TRIBUTE TO OREGON
In Goodwin's Weeklv. of Salt Lak
City, is found the following: -
"Special attention has been called to
Oregon during the past year- because of
her Lewis and Clark exposition. Though
almost within the sound of the waves of
the Pacific breaking upon her coast, the
exposition, was an immense success, and
thousands of people have now a clear idea
of Oregon who but a few years ago could
not have bounded the state, to save their
lives. And all thair impressions are hap
py ones, for in stately timber, rich valleys,
glorified rivers and scenery that is a per
petual delight, no state exceeds Oregon.
"No DSODle are mora nrnnrnn than
they; no people more country-loving.
uregon is one of the great states of the
union in all the attributes that make a
state great,"
