States and territories of the United States are to be represented at the Panama-Pa-clflo international exposition on a far greater scale than they have been seen at any former exposition. " The ap propriations that have been made for the 39 which, eight months before the opening date, have decided to have a part in celebrating the completion of the Panama canal, range from the $1, 100,000 of New York to the commen surate amounts of the newer states. Visitors who come to the exposi tion from these 39 - states and terri tories will not find themselves in a strange wonderland of 635 acres with no homelike place to adopt as head quarters. The man or woman from Massachu setts will find a duplicate of the state- house in Boston, and the Bucaeyes also will find the state capitol at Co- grounds and offering to each a hos- Augut lT-22 Seattle.

The Hoosier is to find an attrac tive, comfortable and typical Indiana residence fitted t with Indiana prod ucts, from the Bedford stone of the fireplace to the books or the well filled library. New Yorkers will find their expo sition home to be a mansion worthy a place on Fifth avenue. It will be complete in all appointments, from the governor's private suite to the 83000 equipment for the most modern of modern kitchens. President Woodrow Wilson, along with other New Jersey ians, will find headquarters in8 a careful reproduc tion of the Trenton barracks, which were the headquarters for George Washington just prior to his famous crossing of the Delaware to surprise r.the Hessians at their Christmas rev els. California Building largest. But If the visitor, by chance, may be from some state that has not ap propriated for headquarters and a place to exhibit the products of the state, there need be no apprehension as to a host building. The California building answers this purpose. This building, when furnlsned and' fitted with displays, will represent an out lay of $2,000,000, and will be the larg est state building ever built for any exposition and will be the second larg. est building on the exposition grounds, The California building, like an oth ers, will have an exterior of Imitation Travertine marble.

Oregon Building la TJnlq.ua. The Oregon building is one of the grounds. It has an .attractive site, most unique in the exposition facing the bay and just opposite the New York building and by the side of the New Jersey structure. Oregon has appropriated $176,000 for participation and enough of this sum has been put into the construction of the building to insure a creditable showing. . The building Is of the gen eral style of the Parthenon and in stead of the marble pillars the 16 columns on the north and south sides and the 10 at each end are of gigantic Oregon logs. All of the timber that has gone into the construction of the building was sent from the Oregon forests and was sawed and planed on the site. Another distinction is given to Oregon by the fact that the tallest flag pole in the world stands on the Oregon site as the gift of the citizens of Astoria. The pole carries a 46-foot flag. The queen of the Portland Rose Festival and her maids were present at the flag raising and after an inter esting program planted an Oregon rose bush, with a pretty ceremony.

Mrs. Nannie Randolph Heath, of Virginia, who Is to be Virginia hostess, will loan to Virginia this fur niture. The furniture has been in her possession and the families of the Heaths, Lees and Randolphs for gen erations. Virginia has appropriated $40,000 to be spent on the building. The distinction of being the first completed state building came to Idaho, and this pretty structure was formally dedicated on May 14. The Idaho appropriation is $100,000. Idaho also started a custom that has met with favor from the other states in the appointing of an official hostess Among the other states that have had their plans prepared, for state buildings and many of which have been begun, are: Illinois, with an ap propriation or $300,000; Nevada, $100, 000; North Dakota, with $36,000 being spent on the buildin; Pennsylvania, with an appropriation of $300,000 Washington, with an appropriation of I7&,000: Wisconsin, with $20,000 on the building; Kansas, with an appro priation of $40,000; New Jersey, with an appropriation of $200,000, and Ohio with an appropriation of $125,000. that fall away.'
