WHEN EAST MEETS WEST
The East needs an introduc
tion to the Middle West. Both
the Eantand the Middle West
need an introduction to the Far
West. That introduction is
going to be made, formally you
may take your choice this year,
and the Lewis and Clark Ex
position will be the introducer.
This Exposition, which will
open Jane 1, will be useful in
many ways, but in no way will
it be more useful to Americans
than in making the far divided
sections of this great country
acquainted with each other.
What does the man who lives in
Augastrt on the Kennebeck, for
iusianceknow about the man
whose home is at Salem on the
Willamette? And the La Grande
Oregoniaii what is his concep
tion of the Washington whose
residence is in the District, of
Columbia? Between San Fran
cisco and New York stretch 3,
000 miles of teriitory, and the
middle does uot know the ends,
nor do the , ends - have proper
acquaintance with each other.
The Exposition at Portland
will bring together both ends
and the middle and make them
mutually acquainted. The East
ought to know more about ' the
East, for Easterners travel in
the West more than Westerners
travel in the East; but somehow
those touring Easterners do not
seem to diffuse their knowledge
of the West ; when they return
home. Or perhaps the home
staying Easterners refuse to be
lieve .that their travel-wise
neighbors tell them of the WeBt
becausb some of those tales are
tallish, so to speak, and appear
aabelievablo to the eye of the
conservative Easterner.
On the other hand, the East
has gained a mighty misconcep
tion of the Weat ,by placing
credence in tales entirely too
tall for the proper stature of
truth'and veracitv. The "wild
and wooly" West is the only
Wst which much of the East
knows of. The tamed and tran
quil West they refuse to believe
in, and they entertain also, in
some quarters, a notion that the
West is incapable of complete
civilisation.
