OMMEMORATES the one hundredth
anniversary
of the famous and
daring expedition
of the
intrepid explorers,
Lewis and
Clark,
which made
possible
the
acquisition
and
permanent occupation
of
Oregon
and the
magnificent
Golden West. From
May
14,
1804,
until
Sept. 23, 1806,
these bold discoverers wandered over four thousand
miles,
covering
the
grandest
and most wonderful
country
on the face of the
globe,
the natural beauties
and wonders of which are so
graphically
and
exquisitely portrayed
in this
superb
collection of
photographic gems. Washington's
noble harbors and
busy seaports,
miles of wheat fields and
orchards;
the boundless resources of the beautiful
Puget
Sound
country;
Idaho's vast forests
and inexhaustible
mines; Oregon's
matchless
fisheries,
dairies and
unequalled pastures;
Califor-
nia's
magnificent scenery, tropical
and
sub-tropical fruits,
ideal climate and
balmy
air,
are a few
attractive features of the immense domain
acquired
as a result of this famous
expedition.
The
grandeur,
the
sublimity
and the varied
tinting
of Nature's
spectacular Empire
of the
West,
the
mighty cascades,
the
awe-inspiring
canons bathed in
crimson,
emerald and
amber,
the
snow-capped peaks
enthroned amid the
blazing clouds,
are
faithfully reproduced
in this
exquisite
brochure. "No word or
symbol
of man's
devising,
no brush of his
wielding
or colors of his
blending,
can translate what God has here written." A
kingdom
in
itselt,
bounded
by
the
world's
largest body
of
water,
the Golden
Pacific,
a vast
expanse
of valuable timbered
land,
miles of canons and
lofty mountains,
a rich and bountiful
country
for the
home-seeker,
an
empire
that will continue to exist centuries after the
memory
of this beautiful and
inspiring
Exposition
shall have
passed away.

STATUE,
I/YJfX FIGHTIXO COW An
unusually magnificent specimen
of art. One of the foes of the
early
settler
in the Northwest. There are
many species
of the animal,
some of which have been know from time immemorial.
They
are
noted for unusual
sharp-sightness.
The
bay lynx
is the common wild cat of North America. The animal has rather a
short
body
and
tail, long
and
large
limbs and
spotted
or clouded marks. Their
cry
is
peculiarly
hideous and
unearthly.
COLONNADES AND ENTRANCE Administration Restaurant at

There are twelve turnstiles at main
entrance,
fitted with automatic
apparatus
for
registering
number of visitors. Three other entrances have been
provided,
one of
which is devoted to
parties
and launches on the river
making possible
a
trip
from the
city
docks to the
Exposition
by
boat. A
unique
and attractive feature.
STATUE,
BULL, FIGHTIXG I^YSTX The
lynx proved
a constant menace to the
early pioneers
of the Northwest.
They
seized
every
occasion to
prey upon
the settlers' domestic animals, not even
hesitating
to attack the boldest hunters
when
unguarded
or cornered. The Canadian
lynx
is a
larger
animal than the American
species
but
they
all bear a
strong
resemblance to the
cat-family.
