HOTEL PORTLAND The Finest Hotel in the Northwest Portland: oregon. By W. H. Wehrun. St. Louis, Aug. J, Although 2000 miles from home and handicapped by a comparatively small state appropri ation, Oregon has an exhibit at St. Louis that would be a credit to any atate In the union. The various depart ments are under the charge of cap able superintendents and all the dis plays have been Installed In such (in attractive manner that they never fall to Interest world', fair visitors. Never before have such disad vantages been overcome In securing the state exhibit, and never before In the history of Oregon's participation In American expositions have the efforts of those In charge of the showings been crowned with such success as has been attained at the Louisiana pur chase exposition. Oregon has had exhibits at every celebration held In the United States in the last decade, but her crowning triumph has been at St. Louis, where she has Installed a display that repre sents every branch of Industry and re source existing within her boundaries. Oregon's displays are divided Into six departments exclusive of the state building, which contains no exhibits other than those generally placed In state structures. These six depart ments are mining, educational, agricul tural, horticultural, forestry and fish and game. Each of these exhibits is In its respective exhibit palace. The Oregon building Itself Is one of the most Interesting state structures at the fair, and holds a high record for visitors, nearly 10,000 having regis tered since the opening day. It was built at a cost of $10,000 and is a rep Ilea of Fort Clatsop, the first building erected on the Pacific coast by Amer ican cltlsens, being constructed by the great explorers, Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, on the seashore In northwestern Oregon, a little more than 100 miles from the place where the city of Portland Is now located. Lewis and Clark started on their long journey to the Pacific ocean from St. Louis In 1804, and, after spending one winter on their way, reached Oregon and the mouth of the Colum bia river in 1805. They built Fort Clatsop in that year and used It as a dwelling and defense against the Indians during the winter of 1805-6, starting on their return trip to the states in the sprung of 1806. In consideration of the fact that Portland Intends to celebrate the cen tennial of this memorable Journey by the Lewis and Clark exposition In the summer of 1905, the Oregon state com mission, which has charge of the state exhibits, both at St. Louis and at Port land, decided to erect at St. Louis as the state building a reproduction of the famous fort and stockade. The original, built so many years ago, has of course long since crumbled away, and the only thing that now remains to remind the seaside visitors of the presence of Lewis and Clark Is a salt cairn used by the explorers to evapor ate sea water to procure table salt This pile of boulders has been fenced In and will be properly cared for by the Oregon Historical Society. The Oregon building Is made of fir and pine logs bought all the way from Oregon, and is the first state build ing this western commonwealth has ever had at any exposition. The In terior Is finished In beautiful native woods fir, pine, larch, spruce and cedar and the long fine grain and the absence of ugly knots in the planking never fail to elicit favorable comment from visitors who. know good lumber when they meet it. Realizing that the St. Louis exposition would be the greatest fair the world has ever seen, or probably ever will see, and that this would be the first time the state was represented by a building of her own, the commission has taken pains to erect a building to contain features of interest. That this idea has been car rled out Is attested by the large crowds that have thronged the Oregon build ing ever since opening day. The main room is filled with mag nificent views of Oregon's Justly famed scenery, Indian robes and other ar ticles of Interest One side is com pletely filled by a large fireplace that can accommodate cordwood with ease. Directly over the fireplace is a 15-foot panorama of Portland, the exposition city of 1905, showing snow-capped peaks and the beautiful Willamette river and the surrounding country. In addition to the main reception room there are four office rooms which also contain interesting articles from Oregon. In the rear is a stockade 100 feet square, with bastions at the two outer corners. The nearest exhibit to the state building is the mining display In the south corner of the palace of mines and metallurgy. This display Is the beat mining exhibit ever got together by the state and represents Oregon's mining industry In the most complete manner. The most important and Interesting part of the display In the mining pal ace Is the pure gold showing, A large gold brick from an eastern Oregon mine weighs 6S ounce, and I. worth. III an ounce. It Isn't the kind of gold brick you read about, either; It's pure gold and Is valued at close to 11200. Tthert are several thousand dollars' worth of pure gold In smaller pieces and In dust, and Ave- thousand dollars' worth of 75 per cent gold quarts, worth 115 an, ounce. It Is within the lost few years only that Oregon', mines have reached a high stage of development, and this Is the first opportunity mine owners have had of showing how extensive are the mineral resources of the state. Dis plays of Iron, silver, copper, cinnabar from which mercury Is extracted, kao lin from which porcelain la made, as bestos, cobalt, tin, nickel, sine and a dosen other Interesting minerals are on display for visitor.' Inspection. The educational exhibit embraces many bound volumes of school work, pictures of all types of public and private learning Institutions In the state and examples of manual training. All of the display ranks high with other states and shows that work done by Oregon students Is as good as work done by students In any part of the country. The exhibit Is tastily In stalled, and particular pains have been taken to make It attractive. The forestry, fish and game displays are better at St. Louis than they were at Chicago. In fact, the Oregon for estry exhibit at Chicago had practi cally no large logs or timbers, while at St, Louis the state boants the lurgest on the grounds. A fir log SO feet long and nine feet six Inches through at the butt Is one of the features. This log Is one of seven cut from the same tree, which contained something more than 40,000 feet B. M. of lumber. The tree grew at Blind Slough, Clatsop county, and stood 200 feet to the first limb, rather large In the eyea of the easterners, but nothing unusual In Oregon. Another feature Is a squared timber, four feet by four at the end, and 42 feet long. Then there are some big cedar blocks from North Bend, Coos county, cut by the Simpson Lum ber Company. All these big sticks are In the out side forestry exhibit, while the display of polished woods is Inside, along with the fish and game exhibits. The latter show every variety of game bird in Oregon, including bob white, several kinds of quail, grouse, partridge, ptar migan, prairie chickens, suge hens, Or egon pheasants and the beautiful ring necked pheasant, which a few years ago was Imported from China and Is now the most plentiful game bird In Oregon. Salmon In glass Jars and bot tles showing the various stages In the development of the fish from the egg are also shown. Probably the finest collection of grains and grass In the piilace of ag rlculture Is in the Oregon display. In addition to this display, there Is a mag nificent collection of edible and non edible fruit in bottles, hops in bales, and other farm products. The horticultural display, which is closely associated with the agricultural showing, has become famous on ac count of the dally demonstrations of Oregon prunes, which are cooked with out sugar and served cold. They are said to be the finest prunes grown In the United States, and thousands of pounds of them are shipped to France every year, where they are repacked and sent back to America to command fancy prices. A recent report of an American consular agent In the In terior of France calls attention to this extensive practice on the part of the wily Frenchman. Oregon Is also Justly famed a. the Lang of the Big Red Apple," and her showing along this line Is also good. Last year the state shipped 60 carloads of this fruit, and It will produce even a larger crop this year. Oregon cherries are now on display. One of the cherry judges who recently passed by the exhibit sampled the Blng and Black Republican and an nounced that they were the finest cher ries he had ever seen. In Missouri the Black Republican Is known as the Oregon, because It was originated in the western state. The Blng Is also a native of Oregon. Taking all in all, Oregon has an exhibit of which her people should be proud. Her displays do her credit at this great exposition and attract universal attention. The state will receive great benefit from the fair, and the money appropriated for the exhibits will bring manifold re turns to the people of Oregon.
