The Lewis and Clark Fair.

There yet remain nut three months
before the Lewis and Clark exposition
at Portland will be thrown open to the
world. This fair is held to commend
rate the centennial anniversary of the
great discoveries and explorations OF
Lewis and Clark, who made the jour
ney by team and on foot from Wash
ington, ID. c., to the mouth of the Co
lumbia river and who suffered great
hardships while making the journey.
Little could they have dreamed that
one hundred years after they cast their
eyes over the fair land where rolls
the Oregon the spot would be one of
the richest and most thriving commu
mites in the whole land; the home of
large and busy cities, fine farms, hun
dreds of mines working day and night
to get out the precious metals, numer-

Gus SawmillS turning out the finest
lumber to supply the whole world, and
half dozen transcontinental lines of
railroad affording easy transportation
to every section. What a wonderful
transformation has taken place in only
one hundred years, from the wild land
peopled with red men and rendered eX-
tremely dangerous for travel by rea-
son of lurking wild animals, to the fair
est and most happy land on Gods
green footstool!
All the circumstances of this great
transformation are to be set forth
the Lewis and Clark exposition. The
management of the fair is working as
siduously to have everything in readi-
ness when visitors begin pouring
through the gates. 1t is announced
that today about ninety per cent of the
work of preparation is completed, and
if this is the case the Portland exposi-
ton is the first of the big fairs to have
things actually ready on the opening
day, it being an easy matter to com
plete the remaining ten per cent in
three months. Many of the exhibits
are already on hand to be installed,
and the grounds are in good shape.

in measure to be attributed to the
climatic conditions on this coast, it
never being cold enough to prevent
the workmen from prosecuting their
labOrs right along. Another reason is
to be found in the energy with which
the management has prosecuted the
work in all directions.
The exposition is being well adver-
tised throughout the country and espe-
cially in the east, from which section
it will draw very large percentage OF
it's attendance. With low rates on al
lines the desire to see the fair and to
have a glimpse of this great western
country will take possession of every
one who can get away for few weeks
during the time the exposition is beir
held. Thousands will come with the
end in view of looking over the coun-
try, and from these the North Pacific
section will draw a good many new
settlers. Thus the Portland fair is
going to do great good to the whole
country in the northwest, and it ought
to receive the hearty encouragement of
the entire section.

The Ranch as an Advertising Medium.

The Ranch as an Advertising Medium.
We have referred frequently of late
to the fact that mparatively few
poultry breeders of the northwest have
awakened to realization or the value
of The Ranch as an advertising me-
dunn. Mr.. F. A. Johnson, of Tacoma,
has been a steadfast patron of The
Ranch for good many years, and in
reply to our query as to the results he
gets from his advertisement in our col
umnS he said:
81 have been an advertiser in The
Ranch for the last eight years, and
have found that it has always given
me better results for the money ex-
pended than any other paper. l finu,
moreover, that the results from The
Ranch are constantly increasing, which
proves cOnclusively to me that it is
growing constantly in both circulation
and influence. 1t is fact that if had
the facilities sufficient to accommodate
a larger number of birds, l would be
able through your paper to do several
times the present volume of business
Orders from your paper keep me con-
stantly sold out.
''It is mystery to me-" continued
Mr.. Johnson, "why more poultry
breeders do not use the columns of
The Ranch. All they have to do to
know it's value as an advertising me-
dunn is to give it fair trial"

No State Fair in Oreuon.

AS decreed by the Oregon state
legislature there is to be no state
fair held in Oregon during the cur
rent year, much to the chagrin and
disappointment of the people who had
hoped to see a fine state exposition,
Notwithstanding there was to be a
big livestock show at the Lewis and
Clark exposition in September. The
Oregon legislature evidently thought
a state fair was unnecessary with
the Lewis and Clark show in pro-
gress, but it is the opinion of those
who ought to know that the act of
the lawmakers was a big mistake,
and that the popular annual state
fair will be sadly missed before the
year is out.

The Portland Wire G. Iron Works.

NE of the first patrons of The
Ranch, and one of it's warmest
" friends, is G. w. Boost, proprie-
tor of the Portland Wire & Iron Works.
He has been doing business with us for
a good many years, and his success
may be attributed to his hustling
ability and persistent advertising in
The Ranch. When the publisher of
this journal first met Mr.. Boost, eleven
years ago, his establishment was con-
fined to one small storerOom-a very
crowded, but. very busy little place.

Replying to an inquiry we Will state
that the most practical treatise on irrl-
cation methods of farming is by l.. M.
Wilcox, entitled Irrigation Farming"
This work is very complete, compris
ing five hundred pages, and covers
thoroughly every branch of the subject,
including canal construction, pipes,
fumes, measurement of water, meth
DDS of application, irrigation of or
chards, gardens, fields, etc. A chapter
is devoted to alfalfa, and the subjects
of sub-irrigation, drainage, etc., are
also carefully treated. Altogether it is
a very fine publication, and well worth
the price of So. The Ranch will mail
this book to any address upon receipt
of price.
One of the most interesting publ
cations that reaches the editors desk
is the Western Fruit Grower, of st.
Joseph, Mo. 1t is devoted entirely to
fruit growing, and all matter that ap-
pears therein is written by men who
have had much experience in their
line of work, so there is nothing of an
impractical nature in its columns. The
last issue of the Fruit Grower is per-
haps the best the publishers ever got
out 1t consists of fifty-two pages and
cover, the latter finely printed in two
colors. This is the spraying number
of the Fruit Grower, and so long as
the supply is not exhausted every or
chardist should have one The Fruit
Grower is sent subscribers for fifty
cents year, but is worth many times
that price. We would like to see our
horticultural readers send five cents
to the publishers at ST. Joseph, Mo-,
for sample copy, or send fifty cents
for a years subscription.
