and bent state exposition ever held
in the West.
"All of the departments will liavc
more arid better exhibits than ever be
fore in "the history of the fair." he said,
"anrl the fair as a whole will easily
Hurpass all previous shows. More than
20 counties will be represented by agri
cultural exhibits, and the livestock
"how will be both greater and better
than any in the past.
The agricultural section of the larfte
government exhibit will be a Bpecial
feature in the agricultural department.
It will be accompanied by expert demon

w hich will be held on Tuesday. Wednes
day, Thursday and Friday evenings, will
be the leading attraction. Horses have
been entered from California, Washirfe
. ton. Oregon and British Columbia, and
ii, will bef the greatest display of horse
flesh ever shown in the Northwest. The
J'ortland Hunt club will take a leading
part in the show. It is expected that

tered. '
"The state fair this year should sur
pass anything that the state has at
tempted in this line in the past," de
clared Governor Olcott. "Oregon is
having a most prosperous year. In every
line fit industry this prosperity is felt.
This applies to' agriculture, horticul
ture and livestock development as well.
Oregon farmers have been paying more
and more attention to the scientifie
development of their products. The same
may be said of horticulturists and live
stock men. Oregon's purebred livestock
has attained an international reputa
tion. "VICTORY SHOW" FEATl'BE
""With these conditions existing, people
w ho are interested in these various lines
of endeavor should find bigger and
"better exhibits in every department at
the fair this year, and as educational
features these departments should be
of immense value. I understand that
the general program for amusement
and entertainments will be .of a high
standard and I believe in every way our
great show will warrant as heavy ' an
attendance as may possibly be given it."
One of the big features of this year's
fair will be the "Victory show" of the
United States government, which Is com
posed of -trophies captured on Kuropean
battlefields by American soldiers, and

eulture, war, navy, commerce, interior

exhibit of the war trophies. These
trophies, whicb include hundreds of
articles, from a big trench motor to a
German mess kit, have just arrived in
this country, and have never before been
in exhibition. The captured enemy
Miuipment include machine guns, anti

several kinds, trench periscopes, smoke
pots, and many other articles used by
the Germans. By their side will be
