A freight car, loaded with grain of all
kind in stalk, and sacked grasses, in-,
eluding alfalfa; fruit, fresh, dried,
canned and jarred ; vegetables of all
kinds, bops, wool, fish, wood and min
erals, will leave Portland August 24th
for St. Paul. It is desired that all farm
ers or other exhibitors who have any
thing to exhibit will bring them to the
office of The Dalles Commission Co.,
corner of Second and Washington
streets. Mr. Emile Scbanno will per
sonally superintend the packing of them
and they will be properly shipped. This
action was determined at a recent meet
ing at The Dalles, at which was present
Mr. E. N. Morgan of Portland. The
committee especially wants the pro
ducers to bring in grain in the sheaf or
in bulk, fruit, vegetables, any product
showing good groTth. Any product or
article calculated to interest strangers in
Oregon's resources or capabilities will
be gladly received.
On arrival, the exhibits will be re
moved from the car and placed in the
main pavilion, where they will be ar
ranged for exhibition. Messrs. B. S.
Pague and A. H. Devere, commissioners
of this board, will accompany the car,
and they will have two assistants. Mr.
Robert H. Wilson, who is now giving
illustrated lectures ot Oregon in Iowa,
under the direction and auspices of this
board, will be in St. Paul during the
time of the state fair, and lectures will
be given on the state fair grounds, de
scriptive of Oregon ; Messrs. Pague and
Devere will also lecture. At the close of
the fair, the exhibits will be repacked
and returned to Portland, where, those
in condition will be placed in the
position, which opens September 19.
Among many attractive exhibits to be
seBt to the fair will be several 75-pound
frozen salmon; and, while Messrs,
Pague and Devers are at the exposition,
they will give several dinners, which
will consist solely of Oregon products
Oregon salmon, potatoes, ham, fruits,
brandy', wines and beer. This dinner
will be given to representatives of the
press, and will do wonders ..- toward ad
vertising Oregon. :

circular, which will be sent to
business men and others' who may not

''The campaign of 1896, which prom

the history of the nation, has begun.

"The possibility of Bryan's
has caused an utter stagnation in

warehouses crowded as they . are with

the beneficent era of a protective tariff.
"With these suggestions in mind, you
are asked by the executive committee of
the McKinley Club to assist ia the work
of the present campaign. This is a time
when patriotic considerations are above
those of party. No matter what your
political beliefs were four years azo, or
what they will be four years hence, you
are asked to join bands in the
contest."

If Mr. Parrot of Goldendale succeeds
in making bis airship navigable, he will
not be the first, according to a dispatch
from Victoria. A. W. Vowell, superin
tendent of Indian affairs for British
Columbia at that place, received two re
ports from Robert Loring, bis agent at
Hazelton, near the head of the Skeena
river, of the passing of a balloon over
that far northern part on July 3d, the
airship traveling north and being seen
first during the day by an Indian boy
and later in the early evening, when it
displayed a light, by a party of prorpect
ore nnder tbe'guidance of Chief Gbail, of
the Kitspioux. The balloon is evident
ly the same that passed- over Winnipeg
on July let, but whose it is and whence
it came is yet an unfathomed mystery. .
