The Fire Department at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is
now practicing daily, and making
tests of water pressure. The de
partment has a fully equipped
station and is able to cope with
any blaze.
Hundreds of carloads of exhib
its for the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition have already arrived and
more come every day. The cars
are brought into the grounds by
way of a spur and are unloaded,
the contents being stored in the
finished exhibits palaces.
The electrical display at the
Lewis and Clark Centennial will
be one of the most unique and at
tractive ever planned for a like
enterprise. No expense has been
spared oo make this feature most
attractive.
Ornate stall' work now in
process on the Bridge of Nations
at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, will give the structure the
appearance of an arched stone
bridge of the most beautiful de
sign. The bridge is over 2,000
feet long, connecting the main
land to the Government Peninsu
la.
Several concessions have been
let at the Lewis and Clark Cen
tennial -vV'jfft requires consider
ably more space than the original
plans for the “Trail” would per
mit. The Amusement Street will
have to be enlarged so as to pro
vide several thousand square feet
of additional space.
Several hundred Burlington,
(la.) people are planning to visit
the Lewis and Clark Exposition
in July, in order to be present at
the sessions of the American Li
brarian’s annual meeting, which
will be held in Portland from
July 2 to 7.
The railroad companies have
extended the time limit for the
shipping of exhibits from bt.
Louis to Portland until the latter
part of March. This will serve
materially to better the appear
ance of the exhibits for the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, as it will
aiford exhibitors more time in
which to assemble and pack them.
The Union Pacific railroad is
soon to issue an attractive folder
regarding the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, which will be dis
tributed widely throughout the
east and middle west. Several
other roads have issued, or will
issue, similar pamphlets.

of
Change May Be Made.
The Reporter is in receipt of a
letter from Congressman Adam
son, enclosing a communication
from the Acting Fourth Assistant
Post Master-General, relative to
the proposed hand-to-hand ex
change at Houston between rural
carriers Nos 5 from both La-
Grange and Franklin, and slight
changes in these routes.
The Reporter wrote to Mr. Adam-
som some time go, and requested
that lie interest himself in the
matter of a change, and advising
him of inadequate mail facilities
of the people of that section of
the country, when by a slight
change in routes the same patrons
would be served, and a delay of
often several days in the delivery
of mail would be avoided. Judge
Adamson called on the Depart
ment, and requested that an in
vestigation of the matter be taken
up. In a letter to The Reporter
he stated when he had these
routes established it was his pur
pose to give the people a daily
mail from LaGrauge, and he did
not know that this was not being
done until we wrote him.
The letter to Judge Adamson
dated from Washington March
13th, is as follows:
Hon. W. C. Adumson,
House # of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.
Sir:
Again referring to the pro
posed hand-to-hand exchange at
Houston, Ga., between rural car
riers of LaGrauge and Franklin,
in connection with which matter
you have personally visited the
Department, you are advised that
it will be found necessary to have
this matter investigated by an
agent of the Department. It was
hoped that orders for the changes
in the routes might be issued in
time to take effect March loth,
] but in view of the fact that the
margin of time allowed each car-
1 rier to wait at the Houston Post
I Office, and still return in time
i for his dispatch is so slight, a
personal investigation was thought
necessary. Tne investigation has
been made SPECIAL, and a re
port is expected at an early date.
Very respectfully,
C. A CONNARD,
Actg. 4th Asst. Post Master Gen’l.
From what The Reporter can
j learn it would seem that the mat-
I ter is considered favorably by the
^Department, and that something
^ will be done to give a better mail
! service out from LaGrauge to the
I patrons along the routes named.
As The Reporter understands
1 it, not only will there be a direct
J mail from LaGrauge to Houston
| and to Franklin, but the carrier
| at the latter place will probably
j arrive at Franklin on his return
trip in time to connect with the
I star carrier between Franklin and
Hogansville, thus making it pos
sible to send mail around by
Houston, and Franklin to Ho-
gansville in one day, and giving
the people along the entire route
a splendid service. This is even
better than was asked for, and
goes to show the admirable work
of Congressman Adamson. The
Reporter has talked with a num
ber from Houston and vicinity
and all are elated to think that
the changes will probably be
made.

TREES BEAR MARKS
Of EXPLORERS.
Interesting Relics of l ewis and Chirk
exposition Discovered Will Be Ex-
Pjbilcd at Western World's fair.
Portland These trees bear
ing marks presumed to have been
made by members of the Lewis
and Clark party, which crossed
the continent near Pendleton,
Oregon, nnd will he exhibited at
t ile Lewis and Clark Exposition,
which will lie held in Portland
next summer.
The tree to which the greatest
interest is attached is a quaking
asp fifteen inches in diameter.
The words “Lewis and Clark” are
cut into the trunk, the inscription
extending vertically tho length of
the tree. Tiny were evidently cut
into the tree when it was a sap
ling, too small for the letters to
be cut around the tree. So close
were the cuts that the “and”
joins with the “w” in Lewis and
the “a” in Clark. Below are the
figures 1 ISOi-Oo.” The misspell
ing of the name “I o e ” is ac
counted for by the assertion that
the inscription may have been
made, not by one of tho leaders,
hut by some member of the party.
Phis, is borne out by the fact that
the tree does not stand on the
.‘xaet path of the explorers. It is
thought that hunters, sent out by
the leaders in search of game,
strayed a considerable distance
from the trail and out the in
scriptions.
One of the other trees bears an
arrow, pointing upward, a turkey
track pointing west, and another
queer hieroglyphic, whose mean
ing lias not been fathomed. The
third tree bears a carving of an
Indian's head, nnd inscribed un
derneath it the words, “Ute In
dian.”
While the authenticity of the
marks cannot ho positively prov-
d, historians believe that they
are genuine, and the three trees
will doubtless attract great inter
est at the Exposition.

Deafness Cannot lie Cured
by local applications, as they can
not reach, the diseased portion of
the ear. There is only one wuy to
cure Deafness, and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube
gets inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect heariug, and
when it is entirely closed Deaf
ness is the result,and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will he destroy
ed forever; nine cnees out of ten
are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of tli« mucous surfaces.

Let us illustrate vividly the difference in mean
ing of the words might and will—the child might
live ; the child will live. Might implies doubt; will
means certainly. Might live means might die;
will live means will not die.
These two words aptly illustrate tho difference
between Johnson’s Tonic and tho horde of commer
cial remedies on the market, and that vast horde of
inert professional remedies which only bear the
sanction of the High Priests of medicine.
USE JOHNSON'S TONIC
in a bad case of Grip and you will live I
Use inert, or commercial products, and
you might live.
Johnson’s Tonic quickly drives out every trace
and taint of Grip.' It is not simply good, it is su
premely good—not good as anything, but better than
everything—a genuine life-saver. Those who believe
in it are safe—doubters are in danger and jeopardize
their lives. Summed up, Johnson’s Chill and Fever
Tonic is the best Grip medicine on earth. This is
the sober, serious, earnest truth.
