Agnes Laut. who is such an ardent
student of our northwest, says, writing
in the Review of Reviews: "It is a
mistake to regard the Portland expo
sition as a celebration solely of the
Lewis and Clark centennial. 1t 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 a 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 M held at st.
Louis or the famous White City of
1893. The Portland centennial celebra-
ton is to be a 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"

AN EDISON EXPERIMENT.

When Thomas A. Edison was a boy,
selling papers on train between
Huron and Cleveland, he became so
interested In electricity that he has
never been able to let 1T alone since.
Unfortunately, his spare time off duty,
was not enough for his experiments,
says the Worlds Work. He urged his
father TO allow him to sit UP nights and
play with the telegraph; but Mr. Ed
son, senior, believed in early rising
and early going to bed, and Thomas
was sent to his room promptly at o,
while his father sat up two hours long
er to read the papers the boy had
brought home.
Those two hours tempted the boy,
and at last he hit on plan for sccur-
ing them. His chum lived about two
hundred yards away, beyond an inter
yening orchard. The two boys rugged
up a telegraph circuit between their
rooms. Young Edison made batteries
of preserve Jars. The day after 1t
was in order he gave the extra papers
to his chum, and when night came
there were none for his father to read.
Mr.. Edison seemed much disturbed
by the loss Of his daily reading matter.
and by o'clock, when it was time for
Thomas to go to bed, he was very rest
less. Then the boy made sugges-
ton.
"All the papers are down at Dicks"
he said But Dick and have teIe-
graph-lln between our rooms. | think
perhaps | can call him up and get the
news"
Accordingly they adjourned to the
boys room, and soon had Dick on the
wire. Then while beyond the orchard
Dick read from the paper and sent
messages by telegraph, young Edison
took down Bulletins and handed them
to his father. Bedtime was forgotten.
and 1t was after IL o'clock before the
father was ready to quilt
After that he seemed to have no
more worry over the effect of lats
hours ON his son, and young Edison
had his time to himself for electrical
experiments.

other reduction works from the ore
mined and treated, together with the
gold obtained from placers, shows a
marked increase over the yield of the
preceding year. The quantity and val

CHRISTMAS TREE FIRES,
How the Danger of ParIor CoafIngra
tions May he Minimized

How the Danger of Parlor CoafIngra-
tions May he Minimized,
Several accidents on Christmas eve
and day each year recall the fact. appar.
ent only on that day, that the Christ
mas tree is quite as dangerous as it is
pretty, and that the proud father per
sonating Santa Claus should take the
precaution to equip himself with ashes
tos whiskers About the usual number
of fires are recorded in the country each
year as result of the innammable ma
ture of the Christmas tree and its dec
orations and their careless handling.
This warning always follows Christ
mas just as the cutlery against toy pis-
tolls is raised after the Fourth of July.
Of course no rose is free from thorns.
and apparently no holiday can be OBJ
served in the conventional fashion with
ont risk of accident to the merrymakers.
Suffering candles on Christmas tree
are very real danger, aud the same may
be said of the trees themselves the
wreaths Of evergreen and the mistletoe.
After a day or two they become dry aud
inflammable to "A high degree, and in tho
joy of the celebration risks are run and
ed down with presents and decorations
may become in an instant a torch capa-
bic Of starting a disastrous fire, as many
cities discovered the other day, to their
great cost and to the serious discomfort
of their fire departments.
BY taking preventive measures thou
sands Of dollars will be saved every year.
Trees should be bought late and kept
out doors until used In the case Of
fresh, green trees the risk will be min
imzed Candles should not be too close
together and should be constantly watch
ed. Above ALL a wet blanket should
be at hand, also a sponge on a pole long
enough to reach any point of the trees
or ceiling. So, at least, say the fire
fighters, who every year have their own
Christmas spoiled by the neglect of these
very obvious precautions.
