The ascent of the Columbia® was fraught with less danger than the de- scent, but was much more arduous. The stock of merchandise for trading with the Indians was alarmingly low, and this was ome ;ren cause of anxiety. The expedition’proceeded up the south bank of the stream and came unex- pectedly upon the Willamette. River, which they had missed en route to the ocean, and on April 2 Captain Clark set out to explore the river, ascending on the following day to the place whére the city of Portland now stands. At the south of the Lapage River, later called the John Day, the canoes were bandoned and the travelers proceeded on foot, packing their baggage on the backs of a few horses purchased from the Indians. The Walla Walla Indians received them most hospitably, and Yellept, their chief, presented Captain Clark with a superb white stallion, a kind- ness which Clark reciprocated by the gift of a sword.

ANOTHER AMERICAN WOMAN ENTERS BRITISH PEERAGE Death of Lord Grimthorpe Brings Title to Her Husband, Ernest Wil- linm Beckett. LONDON, May 27.—By the death of that wonderful old man, Lord Grimthorpe, in his eighty-ninth year, another American woman enters the charmed circle of the British Peerage. The title passes to the late nobleman’s nephew, Ernest Willlam Beckett, who over twenty years ago mar- ried Miss Lucy Tracy Lee of New York.

Captain Lewis died on October 11, 1509, at the age of 35 years. It is presumed he committed suicide while troubled with a disease to which he had been subject in early life. His assoclate, Captain Clark, gave his country long and faithful ser- vicé in various public capacities. He | died September 1, 1838, at the age of 68 vears. | The story of the remarkable journey | across the country was given wide pub- | licity, and the fame of the exploit of | Lewis and Clark has continued to grow down to the present day, as its import- | ance becomes more and more apparent. It is a notable fact that the first publica- tion of a journal of the expedition was | made in London. | In his message to the Fifty-eighth Con- | gress recommending the project of the Tewis and Clark Centennial Exposition President Roggevelt said: “I trust that the Congress will con- tinue to favor in all proper ways the Louisiana purchase, which was the first step in the expansion which made us a conttnental nation. The expedition of Lewis and Clark across the continent | followed thereon and marked the begin- | ning of the process of exploration and | colonization which thrust our national | boundaries to the Pacific. The acquisi- | tion of the Oregon country, including the present States of Oregon, Washington and Idaho. was a fact of immense im- portance to our country, first giving us our place on the "Pacific seaboard and making ready the way for our ascend- ency in the commerce of the greatest of | cceans. The centennial of our establish- ment upon the western coast by the ex- pedition of Lewis and Clark is to be celebrated at Portland, Or., by an exposi- tion in the summer of 1505, and this event should receive recognition and support | from the National Government.” | s o | CALIFCRNIA’S EDUCATIONAL | EXHIBIT 1S EXCELLENT | Director Robert Furlong of the Expo- sition Discusses the Display From the Golden State. PORTLAND, May 27.—Robert Fur- long, director of the educational exhibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, makes the following statement: | “California’s exhibit in education will comprise representative work from both the public and private schools of ! the State. Over forty of the counties and cities that lead in matters educa- | tional will present material from their | classrooms. Institutional displays will be made by the University of Califor- nia, Milis College, Throop Institute, the | California School of Mechanical Arts, the Wilmerding School of Industrial | Arts, Heald's Business College, Heald's School of Mines and Engineering, the State Polytechnic School, the State In- | stitution for the Deaf and the Blind, | also a collective exhibit in photography | from the five State normal schools. | “Some special features of the exhibit ! will be a disptay of industrial art work, large relief maps showing physical features of certain localities in the | State, a huge globe showing commercial | relations of San Francisco with other | seaports, and some 200 or more photo- transparencies from the University of California’ Many of the photo-trans- parencies are from the Lick Observa- tory on Mount Hamilton and are astro- | nomical views of rare size and excel- lence. Some of them are from photo- graphic plates taken in remote corners of the globe by expeditions sent from the Lick Observatory to observe the | sun in total eclipse.

Lewis and Clark Exposition CLARK RELION Y N RARE CENS Mineral Products of Pacific States Will Be Exhibited at Lewis and Clark Fair ‘TO EDUCATE THE PEOPLE California Will ]iave Good Display and Other States Will Vie With Her Exhibit David T. Day, head of the Department of Mines and Metallurgy of the United Btates Geological Survey, is sponsor for the statement that diamonds are found in California and that some of the Amer- ican stones will be exhibited at the Lewis One of ' them which will be exhibited is about the size !of a pea and is as brilliant as a South American diamond.~ Dr. Day does not claim that the dia- mond industry is destined to become of great value in California, but admits that there are possibilities that the stones may be found in sufficient quantities to war- rant systematic mining for them. Besides Diamonds, the geologist is au- thority for the statement that the Pacific Northwest States are rich in many other precious gems, many of which are not generally known to exist in America. A complete exhibit of these will be shown at the Western World's Fair in what will be the finest collection of val- uable stones ever assembled under one | roof. Rubles, pearls, sapphires and gar- nets are included among the gems which will be shown. From Oregon will be displayed a collec- tion of rubles which are found in consid- erable abundance,_ although too small for | use in jewelry. The Oregon rubles will | be shown as they are used commercially, as watch jewels, watch movements set with rubies being displayed so that ail can see them. GEMS FROM SAN DIEGO. Probably the most valuable single col- | lection of gems will be exhibited by San Diego County, California, which produces more precious stones and stones of high- | er quality than any other county in the Golden State. San Diego County's tur- | quoises, garnets, tourmaline crystals and other gems, which won high recognition at St. Louts, will be even better displayed | at Portland. From Montana will come a wonderful | display of sapphires, not only blue ones, | but brown, vellow, white, pink and red | varieties, and a horseshoe made by a | Denver manutacturer will show the gra- | dations. | This northwestern country, which was added to the domain of the United States by right of discovery as a result of the | Lewis and Clark expedition, the centen- nial of which the Western World's Fair is to commemorate, is a land of mar- velous natural wealth. Hitherto, however, Easterners, even recsidents of the Oregon country, | have regarded its wealth as consisting | for the most part in agricultural and for-| estry products, and thousands of peopie | move West every year to engage in farm- ing, while lumber companies of almost | unlimited capital are cutting billions of | feet of timber every year from mighty forests of Washington and Ore- gon and Idaho. TO EDUCATE PEOPLE. It is likely that the precious stones will continué to be but a small factor in com- | | puting the enormous wealth of this new country, but the gem product hereafter | will be worthy of consideration. It i: the purpose of the United States Govern- ment in making such elaborate prepara- tions for a gem exhibit at the fair to educate the people, especially the unedu- cated miners, to a kiiowledge of the value of these precious stones and of their ap- pearance in the rough in order that the not inconsiderable value of the product may not be lost. It is believed that miners have lost thousands of dollars yearly by not being able to appreciate the value of the gems which they discovered, not recognizing the ordinary looking pebbles as gems. ‘While the exhibit of natural gems proye a most interesting feature of t mines display, a hardly less interesting feature will be an experimental plant for the manufacture of diamonds. Many theorists and naturalists have been at work for many years trying to learn na- ture’s secret method of producing dia- monds. CAN MAKE DIAMOND DUST. A prominent Pittsburg steel manufac- turer stumbled upon a process that pro- duces dlamond dust, valuable for com- mercial uses, but the secret of making gems is quite as baffling asever. It is the process of making diamond dust that will be shown in the mining building, and the process is quite simple. Two thick wires are inserted in a cru- cible, end to end, like the carbons of an arc light. In a narrow space between the two cables Is inserted a plece of soft steel. A heavy current of electricity is then turned through the wires, and thus the steel is heated to a high temperature, Then charcoal from sugar is added, and this is qpickly absorbed, and with this absorption of carbon the steel be- comes cast-irom. It is then passed, by means of a fireclay step, through four feet of cold water and cooled. Thus the | exterfor coating contracts and through a terrific pressure on the heated interior the diamond dust is created.—Chicago Chronicle. the | 11 Herole Statue of Ceres. .
