If the referendum law is applied
to the appropriation net for the
Lewis nnd Chuk exposition, there
is not very much dungcr of its be

fools funning around loose in Ore
gon than n person would imagine;
nndthc smnll number of votes Mint

project a black eye to a certain ex
tent The Lewis nnd Clark expo
sition will be the big event of Ore
yon's history for many years to
come, and it will build up and ad
vertise the resources of the state as
nothing else could. It will have to
be, a co-operative business invest
ment for the citizens of Oregon. mid
Is something that every man, wom
an and child enn help along.
There is a bunch of soreheads in
most of the smaller towns who think
that the exposition is a graft fee
the sole benefit of Portland. They
do not stop to consider that Port
land is the logical place for an event
of this kind. It is our mctropolkf
and is the terminus of four trans
continental railroad lines, to sa
nothing of the transportation ad
vantages offered by the Columbia
river.
The only objection we can see in
the whole affair is the site chosen.
On a hot summer day in x 905.wl.cn
the cast wind blows, the exposition
will get the full benefit of the ma
larial, sewage-laden air from
flock's bottom and the Willamette
nvcrj which will contain all the
drainage of Portland and her 125,
000 people at this point. A north
wind will bring in the perfumed nit
from the city crematory, the manure-covered
Chinese gardens, and
the horse cannery, while the south
and west winds will carry all the
sounds nnd smells of a great city.
We trust that the crematories,
glue factories, etc., will be closed
down during President Roosevelt's
visit to the fair grounds.

the uttermost heads of the river, as
the falls above here are simply a
series of cascades which could eas

would open the finest atronui on the
coast to the salmon, and although
it may be a menace to the trout, it
will more than compensate by add
ing iiuothcr breading ground to the
great salmon industry of the state.
The fishways should bo easily

The matter of civic improvement
is taking a great deal more atten

our fathers were young, nnd in all
the large cities Civic Improvement
clubs are formed, having for their
object the beautifying of the streets
and buildings, the establishment of
a park system, and the introduction

It seems strange that a newspaper
of such undoubted high standing
and reputation as the Oregoniun
would allow its editorial columns to

ticle on the descendants of Alexan
der Hamilton which appeared in the
issue of March 28th. ' It is just
such needlessly published talas as
this which cause people to doubt
, that our great men were great. Ifc
it not much better to have the young
and growing generation read of the
good tlie.se men brought to their
country than to hear of some half
cooked tale of intrigue and wrong
doing in which they were involved?
The Oregoniau has a great influence
over the thought uud opinion of the
people of the Northwest, and instead
of disseminating tides of this nature
it had better return to its good hab
its of forceful editorials upon cur
rent events and public needs.
We would call the attention of
the state fisheries commission, or
whoever has charge of such mat
ters,, to the condition of the Des
chutes river, as far as the propaga
tion of salmon is concerned. Dur
ing the season great quantities of
salmon run up the river and all its
branches, but they are stopped
nbout thirty miles' below Bend by a
thirty-footfall. The state should

Kcnd will grow up in the virgin
forest, and it would be a fine thing
to pick upon a suitable location
kioiit now for a permanent public
park, so that when we grow up and
become a large-sized spot on the
map we can invite distinguished
visitors to our beautiful little city
nd pointy with pride tOjOurpnrk
system anu streets.
We can take Portland ns n good
example of a very batlly planned
town. The city authorities there
have about twice as many streets to
look after ns there should be for
general convenience and comfprt.
The streets arc very narrow, and so
many more than necessary that
there is not money enough to kep
them clean and in repair. The few
main streets which are supposed to
be good arc a disgrace to the town,
but they nrc all omuch better than
the side streets that the Portlanders
do not complain.
Now is the time for the Haulers
to get in nnd pick out the pnrk site.
We don't need it now, because the,
country is all park; Jjut in a few
years from now we in our old age
will be very thankful that we had
foresight enough to plan a pleasant
place in which to spend a Sunday
afternoon with our grandchildren,
and we will lmvc good cause to in
troduce an ordinance in the liend
city council providing that our
names be inscribed on the walls of
the Bend hall of fame in large, bold
characters.
Let the board of trade take hold
of this matter.

That was a brilliant stroke of di

limits ou the west reduced so ns to

bridge. The last legislature passed

bridge. There is one feature, just
as expensive, though, that they al

they forgot to contract their area so
as to exclude the other bridge.
That one was an old bridge iu the

We understand Jjmt the Crook

the government allowed all that wa
