A there appears to be indication that all the counties in the First Congressional District will have a favored son to nominate at the next convention, it will be in order for the Headlight to" nominate B. L. Eddy so that Tillamook county can b represented in the grand political shuffle for congressional honors. If Harris was the speaker of th last house, and obtained that honor by the courtesy of the gentle man from Tillamook Mr. Eddy was recognized th leader on the floor of th house during th last two state legislatures, an honor which ba ob tained by his own ability and fore of cbaractfcr, and which entitles him to the congressional honors if the conevotion makes any change ia congressman. . Eyery county in th district is fully aware of tbie, and th Eugene Register roust not loose sight of this fact. If it U look ing for a young and energetic re publican with Koosevelt's traits of character to represent th First Congressional District in congress, then Mr. Eddy Is the man that tbe congressional toga should fall on. Tillamook Headlight. 8ACAJAVEA8 FAME. Work of Lewis and Clark's Guide Jtccog-nlzed by California aud Oreg;ou Com mend ' ed for Honoring Her. ' (SAM FRANCIHOO CHKoMCLE.) Now that the Lewie and Clark Exposition at Poitland, Ore., next year has been assured through the Congressional appropriations that has been made for it, popular in terests will doubtless be aroused in the story of the expedition and in those who contribute materially to its success. The iatrepid explores who headed the memorable expe dition which added tbe territory now represented in the States of Oregon, Washigton. Idaho, Mon tana and the two Dakota to the United States, would have doubt less failed in their enterprise bad It not been for tbe timely assistance they received from Sacajawea, a Shoshone girl of 16, held captive in Mandans' winter camp, where Lewie and Clark quartered. 8he was the slave wife of a French half-breed interpreter, and iu grati tude for th services th explorers rendered 16 her in childbirth, she accompanied the expedition west ward as a guide. " She pacified the unfriendly Shoshones, obtained food and horses when : the expedi tion reached the "Gales of the Mountains" aud had to abandon the canoea, smoothed the way through tbe territory occupied by the Flatheads and the Nez Perces, and, after spending the winter with the party at the mouth of the Columbia, piloted it 6afely back on the return trip. The women of the six Stales named have organ ized a Sacajawea Statue Association to erect a suitable memorial at the centennial exposition grounds, com memorating her services to the ex pedition and to the Nation. It is to take the form of a statue, to cost IGOOO. Miss Alice Cooper of Colorado has been chosen as the sculptor. The project is undoubt edly .a commendable one. Tt is about the only way the present generation can pay a fitting tribute to a heroine who figured so con sniciously in early Western history and performed services to the country of incalculable value, ine association ought to ha7e no trouble in raiking funds.

It is related tnat a oanuac coun ty (Mich.) farmer who had been missing apples from his cellar made a startling discovery of the thief the other day. While crawl ing under the barn after a hen's neet containing a fortune of eggs the farmer came on a small pool of liquid, beside which lay the dead body .of a large rat. On investiga tion the farmer discovered that the pool contained the missing apples. The rat, it was found, had died of acute alcoholism. After stealing the apples the rat had dropped them in the spring under the barn. As they decomposed they formed strong cider. The rat drank the cider and died, so it is alleged, of delirium tremens. fTISAHATTEROFHfAIIH AbMtslrEferOr 7An P
