Monday the people of the State of Oregon were shocked to learn of the sudden death of Congressman Thos. II. Tongue 1st congressional district. Mr. Tongue has been promi nent in the political affairs of the state for years, and in his work as congressman he has proved himself a sincere, brilliant and able worker for his state, as well as always having a watchful eye for the Pacific coast generally. It is only in his death that the people of Oregon, regard less of politics, fully realire his worth and what it will take to re place him. Always sincere, always wot king, never lagging, he was first making a record as a states man seldom equaled in the west. The state can well afford to mourn tficlossofa splendid gentleman, a faithful ftiend. While it is re gretted that he should be cut off in the very budding of his usefulness, it is a relief to those who hold him near to heart to know that the end came without a struggle without a pain. Governor Geer in his retiring speech cautions legislators not to indulge in too much law making. He dso advocates special revenue measures to provide for a Lewis and Clark fund, also the fiat salary system, compliments the Soldiers' Home management, and gives a general review of the state's busi ness during his incumbency of of fice. In many respects Gov. Geer has made a good presiding officer, aud while he has and perhaps in some respects deserves it been sub jected to considerable criticism, still be has acquitted himself well. Like the expression of the father of the boy who broke his neck: ''it might have been worse he might have had his head cut off" we might have done worse, had a worse governor. We have an exceedingly well regulated public school in Cottage Grove, but like every other insti ' tution of like proportion some things are apt to be overlooked, owing to lack of time, by the man agement. In nearly every public school the fire drills have been established to such a degree of suc cess that in cases of fire the build ing can be emptied of its cargo of human souls in from one to three minutes. Fire comes seldom but nearly always with tragic results, and every precaution should be takeu in our public schools. Drill the boys and girls. Establish the drill; practice it for a while every day until all understand it, even if it takes a few moments after school Establish a code of signals un beknown to the children that every teacher may in a moment empty ber room of its human freight. LUWIS AND CLARK liXPOSITION. , Two important things are before the Oregon legislature at this time the election of a United States sena tor and an appropriation to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. The election of an able man to the senate and the appropriation of a fund that will do Oregon credit, demonstrating to her sister states that she is progressive-and appreciates the great work and worth of the men in whose honor she subscribes. The illustrated edition of the .Roseburg Review, for January, is at hand. It is an exceedingly neat and complete paper, covering the entire Southern Oregon field. It has many half-tones of the impor tant buildinj in Roseburg and sur rounding parts as well as illustra tions of many features cbaracteistic of that section of Oregon. It is a good paper to send East to friends. Hon. L. T. Harris, elected speaker of the house of the Ore gon Legislature, is one of the brightest, most popular young men in the state. He ts a splendid orator, a No. I attorne and a clever politician. He is fast making a mark that will reflect honor upon himself aud his state. T- . , , AMONG THE LODOES. OUI l'OHT, (I. A. II.

Tho following article Is a brief statement of tho purposes of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Imposi tion. A writer to tho Kdlnlmrg Review In ISMS described Ori'iron as tho hist comer on earth left free for tho occu pation. ol a clvllltod raw. "When Oregon shall tm coloulted," he declnrod,j"tlio map of the world may bo considered as tilled tip." This was written knt tho tlnio the boundary question was (lending between the United States and Great llrltlnn, terminating Juno 15, 18l, In tho addition of the territory iKitween tho 42nd and the 4'Jth parallels and west of tlie.ltocky mountain to our national ilotuitlu. l-'lftyone years before Captain Gray had discovered tho Columbia river anil 38 years before Lewis and Clark had coia p.cled their expedition across tho continent by making camp 011 the shores of tho I'nelllc. The oiiolhttudroth anniversary of tho arrlvnljot tli 1-owls and (.lark party In Oregon will lie commemo rated In ltV.ly an exposition which win bo representative of American, Ettroiioiin aud Oriental lite, customs and Industry. Preparations for this event are now actively under way. A company with $j00,000 capital has been incorporated at Portland, tho site has been selected near the very point on the Willamette reached by Captain Clark In April INK!, and the various State legislatures and Con gress will be asked to make appro priations. Our lewis aud Clark im position will be national iu scoie and importance. Nothing that lias oceured since the discovery of gold In California will-so attract attention to the Pncltie West ami Its wonderful capablltles for homo building and Industry as the Lewis and Clark Exposition of 1W5. Tho East, now well tilled up with people, and lucking tho cheap laud that In generations past was its chief inducement to the home seeker, now appreciates the West aud realizes its value to an expand ing country. The great task that tho West has hud to overcome, the prejudice against it, was due to the fact that for forty years following the purchase of Louisiana the laud was not needed for settlement and the people of the United States were at a loss to know what to do with the new piiM-vivn. lletweelt 1NI2 urn! lsVI, purchase, exploration and war added -,l."tS,4!j squure miles . our national extent, over two anil ouo-hulf times ns large uu uron as Greut Urituln by tho treaty of 1TKI decluml to be "free, sovereign und Independent states." All this vast territory Is west of the Mississippi River and the dny when It liegnn to be needed for settlement is within the memory of men yet in the prime of life. The Oregon country, which the expedition of lewis and Clark as sured to American sovereignity, cotnprixes nil of the present states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, the Western part of Montana und the Southwestern part of Wyoming. It had in IS.7) an nreu of 1US.000 square miles and a population of less than 14,000. It now has L.Vw.OOO eople with room for 15,000,100 more, anil an aggregate wealth, all classes of proHTty Included, of n proximately ?2,000,000,l)00. Its two great cities. Portland and Seattle, have over 100,000 population each, and three others, Tnconm Spokane and Butte, have nearly TpO.OOO each. Captain Clark found near Portland In 1S0C a few miserable Indian huts. Today there Is at the Junction of the Wil lamette anil Columbia Rivers, the 42nd city of the Union with a Jobbing business of $130,000,000 a year, bank ing power of $i'i,000.000, mercantile capital of ?.7),000,000 and foreign eommereo of $12,000,000. lewis and Clark, it will be remembered fuced starvation many a time and but for dogs, lierries and roots obtained from Indiums must surely have iH-rlshed. In tho very route that they followed may bo found today some of tho world's greatest grain Melds, orchards, fisheries and cattle ranges. The city of Portland, near which Clark 111 WW, was compelled to bluff a few roots from the Indians shlpied in the ten years ended June !!0,1!K)1, over 81,.r0,000 bushels of wheat und .r,:i00,000 barrels of wheat Hour. In Oregon, Washington and Idaho where the skilled hunters of lewis aud Clark 100 years ago could not find meat enough to keep the shadow of famine away from their tents, there nre today over 10,000.000 domestic cuttlo The main purpose of tho exposi tion will Is3 to advertise the re sources and possibilities of the I'a clllc Noathwest with the view of encouraging settlers and investors to come hero from tho East and Mid dle West to make homes and estab lish pew Industries. In a word, the Northwest Itself will lie onexhlbltlon with all Its matchless scenery and Its products of farm, forest, factory and mines. The exposition will not be local or sectional hi any sense. Low railroad rates will bo In effect l)etweeu the East and the West in 1005, which will Insure large and representative attendance. Special ly low rates will prevail In tho Northwest to enable tho visitors to go to other towns and sections of Interest. All who wish to visit any plate" In Oregon for tho purpose of looking up land or Investigating locations (or Industrial plants 110 matter whether It bo In tho remotest section ot tho state will have the privilege of settlers' or Investors' rates. There will thus bo opportuni ties to see the Upper mid Lower Columbia River, Northwestern Ore gon, Tillamook, tho Willamette Vol ley, Southwestern Oreg in, Southern Oregon, nud nil of the statu Vast of tho Cascade mountains. This will iKtoneottho most Important feat ures of the exposition, for tho ex cursions of the Eastern visitors to those parts of Oregon which greatly need development will certainly result hi largo In rouse hi population through settlement and the Invest ment of enormous sums of money la tho state. The appropriation to bo niitdo by tho legislature for tho exposition wilt be expended under the direction of a state commission which will Is' required to submit 11 full report of Its doings to tho legislature, which will meet after tho close of the exposi tion. No part of the money will lie expended In any other way. CHURCH AND SOCIETIES. M it CHURCH.
