 Japan will lead all other nations in the world in the size and value of her par ticlpation in the Lewis and Clark expo stion. Japan will occupy 15,00O square feet, almost one-third of the space in the Oriental Exhibits building, and the dispaly exhibited there will be worth N,- coo, 900.
 A Dixie society, whose men bership con- sists of citizens of Oregon wno formerly lived in the south has been formed for the purpose of exploiting the Lewis and Clark exposition in the territory south of Mason and Dixon's line. Governor George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, who Is a na- tive of Mississippi, is president of the so- ciety.
 An interesting feature of the United States government display at the Lewis and Clark exposition will be an immense working model of the Palouse irrigation project, representing on small scale all the features of the great enterprise which the government intends to carry out for the purpose of redeeming arid lands in eastern Washington.
