Treasure State at St. Louis is to "be shown
at Portland, together with several addi
tional private collections, notably amonc
the latter beingTJnlted States Senator W.
A, Clark's magnificent cabinet collection
of copper specimens now on exnibitlon at
the Columbia. Gardens. Clark's mountain
resort, three miles southeast of Butte.
The Montana mineral exhibit at St.
Louis was awarded one of the five grand
prizes, and for beauty and magnificence
cannot be surpassed by any in the world
Rare gold crystals, valued at 550,000. com
prise one feature of the collection, while
another is a quantity of the Togo sap
phires, whose deep royal blue color ri
vals the gem of'Burmah and the Orient.
Thousands of dollars worth of gold and
silver bullion is shown stacked up with
the commonness of the woodpile. Added
to Butte's copper ore exhibit are samples
of rich ore from Senator Clark's United
Verde copper mines. In Arizona, a prop
erty for which $50,000,000 In cold cash had
been refused.
The eighth Legislative Assembly made
-aa appropriation of 560.000 for an exhibit
at St. Louis and Portland. Of this sum
550,000 was designated for use at St. Louis
and 510.000 for Portland. At the time the
appropriation was made it was estimated
that the cost of shipping the Montana ex
hibit from St. Louis to Portland, together
with the installation of the exhibit would
be about 54000, but according to former
Senator Lee Mantle, president of the Com
mission, the 510.000 will not be more than
enough to properly ship the minerals to
Portland and install them. "When the
ninth Assembly convenes in January, a
bill will be Introduced asking for an ap
propriation of another 510,000 with which
to erect a Montana building. The Mon
tana exhibit, with massive samples of
copper ore from Butte, which will probab
ly be shipped In conjunction with Senator
Clark's Columbia Garden's collection, will
aggregate a considerable number of tons,
and the feeling that this state's resources
would be more fittingly and better adver
tised In a home of its own than in one
of many departments of some large build
ing finds many supporters, particularly
among mining men.
In addition to her minerals. Montana will
uhow her agricultural exhibit at St. Louis,
among which is the famous Gallatin Val
ley barley, awarded one of the first prizes
for excellence. This barley was also
awarded the first prize at the Salt Lake
cession of the National Irrigation Con
gress, over a year ago.
The Commission will gather a fresh hor
ticultural exhibit, which will consist prin
cipally of Bitter Root Valley and Eastern
Montana fruits, consisting mainly of ap
ples, crabapples and the hardier varieties
of plums.
The personnel of the Lewis and Clark
Commission is as follows: President. Lee
Mantle, of Butte; vice-president. Martin
Maginnis, of Helena; secretary, Paul Mc
Cormlck, of Billings; treasurer, C. W.
Hoffman, of Bozemen; advisory members,
W. G. Conrad, of Great Falls; H. L.
Frank, of Butte; B. F. "White, of Dillon;
F. Augustus Helnze, of Butte; "William
Scallon, of Butte; J. H. Rice, Fort Ben
ton; Conrad Kohrs. of Deer Lodge: D. R.
Peeler, of Kalispell; C. J. McNamara. of
Helena. T. L. Greenough; of Missoula,
and Dan McDonald, of Butte.
H. G. Wlnchell, professor of mines and
metallurgy at the State School of Mines,
is In charge of the exhibits at St. Louis
and will probably superintend the exhibit
at Portland.
WILL SEND ITS BEST.
Utah wril Add to St. Louis Exhibit
and Increase Appropriation.
SALT LAKE, Dec 31. (Special.)
Utah will have a creditable , ex
hibit at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion, which will be held in Portland.
Or, In 1905. This much the public sen
timent of the state demands, and a be
ginning has already been made to this
end. The Legislature which met in
1903 had to provide for the representa
tion of the state at the St. Louis
A orM's Fair, which, - coming a year
ahead of the Portland Fair, received
the lion's Bhare of the appropriation.
For the St Louis exhibit 550,000 was
set apart, while only a fifth of this
amount was put to the credit of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition by the
came Legislature. The act of the
Legislature creating the commission
provided explicitly that all exhibits of
the state at St. Louis, which may be
deemed necessary by the commission,
are to be transferred to the Lewis and
Clark Fair.
This means that the very best of the
splendid exhibit at St. Louis is availa
ble for use at Portland. Mr. Holman,
one of the Lewis and Clark commis
sion, has already examined the exhibit
carefully, and a large portion has been
designated to be sent to Oregon.
Much of the success of the Utah ex
hibit at St. Louis was due to the liber
ality of mining men and companies,
who. it la believed, will respond as
readily to. a second call. At St. Louis.
Utah was awarded two grand prizes In
agriculture, two grand prizes In edu
cation, one grrand prize in mines and
metallurgy, and about 40 other medals
and awards for excellence of exhibits
and maintenance.
The best of these some of the ex
hibits, it Is believed, can be bettered
will go to Portland.
Under the law creatine: the commis
sion, the Governor is ex-offlcio chair
man. The other members are State
Senator A. B. Lewis, former State Sen
ator Fred ,J. Ktcssel, George P. Holman
and H. B. Clawson. Governor "Wells.
the present chairman, will be succeed
ed afte January C by John C. Cutler,
the newly-elected Governor. John Q.
Canncn has been serving as joint sec
retary of both Fair boards. It is prob
able that S. T. Whitaker will serve as
director in charge at Portland, as he
did at St. Louis with success.
An appeal will be made to the Legis
lature whloh meets In January 'for a
l.bernl appropriation, which, it is not
doubted, will bo cheerfully voted.
BEST POOT FOREMOST.
Empire State Will Send St. Louis Ex
hibit with Additions.
NEW YORK, Dec. 31. (Special.)
Preparations for the organization
of the New York State exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition have only
been begun, but there Is already mani
fested a lively Interest in the affair.
Proverbially, the New Yorker is sup-
' ' ''
posed to care little for those localities
that lie west of Chautauqua Lake and
Suspension Bridge. As a matter of fact,
the merchant In him knows no geo
graphical limitations. This fact Insures
that pains will be taken to make New
York's part in the Exposition conspic
uous. The last Legislature made an. appro
priation of 535.000 to be used for the
purpose of removing: the Now York
State exhibit at St. Louis to Portland,
"and for other purpose." In connec
tion with the propsed new-exhibit.
The commission does not regard 535.
000 as a sufficient amount and will ask

additional to Improve the St. Louis ex
hibit and make it mor.e suitable for
the particular purpose of an exhibit at
Portland. The commission desires also
to have a fund with which to organize
local boards of trade and private ex
hibitors. Vice-President Samuel B. "Ward, of
the State Commission, who lives in Al
bany, and is in close official touch with
the situation, said yesterday:
"We have not accomplished much
thus far because only recently we have
been appointed and wo have been able
only to see to it that the various ex-
hlblta from this state at St. Louis were
kept there Intact until we could make
definite arrangements.
"One thing is certain, though: We.
will. If It Is possible, have as creditable
an exhibit at Portland as we had at St.
Louis."
Arrangements have been made with
Superintendent Ellis, who was em
ployed by New York at St.
Louis to take charge- of the
portion of the New York exhibit
that Is to be transferred. It Is under
stood that the work of making- the
transfer will be begun at once. The na
ture of the exhibit outslde'of that al
ready collected at St. Louis has not
been determined, except to the extent
set forth In the words of Piatt R
Brown, of New York, another member
of the commission: "We want to make
it the best that is possible within our
means. Thirty-five thousand dollars
Isn't much, but. if the citizens of New
York do their share In the way of pri
vate exhibits, we ought to be well rep
resented In Portland next year."
Early.in the coming year the commis
sioners propose to adopt a plan to sa

cure the co-operation of boards of trade
and transportation, commercial bodies
and other private Interests. It is a fact
that New York as a state has heard
more about the Pacific Coast in the last
two years than In all time previous.
The development of trado with the Ori
ent has forced Itself upon Eastern at
tention. It has been a lesson In geo
graphy to the hitherto self-satisfied.
New .York Is not unenterprising when
Its attention has been called to the
fact that there are other countries on
the map, and may be depended upon. It
hi now safe to say, to make a showing
at Portland creditable both to the state
and to the Exposition.
The president of the New York State
Commission Is Fred R. Green, of Fre
donin. Dr. Ward, of Albany, is vice
president, and Harry D. Williams, of
Buffalo, is secretary and treasurer. No
secretary has been chosen.
OLD BAY STATE COMING.
Massachusetts Will Show Up Hsr
Products and Historic Relics.
FIRST among the states to announce
Its intention to erect a building and
select a site was Massachusetts, whose
Executive Commissioner, State Senator
Wilson H. Falrbank, came-to Portland In
October for that purpose. The building
will occupy one of the most commanding
sites on the ground, directly north of the
Forestry building, fronting on Oregon
avenue on the south and Observatory
Point on the north.
On a reduced scale the building at St.
Louis, which is In the Colonial style, will
be duplicated. It will be constructed main
ly of lumber, in such a manner that It
can be moved, if desired, or adapted to
other purposes, cither public or private.
lt will be clap-boarded and painted White.
The Interior will be as nearly as pos
sible a duplicate of that at St. Louis, with
comfortable clubrooms for visitors from
the old Bay State. It will have the same
furniture, much of which was brought
from the St&tehouse. the same flags and
plants as were used at St. Louis. The
stairway in the St. Louis building, which
is a reproduction of that leading to the
Senate Chamber In the Statehouse. will
also be reproduced. The furniture will In
clude a clock made 100 years ago, which
is a valuable relic.
Almost the entire state exhibit at St.
Louis, which cost 5SS.O00, will be trans
ferred to Portland. The educational ex
hibit alone, which is arranged by cities

and towns, cost 530.000. All the state in

lum, and other institutions of restraint.

Commission, including photographs of the

Every encouragement Is being given to
the manufacturers and merchants of Mas
sachusetts tp make displays In .the gen
eral exhibit buildings.
MISSOURI WILL- BUILD.
Strong Influence in Favor of Further"
Appropriation for Fair.
O T. LOUIS, Mo., Dec 3L (Special.)
vj Imperial Missouri will have as com
plete an exhibit of the products sot the
stale at the Lewis and Clark Exposition
of 1905 as any other commonwealth In the
American Union, and hopes to excel all
others. E. S. Carver, of Granite City,
"Worth County, has been appointed gen
eral commissioner, and Is now selecting
the best of the display exhibited at the
"World's Fair for transference to Portland,
v.nrwvia! Attention will be nald to agricul
tural products, horticultural exhibits, for
estry and ores from tne mines oi aussoun.
Including Iron, lead, zinc, coal, sands,
stone, etc It Is contemplated to erect a
building In which all the products from
Missouri will be exhibited. It is believed
that In this way the display will be more
effective than were It to be scattered
among the various exhibit palaces. Mr.
Carver filled a similar position at Buffalo
and Charleston, and is thoroughly famil
iar with the duties of the office and con
sequently can make selections for Port-
land better .than could any other man
who might be named. He was appointed
by Governor Dockery on November 30,
after a conference with Governor-elect
Folk, the selection meeting the approval
of the incoming executive.
At the session of the Legislature held In
1993 the sum of 510.000 was appropriated for
exhibits at the Lewis and Clark Exposi
tion. The act appropriating this sum
reads "For the years 1S03-OL" Unless the
money is expended before, the expiration
of this year, the remainder will have to
be covered back Into the state treasury.
The commissioner, however, is not worry
in? about this, but Is letting contracts for
the Installing of exhibits, which, it Is be
lieved, will have absorbed the greater
part, if not all, of the appropriation be
fore the end of the year. This will mean
that another appropriation will be asked
for' from the Legislature at Its session In
January to make up any deficiency, and
it Is generally believed that-the supple
mental bill will go through with a whoop,
especially a.3 it will be recommended by
Governor DOckery In his farewell message
and also hy Governor Folk In his In
augural, than whom the Portland, Exposi
tion has no more ardent advocate.
Of course, as yet no bill has been passed
by the Legislature authorizing the erec
tion of a state building, but in his report
Mr. Carver will urge such action.
There have been frequent conferences
between Mr. Carver and Colonel Dosch. of
the Lewis and Clark Exposition Com
pany, and they have practically deter
mined upon the lass of exhibits which
Missouri will make. In addition to the
departments mentioned above, there will
HAS VARIED MANUFACTURES
OREGON'S PROGRESS IN CONVERTING HER
RAW MATERIALS INTO FINISHED PRODUCTS
REGON'S rapid rise to the rank of a
manufacturing state is demonstrated
by the tabulated statement of her
industries prepared by O. P: Hoff. the
State Labor Commissioner, which appears
in another column. His figures are not
only most conservative, but are neces
sarily Incomplete, owing to the failure or
refusal of some persons to report. Even
with these omissions, the state has 106
distinct -industries, employing an average
aggregate. of 25,384 persons, who received
in wages In the year 1901 513.135,422.
First in rank comes the sawing of lum
ber and Its manufacture into the various
shapes, which is discussed in more detail
in separate articles. After it has come
from the sawmill, lumber enters into the
manufacture of no less than 13 different
.commodities In this state. Including about
6000 persons employed In the logging camps,
who are 'Omitted from Mr. HofTs statis
tics, the production of lumber and all In
dustries following upon it employ 14,229
persons, who received 56.456,006 in wages
id 1304.
A baker's dozen of manufactures has
grown out of the livestock Industry. Hides
are tanned into leather, of the value of
5342,640, mUch of which in turn is made
into boots and shoes worth 5146,650; into
saddlery and harness worth 5384,200. as
well as Into whips and gloves. The dairy
cattle furnish employment to cheese, but
ter and condensed-milk factories, the
product of which was worth 52.473,000. Of
the meat of cattle, sheep and hogs, ten
butchers and packers slaughtered and
packed meat to the value of $1,502,300 and
sold by-products to soap and candle fac
tories, which turned out 5140.400 worth of
goods. Of the 19,500,000 pounds of wool
clipped from the Oregon sheep, about one
eighth was woven Into cloth, blankets and
flannels In Oregon woolen mills, which are
credited with a product of 5915.C00. One of
the largest of these, which was destroyed
by fire. Is now in process of rebuilding
on a larger scale than before. A part of
these woolen goods were made up Into
clothing at home, the state's clothing fac
tories having an output of 5193,000. There
Is also one taxidermist who preserves the
bodies of animals, and six firms manu
facture clothing from the fur of wild
animals.
Products of the Soil.
Among products of the soil, wheat nat
urally takes first place. A yearly Increas
ing proportion of the' crop Is ground into
flour in the mills of Portland and the
Interior and not only sold at home, but
sent by the shipload to the Orient. The

value of the year's product Is estimated
at 57.000,400. Much of this is used at home
in making 5864,630 worth of crackers and
baking product?. Fruit and vegetables
are canned to the value of 5165.0S0. pickles
and preserves are made worth 579,750, and
vinegar Is a by-product of the orchards.
Hops and barley contribute to the brew
ing of malt liquors, worth 5803.520, and
another factory makes other food prep
arations. Four broom factories get their
corn straw from Oregon fields. Products
of the field grown In other lands and
other states are cotton, which goes to
make mattresses or is manufactured in
Portland into twine, some of which is
woven into nets apd seines for the fisher
men, linseed oil and tobacco, cigars and
cigarettes, the alue of the last-named
product being 5161.040.
Manufactures of metals, minerals and
earthen substances of all kinds are many
and various. Foundries have a product
worth 5838,620, including all kinds of ma
chinery and castings, both of iron and
steel, while brass castings are made at
four foundries and two factories make
other kinds of Iron work. Two houses
make gas-heating plants and one makes
gas machines. Tinsmiths turn out goods
to the value of 5S39.400. Including the
product of a great can factory used- by
the salmon canners. as well as by can
cers of fruit and vegetables. Other arti
cles of Iron and steel made here are tools
and saws. The production of brick and
tile employs an average of 435 men and
of paving and paving material 378. men.
Marble work and monuments are also
Oregon products and five factories make
pottery. Four firms make paints and
employ a capital of 5151.000; one makes
individual exhibits of various kinds, so
Jiiit it Is coaSdently believed the state
can well be proud of lt3 exhibits.
It is possible, but hardly probable, that
additional commissioners will be ap
pointed to .co-operate with Mr. Carver,
la elth"r case, he will be the president of
the commission and will have supreme
charge of the exhibit. His work at Buf
falo, and Charleston guarantees that the
display will be worthy the state which he
represents. Mr. Carver is editor and pro
prietor of the Granite City Times and one
of the best known men in the- state. "While
from the smallest county in Missouri and
in stature but about five feet eight inches,
yet he Is "a big, brainy man," and the
people of Oregon will find .Missouri ably
represented.
WILL SHOW RESOURCES.
North Dakota May Also Send Roose
velt Cabin to Portland.
BISMARCK, N. D., Dec. 31. (Special.)
The hill that passed the last
Legislature of North Dakota, providing
for an exhibit of the products and re
sources of the state at the St. Louis
Fair, provided also that at the close of
that Exposition the display should be
sent to Portland, Or., for display at
the Lewis and Clark Exposition. No
appropriation was provided, however,
for anything- furthenthan the St. Louis
Exposition. At the forthcoming- ses
sion of the Legislature, which convenes
January 3, steps will bo taken for an
appropriation properly to present the
resources of the state at Portland, and
a commission will be named to have
charge of the display. It seems gener
ally taken for granted the Lieutenant
Governor David Bartlett, who has pre
sided acceptably at the displays made
by North Dakota at the Buffalo and St.
Louis Expositions, will be reappointed
to take charge at Portland. Other mem
bers of the commission will probably
be Governor K. Y. Sarles and Commis
sioner of Agriculture W. C. Gllbreath.
North Dakota had one uf tne hand
somest booths In the Agricultural
building at St. Louis. This consisted of
glass columns supporting- a character
istic frieze. The columns are hollow
squares and each Is filled with some
grain, wheat, oats, rye, flax, corn and
others of the cereal products of the
state. This booth will be carefully pre
served for resnlpment to Portland. It
will be decorated with products of the
state grain, both in the straw and in
salt, one lamps and there is one lapidary,
who cuts Drecious stones.
Among the various other industries
enumerated are the fish-canneries? of
which there are 24 employing a maximum
of 1600 men; a button factory: 45 confec
tioners employing 200 men with an out
put of 5440,900; 12 Ice factories employing
4" men and a capital of 5223,000; 22 min
eral water factories, employing 70 men;
nine patent medicine factories, with an
output of 554,570. and a great number of
lesser -Industries.
A new Industry which promises to
greatly enhance the prosperity of East;
ern Oregon is the manufacture of beet
sugar. The factory at La Grande has
