Johnson, forestry export and commissioner to the Buffalo Exposition from Oregon, has dis patched Oregon's exhibit tc the ig fair. The exhibit is one of the best that has ever been made of t lie lumber resources of Oregon and will command a great deal of at tention. Among the exhibits is a four-foot section of the trunk of an regon sugar pine, from southern Oregon. The treo was 225 feet high, 323 years old and seven feet in diameter. On the rear end of t lie second car is a section of an Oregon fir nine feet six inche? in diameter. Resting on two blocks, im which it will pivot m going around curves, is a handsome stick of clear yellow fir timber 34 by Si i nehes, and 75 feet long. It weighs J" tons. On the top of this big timber rests two planks, cut from the same tree. They are three inches thick, 29 inches wide and 7-t feet long. On the cars under tiie big stick are showed sections of tree trunks, as follows: Maple, ihro3 feet in diameter; Cottonwood, three feet; hemlock, four feet; white oak, three feet; madrono, two and lie-half feet. There is also a freak f.'ction of yellow fir three feet irn diameter, the heart of which is only six inches from one side. The - v.iost wonderful thing about the tree is that 30 feet up the heart was in the center. Along s.'do of the sections of tree trunks is a fir plank four inches thick, 54 inches wide, and 24 feet long. On the tliird car is a fins ppseimjn of tide Lend spruce, 8.

Port Orford cedar, velloty pine, alder and several rti-her specimens of Oregjn's timber will comprise the exhibit.
