To the thousands who visited the
st. Louis fair and saw the wild tribes,
the announcement that the Filipino
natives have been secured as an at
traction for the Lewis and Clark CEN
ternial will prove of interest; to the
tens of thousands of stay y-at-homes
who have for many months been
forced to listen to exaggerated ac-
counts brought home by the more
Travelled people, the announcement
will prove doubly interesting. The
latter will see at last a chance to fore
stall the ready story teller. Can't
you picture to yourself the village

OPENING OF THE FAIR.

The Astorian this morning present:
its readers with a fun and complete
telegraphic account Of the opening o.
the great Lewis and Clark exposition
be accomplished except by newspapers
taking the official Associated Press
dispatches. II was certainly the grand
est and most imposing event that has
ever occurred on the Pacific coast and
will bring Oregon into prominence
throughout the entire world as no
other event in its history could pos
sibly do. from the day Captain Gray
an American sailor, who in 1892 dis
covered the great Columbia river.
sailed up the river exploring it for
some distance Under the law of ma
tions the United States owned all the
territory drained by he Columbia river
and its tributaries.
This claim was further strengthened
by the Lewis and Clark expedition in
Mississippi river across the continue mt
to the Pacific. Following this trail.
without encouragement by the govern
ment, but rather encouragement, the
pioneer with his wife and children,
crossed the mountains and took up his
residence on the Pacific slope, bring
-.-gN IL ~ l. Afr t.rtS.
and his law. This is. in brief. the his
tory upon which the state Of Oregon
commsmorates as the first century
mile stone in its history.
II is not a local exposition, but a
national one in scope and character,
and a worlds exposition in the ex-
hibits Of the arts and sciences. The
president of the United States, Theo-
dore Roosevelt. to whom the people of
Oregon are under lasting obligations
for his efforts to make the great
worlds fair possible, and who was rep
resented In Portland by Vice President
Charles w. Fairbanks. Our national
congress was represented by repre-
sentatives and senator's. and there
were representatives from nearly every
state in the union, every nation in the
world.
Every schoolboy and schoolgirl on
the Pacific coast should visit the ex-
position. as it will afford an oppor-
tunity to acquire information upon
many matters not taugh in the public |
schools and give the rising generation !
an idea of the grand resources; the ,
wonderful inventions Of the past GEN.
tury and impress upon their minds
the grand and glorious possibilities of
the future greatness and grandeur of
this nation and its people. They will
be given an opportunity to study the
arts and sciences, the American inven-
