The Lewis and Clark Fair.

1t is noticeable that interest in the
Lewis and Clark exposition at Port
land is on the increase-and we'll it
might be. The country has had a
prosperous season, and the people fee
that they can afford to take a little
outing. Naturally they think of the
great white fair on the banks of
Guilds Lake on the outskirts of Ore
CONS metropolis. This is the first
really large fair held on the Pacific
slope-and it is we'll worth a trip to
see. The exhibits are all fresh and
attractive, and there are thousands of
things that, once seen, are bound to
prove both interesting and instructive
to the visitor. The great buildings at
the exposition have been grouped with
an eye to the comfort and convenience
of the people who pay their good
money to see the things therein, and
the same statement holds good of the
exhibits themselves. The entertain
ment features, too, commend them
selves, for the most part. Some fine
music is to be had all day long, and
there are numerous good exhibitions
and festivals that are free to the peO-
pie, while the splendid view from any
point of vantage and the Examinations
at night are simply grand. On the
whole, the Lewis and Clark fair is
a great credit to the enterprise of the
people in the northwest, and it should
be the aim of every one who is able
to go to Portland and take in the fair
in it's every detail.

ping from the local plants will begin
in short time. While the run of
sockeyes was on the plants had more
offal than they could handle and a
part of it was sent to the fertilizer
plant near Port Angeles.
The fish offals also contain a good
quantity of glue, but as far as is
known, no process has ever been dis
covered by which it can be separated
from the fish. Many tons of glue are
said to be wasted in this manner.
Glue is extracted from cod and other
varieties of fish, but the experiments
with salmon along this line have nev-
er been successful.

Fish OffaI for Fertilizer.

The fertilizer plants down the Sound
have done a prosperous business this
season converting the offal from the
canneries into oil and fertilizer. The
two principal plants in this part of
the Sound are located at Smugglers'
Bay and Deepwater Bay, and each of
these will have about 800 barrels of
oil and many tons of fertilizer in
their warehouses at the end of the
season.
Oil is the principal product of the
plants. The offal is steamed and
pressed and the oil extracted and the
leavings are dried and packed in
sacks and shipped mostly to Califor-
MIA points to be used as fertilizer.
There is always ready market for
both the fertilizer and oil and the ship

however, that an inspector would be
