board of managers of ths Bt Louis ex
position, has returned to Portland for
a stay of two weeke, after which she
will return to her duties st St Louis.
Mrs. Montgomery says ths Bt Louis
fair Is by far ths greatest exposition
that haa aver been held, when its at
tractive features are taken Into con
sideration, but from; a financial stand
point it is not up to expectations. The
average dally attendance Is far below
that anticipated.
"While ths Oregon exhibit renre-
sentlng all ths Industries of this state."
said Mrs. Montgomery, "is very credit
able, and Is attracting . wide attention,
ths state building In not what It might
be. Viewed from th exterior It Is very
unique and Interesting, and la greatly
admired. In the Interior, however, there
is nothing st all to attraot people.
There are but a few chairs and a table
and- couch. If there were some bear
skins or fins fur rugs and stuffed ani
mate or mounted elk antlers, or any
thing suggestive of th early days of
this state, which would be in keeping
with th building sid Its surrounding
stockade it would bo far mora attrac
tive. "Th entire coast Is well represented
at tha fair, and each of the states has
a splendid building, particularly Wash
ington. Every stats In the Union Is
represented by a state building, with
the exception of Colorado and Florida,
nd there are nine mors foreign coun
tries with exhibits at ths fair than
war at Chicago in 1818. England, Ger
manv and Franc have particularly fine
building and exhTBlta.
There are so msny interesting things
about the fair that it Is difficult to say
hlch la ths most attractive. It Is
well worth tha Ulft to get a ftt

circle 848 feet deep from tha present
officers' line. The new buildings will
oonslat of It double sets of officers'
quarters, six quarters for field, Officers
and one for the command lna officer.
The plans for the buildings, including
water, sewerage and streets. . call. lor an
expenditure of $600,000. Four double
sets of infantry barracks, an administra
tion building and band barracks are also
a part of the propoaed plans. It is also
stated ..that new quartermasters' store
bouses ars badly needed as sre also two
artillery stablea of 810 feet length.
It Is stated that at leaat $1,040,000 is
needed to carry out the plane as pro
posed. The officers' quarters' are ths
most necessary and will be 'the next
work' to - command attention. At the
present time, however, there are insuf
ficient funds at the disposal of the post
to complete the work snd General Chaf
fee has said that he will not permit the
wbrk to begin until there sre enough
funds In sight to complete ths improve
ments.
- Ths government ma' be asked for a
special appropriation of $760,000 or $1,
000,000 with whloh to complete the work
called for in the plans and It Le under
stood that such an effort will Te msds

At ths present time thsrs ars II com
panies, comprising . ths entire Nine
teenth U. 8. infantry. and two companies
of field artillery la camp. Tha forces
of -tho Department of the Columbia are
gradually being assigned to headquarters
at the post This is Bus to the fact that
the Isolated posta In Idaho, and eastern
Oregon and Washington are being elim
inated and the companies being called In
where they may havs th advantage of
better headquarters and at ths sams
time will be able to participate in the
battalion : or regimental - manauvera - of
the camp. The concentration of the
troops at the barracks also eliminates
much of tha exnense.
Vancouver Poet is ths oldest post on
the Pacific coast, being on the site of
ths old Hudson Bay company head
quarters. Recently while excavating for
the foundation of th gymnasium build
ing, skeletons of men burled many years
ago ware unearthed, showing tha-location
of tha old burying ground of ths
post. . :
With ths completion of the work now
planned the Vancouver Barracks will in
crease in Importance and while they are
now the greatest military headquarters
In ths northwest they will In time be

aeciaes to accept the offer, he says, hs
will erect a building that will cost

hs also stated that two additional
stories ahould be added to th Dekura

"Col. H. E. Doech is doing excellent
work in St Louis In ths interests of
th Lewis snd Clark exposition. Alone
be is unable to do all that la neces
sary, however, and should have a capa
ble assistant If proper methods are
ueed many, of the finest and most at
tractive exhibits at St Louis may be
secured for the Lewis snd Clark expo
sition, and I understand that Colonel
Dosch has been meeting with excellent
success in hie endeavors to get them.'
I believe the coming exposition In this
city can be made a great success as far
as Its attractiveness I concerned, but
whether we will be able to bring tha
people to this -city is the moat difficult
question Just now that wa hav to con
