W. H. Wehrung, general superintend
ent of Oregon's exhibits at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, has made his re
port to the Lewis and Clark Centennial
Exposition Commission. The report is
very Interesting and gives the list of Ore
gon prizewinners at St Louis.
"In consideration." says Mr. Wehrung
in his report, "that Portland Is to hold
an Exposition this year, celebrating the
exploration of Captains Lewis and Clark,
your Commission certainly showed good
judgment In erecting at St. Louis the
replica of the old Fort Clatsop and
stockade. It was the means of advertis
ing Oregon and the coming Exposition
through visitors of the representative
people of every state In the Union.
"The demand for literature regarding
Oregon's resources was marvelous, over
three carloads being distributed, -which
was done with great care, owing to the
limited supply. A report from the gen
eral survey company shows that a half
more literature was distributed from the
Oregon building than from any other
state building. Visitors generally were
interested In Oregon and saved the liter
ature for future study, while pamphlets
distributed by other states could be
picked up on the grounds by the bas
ketful. Sale of Oregon Building.
"On Kovembmer 3 I sold u.o Mr. Ander
son Gratz. of St. Louis, the Oregon build
ing, for the. sum of $1000. The sale was
Approved by the Commissioners. The In
diana state building, which cost JS5.000,
sold for. $1000. By comparison you can
readily Beo that under the existing con
ditions the salo of the Oregon state build
ing reached a higher per cent than any
other of the state buildings."
The report then takes up the several
displays and states how and In what
manner each was placed. The exhibits
are described at length, and the manner
of awarding prizes noted.
Forestry Display an Attractive One.
Regarding the display of forestry, the
report says:
"The most noticeable feature of the
forestry display was the large amount
of space used In the three booths. The
large timbers In the outdoor space were
the center of attraction and captured
the eye of the true tlmberman. The fact
that Oregon had a log nine feet in
diameter nnd a stick of timber four feet
square and 42 feet long on display was
an 'eye-opener' to the visitors that we
have some of the largest and best trees
in the world.
"One of the attractive features of the
Interior booth was the pine cone deco
rations, which were very unique. The
exhibit of polished woods was of no less
attractive power, while the inlaid wood
was excellent. The polished woods con
sisted of all the woods of the state that
are merchantable.
Fish and Game Exhibit.
"The fish and game exhibit was so ar
ranged as to form a picture not easily
forgotten and which never failed to In
cite admiration from the visitors. The
American eagle with outspread wings
rested on top of the pyramids of the
famous Columbia River canned salmon
in the foreground, with various mounted
birds, squirrels, deer heads, elk heads,
moose heads and many other animals
forming the background, certainly made
a very Imposing spectacle.
"A very unique display was the one
showing the propagation of salmon,
while our razor clams and Dolly Varden
trout also had tHelr share of attention.
The display of live China pheasants was
very attractive and always drew a good
audience. A very large fishnet was used
as part of the decorations, and, com
bined with bright-colored burlap, made a
very pretty booth.
Agricultural Department.
"Our fresh vegetable show, while lim
ited to a few articles, was of the very
best and quite choice. Our hops were the
center of attraction to the brewery men,
and many very high compliments were
paid them. The wool and mohair also
came in for their share of glory, both in
tho fleece and In small lots. One of Ore
gon's fast-advancing manufactures, that
of condensed milk, was well represented
"by the two factories, which had very good
exhibits in this line. One of the greatest
and best-drawing attractions In tho en
tire palace was the free demonstration of
Oregon prunes at the agricultural booth,
where thousands of people flocked to get
a sample of the prune that made Oregon
famous. Wc served about 16 tons of the
prunes. Our operations began In the Hor
ticultural Palace, but under the ruling of
the chief of the horticultural department.
which, by tho way. I deem arbitral?-, we
were forced to cease demonstration in tho
department and transfer our work to the
agricultural department, where we served
on the average 100 pounds per day, and
one or two prunes to the dish, which
meant that we served from 2500 to 3000
people dally.
"The Oregon prune is much sought af
ter, being the only prune grown that can
be cooked and served without sugar. The
growers should follow up our work and
place on the market at once the Oregon
prunes In one. five, ten and twenty-pound
boxes. v c had very many inquiries each
day as to where the Oregon prunes could
be bought.
Oregon Livestock Praised.
"We demonstrated the fact that Oregon
raises as good cattle and livestock as can
he produced in the United States, and It
was done In the strongest kind of compe
tition. Our beef cattle were considered
the' best dn the grounds, and "were award-'
ed the sweepstakes prize for the best aged
herd, and -also first prize on aged cow.
besides taking other high premiums. Our
sheep and goats were In the front rank
and the competition was so close that
second prize was considered as good as
first from a breeder's standpoint.
Fine Horticultural Display.
"The Oregon horticultural exhibit
steadily Improved during the last three
months of the Exposition, reaching Its
"best appearance during the month of
November when the 250 boxes of apples
from Hood Elver, sent out by the Com
mission, assisted very substantially and
materially by the business men or.
Portland and Hood River, gave to Ore
gon what has been termed one of the
very best .and most attractive exhibits
In the Palace of Horticulture.
"By this shipment we were enabled
to make an -exhibit with which we se
cured two grand prizes, one for quality
and quantity and one for arrangement.
Had we been furnished with quantities
of the different fruits in season, as had
been so often requested, we would have
won more grand prizes, and the 82 sil
ver medals received would have been
gold medals." .
Praise for the Oregon Building.
Speaking of the Oregon building and
the number of visitors, the report states
as follows:
"The building was constructed under
the supervision of Commissioner G. Y.
Harry at a cost of $8,987.14. The build
ing itself was one of the most inter
esting state structures at the Fair and
held a very high record for visitors,
36,000 having registered.
"Estimates made at various times
showed that only one out of every 20
visitors registered. This estimate did
not include or apply to special days
like the Fourth of July or St. Louis day,
when 20,000 people passed through the
building, and the register showed that
on the Fourth of July there were ten
pages of 221 names registered.
Educational Work Commended.
"The work of the Deaf and Mute
School and the Blind School was such
as to elicit much praise for the good
work that is being dorre for this class
of unfortunates.
"The seal of the State of Ore
gon, made by the Benedictine Sisters
of Mount Angel College, was a very
striking and attractive display, being
of silk embroidery and done entirely by
hand, while the exhibit of pillows and
other fancy work done by pupils of the
school was no less attractive."
Mines and Metallurgy.
The-report reads as follows in regard
to the exhibit in the Palace of Mines
and Metallurgy:
"Our exhibit occupied 1320 feet of
floor space and 750 feet of wall space.
Mineral cabinets, maps, framed photos
of mines and mining views and blue
prints filled the wall space, while plate
glass floor cases, mahogany and Vernls
Martln mirror-backed cabinets and long
tables, showing the heavier specimens
of ore, including the necessary aisles,
occupied the floor to such an extent
that no available space was left.
"The exhibit was collected from all
parts of the state, about $1000 being
spent in collecting the display gathered
from Southern Oregon, while tho East
ern Oregon part was loaned for the oc
casion to the Commission by the Oregon
Mining Bureau, of Baker City, of which
Mr. Fred R. Mollis is president, and con
sisted of fully" S5 per cent of the en
tire exhibit.
"The ornamental feature of the ex
hibit was the mineral cabin with the
word 'Oregon outlined in gilded quartz
on all four sides of the structure, and
which was used as an office by the su
perintendent. The supporting- columns
were embellished with good photos of
Oregon mines and their workings, and
the terraced roof was covered with
large specimens of representative ores.
The balance of the exterior was con
cealed with what may be termed a
veneering of quartz In the form of 20
panels of ores, all separated from one
another and surrounded by a border of
shimmering concentrates."
Unique Agricultural Exhibit.
Describing the agricultural exhibit,
the report reads:
'The exhibit was surrounded by a
very pretty fence of Oregon fir, fin
ished natural. On either side of the
main entrance by which one entered
the exhibit were long flr tables, covered
with canned fruits of nearly every de
scription, edible and nonedlble, which
made a very attractive display. The
entrances led to the ce'nter of the
space, where a dome 20 feet in diam
eter and supported by eight columns
IS feet In height was erected.
"The dome was 15 feet above the
floor, and was entirely covered with
small bundles of grain placed side
by side. The grains in Jars were very
attractive, and of fine quality, as was
shown by the number of premiums
awarded them. The grasses were of a
very choice lot and were very taste
fully arranged, and was one of the
strong drawing cards of the exhibit."
Summary of Expenses.
The expense summary reveals the
pleasant fact that out of the state ap
propriation of $50,000 the sum of $11,
295.1S was saved. The summary as

HAS HIS RELEASE
Castro Says He Cannot Be
Held by Portland.
GIVEN TO HIM BY DUGDALE
South American Has an Offer From
Kansas City Butler Is Negoti
ating With Rochester
Manager.
Portland's claim before the National
board for Louis Castro will be hard to
make stick. This player has his release,
and It Is signed by D. E. Dugdale and
was handed to the South American when
he was playing at San Francisco. For a
time It looked as if the South American
would play second base for Manager Mc
Creedle. The new manager and Castro
had talked business, and only a difference
In salary blocked the deal. At the time
that tills talk was going on Castro, be
lieving that the release that Dugdale had
given him In California left him free
either to sign with McCreedie or with any
body else, he wired his terms to Kansas
City. On this presumption, when he and
the new manager could not get together
on the salary question, he began negotia
tions with other clubs. Just as he was
about to close a deal with Arthur Irwin,
manager of the Kansas City team, he was
notified that he was under reserve by the
Portland club.
The fact of the matter Is, the Portland
baseball club has no claim to Castro. He
has In his possession a letter written by
Dugdale stating that he was released.
The letter Is written on a Russ House
letter-head, and was banded to Castro
while the team was playing In San Fran
cisco. The release is dated San Francisco,
September 3. 1901. This seemingly knocks
Portland's claim to Castro's reservation
Into a cocked hat, for all he has to do is
to send to the board, through his attor
ney, Dan J. ilalarkey. a copy of his re
lease signed by Dugdale.
In speaking of Portland's claim to his
services, Castro said yesterday!
"I can't see on what ground any one
can claim that I am under reserve by
Portland. Dugdale handed me my release,
and It contains no strings. Dugdale wroto
the notice on a Russ House letter-head,
as you can see, and it is simply a bald
notification of my release. I like Port
land, and would like to play for ilc
Creedlc. but Irwin offers me $325 a month
for five months, and the best I was of
fered by Portland was $1600 for eight
months. I have Dugdale s letter which
turned me adrift last year before the sea
son was over. I have turned my letter of
release over to my attorney, and he will
at once eend a copy to the National board.
In the meantime I have wired Irwin that
I have accepted his terms and. Informed
him that the Portland club has no claim
on me."
Ike Butler Is another player who' claims
that he had a-verbal agreement that ho
was not to be reserved In case the team
was sold. Butler says: "When I was of.
fered the management of the team, it
was agreed that I should be exempt from
reservation in case the Portland franchise
was sold. The only condition was that I
could not -sign with any other team on
the Coast. I have also had a talk with
the McCreedlea. and they also agreed to
this. I have nothing in writing to show
: that I am not under reservation, but I
