THE SUNDAY OHEGOITIASr. FORIXAND, DECEMBER 21, 1913. 15 HUNDREDS CLAMOR FOR OREGON" DATA C. C. Chapman Says State Led AH Others at Land Show in Chicago. PAPERS GIVE IT SPACE Crowd About Booth Becomes So Large Police Have to Clear Aisles and Literature Is Carried Away as Fast as Offered. Worked out to the flnt detail through months of preparation In which all of the commercial organisa tions of Oregon co-operated, the Ore gon exhibit at the Chicago Land Show uraa without any rival in the field, and C. C. CAapmao. of the Portland Com mercial Club and the State Immigra tion Bureau, who had charge of the ex hibit, bring? back from Chicago with him a glowing report of the attention that wa attracted to Oregon and her resources through this exhibit "The show lasted 17 days.- he Fays, "and in that time Oregon received front page mention in the papers once, made lead stories four other times and received mention on eight other occa sions. The real importance of this fact la more easily realized when one comes in consider that practically no other Ktata or province represented at the show received anything like that much publicity, and that Oregon was the onlv state that got Into the headlines of the Chicago papers at all during the Land-1 Show." Mr. ChaDman also appeared as jruaet of honor at a meeting of the Chi cago Association of .Commerce at its regular meeting and gave a talk on Oregon which was printed in full in the Iecerabtr 6 issue of the official publication of the association. , Pollre Handle Crowd. "Throughout the show." says Mr. (Chapman, "the Oregon section was one pf the most crowded In the Land Show. JUberta. Canada, and Ohio were on much side of us and Texas had an ex hibit at the end of our aisle, but in spite of this that aisle In the show came to be known as the Oregon Aisle' and mo great was the Interest centering about our booths at times that it be came necessary for the police to clear the aisles to prevent the pressure from breaking In the walls of the booth. "Our seven speakers remained in the fcootbs almost all the time, and almost talked themselves Into nervous pros tration at times, answering questions, tout In spite of this the demands of the jubllo for Information about Oregon was greater than we could supply. Lit erature on Oregon, of which we had a supply not only covering the state publications bnt also the community pamphlets, would simply evaporate from the booth in a few minutea if we placed it out In the open. For that reason we, kept the literature under rover most of the time except on Ore tron day, and gave It out only when it was requested. Requests, however, were sa numerous as to keep us banding out -iiPerature all day long most of the time. I The big day of the show was the Oregon Day. and at that time we sim ply carrted everything before us. Four teen lectures on Oregon were given during the day before crowds that filled the halls, and Oregon literature, mis tletoe and apples, given away at our booth attracted hundreds upon hun dreds of people. Lecture Featnrra Strong Points. "The lecture features were on of the strong points of Oregon's work during the show. Wo gave four lec tures a day in the halls secured from the Land !how and three lectures a dsy were given either by our own men or by representatives of the Great Northern, upon Oregon, in the Great Northern lecture hall The Great North ern was remarkably good to Oregon throughout the show, and not only In the lecture work but in supplying views and in lnnumersble ways assist ing in the handling of Oregon's work, aelped us mightily. "The activities of D. XL Lowe, of Ashland, in charge of his individual farm exhibit: M. J. Dnryea. of Eugene, and C. IL Stewart, of Albany, deserve gratitude of Oregon' people, for they were certainly on the job day and night and did not spare themselves In their effort to kerp Oregon in the public eye. "The Oregon exhibits at the Land Show were in every respect the supe rior of any other exhibit displayed, ex cepting, perhaps, in the exhibits of corn. No one who, saw our corn dis plays would admit that they could not rate better corn than ours In their own state, but they nearly all admitted that the Oregon corn was better than anv othi-r exert their own corn. "As for the superiority of tha Ore gon exhibit in other respects we did not have to depend upon our own judgment. We heard It daily from the Jips of hundreds of farmers and busi ness men who passed through the land show and examined all of the exhibits critically. Ir. Lowe's individual farm exhibit displayed almost as great, a variety of products as the exhibits of all of the other states and provinces of North America combined. Urtnrra' Xanei em Tickets. "The strong points of the Oregon exhibit were its representative nature, the variety and the excellent quality of Its exhibits. N.i other exhibit gave a. display so widely representative of the products of the state represented. Uach Oregon display was ticketed with Its county name ami the1 name and ad dress of the grower. No other state followed this method, and I believe t::t In this Individuality we gave each element in our display much of the attractiveness of our exhibit. "The variety of the Oregon products excee.le.1 the variety In the combined exhibits of all other entrants in the show, and our quality In exhibits was pronounced superior by both visitors and exhibitors. "In another exhibit. I believe I should recommend ihat processed fruit -be left out entirely, for I findTthat people did not regard it with much confidence. Our display of processed fruit wss small in the exhibit at Chicago, and did not attract nearly so much nor o favorable attention as tha displays of home-canned loganberries and other fruits we had. The loganberries were especially interesting to the women who visited the show. Tillman Router's silver cup. awarded by the Chicago Association of Commerce at the last dry farming conference, was a feature cf great attraction to Chicago people who came to the Oregon booth. "Placards placed about the booth celling attention to facts that could not be emphasized by the displays themselves and pictures Illuminated in the booth, were features of great value and attractiveness. Ftax Exhibit Revelatlea. "Our flax exhibit was a revelation. Teople from Belgium. Russia and Ire land went Into r.iptnrei over our dls niarf of retted Oregon flax and swamped us with uuestlons about tbe country where such wonderful fiber could be produced. They declared it tee be the finest In the world. Our Umatilla broomcorn was also praised as top notch' by broomcorn buyers who visited the show, and they told me that the, samples Indicated that a big Industry may be built around this product In Oregon. "One of the popular features was the pen of three pigs which we had to represent Oregon hograislng In dustry. We referred to these In our lectures as the 'kind of Oregon apples we were encouraging people to raise.1 The pigs soon got to know when any one passed with a bag of popcorn and would set up a terrific squealing. Sometimes when we wanted to talk and there were a good many people! passing wltn popcorn, we wouw obliged to move the orgs Inside so we could make ourselvea heard." Mr. Chapman visited the Conserva tion Congress in Washington and was a guest of the Denver Commercial Club while In the Kast. "Not only the land show, hut every where else I went, our slogan, "Buy your ticket via Oregon in 1S15 and don't make Portland your only stop," was hailed as one of the most effec tive pieces of advertising of the year," says be.

IF there was ever any doubt in regard to -the practicability of the indus trial features of the public schools of Portland, the exhibit of the work done by the manual training and domestic science departments of the Vernon school certainly dispelled it. On entering the lower hall, -the Christmas colors, Oregon grape in its glossy beauty enhanced by red stream ers, everywhere predominated. At the entrance of the Assembly Hall the school orchestra was seated and what a sight met the eye I There wero green and red decorations: the dainty white garments from the sewing classes, with Just enough of the finer work from the manual training shop mixed in to accentuate its daintiness. The center of attraction was tha first unit of the furnishings of the new com munity house, consisting of bedstead, dresser, two- stools and two picture frames, made iby 40 boys from the eighth and ninth grades. The furniture is of Oregon wood In massive colonial style, of the Georgian period. !

Many congratulations were showered npon teachers and pupils for the prac tical and beautiful work. In the first booth was the work from the same grades, made by the girls In the sewing classes. This work con sisted of the linen for the community bouse, two table cloths and half dozen napkins. French hemmed: four sheets and four pillow cases, all nana worn. Besides these were garments of long cloth, beautifully made, with dainty lace and embroidery edges. Everv grade had a splendid display. from the fifth to and Including the ninth. In one booth there were fancy rib bon bags, guest towels and laundry bags, made by the boys. One booth of the fifth grade at tracted much attention by the number of colored placards. On Investigation It was found that the cards read some thing like this: "Our first attempt.' and 'TDh. my. It's hard." But this work told a tale of conscientious eitort rewarded. Hundreds visited the exhibit during the afternoon and evening. All con gratulated Vernon on its good showing of practical training and the efficient principal and corps of teachers.
