Mrs. E. Weatherred is a bright woman
of Oregon, whose unique business it is
to represent her state, as commissioner,
at expositions. She has made a cartful
study of the wonderful resources of her
state, its agricultural and mineral wealth,
industries, etc., with the object in view
of officially exploiting the information In
the Interest of the state at national and
international fairs and expositions.
Mgs. Weatherred was a commissioner
on the general board of the Pan-Ameri
can exposition, and all her pr-»scnt time
is now taken up at the world's fair in
St. Louis, where she is representing her
state. Later on her duties will be cen
tered with the Lewis and Clark centen
nial exposition, which will be held in
Portland, Oreg.. in 1905.
in an interview regarding the coming
I.ewis and Clark centennial and Amer
ican Pacific exposition, she said:
“Portland, Oreg.. is fairly in the swim
of expositions in the future, and is mak
ing great preparations for one to be held
in 1905 At that time the northwest
will celebrate tho 100th anniversary of
the Lewis and Clark expedition to the
Pacific. These noted explorers were sent
out by Thomas Jefferson to examine the
soil and in a general way learn of the
vast country told by the Indians to be
situated west of the Rocky mountains.
In ISC4 Captain Meriwether Lewis and
Captain "Willis Clark left St. Louis with
a company of forty-three men for their
Jong and perilous journey. After thrill
ing encounters with Indians and wild
beasts, storms, cold and hunger, they
