time passed many thousands of citizens
to whom the Lewis and Clark story
was unknown became acquainted with
the important historical facts in con-
nection herewith but until recent
months the general public has imagin-
ed that the exposition at Portland was
to be merely local affair, confined
chiefly to the three Northwestern n
states OF Oregon, Washington and
Idaho, which became United States
territory as a result of the explorations
OF the Lewis and Clark party.
Now all we'll informed persons know
that this Centennial exposition, which
will open its gates June lst is to be an
affair of worldwide Importance. A
dozen American states have erected
buildings on the ground, and several
other states are represented by ex-
hibits; while every important nation OF
Europe aud the Orient Is participating
on large scale.
But this Is not as important as the
fact, now coming home TO the in
tellgept American consciousness, that
the Lewis and Clark exposition Is
"something new under the SUM- mas
much as 1t is to be held in a section of
the country OF which comparatively
little is known by the general public
that dwells east of the Rocky noun
tains, and that 1t will give TO those
who atterd it an opportunity to study
conditions, Typographical and COM
merciaI, which do not exist in the
east. This exposition" recently re-
marked a New York man who visited
Portland for the first time, will be
an eye-Opener to Us who live east of
the Mississippi. Most OF US knew q
good deal about Philadelphia, Chicago,
Buffalo and St. Louis, but we shall find
this summer by visiting the exposition
at Portland, that we have known very
little Of this great Oregon country"
The exposition has grown appreci-
ably, 10 the estimation Of the people
OF the east, during the past year, and
1t has grown in material sense be-
cause Of it's growing Importance in the
public eye; it having been found nee
essary to increase the acreage and add
several exhibit palaces not contained
in the original plan. The reduced rail
road rates for the summer will give
fasteners an opportunity to see the
exposition and the Oregon country and
discover how important is this intent
creation OF the xposition-maker.

Mr.. Lindley, the interpreter of the
character OF Shylock, gave very Inter
esttng talks on the Merchant Of Venice

day morning and to the 4th, 5th, 9th.
and 9TH grades on Tuesday morning.
DR.. Taylor OF Yankton Is expected
to make an inspection of th9 public
school this week in the matter of light
ing and also to test the eyes Of pupils
for defects. He has just finished "A
similar work in Nermillion and Canton.
Many states make this sort of thing
compulsory. 1t is to be hoped that
parents will cooperate in the matter.
The pupils of the upper grades are
organizing tennis club and have con
structed court at the east side OF the
grounds. This is a good out door game
for both boys and girls.

How an Exposition Grows.

1t Is interesting to observe the d.
velopment OF an exposition idea. The
germ once planted in the minds of the
projectors takes root and expands
from small proportion 10 vastness with
astonishing rapidly. When the
Chicago expositiOns was frstconceived,
nobody expected that it would be half
so large or important as it turned out
TO be. 1t was not until the St. Louis
exposition had been open for several
months that the general public realized
its vastness and its significance.
Three or four years ago it was an
nounced that in 1905 an exposition was
TO be held at Portland, Oregon, In the
midst OF the wonderful New North
west" The Lewis and Clark Centen.
nial exposition it was to be called
Those who had read little about the
expedition OF Capts, Lewis and Clark
into the wilds OF the Northwest a hun.
dred years ago began to brush up
on history, just to see what this exposi
tion idea meant. They were aware
that it meant the commemoration OF 6
heroic expedition of adventure, and al

1t is a curious fact that boys hair
grows one-half slower than a girls.
In boys the average rate Of growth is
three feet three inches in six years,
being an average Of .O18 inch a day.
During the tWenty-frst and twenty
fourth years a mans hair grows quick
er than at any other period. 1t takes
an eyelash twenty weeks to reach a
length Of .429 inch, and then it's life
is from 100 to $50 days. By means
Of camera the wink of an eyelid has
been measured, and it was found that
twenty winks can be made in four
seconds.

The secret Of the charm OF bamboos
Is so subtle and elusive as to defy
analysis. Bamboos are really grasses
on a large scale-a tropical scale-yet
they do not impress US as being coarse
in fact they are slenderness person
iied-and they seem to fit well into IA
northern landscape. Their decorative
character is SO clearly recognized that
they are often grown in large pots or
tubs for porch and greenhouse decora-
tion-even the hardy species. BAN
boos are generally thought. to look best
on the bank of a stream or among
rocks on hillside, but they are also
becoming favorites for the hardy Dor
der, and they are often used most eff
fectively in cities at the base of public
bulldings-for example, at the national
capitol.-Country Life In America.

An interesting discussion Is now run
ming in the columns OF the Homestead
relating to the type OF horse that is
best adapted to farm labor in the corn
belt. The editor of the Homestead has
taken the position that the horse
weighing from l,450 to 100 pounds is
not only the most profitable to raise
for the market, but that an animal Of
this weight if the quality is right, is
much more useful ON heavy farm i'm
plements than the light-weights. The

expression OF this opinion b . stirred
up some Of the advocates of the lighter
breeds, and one subscriber goes so far
as to say that he can disc more ground
with four l 200 pound standard horses
than can be done by similar number
of drafters. He points out that the
standard horse has more snap and that
he will do his work with Il greater de
gree OF ease than the heavy weights
Some interesting arguments are put
forth on both sides OF this question,
and the matter is not ended yet. We
would like to here repeat that sub

at this Office, and we shall be pleased
to do our part towards swelling the

Fruits That Are
Now in the Mark ct

Just at this period of the sum-
mer the fruit markets are of
special interest to all house
keepers.
The Hood River supply has
closed for the season, and the
majority of the shipments will
be from California. Some of. the
Washington fruits are taking an
important place just now. the
from there being :ex-
#ceptionally fine and selling for
E$1.25 per crate. California
peaches and pineapples are com
ing in, in large quantities, the
former selling at 25 cents per
dozen, the latter, 25 cents apiece.
The Minnesota berry shipments
are just opening and are Of a
very good standard this year, as
are also the Washington plums.
The strawberry season is draw
ling to a close and will probably
not last more than ten days
longer.
