Of course, it Isn't 9ur,1 fair;; it belongs to all Oregon' and the northwest We pay most of the bill in Port land, (hough ' we shall ." give the people pf every community every indartry, that is benefitted . a chance to take stock in the great enterprise. Ilere'f one definite asset. We've checked up with every tour ist agency that 'knows anything about the west and about travel ing conditions.,. They unite in the estimate that there will he a mil lion, antos coining to Oregon for the fair, with from three to four passengers to a car. There are now 12,000.000 cars in America; there will be 15,000.000 by the time of the fair. The authorities agree tha a million of thest to visit Oregon, is a conservative es timate. . . It will be only about 7 per cent of the cars then running in the nation. More People Xeedl "We need more people, more industries, more enthusiasm, more farms on better farms and more people to eat and wear and enjoy what these farms raise. , We're going to present Oregon before the world in such a way that these people will simply have to stay with us. Wa have in the Colum bia basin one-third of all the by-dro-electrlc power possibilities of t be nation; this will bring the manufacturers and. the lindustr. les. We have the climate and the trees and the fertile soil, these will bring their own deyotees and tho Big Fair is the starting point tor the real prosperity of Oregon. "We shall ask the federal, gov ernment for a liberal appropria tion; it. Is a rightful public in vestment. We shall offer such in ducements to the traveling, pub lic that they'll come here and see ns; those who do not stay, will at least leave some of their good money with, the, state. It la es timated that every tourist into the state, leayea close to $100 here. These"auto tourists will come near paying the-last dollars of our $74,000,000 road bonus. Committee Working Hard The exposition committee is working steadily on the problem of financing, and with this Mult nomah tax measure as a founda tion, it looks as, If the big show is' &88ured. It will be on a de lightfully unique and never-to-be- forgotten scale, when the plan Js finally accepted." r Mr,. Seeiey is a good choice to tackle a transportation centennial. Ho was skipper of a fleet, of river boats on the Willamette, almost 60 yeara ajo. He. ran the Ohio and the. City of Salem, and was a notable figure In the river line of those busy, bulldinf days. He now travels a lot faster than the old stern-wheelers used to travel; but so long as the travel la in Oregon, its all good for him. " . KICKS ED ARE ORDER JAPAN'S JOVIAL PREMIER.

An electric generator unit, sufficient to util ize the whole power production will be Installed. The company is now shipping paper south To New Orleans among others southern markets, and the highest testimonials are being received as to the quality of the goods. There is a vast deal of southern pine available for, paper-making but it is a high ly resinous wood that has to be treated in a chemical way to re move the resin that totally un fits it '.for bleached white goods of fine quality, so they can't sup ply their own markets with the class of goods that the Salem mill can make and send them. Best Goods, Is Idenl The, local mill plans U adopt the general mottt "The beet goods in the world that can be made from wood pulp," and stick to quality production. The white fir of Oregon has no superior, and hardly an equal, for quality production and fine bleaching qualities. The local company does not expect to make news print, or cheap box-board which is a fine product for the unreach able . southern pine mills. In stead, bond papers, writing papers fine adding machine and other roll papers, glassine and the pres ent line of quality products, will bo. staples the highest-priced and best goods that wood fibre will make...: V- ' : P!staa$ Demand Heavy i Manager, Beyer! la especially well pleased ;rjta. the reception the , local . paper, .has had in : the tar-on s.. maraets . it ? - insures a; continuing and growing demand, and the growth and development of the . local paper ; industry , into on of the things of the state. There la abundant raw material fa Right, for generations to come, even in clearing up the yalley lands., 1 . . . The paper mill is now getting much of Its raw material from the ranchers of the valley, who are finding the mill a good mar ket for their white fuel; but it is one of the finest woods in the world for the paper maker, and the price paid is clearing thous ands of acres of valley lands, that must otherwise have lain Idle for a long time. The company Is now produc ing about 200 horsepower from lt3 little hydraulic plant attthe mills. The addition of the mill creek plant will giye a great lift in power production. The machine additions will bring- up the power consumption to about 2100 horsepower. .... . :, . -. , I - rv. .:.... - i " ' ' J Lir . : ' K -' - - V j I U ttt, .--r l 1 . . . . i 1 IX w c It . f ' V ftA Xp'Z r 'l ill ' ) y-:-;-f , if ft U , .
