While not officially considered a World's Fair by the Bureau of International Expositions, it is often informally described as such; the exposition attracted both exhibits and visitors from around the world. During the exposition's four-month run, it attracted over 1.6 million visitors, and featured exhibits from 21 countries. Portland grew from 161,000 to 270,000 residents between 1905 and 1910, a spurt that has been attributed to the exposition.; Rustic (European style) Title: Forestry Building, Lewis and Clark Centennial American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair (Portland, Oregon); Lewis and Clark Centennial American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair (Portland, Oregon) Author: Whidden & Lewis; Doyle, Albert E.; Whidden, William, 1857-1929; Lewis, Ion, 1853-1933 Year: 1905 The Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposition, commonly also known as the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and officially known as the Lewis and Clark Centennial and American Pacific Exposition and Oriental Fair, was a worldwide exposition held in Portland, Oregon, United States in 1905 to celebrate the centennial of the Lewis and Clark Expedition.

	Citation Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Scene In Chaco Year: 1915 So well wooded are certain areas that the forests of the 'Gran Chaco' are said to contain sixty thousand square miles of timber. The forest-woods include the quebracho, the nundubay (acacia) lapacho (bignonia, red and white cedar, amarillo (mimosa) the palm-tree introduced by the Jesuits, poplar, willow, walnut, and the celebrated yerba mate, whose leaves make a stimulating tea. The valuable quebracho (break-axe) takes a hundred years to arrive at maturity. It is largely used in the making of railway sleepers, etc., and also provides an export trade of about a quarter of a million tons annually, mainly for tanning purposes. This wood bears so strong a resemblance to red marble that it is a difficult matter to distinguish between the two. The 'Gran Chaco', the northern division of the country, is singularly interesting. It is the home of the native Indian tribes, and, in sharp contrast to the Mendozan area, its climate is tropical. Its fauna include the jaguar, the puma, wildcate, fox, tapir, many varieties of deer, and the alligator. The north is marshy, the south covered with dense forests. The capital of the Chaco is Resistencia.

	Citation Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Standing timber in Oregon Year: 1900 This slide made several years ago shows that at that time there were 496,048,000,000 feet of standing timber. Today there are but a little over 400,000,000 feet of timber left standing. You will note that the slide calls attention to the fact that it would take 400 years for 40 sawmills each sawing 100,000 feet of timber a day to cut this timber and a plea is made for reforestation. In Oregon approximately 5000 acres of young trees are planted each year. New trees will grow from old ones, the same as any other plant providing enough old trees are left on the ground. Aside from limiting the number of trees to be cut down the problem of replanting burned areas is large. The U. S. Dept. of Forestry maintains a station at Stevenson, Wash. where 3,500,000 young trees are grown for this district. In Switzerland there must be a tree planted for every tree cut down. Such a program here would insure a perpetual supply of timber.
