7n attendance and Exposition enthusi
asm Oregon City, Woodburn and Astoria
rstablished a record yesterday that will
stand for many days, as the citizens of
those three thriving and prosperous cities
outdid all previous efforts in showing the
Portland residents that they were vitally
Interested In the 'success and welfare of
the Western World's Fair, and deter
mined to do their part In making all other
Expositions Justly envious. As nearly 'as
could be estimated thero were about 3500
visitors from the three cities, Oregon City
furnishing nearly 2000. Woodburn con
tributed a little more than 700 visitors
and Astoria about 00. I
Wheat, wool and other products of East
ern and Southern Oregon gracefully re
elgncd from the throne they have occu
pied the greater part of the past week,
their places to be taken by the salmon,
for which Astoria has become famous;
the magnificent and almost unlimited
water power and the manufacturing In
dustries of Oregon City, and the hops,
hay, vegetables and dairy products raised
in the Immediate vicinity of Woodburn.
The lands of the irrigation ditches and
the mountain regions had covered them
selves with glory, and they were only too
willing to abdicate In favor of the western
part of the state.
Exploit Factory and Mill.
Not only did the Oregon City people ex
ploit their factories and mills, made pos
sible by the waters of the Willamette,
but they took advantage of the opportu
nity of showing to the world In general
that they also were capable of producing
something more than woolen goods, paper
and electricity. They -wanted to impress
upon the Eastern people that the country
surrounding Oregon City was also blessed
-with that fertile and everlasting soli such
as is only found In Oregon.
They brought along with them hundreds
of cases of enormous black cherries -which
were distributed among those who were
fortunate enough to receive a tip and
visit the Oregon building. One of the
rooms of the lower floor was reserved for
the distribution of the fruit, and -willing
hands, oclonglng to the young society
ladles of Oregon City, were kept busy the
entire day handing out large packages
containing the cherries. The news that
cherries were to be had free of charge
on application spread rapidly over the
Exposition grounds, and before night the
requests for packages of the luscious fruit
became so numerous and urgent that the
young ladies wore swamped. At last they
became exhausted, and. placing baskets,
filled to the brim, on tho table, they let
the visitors help themselves.
A reception of the Woodburn and Ore
gon City visitors was held In tho building
early in the afternoon, at "which roses
end carnations were given away.
Oregon City and Woodburn united in the
exerclsea of the day, which were held on
tho front porch of the building, to the
Interest and enjoyment of one of the larg
est audiences that has assembled to cere
monies of that nature. G. Y. Harry, of
.the Oregon Stato Commission, presided
vlS chairman and called the assemblage to
order at about 4 o'clock. He delivered an
address of welcome on behalf of the Ore
gon State Commission, as did President
51. W. Goode In the interest of the Lewis
end Clark corporation. Both of the ad
dresses were very commendable and in
voked applause.
Tho responding address was made by
Mayor E. A. Sommer, of Oregon City,
who assured the Exposition officials of
the hearty co-operation of the citizens of
Oregon City and Woodburn in the great
movement of making for the Fair a name
that will stand for ages. Mrs. Eva Em
ery Dye, author of "The Conquest," also
delivered a eulogy on Oregon. Mrs. Dye
made a deep and lasting Impression on
her listeners, as she told about the beau
ties and advantages of Oregon and the
hardships that were endured by the
sturdy pioneers, who first settled and
tilled the soli of this state. Thero -were
a vocal nolo by Miss Imogen Harding and
& piano solo by MIps Veda Williams, both
of Oregon City. Tho solos "were appre
elated and applauded by the audience, as
the young ladles" are talented musicians
and tho renditions were excellent and
particularly appropriate.
State Senator George C. Brownell "was
the next speaker, delivering an eloquent
address on John McLoughlln, the famous
pioneer, and the part Oregon City played
in the early development of Oregon and
the establishing of the provisional gov
eminent in the early days. He said that
while Oregon City -was an old town it was
etlll young and that it was an Important
factor in the present and future develop
ment of Oregon. "Oregon City Is by far
tho greatest manufacturing center In the
state." said Senator Brownell. "We have
a pulp mill that employs fully 800 men,
and a woolen mill that has 350 employes.
sot to' speak of the Immense plants that
generate the electricity for the city of
Portland. "In the East, when a man
wants to enjoy life he has to play with
his bank account and travel long dls
tances In the search of enjoyment and
rest, he continued. "Jot eo in Oregon
City, as every store, factory and shop in
our town Is a pleasure resort.
Address by W. Ii. Tooze.
Walter I. Tooze. of Woodburn, deliv
ered the closing speech. He said In part.
When Jason Lee. the veteran Methodist
missionary and pioneer, in 1SS4 sought for
a location to plant the blessed banner of
Christianity and salvation, which In any
and all countries of the earth has ever
floated ere civilization has followed sav
agery, he cllmbod the lofty summits .of
the Rocky Mountains, preached that
memorable sermon at Fort Hall In 1E3
the first ever delivered In old Oregon
traversed we great imana empire, exam
Ined the country. Its resources and nossi
blUties, and down the majestic Columbia
juver. witn its unsurpassed scenery and
magnificent waterfalls: he tarried for a
moment at ancouver. Wash. Not yet
had he found the promised land
for -which he so anxiously sought.
He pursued his way alone the Wlll&metia
River, and In Marion County, near our
capital city of Salem, established the first
great mission in Oregon. The accuracy
of his Judgment and tho brilliancy of his
conclusions have been fully proven by the
test of the development of our resources
lor over o years.
When necessary to take a decided ac
tion in the formation of a provisional
government, at historic Champoeg, In
Marlon County, on that memorable day
of May 2, ISIS, tho noble pioneers of the
Willamette Valley met: the bloodless pat
riotic battle was fought, and the resplend
ent luster or the fa tars ana btnpes forever
given precedence throughout this magnifi
cent commercial empire of the West over
the banner of any other nation of the
earth. We have the distinction of ha"lng
as our distinguished and honored neigh
bor, Hon. i x. Mattblcux, the sole sur
vivor of this memorable assembly at
Champoeg on May 2. ISC
When the Commonwealth of Oregon de
cided permanently to locate the capital
of the state, but one place received serious
consideration, .Marion county, une omy
regret upon the part of our citizens of
Oregon is that it ought to have been lo
cated at Woodburn. the Queen City of
French Prairie, the modern Garden of
Eden of the Pacific Coast,
woodburn has a. population of nearly
2000. a splendid graded school and
churches of all denominations. Fraternal
orders of prominence are fully represent
ee:, we nave a complete electric ngnt
and water system; also one of the best
newspapers In the state, a thoroughly
equipped new foundry, an ice plant, steam
laundry, bottling works, ax-handle fac
tory and the greatest nursery In Oregon.
Our shipments during the past year were:
600.000 pounds of flour and craln: LO00.O00
pounds of hay; 1.O00.C00 pounds of hops;
2.0CO.O00 pounds of potatoes: fruit, vege
tables and livestock representing a vast
sum. Poverty within our midst Is un
known, to the stronger wjtnin our gates
the glad hand is at all hours extended,
and no tips required. During the past 12
months 100 buildings have been erected, at
a cost of $109,000. and our progress in de
velopment Is but the dawn of greater ad
vancement In all lines. The educational.
religious and moral condition of our city
cannot be duplicated anywhere through
out this boundless West.
It is our oroud nrmiegc to say that in
185S, when the National call to arms was
sounded, at woodburn. company .M, lea
by its brave and gallant Captain, instant
ly responded to the call ot home and flag
and country. The banker, clerk, mcr-
cnant ana city omciai uirew a own me
intricate business devolving upon them
at home; icit wile, cnnaren. relatives,
friends, homes and sweethearts and
turned their faces toward the Orient. In
the hands of tho men of Company M that
old flag, so loved and revered, never
trailed In the dust of even momentary
defeat. Out yonder in your beautiful cem
etery lies the dust of some of these, our
country's noble defenders. For ages shall
that monument erected over their silent
graves be kissed by the fading crimson
rays of the setting sua and watered by
the pearly, gentle dews of heaven through
the limitless cycle of the vears to come.
But through all time and upon all the
battlefields of life and fate -we can never
forget the loyalty of their devotion and
the magnificent splendor of their courage.
What I have said of this splendid com
pany may well be reiterated and empha
sized In paying tribute to Stevens Post ot
the Grand Army of the Republic in our
city, and the pioneers and Indian War
veterans, through whom we have inher
ited this precious legacy of this, the most
wonderfully productive country In all the
world, and with undeveloped resources
and possibilities second to no other local
ity in the State of Oregon.

Draymen Make Complaint.
Draymen who have been complaining
about the order excluding heavy vehicles
from the Exposition grounds laid their
grievances before the State Commission
yesterday afternoon. A committee wait
ed on the commission and asked that the
order Issued by the corporation excluding
them be canceled. The commission mem
bers could not see the matter In the
same light, and informed the committee
that the question was one resting entirely
with the corporation. It was, further
more, given as the commission's senti
ment that heavy vehicles, other than au
tomobile drays, should not be allowed to
cut up the graded boulevards of the Ex
position grounds.

EXPOSITION.
A
SE
TILE AMERICAN 1NX AT IiEWIS
AND CLARK EXPOSITION.
A Modern High-Glass Hotel Provld
vldlng Every Comfort and
Convenience.
The American Inn is probably the
greatest enterprise of a substantial
character that has been inaugurated
since the advent of the Lewis and
Clark Exposition. This Immense un
dertaking which has been brought to
a most happy consummation 13 a mon
ument to the business, ability of wom
en, as It was planned and Is now' man
aged by Mrs, J. T. McCready, one of
the most successful caterers to the
public in the United States.
Tho American Inn 13 located inside
the grounds on one of the most beau
tiful sites that It is possible to imag
ine. With Willamette Heights as a
background. Guild's Lake on the front
and slde3. with its numerous pleasure
craft and other attractions, lofty
mountain peaks in the distance, it Is an
Ideal location unsurpassed anywhere
In the United States. People who have
visited the St. Louis Exposition must
not compare the Inside Inn at that
city with tho American Inn at Port
land, as Mrs. McCready wishes It dis
tinctly understood that she was not
the owner, as some people, think, of
the Inside Inn at St. Louis. The Amer
ican Inn is so much superior in evry
respect to the Inside Inn at St. Louis
that comparison in any way is out of
the question.
The American Inn has a frontage of
330 feet and u. depth of 450 feet- It can
accommodate comfortably 1150 guests.
The large dining-rooms will seat 1000
people. Two hundred and twenty em
ployes minister to the wants of Its
patrons. One hundred rooms have
baths in connection. A broad veranda
surrounds tho building, -where, seated
fn a comfortable rocking chair, an un
obstructed view of tho fireworks can
be obtained. A bllllard-room. tele
graph office, barber shop, bootblack
stand, cigar stand and other conven
iences are provided.
The American Inn is conducted on both
the European and American plans, allow
ing the guests every opportunity to grat
ify their gastronomic desires. The cafe is
open until 10 P. M. A full orchestra. In
cluding a harpist, discourses music every
afternoon and evening. These who desire
to dance can do so at their pleasure. The
building Is new, the furniture Is new.
Cleanliness and pure air walk hand in
hand throughout the building.
After scanning this ll3t of attractive
features the reader might suppose that
the prices would be in proportion. Mrs.
McCready assured the representative, of
The Oregonian that the prices, which
include admission to the Fair, were ex
tremely moderate, and not to exceed the
prices paid under ordinary circumstances
at all good hotels, and never to exceed
the prices quoted In our circulars and ad
vertisements. It was for the purpose of
Insuring visitors to the Fair against ex
tortion that some of the most prominent
financiers In Portland, who are Interested
In the success of the Exposition and also
in maintaining Portland's reputation for
fair dealing, placed their money in this
enterprise.
A carline connecting the hotel with
the Willamette Heights cars has been
built and transfers can be secured front
the conductors. Guests wishing to visit
the city at any time are provided with
passes, which enables them to enter the
grounds when returning without cost.
It would take too much space to enu
merate the many conveniences provided
by the wide-awake managements for the
comfort and convenience ot patrons. Men
tion of the many features of Portland's
great Fair would be incomplete without
notice of the remarkable enterprise so
successfully Inaugurated with the aid of
solid financial backing in Portland. The
officers of the hotel company are as fol
lows: Charles E. Ladd. president; Mrs.
J. T. McCready. vice-president and general
manager; William McKenzle. secretary
and treasurer.
RO CONCESSIONS THERE
COMMISSION" WOULD KEEP FOR
ESTRY BUILDING FREE.
Reaolatloa Is Adopted, to Bar All Such
Exhibits From the Great
Palace.
The Lewis and Clark State Commis
sion took a stand against allowing
concessions in the Forestry building at
yesterday's monthly meeting. A reso
lution, which was unanimously passed,
will probably result in the barring of
all concessions from-'the Exposition's
principal exhibit palace. The resolu
tion explaining the Commission's views
fully follows:
Whereas. There is much criticism
amongst visitors and people of the State
of Oregon who have the interest of the
Fair at heart, relative to the presence of
concessions in the Forestry building; and
Whereas. The Forestry building is. a
special exhibit within Itself and 13 the
most impressive building on the Fair
grounds, .and the presence ot trifling con
cessions tends to detract from the im
posing effect of tho same; be it
Resolved. That the Fair Corporation be
requp3ted to remove immediately all con
cessions from said Forestry building.
Resolved, further. That this commission
does hereby declare Itself unalterably op-
posea 10 me aamission ot any concessions
whatever In said building.
The matter has not yet been laid be
fore the executive committee of the
Corporation, and what action, wil be
taken when the matter is thus present
ed Is not known. It is thought prob
able, however, that the Commission's
position will be' supported.
The question of providing an assist
ant to President Myer3, of the Com
missjon. was brought up and favorably
acted upon. The assistant will he ap
pointed at an early date and will co
operate with Mr. Myers in looking after
the state's interests at the Exposition.
The appointment wag also provided
for of a man to make arrangements for
receptions and entertainments. This
appointment wil .be made by Commis
sioners J. C. Flanders, F. A. Spencer
and W. E. Thomas, who were named as
a committee on receptions and enter
tainments. E. E. Bragg, of Union County and
Miss Ida Hoffsiner, of Lynn County,
were appointed assistant superinten
dents In .the educational department
and will be stationed In the Oriental
building, where the educational exhib
its are located.
The North Pole mine, ot Baker Coun
ty, forwarded an offer of two bars of
bullion for the state mining exhibit
which was accepted. One bar is worth
$10,000 and tho other half that amount.
A resolution wa3 passed allowing the
serving of refreshments in the Oregon
building at all receptions given by
cities. This action, however, will not
make allowance for the serving of bas
ket luncheons In the building. Another
resolution was passed requesting the
Exposition Corporation to place a sign
on all fountains reading. "Bull Run
Water Free; Best in the World."
