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. !
The cost, and the lowest price, for
which it could be procured from a
wholesale house are given as follows:
Bed. actual cost. $8. price wholesale 130

Finished In a soft cream tone with
dull brass handles and knobs, which
also were made by the boys It was a
work of beauty.
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.
