JACKSONVILLE, JACKSON COUNTY, OREGON, MAY 8, 1909 VOL. III. WoRLD’S EXPOSITION CALL ISSUED IN BOSTON FOR CONVENTION I Exposition to Commemorate Oregon County Judges And Commissioners Get Togeth­ the Three-Hundredth Anni­ er-Horse and Cattle Sale on versary of the Landing of the Pilgrim Fathers, Proposed to in Portland. be Held in 1920. The Boston Herald of April 19 an- nounces the inception of a movement to commemorate by an International Exposition in Boston, in 1820, __ , the three-hundredth anniversary of the Landing of the Pilgrims and the foun­ ding of New England, Steps are already taken to establish a permanent organizatian representing the financial, commercial, industrial, educational and religious interests of New England, for the consummation of the project and we can see no rea­ son why it should not be brought to a successful issue. New England, of all the sections of the U. S. has had no great Exposition. Philadelphia had the Centennial, Chica­ go, Buffalo, St. Louis, San Francisco. I Atlanta, New Orleans, Jamestown ami Portland have all had Expositions and it would seem only fair to give old Boston, “The Hub” and “Athens of America” a chance to show what it can do in providing amusement as well as instruction for the millions of sight­ seers usually attending a world’s fair. MANUFACTURERS BUILDING. On the eastern side of Geyser Basin, at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Ex­ position, the handsome Manufacturers Building looks across the restless waters of the Cascades and the flashing foam of "Old Faithful," the re­ production of Its namesake in Yellowstone National Park. Ita location Is the most central of any of the exposition buildings, and its architectural design is especially fitting for the position it has been given. It was one of the first great exhibition palaces to be completed, and before the end of last year was ready for the reception of its vast col­ lection of exhibits. It will house a magnificent assortment of the highest examples of man's ingenuity and Invention, and within its walls will be gathered specimens of manufactured articles from the workshops of every nation of Importance In the world. It overlooks the finest of the formal gardens of the exposition, and Its •plendid line of pergolas, with their vine-covered columns and blossoming flowers, complete a restful and pleasing view. At no part of the grounds can be seen a more beautiful illuminating effect than is presented from the open pergolas during the late evening and early night. A million sparkling electric bulbs flash their white lights through the waters and, scattered throughout the greenery, hundreds of electroliers mingle their many hues with the riot of colors. Looking down the gentle slope of Rainier Avenue the floating craft of two lakes is brought into vision and adds the delights of a broad, light-sprinkled stretch of forest-enclosed waters to the whole effect.

BALL GAME AT CENTRAL POINT Last Sunday Central Point hlgh school team, bravely assisted by urn- pire Price, took the Jacksonville high school team into camp by a score of 4 to 3. The feature of the game was the work of Price with the indicator. In the future the locals will insist upon having an umpire who haB seen at least one game of ball and can tell the difference between a base ball and a pumpkin when he sees it, and w,io knows a ball diamond from a corn field.

The Oregon palate is never without a relish for a good warm soaking, growing rain, but never did it taste more like a full meal than during the last days of dry, record breaking April. “Raise more hogs and get more wealth by sending the Oregon Brand of packing house products to every market of the world” is a motto that should be announced from every school and pulpit, and be emblazoned on the walls of every commercial organization in the state. The Horse and Cattle Sale in Port­ land has opened the eyes of livestock breeders ir every part of the United States and Canada to the fact that Oregon is the best market for good things in that line in the United Stat- tes. Without regard to the exact spot in which they may reside, Oregon people are beginning to realize fully the tre­ mendous benefit of the Annual Rose Festival, which this year begins June 7th, continuing until the 12th. This Festival emphasizes to people at a dis­ tance the extremely favorable climatic conditions which make possible the production of the finest roses in the world, County Judge J. B. Messick of Bak­ er County, upon the request of several county courts of the state, has issued a call for a state meeting of the Coun­ ty Courts and County Commissioners, at which it is expected to perfect a state organization similar to those ex- istant in other states. Judge Lionel R. Webster, of Multnomah County, will act as Chairman of the Reception Committee, with power to name his associates. The gathering will con­ vene at the Convention Hall of the Portland Commercial Club (6th floor) at ten o’clock Tuesday morning, June 7th, and continue through the day. An arrangement has been made for theCounty Courts and Judges to se­ cure a point of vantage to witness the Rose Festival Parade Monday night and also the one Tuesday afternoon. Tuesday morning the convention will close its session, devoting the after­ noon to the festivities. County Commissioners, Sheriff’s and Engineers have derived great benefit from their organizations throughout the entire United States, and it is cer­ tainly right that the County Courts and County Commissioners, who prac­ tically handle the public affairs of each county, should get together for the be­ nefit of each other’s experience. Oregonians don’t wish anybody hard luck, but they never get sufficiently sympathetic, when the fruit crop fail» in the older states, to "mark down” the price at which we “told up” the balance of the world for its best apples. ¡I 1.1 I.' 1.1 M ii M 1.1 il i.l ii I |i Ii Í! |l ii JI il 1 NO. 1.
