(2ff OREGON ROSES ARE SEEN Commissioner Wehmng Gets Ship ment by Express and Sends Bou quets to Other State Buildings. Oregon's Exhibits In Place. (Continued from "First rase.) which the big fair is composed. The last seat in the amphitheater, where the opening exercise will take place, was finished at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and tilth the driving of the last nail the outside work on the exhibition was practically done. .ter that the real work was Inside. Apples in Oregon Building. The Oregon building, first of all the structures to be completed, was a scene of the utmost tffort all day, and when the doors are thrown open tomorrow visitors there will see practically a complete exhibit. Confronting them immediately inside the door will be a pyramid- of Oregon apples towering over 20 feet high, and surmounted with a huge papier-mache apple some three feet in diameter. The apples used in this pyramid were taken out of the cold storage plant in the basement late tonight. where they formed a part of ' a shipment of 30,000 boxes of prime fruit which will be used during the fair to keep the exhibit al ways fresh. At the same time that the busy work men are piling the apples on the wood and wire framework of the pyramid, two express packages of Oregon roses ar rived, and these were put In cut-glass Jars and distributed over the building. After the great hall and the smaller rooms bad been lavishly decorated in this manner It was found that many roses still remained, and the balance was sent to the other state buildings as a greeting from Oregon. The practical demonstra tion that real roses were blooming in Portland In such numbers as to make the huge snlpment possible surprised n-.any Seattleites who had heretofore given credence to the ancient "Califor nia rose" fake. Oregon Roses Are Feature. Oregon roses are going to play an im portant part in Oregon's exhibit at the fair. Arrangements have been made for large shipments at frequent intervals, and when the editors hold their conven tion at the fair later In the Summer, each one is to be given an Oregon "bud" as he visits the building. And inci dentally speaking of Oregon floriculture. Commissioner Wehrung has another Ore Ron Innovation at the fair the grounds of the Oregon building are decorated with plots of brilliant-leaved Oregon grape, a jj:a.ni inai tenas itseir most beautifully to landscaping, though Mr. Wehrung is apparently the first to discover it. Commissioner "Wehrung was a busy man this morning, but while superintend ing the arrangement of the Oregon views in the lecture hall, he found time to say a few words about the fair and Oregon's part In It. "Everything possible In our building," he said, "has been brought from Oregon. The building Itself Is a vast Oregon ex hibit, from the- Oregon timbers in the rafters and cases down to the superb piece of myrtle wood from Coos Bay, us-ed In the panel over the fireplace in the reception hall. I think our grain Beed picture in the dome Is about as fine a piece of work as you will be able to discover, and we are all justly proud of it. Furthermore, we are ready for the opening, with the exception of one OT two minor exhibits. In fact, we are even better off in that respect here than we were at the Lewis and Clark Fair. And. thank goodness, the peanut' stands are all gone. too. I've had about all the fighting I've wanted up here, and I'm ready now to just lay back and tell peo ple about Oregon." Salmon Hatchery Interests. v0lV? f the moat striking exhibits at the Oregon building was in full blast today, the open salmon hatchery. Thousands of eggs of the famous Co lumbia River fish were put in water some weeks ago and now salmon may be seen in all stages of development, rrom still newer eggs, through the fry stage, and up to the full grown king of river fish that lies statuesquellv In the aquarium. The aquarium feature Is a novelty In itself, and will surely attract attention, taking up as it does, all of one end of the Beaver state building. th.er "n,n,t of speciRl mention which will attract attention on open ing day are the eight columns of grain that support the pictorial dome, the heaver." which Is truly a wonder ous beast, and the companion of the three-foot apple on top of the pyra mid and a giant sheep, some 14 feet high, that stands quietly to the left of the doorway and proclaims Oregon as a great woolgrowlng state. Outside of the fair grounds. Seattle is doing Its best to demonstrate Its read iness of the exhibition. The streets are lavishly decorated with flags, bunting and flowers and the streetcars are run ning on crowd schedules. Last Sun day S0.000 people visited the grounds snd swamped the streetcar service, so the training is necessarv. It Is 'ex pected that fully 150.000 people will be at the grounds tomorrow. Hotels Overflowing. The standing room only sign Is hung out at all of the hotels tonight, and enterprising property-owners are rent ing tents like hotcakes on vacant lots. To the credit of Seattle, be it said, that the hotels and most of the restaurants are not raising their prices, but there the credit stops, and even news-stand dealers are tacklnpj on extra nickles and dimes to the price of magazines. The weather for tomorrow promises to be Ideal. Rain, which dampened everyone and lowered spirits in gen eral all yesterday and most of this morning, stopped at noon and by 1 o'clock the sun was out strong, the clouds had cleared away and the Olympics and the great peaks of the Cascades were doing their part in per fecting the vistas of the fair grounds. And so Seattle Is happy and tomorrow will open to the world the fair of all the Northwest. TO SIGNAL FROM EAST ROOM At S oH'lock. Washington Time, Tart Will Open Exposition.

This is to eliminate any chance for favoritism. Prizes this year will also be awarded for merit. A new stock pavilion will be built dur ing the Summer, which will be ready at the time of the opening of the fair. The stock sheds that are now on the grounds have been found too small for the horses that are brought to Canby for the Win ter's training on the racetrack. The stock building will be as large as the exhibit building, which was erected last Summer, and will be large enough to accommodate all the stock that will be brought to the fair. The building will be erected near the exhibit building. The racetrack has proven to be one of the finest half-mile race tracks In the state, and the horsemen who have wintered with horses state that they will return next Winter. The track is in excellent condition. At the opening of the fair last year the track was new, and the sand and dust were bad features, mak ing It impossible for the visitors to get a good view of the races. The new grand stand, recently erected. Is one of the larg est In the state, accommodating about S000 people. It is so situated on the grounds as to give the visitors a good view of the whole racetrack. The struc ture was erected by subscription money raised in 20 minutes by the citizens of Canby. A company was Incorporated, and the money was subscribed the same day. The ground, which Is now owned by the Clackamas County Pair Association, con sists of about 40 acres, and ie an Ideal place for holding fairs. About 1009 shares of stock are still to be 6old at $5 a share, and Secretary Lee wants everybody in the county who is interested in the County of Clackamas to at least take one share of stock.
