PKF.MIVM ESSAY BY MISS SOPHIA RABH1NOV1TZ. Wus Krhx-u-d as Somewhat tltc Best Anions Seventy DoHcriptlve letters Submitted by Students of St. Jos eph' Academy, Pendleton Pendle ton Academy Will He tlie Next In stitution to Respond to Supt. Welles' Request. County School Superintendent F. K. Welle lias received the first return from i - cent request to the teach ers to their pupils write letters to their friends in the East telling them of the advantages of Oregon and of Its matchless resources. St. Joseph's academy Is the first to re spond. The .Pendleton academy also took up the plan of writing letters on December 20. At St. Joseph's academy 70 letters were rent to friends of the pupils re siding in the East. Of the 70 one of the bvst was selected and sent to Superintendent Welles. Ab it Is the first response to come in from his re quest, we take pleasure In reproduc ing It herewith, and In commending to the consideration of all those who have friends In the East this, plun of personal communication. It - would not be a bad idea to take this copy of t the EaBt Oregonian and mark the article and send it to some Eastern acquaintance or friend: St. Joseph's Academy. Pendleton, Ore.. Dec. 30. 1004. iliss Edna Swartx. ew York, N. Y. Dear Friend: Now that the time Is upproaching for the opening of the great Lewis nnd Clark fair, it affords a grand opportunity for the people of the East to visit our state. Those who come will soon be convinced that Oregon is one of the most pro gressive states of the Union, and thoroughly up-to-dute In every particular. We. the people of Oregon, (and in fact, all the people of the ITuinn). owe thanks for this beautiful place to three men: President Thomas Jef ferson. Mr. Meriwether Lewis and Mr. William Clark. President Jefferson. before his -administration, proposed an exploration of the land beyond the i Missouri for an overland pusmige to j the Tacl'Ic ocean. This proposition, known as his "pet plan." was made ! little of until 11 years later. When, at last. It was decided to make tile ex ploration. Mr. Meriwether Lewis, cap tain of the I. K. army, was, on ac count of his flrmnes of purpose and undaunted courage, chosen to take charge of the exploring party. Lieut. William Clark of the V. S. urmy. was nppointed captain, and with about a dozen men. and plenty of provisions, the two explorers set nut on their journey. They embni-ked on May 14. 1804. After a perilous Journey they leuched what Is now Oregon. In the latter part of August, 1805. The scene which here met their gaae was a magnificent stretch of primeval wilderness. Great herds oi' bison and horses were seen, tearing across the prairies. The rivers teem ed with fish and there were all man ner of wild fowl In abundance. About three months later the explorers j reached that which they sought the Pacific coast. There was n great dis pute as to the ownership of the Ore gon territory and the United States: claimed it by right of exploration. , It j Is not known from what our slate re- : celved Its name, but various opinions' are given. One hundred years ago nregon could truly be spoken of ns the "wild ' West." There were great forests of j pine. fir. spruce, alder, .eoltonwood. oak and maple; broad expanses of rich prairie land; much wild game and fish; and every convenience for prospering towns, yet no civilized peo- t pic to make use of these gifts of Providence. The Indiana, as wild as the country' itself, were certainly well suited to their forest home; hut It lay In the hands of the white man to make our state what it is today. Its cities and towns are coming rapidly Into prominence and trans-1 continental railroads connect them with' the largest cities of the Union Schools and churches are to be found in all parts of the state. ' Our beauti ful homes are unsurpassed; especially the country homes. Leaving the noise and tumult of the city and its Impure atmosphere, one finds relief In the fresh. Invigorating air of the country. It Is true we have very few hospitals, as compared to (he eastern states. The few we have are first-class, but our best and' grandest hospituls are the woods, the fields and the' fresh air. The industries, too, are making great strides In the field of progress. The principal industries of the state are wheat, fruit and sheep raising, and salmon fishing. Many an In dustrious farmer has become wealthy by raising wheat on our extensive plains. There is mild weather, fertile toll, good Irrigation, and everything that Is necessary for a good crop. Our mild winter is due to the warm wind, or "Chinook," which passes over the Japan current and blows in land. The great Columbia river, not ed for Its salmon fisheries. Is one of the most picturesque features of the state. No artificial scenery of the East can be compared to the beauti ful pictures which Nature has painted on either side of this river and Its branches Another beauty ia the snow-capped mountains that can be seen from any part of the state. These mountains afford us healthful sum mer resorts. There Is still much good lnnd here that needs Improvement, and we extend an invitation to all our friends In the East to come and make their homes in our beautiful country. The Lewis and Clark centennial Is to be held In Portland, the metropolis of the state. The exhibit grounds are at the north end of the city, on the Willamette river. Not only the ex hibition grounds, but the city of Port laud Itself, has many attractions to the visitor, us has also the surround ing country. The fair begins June 1 and closes October 15. We wish you and all your friends to be here' and we promise you a pleasant visit Under separate cover 1 am sending you a map of Oregon, Washington and Northern Idaho; and an illustrat ed book describing these states; also pamphlets describing the fair and grounds. Hoping to see you here, I remain Your sincere friend, s SOPHIE RABINNOVTTZ. t Mil . .MM MM II V "" Watches. HOTEL ARRIVALS. Hotel St- George. R. Gerber, Seattle. Robert Brooks. Seutttle. A. C. Huley.
