The experience of the recent cen
sus taking in this state presents a
lesson by which Oregoniann should
profit, and it ought to cause them to
wake up and try to prevent a like
occurrence happening when it is in
their power to prevent it. The two
persons who were appointed to su
perintend the census were totally

Mr. Wilkins is a nice old gentle
man, well respected, and his con
nection with the State Agricultural
Society has been creditable, but he
is not the kind of a man to have
charge of this state's exhibit at the
Ohicago exposition. He is too old
and his ideas are too much anti
quated. Live, energetic men, with
modern ideas and a conception of
what the exposition will be and
what sort of an exhibit the state
must make in order to attract at
tention, men who arc not niggardly
in their views, but liberal and wil

who should have this matter in
