LEWIS AND CLARK CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION

AND THE GOLDEN WEST

Opening at Portland, Oregon, June i, 1905. Closing Oct. ijj,

Area, 405 acres. Cost, $7,500,000.

T^OMMEMORATES the one hundredth anniversary of the famous and daring expeditionof 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 andorchards; 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 fewattractive 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 exquisitebrochure. "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. THE PUBLISHERS
