of the territory of Idaho the greater

that you can re td your title clear in
asserting that l!oi.-b was included in

The Dalles Chronicle recently pub
lished the following article on the his
tory of Wasco county, prepared by
Mrs. C. J. Crandall, who is making a
study of the early history of Oregon;
Talk of again dividing Wasco county
causes one to ask how large was the
original old Wasco, veil called the
Mother ot Counties? Fitly tine years
ttgo, the 1 It ti day of January, iN.11. the
territorial legi.-latttm created Wn-co
county, consisting of all the territory
of Oregon east of the Cascade range.

the patronage of Die United States
government west ot the Rocky moun
tains, will celebiuto the lnuth annher
sury of the exploration of the Oregon
country by an expedition commanded
by Captains Mcrriwothor Louis and
William Clark, and planned by Presi
dent Jellerson. The sentimi nl which
inspires the people of the Pacific
northwest in the preparation of this
exposition is one in which every
American must shine. The result ol
this expedition, the acquisition of
the great Oregon country by right of
of discovery, extended our frontier to
the Pacific ocean, adding a vast and
I rich torriorv to our domain. It was
one of the direct causes of the acqui
sition of California and tho subsequ
ent acquisitions of Alaska, Hawaii,
Guam, and the Philippines are relat
ed to it.
The beauty of the exposition site
and the superb view to bo had from
I it, coupled w ith Ihe artistic grace of
the building m the style ol the Span
ish leiiaissance, will be tin agreeable
surprise to all thuiors. Netting at
the base of the foothill of the Cas
cade range, on the gentle slopes and
turrace overlooking the Willamette
river, with an unobstructed view of
0.) mile which embrace the snow
capped peaks of Mount Hood and
1 Mount St. Helens, the site present a
I picture entirely original in expos
ition buildings.
I Of the gross area of the site 1H0
: acres are ou the main laud and 110
j acres, forming a peninsula extending
out Into Guild's lake, a fresh body of
water 'AW acres in extent and the larg
est mere ever enclosed within an ex
position fence, which is separated
from the Willamette river by a nar
row strip of laud. The exposition
grounds are made up of hill and dale,
and in one portou a natural park of
trees and snrubs affords an oppor
tunity for landscape work of a most
attractive character. In the arrange
ment of the buildings thorough cou
sideraton has been given to the con
venience of the visitors ami the at
tainment of a rich aud beautiful
architectural effect. The niaiti group
of exhibit palaces consisting of eight
structure occupies tho ground border
ing ou the lake, aud forms marly a
straight line with their short sides fac
ing the water. Around theso struc
ture ou the outer edge cluster the
state, territorial and other minor pa
vilion. The administration building
in w hich the executive ofticeH of the
fair are located, stands at one end of
the ornate colouade entrance, the
main gateway to the grounds.
On the j ou insula in the center of
Guild's lake is located the United
States governmental display. Here
an imposing govern tnent building
w ith towers each 260 feet high, is in
course of construction, beside tho
main building there are several minor
structure, among them tho forestry,
fisheries, and irrigation pavilions and
the life saving station.
All the main exposition structure
are in the tyle of the Spanish renais
sance except the forestry building
which is a true Americeu type, being
constructed of hugo legs in their vir
gin state, thug exemplyfying in its
composition the tinil cr resources of
the Columbia river region. The struc
ture is 200 feet in length by UK! feet
in width and its extreme height i id

live and six foot fir logs eight miles of
poles and tons of shakes and cedi r
shingles. The central llgtire of the ex

made the opject of elaborate embel
lishment. The former is situated be
tween the agricultural and the Euro
pean exhibits buildings ami consists
of two wide avenues, between which
are spacious sunken gardens. Lake-
view terrace is located on tho sloping
ground leading to the lake and here is
the grand stairway, Hanked ou either
side with flower beds and beautiful
lawns. Tho "Trail," which i tho
gaity boulevard of the centennial, cor
responding to tho riko at Ht. Lotus,
and tho midways of other expositions,
ha an entirely original environment
for this feature ola world' fair. It is
situated upon an ornate bridgo, wdiit h
spans the lake and connects the main
land with the peninsula. With the un
rivaled water facilities thus attorded
much attention will lie directed to
concessions for aquatic features.
Tlie railroads tiave made exception
