the Rose City, it's roses climbing to upper stories, adorning high walls and arbors. One of the interesting details of the city's preparation for it's visit ors this summer is the effort citizens are making to have the place deserve its floral name.
 We have received word that the school-children of Portland have taken into their hands the problem of mak- ing the Rose City look presentable dur ing the Lewis and Clark exposition. Over 2,000 are already enrolled in the prize yard-cleaning and fower-plant- ing contests which have been inaug- urated by the civic improvement board of the chamber of commerce. Port lands reputation as the Rose City will be abundantly maintained during the exposition, for, in addition to the thou- sands of roses that now blossom in all of the residence districts, 10000 additional rose bushes will be distrib- uted free to all who desire them.
 The exposition. which is to be held from June 1 to October 15, will open when the roses are at their best. and the bushes will continue to bloom un- til late fall. Although this city is in the latitude of Bangor, Me, its climate is mild and equable. Seldom does the temperature get down to the freezing point, and never rises to extreme heat. Winter is the rainy season. summer here is delightful. And to speak again of roses. at the exposition ten acres Of the agricultural gardens are to be de- voted to the queen of flowers.
 It is safe to prophecy that visitors to the exposition will carry away with them memories of roses and beautiful waters as the most vivid picture. The site of the fair is a grassy slope over looking the Willamette river and Guild's lake. Some 60 acres of the 416 occupied by the fair extend out into the lake in the form of a peninsula. The distant views. the immediate sur roundings are of most unusual attrac- tiveness.
 A building that is typically Oregon fan is the Forestry building. made of giant logs. It not only indicates the wonderful timber resources of the state. but is a most picturesque struc- ture. The exhibit buildings are of con- yentional pattern. but they are care fullv built, architecturally attractive and very finely grouped. They com nrise ii main structures. special pavil- ions. administration building. auditor ium. state. territorial and concessions bujldings. and various private edifices. The place. of concessions will be known as "The Trail"
 One of the finest exhibitions of Amer ican sculpture ever displayed may be seen at the exposition. Many groups and figures of paramount historical in- terest are included. Americas most famous sculptors are represented. Miss Alice Cooper, of Denver. is the sculptor of the bronze statue of Sacajawea, which is to stand in the center of Colum- bia court. the central plaza Sacajawea vas the Indian woman that guided Lewis and Clark at most critical pc rfod in their northwest explorations and brought them safely to the broad

 In his two remaining groups, MT. Borglum offers other types of western life, the cowboy and his sturdy broncho. These are ably executed and offer care full and conscientious study of the theme, "A Western Incident" which has been mounted upon Lakeview ter- race, shows one of the denizens of the range sprawled upon the ground, appar- ently in anticipation of an attack by hOstiles, the broncho standing by in readiness to dash away with his master if necessary. To illustrate the priva- tions endured by the cowboy and his pony, Mir. Borglum offers "The Bliz-

BEAUTIFUL city it is that
 is to offer an exposition this summer, an exposi- tion in memory of brave deeds, a fair of a great

ana WOnQerIul country.
 Agnes Laut, who is such an ardent student of our northwest, says. writing in the Review of Reviews: "It is g mistake to regard the Portland expo sition as celebration solely of the Lewis and Clark centennial. It cele- brates very much more than the feat of the two great American explorers finding the way from the Missouri to the Pacific. The real significance of the exposition is public and national observance of the heroic period in the history of the American west"
 The celebration takes the form of an international exposition, one on a large and splendid scale, but with no attempt to rival the one held at St. Louis or the famous White City of 1893. The Portland centennial celebra- tion is to be distinctive affair. "The highest aim of the Lewis and Clark exposition management is to create an exposition individual and distinctive, expressing with fidelity and clearness the sentiment, history and life of the Pacific northwest and their direct re- lationship to the orient"
 know no city more ideally located than Portland. Ore It is situated on the broad Willamette river.
