ous than the great Empire State, removed

know the value of the Great Northwest,
New York newspapers are beginning to
sing the praises of this section of the na
tion, and the great New York public is
"beginning to grow interested to a great
degree, an interest that will result in a
world of good the coming Summer.
Tributes of the press of the State of
New York follow;.

Buffalo Evening News: The Oregonlan,
published at Portland, Or., has Issued one
of the best annual numbers for 1805 pub

has traveled through the great storms
which have swept over the continent and
the delay of a long journey lias not taken
any of the freshness from the wonderful
production. The illustrations of this num
ber cover every feature of the Lewis &
Clark Centennial Exposition that will be
held in Portland between June 1 and Octo
ber 15 next. The numerous illustrations
and the descriptive captions accompany
4ns these illustrations show very much
matter of interest. The Exposition, for

be opened on June 1, entirely free from
debt.
This mammoth edition contains finely
written descriptive matter going into
every essential detail of the wonderful
progress of the State of Oregon and par
tlcularly the country surrounding the
great city of Portland. Much of the sue
cess of The Oregonlan is due to the
ability and energy of Managing Editor
E. B. Piper and his talented associates on
the paper..

Ing to be a most agreeable and substan
tial affair; that the climate of the neigh
borhood, only five days travel from New
York, Is surpassingly delightful in Win
ter and In Summer; that the energetic
people of the Willamette Valley and other
parts of Oregon are causing the land to
blossom like the roses of Portland streets,
and are making money at it; and that
Portland itself Is the sturdy and self
reliant metropolis 'of a Northwestern
gateway to Oriental trade. The town had
population of rising 90,000 when the
last census was taken, and now claims
approximately l3a,ow, not an Incredible In
crease when former ratios of Its growth
are taken Into consideration. One of its
most creditable institutions is certainly
The Oregonlan Itself, which has been in
existence more than half of the century
since the explorers of Jefferson's time
first descended the Columbia River. . The
only fault which can be found with its
Exposition number Is the undue influence
It "will exert upon the New Yorker who
sees it, leading him at once to set aside
three or four weeks of next Summer's
leisure for a visit to a Fair of such merit
and a land of such charm.
One of the Greatest Newspapers.
Niagara Falls Cataract Journal: As is
the case in every live community, the
newspapers are beacon lights of Portland,
and The Morning Oregonlan has done It
self proud In a special edition of 52 pages
which it has issued, giving a veritable en
cyclopedia of facts about Oregon, about
the coming Exposition and about Port
land. Oregon has produced during the
year $S5,99,557 in material wealth and that
with a population estimated, at 525,000.
This sum is the showing of a. widely di
versified field of activity. With lumber
heading the list, the stato boasts of a
great hop crop. Manufactures are un
usual, the dairy products are large, and
the grain yield is the heaviest .per acre
found anywhere. The salmoa pack Is vast.
the livestock Interests have increased con
siderably, with a large output in wool
and mohair.
The Oregonlan newspaper itself is one
of the great, developments pf that coun
try. The paper was founded in 1850. and
It is now one of the great newspapers of
the West, with a general circulation. It
is housed in a fine building, has a press
with a capacity of 48,000 12-page papers
per nour, and it is evidently serving
well the 185,000 people of Portland, as
well as the people of Oregon, Washing
ton, Idaho. Western Montana and British
Columbia, having a total population of
1,970,000.
FROM ALL THE STATES.
The Oregonian and the Exposition
Command Wide-Spread Attention.
Springfiold (O.) Sun: The Portland Or
egonlan Is sending to its friends In the
East a sample of newspaper making in the
way of a. special edition which It got out
recently advertising the Lewis and Clark
Centennial to be held in that city begin
ning June 1. There Is no denying the
fact that the papers of the extreme West
can set the pace for their slower moving
contemporaries in the East, and The Or
egonlan Is in the lead of these Western
journals.
New Bedford (Mass.) Standard: The
Portland Oregonlan devotes Its fine great
annual number for 1M5 to an exploitation
of the proposed features of the Lewis and
Clark Centennial Exposition to be held

The Oregonlan is enterprising enough to
make the most of. Graphic articles and
effective illustrations make a fine paper
and do good service In advertising the
Exposition. Something over JLoOO.OW has
already been subscribed for the support
of the show.
Louisville (Ky.) Times: The Portland
Oregonlan's annual number for 1905 con
tains illustrations covering every feature
of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Expo
sition, which will open next June and
run till October. The- edition not only ad
vertises the Exposition, but also contains
Interesting articles and Illustrations de
scriptive of the resources of Oregon and
the Northwest. The paper compares fa
vorably with special editions of the New
York dailies. Colonel Harvey W. Scott.
