiarly alone. This edition Is two
volume, vo one, called "The Trail Of
Lewis and Clark, l804-l904.p The au-
thor, Mr.. Olin ID. Wheeler, Is the we'll
known writer Of the popular Wonder
land series Of the Northern Pacific Rail
way, in connection with which he
made his studies and researches for
this work.
Mr., Wheeler has travelled, several
thousand miles over the route of Lewis
and Clark. He has camped out, climb
ed mountains, followed old Indian
trails, and visited remote points made
memorable by those explorers. Their
route across the Bitter Root mountains
has been followed, identified and
mapped.
"T'he Trail of Lewis and Clark" Is H.
lustrated In color and half tone from
paintings, drawings aud maps, by Pax
son, DeCamp aud Russell, made under
Mr.. Wheeler's direction, and from pho
tographs taken specially for the pur-
pose. The writer tells bis own story
and supplements It with pertinent ex.
tracts from Lewis and Clark, and
host OF other historical and narrative
writers that connect the past with the
present. Exact excerpts and photo
graphic reproductions, in half tone,
from the original manuscript journals
Of Lewis and Clark are given. A
chapter Is devoted to the Louisiana
Purchase, another to the preparatory
measures for the exploration, and an.
other to the history Of each man of the
expedition, so far as known, including
a discussion of the death of Captain
Lewis.
The Louisiana Purchase Exposition
at st. Louis aud the Lewis and Clark
Centennial to be held at Portland, Ore
gon, In 1905, make this work peculiarly
timely, because written from The stand
point Of actual knowledge of past and
present conditions Of the old trail and
country.
"The Trail of Lewis and Clark
should be in every public and private

reader will find In reading through it's
pages Of large clear type that truth is,
indeed, truer than fiction.
