The Oregon building Is the scene of
constant activities, both official and so
cial. The structure Ls well planned for
all sorts of functions, its architecture be
ing perfect from this viewpoint. Other
State buildings labor under the disad
vantage of having their exhibits under
the same roof, and while this is most
advantageous for the exhibits, it Ls a bit
inconvenient when entertaining is going
on. Mrs. Jefferson Myers, Oregon State
hestess. is admirably fitted for her posi
tion, and the greeting she extend to
young and old. rich and poor, Is genial
and wholesouled. The county hostesses
who take their station In the commodious
reception rooms provided by the state
for every Oregonian's entertainment, are
made to feel perfectly at home by Sirs.
Myers and assisted by her in every way
possible.
While the rooms of the Oregon building
are as large as the ordinary public hall,
every day sees them profusely decorated
with great quantities of fresh roses,
which are sent to Mrs. Myers by her
many friends here and from adjoining
towns. At many of the receptions the
pact week rosea were given to the guests
-s favors. In addition 1o the souvenirs
provided by counties. The Dalles made
a feature of giving strawberries away
at Its reception last Thursday.
Official Entertaining There.
There are always thlnss doing at the
New Tork building, in that all official en
tertaining is done there. The private res
taurant draws the majority of New York
visitors in the ground, and there arc al
ways distinguished callers. The dinner
plven by Commissioner and Mrs. Pratt
Brown, Mrs. W. W. Brown nnd Miss Luce
Friday night In honor of Mr. and Mrs.
Goode was a big affair. Monday night
there will be a reception by the Exposi
tion management for the California Pro
motion committee. Tuesday night Com
missioner Brown will entertain the former
students of Yale resident In Portland,
tailing It ".Yale Night." The presence of
Miss Luce at the New York building
Mtracts many of the young set of Port
lind. with whom she had proved popular.
She and the Browns will remain until
the 15th or 20th. when their place will be
taken by Commissioner and Mrs. Harrj
P. Williams, of Buffalo, who are ex
rvted to arrive about that time. Execu
tive Officer and Mrs. De Lancy Kills will
remain at the hulldlng all Summer.
The Missouri building Is now in charge
f Commissioner and Mrs. D. S. Carver.
Mr. Carver, who Is an editor, is aio the
secretary of the commission. Commis
sioner E. E. E. McJImsey ls also here,
and R. H. Kern, president of the com
mission, will arrive later on. There has
ecn no formal entertaining at the Mis
souri building, from the fact that the an
nex Is not completed. After It Is fin-O-.cd
a 'ormal reception l planned, and
t If probahle that som form of enter
tainment will be given the National Ell
torlal Association, as both Commissioners
Carver and McJImsey are newspaper men.
The decorations of this building are par
ticularly attractive .esnec'Ially the pictor
ial effects done in grains.
Y. W.'C. A. Building Attracts.
The Y. V. C. A. building Is attracting
much attention, and the domestic science
restaurant run in connection with It is
doing good business. The building ls open
to the public, and there are few women
who do not avail themselves of the con
venience of th rest and retiring-rooms
furnished for them. Miss Constance Mc
Corkle Is superintendent of the building
This week Miss Foglc. of Moscow. Idaho,
is In charge of the dlnlnc-room. and next
week Mrs. Anne tSoe Crayne. preceptress
of the Normal School at Weston, will take
her plac.
Despite the. stormy weather of the early
week, several hundred guests attended
the opening reception in the Y. W. C A.
building, and much Interest has been dis
played in events there ever since. The
School of Domestic Science will have
charge of the refreshment booths at the
annual meet of the Hunt Club next Sat
urday, and Wednesday. June 14. the
luncheon givtn by the Multnomah Chap
ter cf the D. A. R.. will- be In the Y. W.
l . A. dining-roomi-.
The Idaho building is probably more
thoroughly "settled down" for the Sum
mer then any other state building on the
grounds. It. Is a gem architecturally, and
the furnishings and general color effects
inside are most tasteful and pleasing to
the eye. Mrs. Adclla B. Scott, the official
hostess, ls a woman of charm and dlstinc
t cn. She is a politician and county offi
i al in Idaho, and when citizens of the.t
state mil at the pretty building on th
shire ef Guild's Lake, Mrs. Scott calls
t em by name and does not have to ask
tbete they are from. She Is ably assisted
ts month by Miss LJda Cox. of Boise.
Mrs. Robert Hayes, of Pocatella. an J

other hostesses will comb to assist her.
Governor Gooding and .Staff.
Governor Gooding and his staff were en
tertained at the Idaho building when they
tere here at the opening of the Expoti
tion. but aside from this no formal en
tertaining has been done. Mrs. Scott and
her hostess, and tte Commissioners live
in the building, having Ideal suites of
rxims and a model dining-room und

reception-room were bought with sub
scriptions volunteered by the women of
Idaho, and are a credit to alt who contrib

There is a happy family at the .Califor

Commissioners has a daughter, and the
other a niece. Mrs. Pardee will also re

committee comes up next week these la
dles and Commissioners will entertain
them. Including one Wr reception, on
Tuesday. Wednesday there will be a card
reception given Mrs. Pardee, the Gov
ernor's wife. '
Things have been quiet at the Massa
chusetts building, for the fact that Sirs.
W. H. Fairbanks, the ofllclal hostess, has
been ill for u woek. There will be no so
cial activities by Massachusetts before
the 17th. when the formal dedication and
opening will take place. On that occa

State Building:.
Among the verySlnest mineral collec
tions at the Exposition ls that in the
Vashington building. Installed by Colonel
Frank J. Parker, '.of the Walla Walla
Statesman. This collection is one of rare
beauty and interest, containing specimens
from alt over the world, ami Is attracting
wide attention.
The gathering of these mineral speci
mens represents, the work o more than
36 years.- Every part of- the world is rep
resented, from Greenland to Australia.
It is regarded as the most complete prl
ate collection on the Pacific CoaaL One
hundred and fifty feet of shelving are
required to display the rocks, ores and
minerals, and even in this large space
the specimens appear crowded.
Included in 'the collection are fine sam
ples of ores from Silver City. Idaho, mines,
such as the Poorman. Red Jacket. Golden

the natural silver specimens weighs SI

weU worth seeing.
BIG STOCK SHOW ASSURED
California, the Sound Country and
the Middle "West Will Compete.
Interest Is general in the coming live
stock show at the Lewis and Clark Expo
sition, and the hearty support of all great
stock centers of the West, Middle West
and Pacific Coast Is assured. M. D. Wis
dom, superintendent of the livestock show
department, made a report yesterday to
Secretary H. E. Reed showing the result
of his Journey throughout the districts
named. The report sets out that stock
men everywhere are talking of the Lewis
and Clark Exposition, and arc preparing
to send their best animals to Portland.
Competition is to be exceedingly strong.
-Mr. Wisdom finds. Benefiting by past ex
position?, breeders and growers know
what to send, he says, and those who ex-

pect to get awards must attain a high
degree of excellence.
"I do not believe local people need to
feel the least bit discouraged. said he.
in discussing the matter. "From what I
saw of stock elsewhere. Oregon may safe
ly hope for a goodly share of the" awards.
e have as fine stock here as anywhere,
and I expect Oregon to come out of the
contest with flying colors. Oregon grow
ers have every advantage, as they will
have no great distance to transport their
animals.
"Everywhere I went I found stock peo
ple' interested In our show," continued
Mr. Wisdom. "California, where I went
first, will be largely "represented, and
ought to get away with a number of good
awards. From California I Jumped to
Kansas City, and found that Missouri will
be represented, especially with Shorthorn
and Hereford cattle. In Minnesota and
other Middle Western States many fine
animals arc being groomed for shipment,
and the same may be said of Montana
and the Paget Sound country.
"Aside from the benefits to the stock
Industry to be gained through the show,
the Exposition will profit to an unexpect
ed extent In the matter of attendance.
The show will bring thousands, who
would come for no other reason. To this
class, and. It is a numerous class, the
stock show Is the greatest drawing card
In the world and the greatest form of ed
tertainment for them."
The stock show opens August 1 for cat-
tle .sheep, swine, goats and poultry. On
August 2S the horse show opens. Five
awards have been provided for each class,
thus making the show a broad one.

Members of the Order Gather From
All Parts or the Northwest to
Celebrate Oddfellows' Day
at the Centennial.
Three thousand Oddfellows marched
through the streets of Portland yesterday
morning in a gigantic parade, ten blocks
long, and then made their way to the Ex
position grounds, where exercises in their
honor were held in the Auditorium. Pres
ident H. W. Goode and Jefferson Myers
delivered addresses of welcome, and
prominent members of the fraternity re
sponded with stirring speeches.
For weeks. Oddfellows from all parts
of the Northwest and Eastern States as
well have been planning for yesterday's
demonstration. .The length of the pro
cession exceeded anything that has been
J seen In the city for years, and tho enthu
I slasm of the participants therein was
, intense.
. The great parade assembled on Aider
street, near the Oddfellows Templo at
First. Between 9 and 10 o'clock the
streets became packed with people, and
by the time the procession was ready to
start, roadway and sidewalk were jammed
witn a living mass of humanity.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, the time set
. for the start. Grand Slarshal Owen Sum
mers gave the order to march, and the
great crowd melted away Into a column
of fours, headed by Police Captain Moore
and a platoon of patrolmen, who cleared
the street.

city, applause burst from every window
and from every" corner. Thousands saw
the procession, and cheered it onward.
Three bands furnished martial strains.
De Caprio's and two sections of Schnauf
fers emergency musicians. Music rolled
from every side, as the human column
filed along. Some of the marchers were
clad in every-day attire, while others
wore gorgeous uniforms of their order,
but they all marched arm in arm. for
they were all brothers in the fraternity.
After touring the city, the parade final
ly came to a halt at the point of begin
ning, the temple at First and Alder
streets. Here it was disbanded and the
members started for the Exposition
grounds. Cars were packed, when the
throng once headed for the Exposition,
and room on the footboards was at a
premium. - Hundreds waited until after
luncheon before going to the grounds,
but many started- immediately, in order
to make the day on the lakeside as long
as possible.
The Influx was soon felt by the Exposi
tion people, for at 12 o'clock the gate rec
ord was several hundred ahead of what
It was at the same time on the previous
day. A continual stream of sightseers,
wearing on their breasts the red souvenir
badges of Oddfellows' day, poured in at
every turnstile, and flooded the grounds.
By 3 o'clock there were more than 3000
Oddfellows and thelr wives inside the
grounds. Then the exercises in the Audi
torium began.
Hall Weil Decorated.
The big hall was very attractively deco
rated, and every chair on the lower floor
was full, and many in the gallery. The
speakers, and the presiding officer, J. C.
Jameson, occupied scats on the stage, to
gether with the members of Innes Band,
who played soft strains while the visitors
arrived and took their scats.
After the opening ode. a prayer was
offered by A. LeRoy. D. D.. grand chap
lain. This was followed by an address
of welcome by H. W. Goode. president of
the -Exposition.
Mr. Goode sketched a few of the impor
tant events in connection with the prog
ress of the Fair, and bid the visitors a
hearty welcome In the name of the cor
poration. His$ remarks were received
with hearty applause, and W. T. William
son, past grand master, offered a short
response in behalf of the fraternity,
thanking the Exposition official?, and ac
cepting their kind service.
During the intermission Bohumir Kryl.
acccompanled by Innes Band, played a
cornet solo that captivated the audience.
Mr. Kryl's low notes being a feature of
tho performance.
Address by Myers.
Governor George E. Chamberlain was to
have welcomed the Oddfellows for .the
people of Oregon and the State Commis
sion, but he was unavoidably absent,
and In his place Jefferson Myers made
this address of welcome. Mr. Myers told
the audience of the state appropriation
for the" Exposition, and how the provi
sions of the act had been carried out. His
ppeech was responded to by E. M. Rands,
of Washington. After the clops of the
exercises. Innes" Band played selections
from "The "Serenade," by Victor Herbert.
After the exercises had come to a close,
