event telling of deeds of daring, courage.
valor and perseverance.
Gallant. Courageous Pathfinders.
These gallant pathfinders, who led the
way through unknown gateways of ths
mountains to the Pacific, exhibited during
the period of their exploration & courage
born of the self-same stock that early In
history nerved Leonldas and his gallant
.hree hundred at Thermopylae, and was later
exhibited In the undaunted courage of the
brave six hundred comprising the famed
Light Brigade at Balaklava.
The lessons of history tell us that when
civilization round limits to Its extension
and halted, when tle sails of trade and
commerce drifted Into unknown seas; when
population became congested In the great
centers, a Columbus; a Livingstone, a Stan
ley. a Meriwether Lewis or a William Clark
went up from the dally walks of life. and.
with a courage almost phenomenal, lifted
the veil of mystery and obscurity from
strange seas, unfamiliar paths, and unknown
countries, thus permitting the accumulated
energies of the Anglo-Saxon race to have an
outlet, and thus work out Us destiny.
Following Governor Mead came Pres!
dent H. W. Goode, who "also was recog
nized with applause by the spectators,
President, Goode In his address a!d It was
a source oi great sauaiacuon to tne man
agement of the Fair that Washington was
so creditably represented at the Exposl
tion, and formally welcomed the people
ot the state to Portland.
United States Senator Piles, from "Wash
ington, came after President Goode. and
be spoke briefly on the Exposition and
the beautiful edifice that has been erected
by the Lewis and Clark Commission from
his state. From his speech it could read.
ily be seen that he loooked on the Expos!
tion lava similar" light with President
Goode. Senator Piles was warmly ap
plauded, and delivered a very excellent
oration.
As Senator Piles concluded his address
as stepped from tke speakers platform.
Vice-President Fairbanks arose to .his fet
after being- introduced by Senator Smith.
The Vice-President was the recipient of
still another enthusiastic demonstration,
and the spectators did not stop cheering
until he had raised his right hand several
limes in motioning them to be silent so
that he could proceed with his address.
He seemed to be deeply Impressed by the
unrestrained display of welcome which
aroused him to his best efforts. His ad
dress was vigorous and concise, and was
particularly ably delivered. Frequently
when speaking he was Interrupted by ap
plause. Cadet Band Plays.
One of the most attractive features of
the dedication of the Washington build
ing was the presence of the cadet band
from the Washington Agricultural Col
lege, which furnished the music of the ex
ercises. National and popular airs were
rendered to the utmost enjoyment of the
crowd. Several times the pieces played
were so well received that the band was
compelled to render encores. The Wash
ington Agricultural College cadet band Is
one of the best musical organizations of
its kind In the United States. The mem
bers of the organization have been play
ing together for several years, until they
have reached such a high degree of per
fection that they compare favorably with
many professional bands.

of my appreciation of what has been so
splendidly wrought here by President Goode
and his associates. (Applause.)
No American can look upon what has
arisen here, as though by some marie power,
without feeling Increased pride in the people
of the Pacific Slope, in the people of the

Proud as we are of this Exposition, we are
prouder still of that spirit which has found
expression through the eloquent Up "of the
Governor of the State of Washington, and
the dlstlnrulshed Senator who has Jast taken
his seat. (Applaure.) What a rplendld
thing it is to be proud, of your own com

I hope that we may all see the time when

President Goode s Welcome
PRESIDENT GOODE yesterday wel
comed the people of Washington to
the Lewis and Clark Exposition; in the
following speech:
I wish to say but a word to you. the rood
people of Washington. It was exceedingly
gratifying' to us who were working on the
Exposition when the Legislature of the State
of Washington appropriated so large an
amount of money. That appropriation meant
not only that Washington would erect a
handsome building; and install beautiful ex
hibits, but It meant much more. It meant
that the people of Washington were talcing
exactly ths same Interest in this Exposition
that the people of Oregon were.
We. naturally expect a very larfc propor
tion of our attendance from the State of
Washington. The building of this magnifi
cent home on the Fair grounds for the peo
ple of Washington, with Its display of their
own products, of course, renders the plac
very attractive to them, but It also aids ma
terially In enabling the visitors from the
East to see the resources and opportunities
as found in the States of Oregon aad' Wash
ington. We have always figured from the Inception
days. A ton of blooms from BeUIngham
will be here by then, and on Wednesday
afternoon a fine musical programme un
der the direction of Mrs. Walter Reed
will be given. Thursday the various
clubs of Portland will be Invited to an
Informal reception. Friday will be Indus
trial day, and a reception will be given
for all Industrial .bodies, local or visiting,
then In the city." This will Include the
Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial
Club, the Board of Trade, the Mayor and
Council and other city officials. Educa
tional Day Is set for Saturday, when the
State of Washington will be at home to
school bodies, church dignitaries and
members, philanthropic bodies- and others.
On Saturday evening a grand patriotic
concert will be given In the building by
De Caprlo's Band.
Oilier AVashington Functions.
In addition to this elaborate programme.
Mrs. Leonard has several informal din
ners and luncheons arranged for the
Washington Commissioners and- their
friends, as the ladlen of BeUIngham are
particularly anxious to express their ap
preciation of finding the state lteadquar-
ters in readiness for the opening yester
day. Commissioner Johnston's work In
this regard was especially effective, and
there Is a general expression of grateful
hcm and appreciation of It.
The plan of the State of W ashlngton to
give the largest town or city In each
county a week's conduct of the social
department at the Exposition headquar
ters Is a happy one. for each county
will turn out, as Its ladles are serving
as official hostess?, and the attendance
from the state will thus be materially en
larged. The Idea was suggested by Mrs.
Charles J. Roth, who is a daughter of
Captain Henry Rocder. one of the best
known pioneers in that state. Aberdeen
would have been the flrrt city to be rep
resented, as the list Is alphabetical, but
BeUIngham took the first week for the
reason that Governor Mead was to bo
here, and he is from that city. Other
cities which will be represented are:
Chehalls. Centralla, Dayton. Davenport,
Ellcnsburg. Everett. Goldendale. Mount
Vernon. North Yakima, Olympla. Port
Townsend. Seattle. South Bend. Spokane.
Tacoma. Vancouver, Walla JEValla, We-
natcnee.
Formal Opening of Y. W. C. A.
The handsome rustle building erected
by the Young Women's Christian Asso
ciation on the Fair grounds will be
thrown open Monday night with a recep
tion by the board of directors to the
Fair officials, commissioners and their
friends. After this formal opening the
building will be open to the pubUc every
day. and beginning Tuesday morning
meals can be had and rest rooms enjoyed.
The meals will be served both to men and
women, and the ladles of the board are
of the opinion that the cooking will excel
that of any other restaurant, as It will
be on purely domestic science lines. Elab
orate exhibits of the association's work,
not only on the Pacific Coast, but of Na
tional headquarters in Chicago and of the
world's Y. W. C A. work, will' be made
In this building, where the public wUl be
always welcome.
P. C- Stohry or Chicago, Arrives.
P. C. Stohr. of Chicago, assistant traffic
director ot the Harrlman lines, reached

agent of the O. R. &. N., and W. EL Co

icatory Exercises.
After particlpatlnc; In the dedication
ceremonies of the Washington building;
and attending- a luncheon given In his
honor at the Arlington Club by T. B. Wil
cox. Vice-President Fairbanks visited the
Exposition yesterday afternoon and left
for the East on O. R. &. N. train No. 6
at "805 o'clock last night, accompanied
by the members of his family.
Mr. Fairbanks delivered a short address
to the People of Washington
of the. Fair that the people from the East
would spend practically as much time in the
State of Washington on their trip and re
turn as they would In Oregon. There bas
r.eer been any question in our minds of a
boundary line In this or any other Fair. It
Is true we all work for our own state, but
yei we are all one, and the development of
en state means the development of the
otter.
One of the results of the Fair wilt be the
bringing- closer together of the people. Our
states are exactly the same and if tor no
other purpose I think that all the money ex
pended and to be expended In the construc
tion and operation of this Exposition will be
well repaid many times by the good feeling
that Wilt be created among all the people of
this Coast.
I wish to compliment the State Commission
on the wonderful work It has done In the
erection of this magnificent palace In so
short a time. As Governor Mead said, the
work only started two or three months ago.

used to such things felt a little worried
But the commission was equal to the oc
casion and everything has been completed.
I extend to you all a very cordial welcome.

JIT THE
ATTRACTIVE DISPLAYS DRAW
' LARGE CROWDS.
In Horticulture, Forestry and in
Minerals Golden State Has
Remarkable Exhibits..
Those in charge ot the California build
ing at the Exposition are greatly pleased
over the way in which their displays have-
attracted the Fair visitors. On the open
ing day the building was packed all day.
and the number of people who have In
spected the exhibits since that time have
been very large,
California has one of the largest state
buildings on the grounds, and her state
commission has made every effort to col
lect an Interesting display. It is thought
by many who visited the Louisiana Pur
chase Exposition that the present exhibit
of the Golden State is superior to the one
made lh St. Louis. The building; Is larger
and the displays' themselves cover a wider
range and are better Installed.
The building Itself is located near the
west of the Palace of Oriental Exhibits,
and is constructed In the old Mission
style. All the furniture Is ot massive de
sign, and even the door catches have been
removed from some old Southern Califor
nia building, for they are of iron, hand
wrought.
The mining exhibit Is the first to greet
the eye. In the center of this display Is
located a large case froa San Diego, con
taining several thousand dollars worth, of
valuable gems, cut ana uncut. These em
brace moons-tones, turquoisee, hyacinths
and "many beaatlful minerals. Large
blocks of ore fors art ot the. ashdng
display, and apadweao froa aH parts of
the state showing the weaita or precteus
metals.
In 'the. centerot the main hair Is an
enormous tower supporting Jars of pre
served frttlt from afl ever Use state. Sec
tions of the pilter rereet -varies. por
tions .of the state, svefe as ue San Jo
aula ana Sacramento Valleys, Sewtswra
California, the ceaac resiee and the bay
oewitiea.
Large and comprehensive exhibits in
agriculture, manufactures, forestry and
other resources cover the first floor.
On the second floor is a series ot dis
plays in the line of education, including
many hundreds of photographs of public
schools and specimens ot work from every
city and town of the state. On the large
wall are a hundred large transparencies
showing 3cenes at the University of Cali
fornia at Berkeley.
The rooms of Governor Pardee and his
family are on the north, side of the second
floor, and have been elaborately fitted up
for the comfort of the official guests.
The building is on one of the main thor
oughfares, and is constantly thronged with
visitors. The state display Is practically
complete in every part, which in a meas
ure accounts for its popularity.

Great Laughing Success at the Em

The Empire Stock Company will open

The plot deals with the great mistake a

The young man naturally falls, in love
with her himself, and, after getting mar

of his country can afford to miss "A Ro
mance of "15." the beautiful revolutionary
play In which Miss Bertha Creighton will
be seen at the Marquam Grand Theater

is full of "the spirit of Independence," as
the original article itself. The patriotic
feelintr of tho children at that time Is
brought out In a beautiful touch where
the grandson of one ot the American pa
triots has organized a regiment ot nu
little playmates and Is drilling them on
the green at the Battery. Park, much to
the disgust of the British officers quar
tered nearby. Miss Creighton s support

Brilliant Oration of Senator Samuel H. Piles
Hon. Samuel H. Plies. United States
Senator of Washington, delivered a bril
liant oration at the dedication of the
Washington building, saying:
A trinity of great state California. Oregon '
and Washington; looks toward the Orient. An
ocean greater than the Atlantic invites our
ships, and yonder to our seaward are Hawaii

great world-power. Her progress as a nation
Is one of tho marvels of the age. Something
like 50 years ago the Japanese were a seml
harbarous people, and It la only within the
last few years that the enlightened nations
of the earth have agreed to submit their citi
zens for trial in Japanese courts. CSlna, Is

which we can lose it, and that la by allow

GOOD CROWDS AT
THE EXPDS1TI0N
Second Day's Attendance Is
.Beyond Expectation of
Most Sanguine.
RAIN DOES NOT INTERFERE
Feature of tho Occasion Was the
Festivity In Hbnor or the "Wash
lngtonians Who Dedicated
Their Building.
PAID ADMISSIONS 1M4.
At the close of the Kates at the Ex
position last night at 11 o'clock, F. B.
Davidson, chief of the department,
announced that there were 10IM paid
admissions. The threatening weather
in a measure kept many persons from
visiting the Fair, who otherwise would
have- done ?o;
The attendance at the Exposition yes
terday surpassed what had been expected,
and at no time were there any parts of
the grounds that were not liberally dot
ted with people. Some came early and
brought their luncheon. Others came In
after working hours and a considerable
addition to the crowd came with the
turning on of the lights, undaunted by the
brisk shower. For the weather, too, suf
fered a reaction from the balmy opening
day, and there was considerable of a
wind throughout the afternoon.
The feature of the second day was the
opening of the Washington State building.
The exercises here were held In the fore
noon and were well attended. They took
place directly in front of the Imposing
Washington building beyond doubt one
of the very finest buildings at the Fair.
The different exhibit palaces and build
ings were all liberally patrohlzed. Very
few booths were found Incomplete yes
terday, and exhibitors had put the finish
ing touches on in many places, making
the interiors much more attractive than
on opening day. By the end of the week
It is believed every exhibitor will have
finished his labors and there will be no
detail great or small lacking.
Early in the afternoon the delightful
strains of Innes Band attracted, nearly
every visitor at the Fair. The seats on
the terraces above the bandstand were
well filled. Fully 2000 persons sat through
the excellent programme that was given.
The Trail got nearly every visitor at
one time or other during the day. The
attractions did only a fair business, but
the old-time concessionaires said they
had encountered second days of exposi
tions before, and "were entirely satisfied
wltn the showing yesterday.
Today's attendance will undoubtedly be
greater. It Is Rose day. and many thou
sands of the city's most beautiful roses
will be exhibited In the Auditorium all the
afternoon and evening.
FARM CLOSED AFTER DH
DAVENPORT CANNOT RISK THE
HEALTH OF BIRDS.
Electric Lights Distress Them, and
They Will Be on Eshlhit
Days Only.
Hereafter the Homer Davenport farm
exhibit at tho Lewis and Clark Exposition
will close at dusk- This was announced
last evening by the famous cartoonist,
who stated that the glare of electric lights
affects the health of his hundreds of birds
and animals- When an effort was made
to dissuade him from his course he replied
that the health of Ijls pets was of too
much Importance to risk. He has birds
which are the only members of their spe
cies In captivity, and their loss could not
be replaced.
"On the opening night," said Mr. Daven
port, "we kept the farm open to the
crowds, and I observed that the glare of
the hundreds of lights was having its
effects on many of my birds. The storks
and cranes did not seem to mind It, nor
did it matter to the Arabian horses, but
my pheasants, tragopans. geese, ducks
and Jungle fowl became greatly aroused
under the glare. This wa3 especially true
of tho jungle fowl. None of these birds
have ever before been used to artificial
"ghts.
"Aftr this," concluded Mr. Davenport,
"the Farm will be open from sunrise to
sunset, but no longer. The health of my
coUectlon Is at stake, and under that cir
cumstance, I believe It Is only fair that
the Farm should be kept dark and quiet
by night." t
