When our commission met la the ear ly summer of 1907 we considered many plans for gathering an exhibit and do ing the work pleed In our hands.

In this way the cost to the state is very great, and in many in stances poor results ootamea. After a thorough consideration of the matter, the commission decided to place in the Oregon building a collective ex hibit of the state's resources, and it was the unanimous desire of the commis sion that this work be done as far as possible by the members of the com mission. Under the act creating this commission the executive commissioner and the secretary were the only mem bers who could draw a salary for their work, consequently the work or gather in this exhibit was allotted to the ex ecutive commissioner and the secretary, and up to the first of December these different departments- have all been handled through these two commission ers. We found It necessary about De cember 1 to employ a superintendent of education ana one ror rorestry ana mines. Data for Booklet.

The aim of the Oregon commission is to make a representative exhibit at Se attle of the state's resources on a larger and more extensive scale than has ever been made before. Oregon received a rrMt ifeal nt mnA from the Lewis and Clark fair, and if a proper effort is put forth by the peo ple of this state In cooperation with the commission she can receive just as much good from the Alaska-Yukon-Pa-cafio exposition, but if these erroneous statements are to be continued by the Oregonian it will not only be expensive to the state, but bring about a feeling that prevents harmony in our work.

The prin cipal and interest amounts to approxi mately $17,000. . The jurors, who have been hearing evidence for a week, decided: that M Kamm should ray the amount sued for in full, including Interest. Do Fat FolksWorry? Most thin people would sayvno.
