During the St Louis fair last
j ear, the exhibits of the state of
Oregon has opened the eyes nf
the other states in our Union,
as well as the other nations of
the world, in regard to the won
derful resources and capabilities
of our great state. Not only has
it been demonstrated to tbe
world that our production in
minerals and ores, in quantity
and quality, are second to none,
but we have shown that our vast
forests of timber are unsurpass
ed and our lumber of the best
mialitv obtainable anv where in
the world is shipped to all points
of the compass, to many sister
states and to many foreign na
tions. Our cerials are the very
best that mother earth produces
and now .demands the highest
price in tbe market places of .the
world. But above all things in
which Oregon has stood head
and shoulders above the west, is
in the fruit exhibit at the St
Louis Fair, especially as to the
exhibit of apples made by this
state. She has been adjudged
the highest prizes by the judges
at the fair at fit Louis in this
line, and comments of the press
throughout the United States
and the expressed opinion of all
those who were f oi tunate enough
to see the exhibit of apples from
Oregon at St Louis goes to prove
that the judges have not erred
J in their deci ion. It is pleasing
to note, and itmay .be of interest
to our, readers to learn, what
some of tha people from the but
side think of our exhibit, and
we will for this reason put be
fore them the following extract
from "The Western Fruit Grow
er," a monthly magazine pub
lished at St Joseph) Missouri,
and one'of the best known and
most widoly circulated maga
zines of tbe kind in the United
States. We all know that Miss
ouri is one of the best fruit
states in the Union, and not
only this, but it is a place where
they "have to be shown"; know
ing this we can more fully ap
preciate the following ' article
from the above mentioned
paper.-
"Last month we referred to tha
plendid exhibit of apples mada by
Oregon daring the last days ot the
World's Fair. The Oregon exhibit was
