THE CENTENNIAL EXHIBIHON.
Letter from Hon. A- J. Dufur. ,
Piiii.ADr.Lt'itiA, April 30, 187(.
En. Fahmuu: Tho work or prcrara
tion for tho gwut Ct'iitenni,il Exhibi
tion is iirogrosM'np rnpidlj, tmtl e.K-li
State, nation, anil privato exhibition is,
straining every nerve to bo roatly for
tho jrranil opening ceremonies which
are to take place on the lOtli of May.
I have succeeded in trotting the
stand, counters, and shelves erected
for OregonN exhibit, and one coat of
paint applied. Hope to have every
thing arranged in time for the dedica
tion. Tho gooiN from Oregon City
Woolen Mills have not yet arrived,
neither has tho mnp of our State; but
I hope to receive them iu good time.
If our people could only see tho Im
mense outlay and gig.uitiu etTorts Aus
tralia, ('antula, British Columbia aud
other localities are making to display
their coal, cereals, and mineral re
sources with it view to induce capital
and immigration to their several
States, Oregon would have been rep
resented in natural material far In ex
cess of any other Stale iu the Union,
for we have got it within our borders,
and tho weak effort and meager dis
play I shall bo able to nidko will dem
onstrate tho fact to the most skeptical
Oregonian .should ho be fortunate
euough tovbit Agricultural Hall. Wo
httvo had a lively content in tho selec
tion of' our International Jurors, the
appointments being made on, the basis
ol tho number of exhibits made from
ettcl) State. This would luvo glvem
our Sltate one twenty-fourth part of one
juryman. JJut by dint of continued
eifort in favor of the groat agricultural
interests to bo served iti this grand
show, I have- succeeded in procuring
tho appointment of a juryman from
our State, Hon James Hnieo, in the fol
gioup and classes:
Group 2:1(1. Agiicultur.il machines,
implement) of agriculture, horticul
Hue ami gaidening. This group con
tains within its limits thirty-six ciassi-
uViilioiis, and conipri-es every kind of
appliance of mcchaiii-m iu agriculture,
from a gulden rake to it steam plow,
and from a reaping ho.k to n combined
i caper, mower, header, and threshing
machine.
The importance of correct decisions
iu this group and its classifications, can
haidly be ovi-r-ostlinalod by ngiieultu
rlsts generally, and especially by the
farmers of our own State who are com
pelled to use foreii'ti m imifuctuics, und
in many instances jmy two prices for an
article of iufeifor worth. H strikes
me that lroni the clo-o of this Exhllii
tion, the inteicsts of agiiculture irftist
P'ceivo it new impetus by a comparison
ol its piodticts, nud an interchange of
views lelatlve to tho applic.itian of ma
chinery lo the tiling.' of the soil. And
.still there is something wo are scarcely
able to explain, and the thought is al
most humiliating, that, while agiicul
ture undoilles the pioperlty of every
other industry iu our country, mill over
thirteen minions oi our people are en
gaged iu its avocations, still out of
twenty-eight groups and neiiilyatliou
hand classifications, we tlud not over
one twentieth of them all d needy
bearing upon tho interests of agricul
ture.
That this great nation, tl inteiest
should bo over-sloughed by the pro
ducts of art, science, mechanics, and
skilled labor, is no fault of the gentle
men composing this commission for in
these several departments the artist,
inventor, aud skilled mechanic, have
done no more than Justice to the noble
ness iu their calling; but the farmer,

proved, I can only say, "they would
have it so." Do not let ine bo under
stood, fellow farmers, as wishing to
convey tho slightest idea that tho agri
cultural department of this Exhibition
is it failure. No, nofin tho least! but
it falls so far short of what its great In
terests demand, that these thoughts
and feelings will intrude thomselvcs.

The Way Surveying Contracts are Ob
tained in Oregon.
Washington-, April 21. Tho testl;
monyoi'D. P. Thompson, Governor of
Idaho, leaves no doubt us to tho part
ex-AUornov General Williams played
in helping .1. J. Hoffman, his friend
nnd former partner, to levy tolls on
Oregon surveying contracts. Hoffman
was ifot n surveyor und had no right to
havo anything to do with government
surveys or to bo the beneticiary of nueh
contracts, but he Was n friond of Wil
liams' and Williams wanted to put
monoy in ids, Hoffman's, pocket. The
mutter was arranged in this wise: One
Meldrum was a Hurveyor, and to him
was awarded, upon Williams' Influence
two contracts, worth 10,0(Mi, for which
award It was stipulated before hand
that Hoffman was to havo S2.0II0 ns n,
bonus. Williams, after tho contracts
was made, actually advanced $1,500 or
fl',000,' and then used his influence to
procure tho contracts. The bargain
wMdated 1 July, 1872, at Portland,
Oregon. Thompson swears as followst
'Th6 contract that Williams signed
was that, if the Surveyor General df
Oregon ,wVld give'two surveying con
tracts of $Si,W) each, 'feustoMhn Ojs
cado-, to cerfqln parties who might be
designated, he-would advance on his
return to Washington, on my order,
drawn on E. te O. E. TJIton, of New
York, a certain amount of money,
about Sl,f)0U or 1,(100, and on the com
pletion of these surveys tho money
was to he relunded to Wi'li'iuis by the
parlies: and tho agreement was signed
by Williams, Meldrum and myself, and
possibility Hoffman. This is the sub
stance of tho contract.
