San Francisco, July 18. 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-

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.

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.

be spent on the building.
