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

(Special Correspondence.)
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.
