14 THE MOBNTNG OBEGONIAtt, TUESDAY, KOTEMBEB 1, 1904. TO EXPLOIT: FAIR Expert Exposition Boomer Heads Press Bureau. TAKEN FROM ST. LOUIS STAFF Ho Will Supplyi Interesting Articles to Thousands of Newspapers Fair Officials Assemble at'St. Louis to Make Selections. The work of exploiting the Lewis and Clark Exposition on a broader scale than has heretofore been attempt ed will be taken up immediately; For the purpose of establishing a Lewis and Clark press bureau, Frank Lu JierricK, an experienced exposition writer, ar rived yesterday from St Louis, where he has been engaged for three years with the St. Louis Exposition exploi tation bureau. Mr. Merrick will com mence his new duties today. From the Lewis and Clark bureau will be sent out thousands of dupli cated articles bearing upon the "West ern World's Fair. Illustrated feature WELL ADYEKTISE THE FAIR. ' JjdBeKm -tA iBssssssssssss1 lisssssssssssssm ' bsbsssssssssssh Frank L. Merrick. articles will be supplied to hundreds of big dailies. Material descriptive of the Exposition will likewise be supplied to smaller periodicals and to publica tions of every sort. A list of 5000 papers has been com piled by the Exposition management to serve as the mailing-list. As the pub lications included in the list represent every part of the United States, the advertisement and exploitation the Ex position will receive through that me dium is hound to be or great value. This scheme of publicity has been under consideration by the Exposition management for some months, but was consummated recently. Director I. N. Flelschner, chairman of the publicity committee, has been a hearty supporter of the press bureau idea from the first, and has maintained that Its value to the Exposition will be immeasurable. Mr. Merrick, who takes charge of the bureau, bears high credentials and is regarded as thoroughly capable for the place. His connection with the St. Louis Exposition's press bureau gave him a broad experience in writing of exposition affairs. His -articles descrip tive of the "World's Fair and Its sepa rate features have been widely used by newspapers and other publications. He is a son of the Jate Henry Merrick, the brilliant editorial paragrapher of the Washington Post. At a meeting to be held on Wednes day the work and policy of the bureau will be fully gone into by the commltttee on press and publicity. FAIR OFFICIALS AT ST. LOUIS Will Act Finally on Securing Exhibits and Good Concessions. Lewis and Clark Exposition activities have been transferred to St. Lou's. With the arrival at that point of President H. W. Goode, a large percentage of the working force will be there. Besides Mr. Goode, T. B. Wilcox and J. C Alns worth, of the executive committee, Gen eral Counsel Dan Malarkey will meet with the official party for the purpose of inquiring Into the legality of all transactions. After the reports of Di rector of Exhibits H. E. Dosch and Di rector of Concessions John A. Wake field have b6en heard, action will be taken In. the matter of finally securing desirable exhibits as well as enter tainments and features for the "Trail." With the Missouri "Pike" at their dis posal. President Goode and his staff will bo able to select some of the most attractive Midway features extant. Before returning to Portland Mr. Goode will meet with the United States Government board relative to the Gov ernment's participation in the Exposition. TO SPEND UNCLE SAM'S MONEY Disbursing Officer of National Board on Way to Portland. It is believed that William Geddes, secretary and disbursing officer of the Government board, is on his way to Portland. As Mr. Geddes - is the man who will spend Uncle Sam's Fair money, and he is probably coming to prepare a report upon the Exposition, his arrival is an important event. There Is no announcement of his im pending arrival nor has he sent word he will be here. However, a letter from the War Department addressed to him in care of the Lewis and Clark Exposl tion headquarters would seem to Indi cate conclusively that Mr. Geddes Is on his way. Rules In Regard to Exhibits. A new set of rules governing the par ticipation of exhibitors and a new and complete- classification of exhibits will be Issued today in pamphlet orm. Sev eral thousand copies of this booklet will fall from the press today for gen eral distribution. NOT INJURED IN WRECK. Tom Richardson Sends News Wel come to His Many Friends.
