FAIR DRIVING PARK JUNIOR PROM ARE WARNED JNJ.UMBER AT THEARMQRY I RESOURCES OF THE STATE ALL SEEN IN GREAT BUILDING Ever Since the Opening Day the Oregon Bailding has Been the Greatest Attrac tion at the Fair by Reason of the Central Location, Diversity and Wealth of Display and the Very Artistic Arrangement of its Interior. Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Fair Grounds, June 11 (Special.) Nestled in a grove of towering evergreens, left from thj native wilderness of the fair site, stands the beautiful Colonial building that houses the Oregon exhibits at this fair , of all the Northwest. With its spacious lawns, decorated here and there with beds of Oregon grape, the Oregon building is one of the most at tractive at the exhibition; and. in con- one is aware of water, and look- Passing to the left the sound of bubbling ing to see whence comes the gentle rip pling, one sees the salmon hatchery, flanked by the aquarium.

BENTON COUNTY HORSES WON 1 I Four Fast Events Marked Each Two Days of the Meet and the big Crowd Was Treated to Several Fine Bursts t c j I Northwest, as well as by those from the further states to the east and south. In fact, ever since the opening day, the Oregon building has been the Mecca of all visitors to the fair. Reports of its exhibits have gone afar, and its lo cation is such that it furnishes for. the tourist an excellent base of operations in the campaign of sightseeing. During the frequent band concerts its spacious porch is crowded witn visitors seeking rest and enjoyment in the great axra-. chairs that the Commissioners have provided on its cool and shady porch; while the two balconies upstairs are sure to be filled with other visitors, who are combining the chance to rest and at the same time enjoy the views that these porches afford. One of them gives a vantage point for observation of the passing crowds, while the other has an outlook that is rivalled only by the wonderful vista of Cascade Court. - Located as it is, in the heart of the life of the fair, it is but fitting that the exhibit within, should be of the finest. And to make it so, the unparalleled re sources of the Beaver state have been drawn upon, and set out in such a man ner that each division is given almost equal prominence. -In fact, the interior arrangement of the Oregon building is an invitation to look and see what Ore gon has-, a subtle invitation which leads the visitor on from case to case, from room to room, until all that Oregon has to offer has been seen. Entering the high doorway beneath the pillared porch, one is confronted first with the apple pyramid, an artistic grouping of Oregon's most luscious fruit and the green and shining leaves that make Hood River and Rogue River orchards so beautiful. . This pyramid, over 20 feet in height, is kept fresh by the constant substitution of new fruit for any that may spoil; a large supply of prime apples being kept in cold stor age in the refrigerating plant in the basement. ' f. And right there the "leading psy chology" of the Oregon display begins, if such a term may be used. The eye naturally follows up the pyramid to its apex, and sees beyond the grain picture of the state's resources that fills the graceful dome. In colors true to life this great panorama portrays an idyllic Oregon scene, showing the palisades of the Columbia, with its waterfalls; the dense woods of the mountain districts, the grain fields and pasture land of the interior, . the hop vines, the birds and beasts that are native to the state, and the perfect peak of Mount Hood, rising white and cold above alL As the eye takes in this panorama the question naturally arises as to how all this could be done without paints, and by merely using natural grains " to get the coloring. And so, naturally enough,' one turns to the pillars of grain that support the dome, and to the other grain exhibits, hunting for the different - kernels that contain the magic colors of the dome picture. And one finds them . ' all, and in the search for the different cases is led to other exhibits, that at tract one from time to time away from the search for the multi-colored grains. The big three days race meet ars- ranged for last week at Corvallis Driv ing Park began Thursday and the larga crowd in attendance had the pleasure of seeing several pretty contests , between1 Benton county horses. s In the first event J.- C. Lowe's "Pearl" took the best two in three mile heats in 2:51 and 2:39. .- The half-mile dash was won by R. S.

"Beware of forest fires;-put them out before they get started!" This is the sentiment the Oregon Con servation Association will try to stimu late in the Northwest, before people have gone camping in the woods. A meeting will be held on the evening of Monday, June 14, at the Commercial Club, in Portland, at which members ij 11AC ODSVA.aMUU Will ALbCUU 111 ICllG Irvine's "Bill Short" in 38,2-5 seconds.? number, intent on warning the people John Kiger's "Pilot Lane" took th,eij against . starting fires in the timber, mile pace, doing the first Heat in 2:3(There is a state law, making the start- and the second in 2:25, the lattel- triaT. .:g af a forest fire a penalty, but this being one of the ' prettiest races ever j i not considered enough, because camp seen on this track, the finish being a ! era and hunters may start fire through neck-and-neck contest with "Lady Mai- gnorance of the disastrous. results that colm," and two others a few feet be- nay tollow, and the assocation wants hind. , :-he fires put out before' anybody is- ar- used in the dome picture, and while lookjr.g for it is led to the lumber ex hibit, that rivals that in the Forestry building. And side by side with this is the mineral exhibit, showing that Ore gon has resources under her wooded hills, resources well worth delving for. By this time the visitor has completed the circuit of the lower floor, and that red grain is still missing. So the search is taken upstairs, and there, sure enough, in tall glass jars, are the red and yellow kernels of brilliant hue that are used in the picture to portray the colors of the pheasant's wing. Once satisfied that this dome picture is no fake, and made doubly sure by the in spection at close range; one turns to find the stairs, and in so doing sees yet other exhibits, notably that of the state schools and institutions. And so the visitor is led to examine these be fore returning to the lower floor. Tired, perhaps, by the wealth of dis play that has met the eye, the visitor searches out a place to rest, and is di rected by courteous attendants to the rest rooms. These chambers are fitted up with a sumptuousness seldom equaled in the hotel palaces of the East, where no expense is spared to make the guest comfortable. . Lounging in a chair as soft and alluring as the most fastidious could demand, the visitor rests; and at the same time sees still other Oregon exhibits furniture and decorations, on all sides. No chance has been lost in the Oregon building to display in the most attractive form the resources of the state. Finally rested, the visitor reluctantly starts to leave, but a merry crowd com ing from a darkened door to the right of the entrance piques the natural curi osity, and the darkened door is investi gated. It is found to lead to a spacious and comtortaDie auditorium, with a huge white screen at one end, on which are flashed colored views of the incom parable scenery of the Beaver state. Watching these pictures of magic beau ty and listening , to the description of the places shown, one waits quite con tentedly until moving pictures, the .de light of young and old alike, show the activities of the pioneer state of the Pacific Coast pictures of city and coun try life, of farming, lnmbering and mining. And so, little realizing how the time has passed, one leaves the Oregon build ing, only to discover, perhaps, that half a day has been spent within during that insidious search for the red grain. Half a day and it is time to eat. ; The ques tion is no sooner propounded than an answer is found, and in the same Ore gon building. In the basement is clean and neat restaurant, where Ore gon-raised foods are sold at reasonable prices, and so the visitor returns again to the hospitality of the state and eats for the first time, perhaps, Oregon strawberries.

What Seattle lumbermen predict is the first step in a big revival in the lumber trade, was started yesterday, when specifications were received from the East for 12, 000,000 feet of lumber for bids to be opened July 10. The specifications came from carshops in Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Louis. The Chicago and Milwaukee shops are asking tender on 10,000,000 feet, and the St. Louis shops on ,2,000,000 feet. The material, according to advices re ceived here, is to be used in the con struction of a large number of refriger ator cars for the Northern Pacific Rail way Company. The receipt, of these specifications to day, coming closely upon the letting of a contract to Oregon mills for 8,000,000 feet by the Pullman Company, causes local lumbermen to ' believe that from now on the. revival in -the lumber tjade will be rapid. , ' .
