ASHAMED OF COUNTY
VISITORS TO Lewis and CLARK
FAIR FROM CHEHALIS COUNTY
Are Humiliated by the Lack Of Any
display From Their Home County,.
Almost Every County in the State
of ANY Importance, Except Cheha-
lis, Is Represented There

Already hundreds OF Chehalis county
citizens have visited the Lewis and Clark
exposition at Portland, and with whom
the HERALD has talked, express them
selves heartily ashamed of the penurious
policy Of the county commissioners in
failing to provide means for suitable
exhibit. When they find counties with
out near the resources and attractions
for homeseekers that Chehs' is presents
making fine displays OF their products,
the penny wise and pound foolish policy
OF the County Dads is somewhat hu.
initiating.
The following letter to the Montesano
Vidette from Disguised visitor at the
exposition fully expresses the feelings OF
majority OF the visitors from this
county:
OAKvlLLE, July IA, 1905.
EDITOR VIDETTE: - The Lewis and
Clark exposition in Portland is pro.
nounced by those competent to judge as
not inferior to the Chicago. Buffalo OF
St. Louis fairs in exhibits, though the
buildings cover much less ground.
Visitors ere struck by the grandeur Of
the Forestry and Government buildings
and generally concede the Washington
and California buildings as superior tc
those of the other states.
The Illinois building is reproduction
Of the home OF Abraham Lincoln; the
Missourian exhibit wonderful Landscapes
and statuary worked out in grains
grasses and s. eds, and even faraway
Massachusetts has contributed classical
building containing works from hel
schools and colleges.
From across the oceans, from Italy and
France, Austria and Germany, India
Egypt and Japan have tributes been
brought.
Every county in California and in Ore
gon has made brave displays, as well
as many of the counties OF Washington
but the visitors from Chehalis county
will look in vain to see their own county
represented. The only article from THU
this section Of our state is the curly ma
pie table, made by Mr.. Winthrop, a gen
tleman from Hoquiam.
There is no blade OF oats nor epea, o
| wheat to indicate the waving grain field.
Of our valley, not even a cut OF fir OF
spruce to suggest our vast timber indus
tries; there is not so much as potato
from our farm lands, and as for our pub.
lie school exhibits, if the visitor at the
fair by any chance discovers there is such
place as Chehalis county be will be led
to believe that our children are growing
up in entire ignorance.
Though We have two Indian reserva-
tons in the county, there is not a relic
to trace the history Of our native tribes,
nor anything to show the work that the
government Is now doing for them.
Is Chehalis county so barren of re.
sources that we have nothing to send!
Or are we too poverty stricken to be able
to make any appropriations whatever?
When the saloons now flourishing in the
county were forced upon US we were

given to understand that the revenues
derived from them would make us so
opulent that we would have money to
burn.
Or is it,-and probably this is the real
reason, that we are SO devoid Of patriot
ism, so lacking in local pride and spirit
that the great discoveries Of Lewis and
Clark and their effect upon our wonder
full Northwest have failed to impress us
with their magnitude. and we are sleepily
letting the opportunity of the century to
advertise our resources to eastern expo
sition visitors slip by?
There sill rem ain nearly three months
in which to make ourselves known.
Shall We not yet try to make an exhibit?

IRON AT ELMA.
riinina Excitement of 1890 Revived
on the MOx ChehaliS.

rotninQ Excitement OF 900 Kevlveo
on the rox ChehaIis.
VIM. F.. Boeing, of Virginia, Jay G.
Weatherwav and Mrs. Weatherwax, G.
M. " eatherwax, F. NJ. Wylie, f. Ford
new Of Aberdeen, have filed mining
claims in section 33.l85, in the Mox
Chehalis mining district of Chehalia
county. TIL, location is about five miles
due east OF Elma.
Each claim is 600 by 1900 feet, and
iron ore is the mineral which the locatora
have found.
It has always boon supposed that iron
existed in that neigh5orhood, as compass
es refuse to work properly when in that
section.
About Is years ago Olympia people
located claims on the Mox Chehali' and
did some development work, but finally
abandoned the claims.
Mr.. Boeing is very wealthy voune
man. He owns considerable timber land
in this state and also in California. Last
year he cleared up $4,000 in less than
six months by getting options on iron
ore land in Minnesota, investing $500
and selling for SIS ,O00.-Vidette.
Speaking OF this ore the Elma Chron'
icle says:
This mining region has attracted at
tention every few years since Elma was
first settled. The Chronicle has had
specimens of the ore on exhibition con-
stantly for five and one-half years, and
has always thought that there was plenty
OF wealth there. Although the analysis
showed high per cent. OF iron, chemists
have found go much trouble with the ore
| that with the methods Of reduction then
in vogue, was thought that it could moi
be proftably worked.
That there is an abundance of iron
there has long been known, but the
difficulty in reducing the mineral hat
prevented development. 1t is to be
hoped that these new prospectors viii
be more successful than have their pre-
decessors.

OF MURDERER
FOUND IN THE RIVER
St. Paul Police Discover Remains
Shedding Light on Schindel-
decker Killing.

st. Paul, Mimi, March 1S.-The
body of Joseph Hartman, the alleged
accomplice of Edward GottschaIk, who
is charged with the murder of Chris
tian Schindeldecker in his meat mar
ket on Feb. IS was found in the Mis-
sissippi river yesterday.
The body was found by the police
who have been dragging the river for
days on the supposition that after
having assisted in the murder of
Schindeldecker, Hartman was killed to
prevent him giving information about
the murder.
No doubt exists that Hartmann was
murdered. Upon his feet were tied
two heavy fat irons to keep the body
from rising to the surface. On the
back of his head was a cut, apparently
made with a fiat iron. Edward Colts
chalk was held to the grand jury on
a charge of having murdered Chris
tain H. Schindeldecker.
