Both Mr. Wehrung and Mr. Wisdom have the same reasons for resigning. They have sacrificed their private businesses for the state fair and think they cannot longer afford to do so. However, I shall Induce them all to reconsider, If I can. and believe that In so doing I will be in suring another successful state fair for Oregon."

"At The Dalles," said Mr. Wehrung, "I secured some products for the St Louis exposition, and some promises that will be faithfully fulfilled of a fine display from Wasco county. They will send to St. Louis fresh stuff throughout the summer and the same will be tfone by a number of other counties. "I wish to emphssise this matter, too, and to have the people realise what ex cellent effect It will have to have. the representatives of Oregon giving out fresh fruit neatly wrapped in a good advertising folder. We will send fruit there at once, to be placed in cold stor age, kept during the winter and opened to be ready for the first daya of the ex position next summer. Then aa the time passes there must be frequent renewal, and to do this the various counties will have to be called on for contributions. If they respond I will see that in each Instance there Is due credit given by placing the name of the county over the display."

O. Wright of Portland for the granite shaft, to cost $8,200, and of Douglas Tllden for the bronxe figure, for f 5,000. Concerning the action of the commit tee. Col. James Jackson, chairman, said: "The committee on construction for the Second Oregon monument to ba placed In the Plaza block in front of the courthj?ufemfSt.at Colonel Ganten beln's office, - all members being pres ent, and, in accordance with instruc tions from the general committee, let the contract for the construction and placing of the monument The contract for the granite work was unanimously let to H Q. Wright of Portland, the shaft is to be in one piece from top of cap to base, to be of Barre granite. without flaw or defect and subject to Inspection and rejection by the commit tee. The committee preferred Oregon granite, but Oregon quarries are all new and none of them could furnish a die of such length without going be yond the means at disposal of the com mittee. The contract for the bronse figure will be let to Mr. Douglas Tllden of Oakland, Cat, to whom waa awarded the f 1.000 offered for the best design. Mr. Tllden is a sculptor of note and has done some of the best work In this line in California." The other members of the committee are Major McDonell and Colonel C. U. Gantenbeln.

Colonel Gantenbeln , of the construc tion .committee said today: "The matter had draraed ' alona for three, years, and it was. finally -thought that a - smaller committee, would more quickly dispose of it, hence at a meet ing of the general committee a commit tee on construction was- appointed, which committee.'Was empowered to pro ceed with the .'work and let the con tracts. .

Both Major McDonell and myself were members of the Second Oregon, and nat urally want the best results.

Stilton of Dayton, O., ashateaa In the union depot this morning between trains. "Well. John R. McLean was young man with never an Idea of try lng for the United States senatorship. He was editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer even then. He used to have an office In the front room on the second story, where he kept a cheerful grate fire burn ing. and it was a mighty comfortable place in winter. The reporters room opened right off his office, and his door was often open so that the men got used to seeing him there. One day the city editor hired a new re porter, a pleasant young fellow but with a aomewhat exaggerated lda -of - bin position. After he had been there about a week and had heard the men speak of "the Old Man" and "Mac" when McLean wasn't around, he concluded he was about due for his visit of courtesy to the editor. So one day he opened the door of the sanctum and sailed In blithe as a May morning. McLean was stand ing with his back to the Are. He didn't show his surprise at the intrusion. The new reporter sprawled over the managerial table in a comfortable at' titude and said: "Say, Mac, there's something I want to ask you about "Don't call me 'Mac,," said John R. in his most suave voice. " 'Mao' Is too formal. Call me Johnny." BLEW OUT THE GAS BUT STILL LIVE 7:30 Evangelistic, work, the modera tor to preside. Address by Professor J. 8. Mcintosh, D.

The tone Is rather weaker, as owners of British vessels seem more disposed to accept prevail ing rates; several have taken charters In the last few days. The export move ment of wheat has not yet commenced; while prices In our own market have de clined, those In England nave also gone lower, so we are pretty nearly aa far away as ever from the export basis.
