borrow County Lewis nnd Clark
Club Organized.
Jefferson Myers, president of the
Lewis and Clark Fair Commission and
G. Y. Harry, a member of the com
mission were in Heppner a couple of
3ays this week for the purpose of get
ting the people of Morrow county in
terested in getting an exhibit for the big
fair to be held in Portland next year.
Both President Myers and Commis
sioner Harry are hard workers and are
lrlv interested in the matter of
county exhibits and succeeded in cre
ating considerable interest and enthu
siasm in the matter of collecting acred-
itable exhibit from this county.'
""Two meetings were held. Tuesday
evening temporary organization was ef
fected and Judge T. W. Ayers was
elected chairman and R. F. Hynd, sec
retary.
Wednesday evening an organization
was effected to be known as the Morrow
County Lewis and Clark Club, with
Judge T. W. Ayers as president and C.
K.Woodson as secretary. A com
mittee was appointed consisting of
Judge T. W. Ayers, May or Frank
Gilliam, and Geo. Conser, who is one of
the commissioners, to take the matter
in hind of gathering exhibits.
President Myers delivered an inter
esting address and impressed the im
portance of early action in order to get
the exhibits of grain, grasses, fruits,
etc, this year, which is absolutely nec-1
essary for an exhibit at the fair. Mr.
Myers explained that for transportation
from Morrow county for all exhibits
will not cost one dollar. That a suit
able and attractive booth would be fur
nished free of charge, and that it all de
pended upon the patriotism of our home
people in collecting an exhibit of our
resources in order for Morrow county to
be properly represented.
Silver Dollars Will Not be Coined.
"There will never bo another silver
dollar coined in this country," said
George E. Roberts, director of the
United States Mint, in an interview in
the Oregonian.
"No there will be no more new silver
dollar pieceB turned out of the Govern
ment's money plant unless by some
chance a 16-to-l Congress should be
elected, for the supply of silver bullion
purchased under Sherman act is ex
hausted."
From July 14, 1890, when the Sher
man law went into effect, until it was
repealed in 1893, the Government
bought 155,000,000 ounces of silver.
This has gradually been worked up into
dollars until the present time, when
each coinage has ceased, in all proba
bility never to be resumed, Mr, Roberts
continued :
"Our records show a remarkable in
crease in the gold production of the
world during the past decade. For the
year 18!K), the output of the world's
gold mines amounted to 8120,000.000, in
J,S9:j it was 125.000,000, in 1903 be
tween 8o25,000,000 and 8330,000, our
figures are not complete, and for 1904 it
will, in all liklihood, be f350,000,000.
The annual gold output of the world has
nearly trebled in ten years. That's
why there is no 'silver question.'
"Most people think the mints are
busy coining gold. They are mistaken.
The bulk of the work we do is in the
making of copper cent pieces and nick
els. The profits derived from the coin
age of these two coins last year amount
ed to almost $2,000,000, which paid all
the operating expenses. We buy a
pound of copper for 15 cents and 'make
144 cent pieces oat of It, Nickel costs
40 cents a pound, and a pound makes

"Formerly very few pennies were in
circulation on the Pacific Coast, or in
the Pocky Mountain country, but now
they are used everywhere, and the de
mand is increasing.
"Don't get the impression, however,
that we are going out of the gold-coin
business. For the fiscal year ending
today, our coinage of gold will reach
$200,000,000, the largest in the history
of the country, and the largest gold
mintage ever turned out by any country
in the world in one year.

Guarascio, the 16-year-old Italian girl

her murderer. Guglielmo's attorney
will take an appeal to the supreme
court, but it Is not stated on what
grounds.
for 1905 Souvenirs.
Washington, June 30. Secretary
Shaw today approved a design for the
Lewis and Clark souvenir gold dollar,
which has been prepared at the Phila
delphia mint in acoordance with the
wi6h of the Exposition authorities. It
calls for a likeness of Lewis on one
side, encircled by the words "United
States of America, One Dollar," while
a portrait of Clark will appear on the
other side, with the words "Lewis and
Clark Exposition, Portland, Oregon."
In returning the design to the Phila
delphia mint, Secretary Shaw directed
that the dies be prepared at once, and
that 25,000 dollars be immediately
coined. Mint officials say it will be im
possible, with this first lot of coin, at
least, to use Oregon gold, as requested
by Senator Mitchell. It is desired to
complete these coins as soon as possible,
in order that they may be turned over
to the Exposition authorities, who will
purchase them at par value. As the
Exposition authorities may desire from
time to time, additional souvenir dol
lars will be coined up to the maximum
limit of 250,000 fixed by law,
The law forbids the "publication of
pictures of United States money. For
this reason Secretary Shaw could not
giye out copies of the design of the
Lewis and Clark dollar.
