THE OREGON 8UNDAY JOURNAL, PORTLAND, SUNDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 4, HO II FAIR GROWS BIGGER CHRISTMAS BARGAIN CHIMES ARE RINGING! WITH EVERY NAIL Million of Dollars Will Be Rep resented at the Great Pa s' crfic Exposition. re CHICAGO The gayest season of the Year; Christmas time will soon be here! OUTLOOK SURPASSES PAST EXPECTATIONS - THE BIG STORE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK Thirteen Foreign Nation Have 69-71-73 Third Street, Between Oak and Pine Streets Already Closed Contracts, and Others Will Make Exhibits. w)A m nVJUm wft The Interest manifested m the Lewis and Clark exposition by exhibitors, na tional and International, has far sur passed the expectations of the most nop rut anion those who are directly interested In the coming fair. In fact. it Is amaxlng to contemplate the regu i Jarity with which applications are pour ing In upon Secretaries Freeman and Heed, and the demands for space, many of which oannot be complied with unleaa . additional buildings are erected. Thirteen foreign nations, to date, have closed absolute contracts for space, and many more have the matter of exposing their industries under consideration and .will doubtless act favorably. Among those which are already booked to make exhibits Is Russia, which, in spite of its trials at the present time, will make a display of its vast .resources, agrlcul tural and mineral. Canada will expend ltlon In the Industrial world. Great Mrltatn will show a sample of every thing worth notice in the king's do mains. Germany, the great manufactur Ing country, will come to the front with a magnificent exhibit. China and Japan .will give ideas of what is going on com tnerclally in the orient Austria, Hun ' gary, France, Belgium, Holland and Car Ion are no less enthusiastic in this re gard, and Italy will send a bewildering display of fine arts. An effort waa made yesterday to se cure from local officials of the exposi tion an Idea as to how much these na tions will expend in exhibiting their products. The very lowest estimate la Z, 600. ooo. Many Causes foe Congratulation. . - Another cause of congratulation Is the plendld response from the states of this nation, especially those of the north west. Oregon, as every Oregoaian knows, is expending 8460,000 on its ex hibit , California's outlay will represent $90,- 60. Washington appropriated $70,000 Far-off New York came forward with $86,000. A 126.000 exhibit was decided Upon by Jtassachusattn Missouri, with its fair just over, will expend $10,000, Utah $35,0K, Idaho a like amount, Mon tana $50,00u. Nevada and Arlsona $10,000 each, and British Columbia $25,000 Those sums total $850,000. all of which has been officially appropriated. There will be represented besides Illinois, Indi ana, Wisconsin, Michigan. Minnesota, Rhode Island. Connecticut and others, although their state governments may not participate officially. - - - for the installation of these state ex- fctnlt 1h. ntu of the evnoait tlon are thrown open, upward of $3,000,- . 000 will be expended. California, for ex . attpla, with an appropriation of $90,000, will have probably $500,000 worth or ex hibits, and practically the same propor- tlnn Mhta In tha aaaaa. of WfaaMnxrtnn state. wi r - an official appropriation of $76,000. This means that the exhibits of the states, after they are Installed, will represent a value of not less than f4.600.000. And when It Is considered that all of this is to be housed in one building, some idea of the yastneas of the expo sition may be formed. Now that the St. Louis fair Is over, the railroads are seeking the officials of the Lewis and Clark exposition and de manding advertising matter. The rail roads, of course, handle only one big exposition at a time. Within the past few days the fair corporation has re ceived doaens of requisitions from pas senger agents all over the country re questing that literature for folders and Illustrative articles be supplied in order that they may properly advertise "1006." Henry E James of St. Louis, who was In Portland yesterday, said that the first low rate from St., Louts to Portland, iwhlch goes into effect within a few days, (will mean the Influx of upward of 2,100 (people, who are already Interested or tn ;tend to become Interested in the Lewis and Clark exposition. He secured this Information from railroad officials In his native city, who declare that 1,000 reser vations for Portland have already been made. Besides this low rata, the fair will Pve the benefit of a settlers' rate, which gins February 1 and lasts until May, tand the exposition rats itself, which lasts from June to October. The launch and gondola concession , was awarded yesterday to the Trescott jBoet Manufacturing company, of St. Jo seph. Mich. The water truffle Is a big 'gesture of .every great exposition, and will be such In this. The company agrees to furnish and operate Venetlsn gondolas, manned by native gondoliers, as at Ht. Lo u is There will be 12 of these on the lake, accommodatlang from 4 to 1( people each. The concessionaire will also operate 26 electric launches and 20 rowboats. In sll of which there will be pilots clsd In picturesque cos tumes. A. H. Devers, ons of the directors of the Lewis and Clark corporation, will leave for a vacation of four months In Germany next Thursday, and during his atay abroad will do all la his power to kelp the exposition. Vun half der vorld doan'd know how It vlll efer get a chance to do der udder half. FOR TWENTY YEARS Sot aa Unusual Instance. "I used Pyramid Pile Cure and have liot had any trouble since. I hsve been a sufferer with piles for twenty yeirs. I think It is the beat remedy on earth for piles. Hoping this may help others to use this remedy," Mm J. D. Teller, R. r. D. 20. Sparta, Mich. It is a singular fact that although many women suffer from piles, or hem orrhoids, they frequently do not have proper treatment because of a delicacy women have In mentioning such a sub ject. Especially la this the case with those who hsve no husband or brother In whom they can confide; and a physi cian Is seldom consulted until the pain and agony Incident to piles becomes anbesrable.

It is expected that every organisation in the Oregon Development league will have representatives at this convention and make it a memorable event marking the beginning of a new era in road Improvement all ovsr the stats. "It has come to be recognised among observant and thoughtful citlsens throughout the stats that Oregon's greatest Immediate problem is the im provement of her public highways to the degree of making transportation not only possible, but profitable, ovsr them at all seasons of the year." says a mem ber of the stats association. "In many sections of the state the roads are im passable four or five months of the year for anything but the lightest kind of rig, and this condition sctually exists in well-populated sad productive locali ties.

HIS LITTLE BUCKET Zeke Oglln and his little bucket are on the way to Salem, where they will re main at the Insane asylum for some time. Zeke and his little bucket were the center of observation at the county Jail and court house yeaterdsy when the man was examined and declared to be Insane. On almost all subjects he was rational, but when It came to drinking water he refused to be served out of any vesssl except his little bucket which greatly represented in appearance the ffchled picture of Weary-s tomato can. But this buoket he carried around with him In a gunny sack sad when It came time to drink he produced it. and dipping the water with It satisfied his thirst. The officer attempted to slip It away from' him when the guard came to take him to the station, but Zeke refused to leave the building until ht bucket bad been restored. His contention was that all other cups were poisoned. He Is about 85 years of sge and was picked up on the streets by the police while try ing to All his little bucket from a hy drant without first turning on the water. PORTLAND'S PLAN TO BE TRIED IN THE INTERIOR The Idea of a prise article contest re cently carried out by the Portland Com mercial club is spreading to other com munities, and It is likely that a num ber of localities In Oregon will be ex ploited through this method. Cottage Grove is the first place where Portland's success seems to have struck In. A fsw days ago A Clifford Gage, ed itor of the Lane County Leader, Bailed at the Portland Commercial club and secured Information as to ths working of ths plan. Hs then returned home and. with a delegation of Cottage Grove business men, presented the matter to the public schools. Twelve pupils pledged themselves to compete, and the committee became so enthusiastic that ons of Its members, F. J. Hard, offered $76 In special cash prises for a series of articles on Cottage Grove, Lane coun ty, snd tbs Bohemia mining district, in which Mr. Hard is extensively interested.
