inst. He was the second son of
Mr. and Mrs. Neil Beaton, whose
home is on Cherry Greek. The
little boy, who was 2 years old
July |, 1905, had been aiiing for
some time, but only a couple of
days before he died was his case
thought serious. clarence was q
bright child, just learning to tall;
he was playful, had kind dispo-
sition and was the pride and Joy
of his parents. The funeral was
held September 2, interment being
in the Three Greek cemetery. A
large number of people followed
the remains to their last resting
place. The bereaved parents have
the genuine, heartfelt sympathy of
the entire community.

We visited both Newport and
Seaside beaches, and had a de-
lightful time at each. Newport
far exceeds Seaside in beauty and
grandeur, but we liked Seaside the
better for bathing We also had a
delightful trip down the river
from Portland to Astoria and back
on the steamer Telegram. The
view from the steamer is of sur
passing beauty.
We were very much interested
in the quaint city of Astoria,
strung out four or five miles up
and down the river by about a
quarter Of a mile wide; and a large
part of that width, including all
its mills, cannerles and many bus
mess houses, residences, streets
aud a large part of its one street
car line, built on piles out in the
river.

one brick residence in Portland,
and that was built by the man

this, and was told it was because

EDITOR REPUBLIoAN:-Com
with your request for an account
OF my trip to the Exposition and
the Coast. | will say:
The Exposition, while not a
large one, is as fine as [ ever saw.
OF course it does not come up with
the ST. Louis Exposition in SIZE
but what there is of it is as fine as
anything | saw there. 1t is about
the size Of the Omaha Exposition.
While there has not been so much
expended in beautifying tho
grounds, yet its location is one of
such natural beauty, and such a
perfect exposition site, that it is
the most beautiful one | have seen
All the Exposition buildings are
both interesting and instructive,
but the most interesting one and
the one that attracts the crowds is
the Government Exhibits. This
building with its annexes is a
school in itself. The Fisheries
annex is especially pretty and in
teresting.
One very interesting feature here
Is numerous lectures, illustrated
by both sliding and moving pic.

ing in interest is the Forestry
building Both this building and
its contents are unique, pleasing
and interesting.
The Idaho building and exhib-
it's ore both credit to our state,
and elicit great praise from every
BODY. Instead of scattering our
exhibits throughout the different
main Exposition buildings, as
heretofore, they are all gathered
together in the Idaho State build
ing; to my mind a great improve
ment, as it better shows the varied
industries and general develop
ment, and much better advertises
the state.

We were not very much i'm

largely from the fact that we were
