The Trail of Lewis and Clark.

No study Of the northwest is COM
plete. nor can one understand as one
should, the imperial dimensions of this
vast domain or it's real present and
future greatness, without some knowl
edge of the wonderful exploration of
Lewis and Clarke in 1804-6.
That historic expedition consisting
of As men Qater. at Fort Mandan. re-
duced to 81 men and one Indian wo-
man with her three months old pa
poose) left ST. Louis. assembled the
Missouri river to it's headwaters, cross
ed the mountains to the Columbia, and
descended that stream to it's mouth,
and returned. within less than two
years and a half One winter they
spent in North Dakota, near Bis
marck, and another in Oregon, near
Astoria.
The results of the exploration, the
valuable discoveries made, the mani
fold adventures met with, not only
stamp the exploration as the greatest
of modern times, but render accounts
OF it as interesting as novel.
There has recently been published
by G. P. Putnam's Sons, New York, a
book called "The Trail Of Lewis and
Clark, 1S04-1904," in two volumes. The
author, Mr. Olin D. Wheeler, writes
the popular Wonderland series of the
Northern Pacific Railway, in connec.
ton with which he made his studies
and researches for this more pretenti-
GUS work.
Mr. Wheeler has travelled several
thousand miles over the old route of
Lewis and Clark, on railway trains and
steamboats,, in rowboats, afoot, on
horseback and in buggies or wagons.
He has travelled with pack trains,
camped out, and climbed mountains, in
following the old Indian trails that
the explorers followed and in visiting
remote points made memorable by
them. He has sojourned among In
dian tribes, some of them now almost
extinct, that Lewis and Clark visited,
and he has talked with one old squaw,
who as child, saw Lewis and Clark.
The explorers route across the Bit
ter Root mountains, from the headwa-
tiers of the Missouri river to the
sources of the Snake river and thence

Our First Daguerreotype.

1t is, perhaps, not generally known
that the earliest practical information
as to Daguerre's process of catching
and holding the figure of his camera
obscura came to America through Pro-
lessor S. F. B. Morse. In letter to a
friend in America, to be quoted in Alb
raham Bogardus' '"The Lost Art of the
Daguerroetype" in the May Century,
Professor Morse tells of constructing
the first danguerroetype apparatus
made in the United States, from draw
ings- furnished by Daguerre.
my first effort Professor Morse
writes, was on small plate of sill
vered copper procured at a hardware
store. and, defective as the plate was,
obtained good representation of the
Church of the Messiah, then on Broad
way, from back window of the New
City University. This l believe to have
been the first daguerreotype made in
America"

HOW HARBoR WAS CLOSED.
Official Report of Admiral Toga Re.
garding Blocking of Port Arthur.

The official report OF Admiral Toga
relative to the blockiA. - L. Port
Arthur harbor entrance states that five
OF. the eight stone laden vessels which
were sent in were sunk side by side,
thus completely closing the channel,
except at one side, where there is a
space large enough to permit tor
pedo boat 10 slip through.
The venture was very costly to the
forlorn hope, which undertook the
task of blocking the channel. A storm
was in progress at the time and the
sea was running high. Then, to this
was added the terrific bombardment
from the land forts. which was d.
rected at the escorting fleet of tor
pedo boats. This kept the latter at
a distance and they were unable to
save but few Of the heroes who took
the steamers in. most of whom are
believed to have persisted.
So far as known there were 159 men
on the blockading detachment. OF
these but SO returned in safety and
half of this number were wounded
Fifteen are known to have been killed
and the rest are missing. 1t is be-
lieved from Russian reports that 80
may have reached shore and the rest
re undoubtedly drowned.
All of the known dead and missing
have been promoted and their families
pensioned. The gross tonnage of the
eight steamers sunk was 1918 and
their ages varied from Is to rs years.
Three small Russian steamers have
been captured on the Yalu, but shells
damaged the boilers of two of them be-
fore they surrendered. The third is
now in the Japanese service.

TRADE REPORT.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Somewhat better retail distribution
has followed improvement in temper
ature, but it came too late to recover
any large part of the tardy seasons
injury to spring trade. Quiet condi-
lions are noted in practically all lines
of wearing apparel. Operations for
future requirements are carried on
with caution, and this disposition to
avoid excessive commitments will do
much to reduce the number of fail
ures. Some improvement in collec-
tons, particularly at the south and
west, will also strengthen weak con-
Germs. The percentage Of idle factor
les has increased, especially in text
lies and footwear. and change in
style has rendered unavailable much
silk machinery. Structural work is
increasing, but dealers had accumu-
lated large supplies of building mate
rails, and prices lack seasonable firm
ness. Commodity prices declined dur
ing April. Railway earnings in April
were 5.S per cent less than last year.
After last weeks exceptionally heavy
traffic, it was natural that western
hide markets should become inactive.
Prices remain firm, however :
Commercial failures in the United
States were 206..

MITCHELL ON STRIKES.
Right Not to Be Surrendered, He
Saws,

Says.
John Mitchell, president of the Unit
ed Mineworkers, spoke before the civic
federation at New York city recently.
1.-THE idea of the joint trade agree
ment is the essence of trade union
ism," Mr. Mitchell said. I'VE have
now 100000 men working under con-
ditions which are fixed by joint agree
ment. We adjust all differences by
agreement; we leave no question to
arbitration; arbitration is preferable
to strikes-that is all.
'The outsiders called in have said
they did not understand conditions,
and the result of the arbitration has
been unsatisfactory both to employers
and employees.
II believe in strikes. / also believe
in lockouts. Neither side must sur
render either of these rights. But
believe neither thing should be resort
ed to until each side has exhausted
every peaceable means of settlement.
Nothing can make SO much for in
dustrial peace as the recognition Of
the independence of labor and capital.
Officers of company have opened
their books to me frequently when
there was some question as to the re-
turns made. We Know what the op-
orators are making and in this way We
have come closer together. We be-
lieve the answer to all questions is the
trade agreement"

''The Trail of Lewis and Clark" is
illustrated in color and half tone from
paintings, drawings and maps made
under Mr.. Wheeler's direction. and
from photographs taken by profession
al photographers who accompanied
him for the purpose. The work is not
made up Of quotations from the Lewis
and Clark report with annotated COM
ments, but the writer tells his own
story and supplements it with brief
and pertinent extracts from Lewis and
Clark and a host of other historical
and narrative writer's that connect the
past with the present.
The original manuscript journals of
Lewis and Clark were studied by the
author. Extracts and Photographic re-
productions, in half tone, Of their pages
and drawings are given. A chapter is
devoted to the Louisiana Purchase, an
other to the preparatory measures for
the exploration, and yet another to
the history of each man of the expedi-
ton so far as known. including a de-
tailed discussion of the cause and cir
cumstances of the death of Captain
Lewis.
There is gathered within the covers
of these volumes, and made available,
a vast amount of history, narrative and
incident of the last century that is of
great value, is almost unknown to the
present generation and, practically, is
inaccessible to them.
THE Trail of Lewis and Clark" Is
written by the only person who, from
actual travel over, and Investigation
of, the Lewis and Clark route, can
write from the standpoint of actual
knowledge Of past and present condi-
lions of the old trail and country.
The book should be found in every
public and private library in the land,
not only for purposes of reference for
students, but for use of the general
reader, who will find in reading
through it's pages of large, clear type
that truth is, indeed. stranger than
fiction.

Big Demand for Press Seats,

The demand TOT press seats at the
two national conventions far exceeds
the capacity Of the space set apart
for the newspapers of the country. At
the Chicago convention there will be
290 seats in the press reservation and
already there have been received 1900

at the St. Louis convention also is
far in excess of the capacity of the

I he OcCideMt,
Mining Company

The Occidental group, formerly owned
by J.. C. Chesebro and F. A. Baner and
now incorporated as the Occidental
Mining Company, Limited, consists of
four claims located on Deadwood noun
tain about eight miles south west of
Elk City. These claims contain three
large and we'll defined lodes running
through a mountain of mineralized
schist and contains from trace to $500
in gold per ton.
The property is opened by over 1900
feet of tunnels, shafts, wines, etc.
being opened to perpendicular depth
of 200 feet at two points. These work
ings disclose immense bodies Of low
grade ore carrying sufficient values to
be mined and treated at a safe profit.
Along these lodes good sized shoots of
ore appear running well up in values.
The largest of these lodes is seventy
feet between walls at perpendicular
depth of $50 feet.
The property is advantageously stu
ated for economical working. There is
a wagon road direct to the workings
and fine supply of timber both for
mining timbers and lumber. A good
tunnel site is vailable from which over
600 feet in depth can be obtained by
drifting directly on the lodes. A good
water power is also to be had, solving
the problem of cheap treatment of the
ores. Work will be prosecuted during
the year.

SNOWSLTDES ARE MANY.
Dispatches From Thunder Mountain Say Least Forty Oc
Cured on Main Road.--Two Men Reported Killed in
Cabins. Mail Carriers Had Narrow Escapes.

six feet on the summit in the last ten
days"
Hegne thinks the snowslides are now
about over for this winter except in
the higher valleys. He states that the
mail carriers snowshoe the last twenty
miles INTO Roosevelt and says that the
greater portion of the distance is COW
cred on top by snowslides that have
come to that point down the creeks.
Two mail carriers had narrow es-
cape, he said, on Little Indian creek,
one pouch of mail from Idaho City
being sacrificed in their scramble for
safety. The two men were walking
along near the bottom of the gulch
when they heard the peculiar noise
made by a snowslide in starting. Hast
lily dropping the sacks, they began
climbing the rocky sides of the gulch
and had barely reached place of safe
ty when the avalanche swept past
them.
Three other carriers had a similar ex-
perience at Deadwood. They discover
ed the approach of snowslide in time
and dropped their sacks of mail and
reached places of safety before the
slide passed. In this instance, how
ever, they found the mail after search
ing for it three days.
A report from Idaho City is to the
effect that the postmaster at Roose-
welt had sent word to that place that
Henderson was only severely injured.
1t is known, however, that his brother
in Ohio has been advised of his death.

and brings tidings of disastrous slides
in the Thunder mountain country,
Avery Henderson, who has been living
alone in cabin six miles up Monumen-
tai creek from Roosevelt, was the vic
tim of a slide that OCCURRED on the
night of February II. His cabin was
partially destroyed by an avalanche,
but it is supposed that he escaped from
the structure and succeeded in making
his way to place of temporary safety
as he could be tracked for some dis
tance from the cabin. e
1t is supposed that as he made his es-
cape he started another slide in which
he was buried. The next day 25 or 80
men started out to find his remains but
nothing had been discovered at the
time Hegne left the camp on February
Is.
The other victim was "Shorty" Mat

killed on the night of February 16. The

Union Has
Fine Ore.

Andrew Prader, on his way .aout of
camp, paid us brief visit and gave an
outline Of his operations upon, the
Union group, which comprises y seven
claims, consisting of the Union No. l,
Union No. 2, Companion No. 1, Com
panion No 2, the Idahes Idaho fraction
and the Cornucopia, respectively.
There is 853 feet of work done thus
far, consisting of drifts, crosscuts and
one upraise of 60 feet. There are three
crosscuts from the foot to the hanging
wall of 26, 80 and 32 feet respectively,
most of this width consists of porphyry,
however, with we'll defined ledge on
either wall of high grade ore. On the
foot wall the ore body is three and a
half feet, six inches of which gives
values exceeding two thousand dollars
per tons ,This shoot extends two hund-
red feet. along the course of the vein
with the end not yet in sight. T.
In the upraise the vein retains its
size, but the values,get lighter toward
the surface, which would seem to be
an added proof in favor of the .conten-
tion of the operators thus far, which is
that values increase with depth in this
camp.

of the watershed on the headwaters o1
