First of all, now biiHiiiesH Hfo Is ox-

Hut tho most extensive ptoof, iudts
ptitablo from any point of observation,
that Oroou is enjoying a degree of
prosperity which never I at font so en
livened its business movements, in
found in tho extraordinary number anil
turprhlug character of tho county fairs
keiug hold throughout tho state.
Portland led this progressive display
nf trado revival by tho successful con
dnrt of tho streut fair aud carnival, an
enterprise never before approached in
splendor and magnitude in the North
west. It oxoited other suctions of the
utato to show what thoy could do by
way of exhibiting tho pioducts of their
districts and tho lapidify with nliiuli
their resoutces are being developed
tho abundance thereof aud tho posiduil-'
Itles therein. Tho people of one conn-1
ty after another caught tho carnival I
fever and it cmicUly sptoad from Pen
illeton to Tho Dalles, thenco to d'tirval-
lis, thence to Roseburg, Sumptei, Hal;.
vr City and it is still spreading,
In addition to all this, tho Oiegou
tato fair is ptesoutiug this week a dis
play of cattle, horses, sheep, hogs, poul
try, cerials, vegetables, fruits ami other
products in manifold form aud great
variety inner before equalled by any
timilar exhibition on tho Pacillu coast.
So attractive and nhouomoiial in many
respects aio those exhibits that people
uro Docking to Otegou's capital city
fiom all its neighboitug states to view
the prodigious produuts of Wobfuotsoll,
Tho degieo of progress thus Indicated
during tho past year Is lemarkable.
Tim people tM Oregon never saw any
thing Use before, but they aro likely to
ee much tif it heuoeforth.
Oregon is at last thoroughly awake.
It will enter upon tho new century a
thing of real life, an entity of now

Tho mocs so abundantly evident in the

Tho wonderful advancement being

tho idea that, if thoo who aro intcicst

easily attract tho attention of tho
