Portland, Dec. II. Elaborate sub
marine Illumination of Guild's lake
will form an unique feature of the
Lewis and Clark centennial. Guild's
lake, which Is the largest body of wa
ter ever enclosed within an exposition
fence, separates the' mainland and the
government peninsula, and Is spanned
by the Bridge of Nations and the Trail,
which are aggregately over 2000 feet
long. '
Chief Enrtneer j. R. Thompson has
I planned to place rows of 60-candle
torn of the lake on each side of the
Bridge of Natlona The lights will
be enclosed in airtight and watertight
marine receptacles, and when the Il
lumination Is accomplished it will be
possible for spectators on the bridge
to look down and see fish swimming
In the lake.
In order to make the effect as at
tractive as possible, the lake will be
filled with fresh water fish of various
kinds, such as lake trout, catfish, bass,
mullets and sunfish. Water plants
will also be placed on both sides of
the bridge.
To complete the picture, the sur
face of the lake will be dotted with
Indian canoes, propelled by repre
sentatives of the Indian tribes through
whose country Lewis and Clark passed
In their historic pilgrimage a century
ago. Besides these there will be a
myriad of other craft, ranging from
row boats to racing launches of the
latest pattern.

WILL GET NEW YEAR TIME.
CIHwiih of a Portion of Crook County:
Htt-k New Organliatlon.
Tliat the agitation for the forma
tion of the new county of "Stockman,"
or "Jefferson," from' a portion of
Crook county, will be revived at the
coming session of the legislature, 1.
shown by the following article from
the Ashwood Prospector.
The Prospector says:
IjibI week's Crook County Journal
hud considerable to, say about county
division and the proposed new coun
ty of "Stockman." The Journal might
take nutlce that the proposed new
county will not be called Stockman,
but Jefferson county. But mat nas
nothing to do wtlh tne merits of the
case. '
Two years ago the friends of the
new county made an effort to secure
Its creation. 'The bill passed the house
with only four vote, against It, nut it
whs defeated In the senate. At that
time the residents of Prlnevllle made
a determined und successful elfort
against the creation of the county, and,
the principal argument advanced by
them against the new county was that
Crook county could not afford to lose
the amount of tuxnble property asked
for by the new county.
It Is an Interesting fact, too, that
l.i spite of Prlnevllle's cry of poverty
two years ago, the county I. out of
debt and has a comfortable sum In
the treasury.
Incidentally, It might be mentioned
that the only evidence the residents
of this section of the county have of
an abundance of funds In the county
treasury Is from the occasionally pub
llshed statements of the county's fi
nance., for very little county money
has been spent here In the building of
bridges or betterment of roads.
The Journal doe. not .tale on what
ground. Prlnevllls will oppose the new
,...niv move this year, except that
