NEW VIEW OF THE FORESTRY BUILDING. ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING STRUCTURES AT THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPOSITION. THAT the Forestry building at the Lewis and Clark Exposition is to at tract more attention than any other of tho structures at the Fair there can be little doubt. Since its completion it has constantly been the -center of an admiring crowd. Thorc are few visitors that do not Immediately inquire of the whereabouts of the building. The immense logs of which It is constructed arouse the wonder ment of Easterners and the admiration of "Westerners. A force of men has been at work for some time on the grounds immediately surrounding the building. The Idea has been to make the surroundings harmonize with the building, and In this work great success has been met with. The accom panying photograph shows the palace from one of the ballasted boulevards in Natural Park to the west of the building. The huge stumps In the foreground are the remnants of giants of the 'forest whtch were taken away by loggers long before the Exposition was thought of. The interior view, which -will be with held from the public until the opening of the Exposition, is picturesque In the ex treme. There are 92 supporting pillars, not one of which Is less than six" feet in diameter, and a number bclns much larg er than that. The rustle effect Is pre served on the Interior, the logs retaining the natural bark. The windows are air cut in the logs -without superfluous casing3 or other of the stampmarks of the metro politan, which would spoil the general, ef fect which has tcen aimed at. In the forestry palace will be stored the different forestry exhibits, together with fish and game and part of the horticul tural display. In addition there will be X carload of giant pine cones, which will ba given away as souvenirs to all visitors. These cones are now being gathered bjj Indians for storage. SURPRISED BY RAIN Visitors at Fair Grounds Struck by Shower. FORCED TO WADE IN MUD Sudden Storm Catches Hundreds Without Umbrellas, but Does Not Put a Stop to the Sight seeing Crowd Is Large. Umbrellas were at a premium at the liewis and Clark Exposition grounds yes terday. Numbers of people ventured out to the grounds early in the day when the eun was shining, and were caught by the rain. But they wore not discouraged. The men rolled up the bottoms of their trousers and the women picked up their eklrts and saw the sights, in spite of the rather unfavorable weather. There was not a steady downpour, the rain coming In showers. Thore -would sometimes be intervals of fully a half hour when it was not raining, end this gave tho sightseers time to move around, and from under the wings of the shelter-affording buildings. Most of the raths -were deserted because of the mud. The railroad track, which is laid through the grounds, was much traveled, at it was high and "was not covered with mud, which was the case of some of the tem porary sidewalks. On each side of the track nearly all along the line the ground had been cut up and loosened by wagons and horses, and rain resulted in the ac cumulation of thick and heavy mud. There were about 100 people at one time walking the track when a switch engine pulling a couple of freight cars filled with exhibits came along. The people did not have much time, and the majority of them had to step from the ties Into the mud. In some places the yellow ntud was so deep that the parties who were incon venienced sank in It clear up above their ankles. The worst part of it was that the engine, after it got started, kept run ning along the track nearly all afternoon. This stopped all tie-walking. "I have been hearing -so mu,ch about this Exposition for the last year that I couldn't wait until It opens, so I came right to Portland to spend two or three days, if needed, in looking over the grounds," said a schoolteacher from East err. Oregoit who was one of a party of people grouped under an extended angle jot the roof of the Forestry building dur ing a light shower. "About all we read about now is the Lewis and Clark Expo sition. I am not disappointed, either. I do not believe the reports as to the extent s4 scope of the Fair have been exag gerated. Of course. It is Impossible to get a definite Idea of what the Fair will be, because there are several more build ings to go up, but I believe It will sur pass my expectations." Descendant of Expedition. One of the direct descendants of the Lewis and Clark expedition will visit the Exposition at Portland and see the great Fair which commemorates tho event in which his father had a part. He is Judge W. It. Shannon, of Fowler. Cal.. a son of George Shannon, the boy frequently mentioned in the "Journals of Lewis and Clark," on their famous expedition. President H. W. Goode, of the Exposition, has written the California promotion com mittee, suggesting that Judge Shannon join the committee's excursion to Port land. His request will be gladly complied with. Mrs. Eva Emery Dye. author of "The Conquest," who has taken a great deal of interest in looking up members of the expedition for literary material, has informed President Goode that Judge Shannon Is one of the direct living de scendants of the party who has been dis covered. He is a man of some 80 years of age. JACKSON MEN ENTHUSIASTIC Proper Exhibit of Resources of Great County to Be Made. MEDFORD. Or., March 19. (Special.).

"While there cannot be said to be any typhoid epidemic exist ing In the state and the death rate from that disease is exceedingly low owing- to its mild nature, it is genirally thought that typhoid is more prevalent than Justified by conditions.

MARSHAL ORGAN'S FINE WORK the situation now stands the Good Gov ernment Club is certain to elect a consid erable portion of Its. ticket. He Handles the Politics of St. Johns With a Skilled Hand. Great Is Charles R. Organ, the Marshal of the City or St. Johns. As a politician he will rank with the roost adroit and skillful In the manipulation of St. Johns politics. Not only did he organize the Good Government Club and dictate who went on the ticket that club has put out. but he has managed affairs with such a fine hand that nearly every candi date has been placed on either the Citi zens' or the Independent ticket, so that the Good Government Club will "catch 'em goin and comin.' " J. W. Hanks, candidate for Recorder; Fred TV. Valen tine, candidate for Treasurer; C. D. Ed wards and H. W. Brlce and C. S. Thomp son, candidates for Councllmen, on the" above ticket, were nominated on the In dependent ticket Saturday night. Mr. Hanks was nominated over M. F. Tufts by .a vote of 53 to 39. This was very fine work on the part of Marshal Organ to accomplish In the camp of the' enemy. Marshal Organ also Is after Thomas J. Monahan, Citizens candidate for Mayor. He brought about the nomination, of W. V. Jobes on the Government ticket, and not a few believe the Marshal's hand was potent in securing the nomination of W. H. King, although Mr. King has 'a very strong personality and Is favored by mem bers of the Good Government Club. The meeting Saturday night was called to nominate A. S. Douglas for Mayor, but Mr. King won out easily, so that the fight will be a three-cornered one, with even chances for each of the candidates for Mayor. It will be an Interesting fight, with the election two weeks off. The way Pears' A soap is known ty the company it keeps. Pears1 is found in good society, everywhere.

One day I read one of your circulars, and Immediately went to my druggist and purchased two bot tles of the Heart Cure, and took it according to directions, with the result that I am entirely cured. Since then I never miss an opportunity to recommend this remedy to my friends who have heart trouble; in fact I am a travel! m: advertisment. for I am widely known in this locality." J. H.
