AMONG NOTABLE FAIR DAYS

Triennial Session, With Ad
dresses by Members Meet
at Jamestown in 1007.
ADMISSIONS. 22.015.
Records of the turnstiles show 22,015
admissions to the Exposition yester
day. Captain Meriwether Lewis was the
guest of honor at the Lewis and Clark
Exposition yesterday. Not Captain Lewis
In person, for the Intrepid explorer long
ago finished his historic career, but his
precious memory was revived and his
life held up as a shining example of
American patriotism. The Lewis spirit,
to which was largely due the consumma
tion of the wonderful achievement which
Is commemorated by the Exposition, was
also prevalent yesterday, enthusing those
who attended the Fair for the express
purpose of paying homage to the famed
pathfinder.
People of the Northwest were afforded
an opportunity yestorday to honor and
enshrine In recollection the memory of
Captain Meriwether -Lewis as never bo
fore. The Exposition itself Is a magnifi
cent tribute to the two explorers, who
blazed the pathway to the Pacific North
west, and every day that It Is a reality
it more reverently honors the names of
the two patriots. But yesterday" was
Captain Meriwether Lewis day at the
Exposition, and the Lewis badges, worn
by thousands of visitors on the grounds,
showed that the people of Oregon and
neighboring states are not unappreclatlvc
or unmindful of the great part Captain
Lewis played in the opening of the North
west Territory.
Lewis day exorcises were held In the
Exposition Auditorium, both In the morn
ing and afternoon. Prominent men and
descendants of Captain Lewis eulogized
his deeds and life. They told of his un
selfishness, love of country, bravery and
othere commendable and beautiful traits.
The invocation was pronounced by Rev.
C. A. Lewis, of Portland. Dr. K. A. J.
Mackenzie was a speaker at the morning
exerciser He referred briefly to the im
portance attached to the trip of Captains
Lewis and Clark, wtlh their hardy band,
to the Northwest, as one of the most im
portant events la the American history.
Jefferson and Ills Mother's Estimate
Frank P. Lewis, of Seattle, supreme
chancellor of the Loyal Lewis Legion,
made an interesting address. Judge A.
T. Lewis, of Portland, gave an able and
well-recolved sketch of the life of Cap
tain Lewis. He said in part:
"When Jefferson was inaugurated
President, the young Lieutenant became
his secretary. The President says of
Lewis: I now have the opportunity of
knowing him intimately; of courage un
daunted; possessing a firmness and perse
verance of purpose that nothing but Im
possibilities could divert from Its direc
tion.' "The mother of Meriwether Lewis in
1820 stated that his lettors before starting
on his homeward Journey were full of love
and affection. She never believed that
her son committed suicide. She firmly
bellrved he was murdered by his Span
ish servant. The report of the Lewis
Monument Society of Tennessee says that
it seems to be more probable that Gov
ernor Lewis was murdered and robbed,
and the Tennessee people always held
that he did not shoot himself."
The principal address of the day was
delivered by Judge H. H. Northup. of
Portland, who took as his subject "The
Building of an Empire." He said, In the
course of his remarks:
"The United States embraces an empire
within its domain. With the shores of
the Atlantic on the east, of the Pacific
on the west, with tho Great Lakes .and
the British -possessions on the north, and
the Gulf of Mexico on the south, it con
tains the heart of the continent. It has
a mighty population. It possesses a gov
ernment free and enlightened, well adapt
ed to produce the highest degree of civili
zation, and to which the people are deeply
attached. It Is the great republic of the
world, and one of the powers that con
trols the destinies of mankind."
Descendants Pay Tribute.
The other speakers were John M. Lewis,
president of the local Loyal Lewis Le
gion, and treasurer of Multnomah Coun
ty, and Andrew T. Lewis, vice-president
of the local Lewis Society. Both of the
speakers delivered glowing and eloquent
tributes to the memory of their ancestor.
The programme also included several se
lections by the Administration Band,
songs by the Rose City Quartet and a
solo by Miss Llnehan.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:20 o'clock. In
the Auditorium, a meeting was held of
the Lewis Loyal Legion, which had ad
journed from Its first triennial session
held In St. Louis last September. It Is"
composed of descendants of Captain Meri
wether Lewis and other members of the

brief description of the organization, tell
ing of its methods and purposes. Miss

tory of the family. "Lewislana" was

should be kept as a day of rest and wor
ship. "When I was invited to preach at the
Fair. I was informed that the amusement
street of the Exposition would be closed
on Sunday, and that the Fair would only
be open for educational purposes. I find
upon my arrival that the conditions arc
ontlrely changed. In declining to preach,
I do not wish to Imply any censure of tho
Exposition management. I do so In pro
test of the fact of an open Exposition.
The management of the Fair. I under
stand, has been, ovorruled by court on the
question of Trail opening. Upon this I
wish to express no Judgment as to the
responsibility."
Dr. Strong, while declining to spoak
Sunday, will appear at the Civics Confer
ence, which opens tomorrow for tho week.
He will be among tomorrow's sp'cakers,

was impossible to got them over

bewildered and frightened by the pres

could not be driven. About 15 of the
drove broke away and wero not re
covered. Every conceivable effort
was made to get the band across the
bridge. Finally "Old Billy." trained
to lead other sheep about the drives
at tho stookyards, was sent for and
brought' in a wagon, a tho old ram
is too fat to travel so far. He was led
out Jn front of the flock, when all
trouble vanished. The entire drove,
less the 15 lost, quietly rellowed "Old
Billy" across to the West Side, where
they were shipped by Albert Kline to
Port Townsend. Mr. Kelzle said tho

anticipated that any extraordinary
