Gramma's Apalvfr It seems that my young neigh bor think I was a leetle to plain in my remarks in that piece that I wrote to the paper a week or so ago.

Some of my reasons for believing this are as follows: Oregon has been content for many years to rely on its resources .. ' , ml thinking it was not necessary to make any showing to the world. .Asa consequence the state 'f ashington has developed its re - soiuces ami received an meroiiM' in population greater than Oregon. 1 Ills will lie a 1 acitio Coast exln-1 hition, and without hurting any other state it will be of th.. m-,-, benelit to Oreuon itself It will stimulate the growth and develop ment of Oregon by making others believe in us, and what is of more importance, will make us believe in ourselves. It will start ilidus- tries ami the development of Ore- Ron's resources which h ave hitherto neon put oil until some nioro con - venient season. It will make Or gomans acquainted with ead other, and will remove local ieul ousies lor tlie grand onject of a great state growth. It will increase, tho state pride of all Oregonians. The Fair must of necessity he held at Portland for convenience, for in Oregon all roads lead to Portland. This is the best place, and where strangers would natur ally expect it to be held, and where strangers would naturally expect it firm of Cornett & Elkins, doing a to be held, and where it nui't and general hlacksniithing business in can only he successful.
