ROOSEVELT ENDORSES FAIR
In His Mestage to Congress He Rec
ommends the Participation of
Uncle Sam in Exposition.
Seattle, Dee. 10. Now that Pres
ident Roosevelt in his message to
Congress has endorsnd the partici
potion of the United States govern
niont in the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition, the management of the
l'JO!) (air will carry on a campaign
to secure the early passage of the
appropriation bill. Henry IJ. Reed,
director of exploitation, has gone
to Washington to open up . head
quarters to circulate information in
regard to the plans and objects of
the exposition. Later on a com
milteo composed of officials of the
exposition and ptoraiuent men of
Alaska and the pacific Northwest
will go to the National capital to
present the exposition's case before
Congress.
The fact that the expobition man
agemont has pledged itselt not to
accept a loan or a gift from Uncle
Sara is endorsed in President Roose
velt's message. This, it is thought
by the officials, will Lave much
weight with Congress. The sec
tion of the President's message re
ferring to the Alaaka-Yukon-Pacific
Exposition is as follows:
"The courage and enterprise of
the citizens of the far northwest in
their projected Alaska-Yukou-Pa-ciGc
Exposition, to be held in 1900,
should receive liberal encourage
ment. This exposition is not sen
timental in its conception, but seeks
to exploit the natural . resources of
Alaska and to promote the com
merce, trade and industry of the
Pacific states with their neighbor
ing states and with our insular pos
sessions and the neighboring coun
tries of the Pacific. The exposi
tion asks no loan from tho congress,
but seeks appropriations for nation
al exhibits and exhibits of the
Western dependencies of the gen
eral government. The state of
Washington and the city of Seattle
have shown the characteristic West
ern enterprise in large donations for
the conduct of thia exposition, in
which other states ore lending a
generous assistance."
Work ou the exposition grounds
is progressing rapidly. Most of
the grading for roadways, avenues,
plazas and circles has been finished,
and the grounds are enclosed by a
fence. The contract for the erec
tion of the emergency hospital has
boen lot aud the structure will be
completed within the next few
weeks. Contracts have been grant
ed for four large buddiugs which
are to bo finished within six months.
They are the Fine Arts palace, Aud
itorium, Machinery Hall and the
Manufacturers building. The three
first will be permauent structures,
beiug built out of buff brick with
terra cotta trimmings,
Most all of the exhibit palaces
will be classic in design as far as
modern usage will permit. After
the fuir the permauent buildings
will be used Ly Washington Uni
versity upon the campus of which
the exposition will be held, for col
lege edifices.
The Arctic Brotherhood, an order
composed of men who have been in
Alaska and Yukon, will erect a
building costing $25,000. The she
has been selected and plans for the
structure are now being prepared. -During
the exposition the building
will be used as club house and will
contain an exhibit of ourios and
relics of the Northland. After
the fair it will be turned over
to tho Washington uuiversity for
the uso of students from Alaska
and Yukon.
William Jennings Bryan, in a
letter to Henry E. Reed, director of
exploitation, heartily endorses the
participation of the United States
governmtut.

Anything to beat Eugene?
No, ne....ver.

Eugene Commercial Clubs put itself on record as unanimously favoring
the appropriation for the University of Oregon, as being absolutely es
sential to maintain the required high standard for the University, be
ing as it is the leader of high school and common schools throughout
the St'ate. And be it further
RESOLVED. That the press of Cottage Grove and Lane County be
asked to give due publicity to this resolution.
"Boost shoulder to shoulder for
the upbuilding of Lane county" was
the spirit manifested at the joint
meeting of the Cottage Grove and
Eugene Commercial Clubs in this
city Friday evening. Following an
afternoon ot sightseeing at the
poultry show, the four score buei
ness men of Eugene were enter
tained at the rooms of tho local
club and a genuine lovefeast en
sued. Speeches were made by the
visitors and by the members of the
local club and throughout the spirit
of working together for the benefit
of the county prevailed.
The visitors bad arrived in the
city late in Ihe afternoon. They
were met at the statiou by a dele
gation of Cottage Grove business
men and headed by the Eugene
Military band all proceeded to th
rooms of the club. They made a
procession nearly two blocks long.
First thing in the evening the
visitors aud their band went to the
poultry show, where musio was dis
pensed to the accompaniment of
lusty crowing and cackling. Pro
fessor Dryden, of the Oregon Agri
cultural College, delivered an ad
dress on a subject of iuterest to
chicken fanciers.
Upon repairing to the club rooms
late in the evening, the visitors
were welcomed by F. B. Phillips in
behalf ot the Cottuge Grove Com
mercial Club, the citizens of that
city and the officers of the poultry
association. Response was made
by C. S. Williams, vice-president of
the Eugene club. Other Eugene
delegates speaking were: Dr. Paine,
D. E. Yoran, Manager, Haitog,
County School Superintendent Dil-
lard, and W. W. Calkins. II. O.
Thompson and Geo. Comer, of Cot
tage Grove also spoke. AH the re
marks were aloug the line of boost
ing for the benefit of the whole
county.
UNIVERSITY VALUABLE TO THE STATE
Superintendent Dillard in his talk
had mentioned the worth of the
Uuiversity in the educational sys
tem of the state and when Superin
tendent Alderman, of the Eugene
schools was called to the floor,' he
made a strong talk in favor of sus
taining the appropriation bill toi
FINE BIRDS.
One of the handsomest birds in
the show room was the White Mi
norca cockerel exhibited by Tom
Awbrey, who received the bird
from Everett, Wash., a few days
ago, paying a high price for him.
Tom feels proud of bis blue ribbon
and score card in evidence of bis
efforts, aud be hopes to produce
some fine show birds the coming
season from the pen he exhibited,
all of which made good records in
the show room, and came from
hens with heavy laying records.
E
PARTING YEU
Chickens, rooster
Boom and boost'er
Cottage Grove is alright too.
Who's alright ?
Cottage Grove.
I the University of Oregon. E. O.
(Potter and II. W. Thompson of Eu-
gene, and Tom Awbrey of this city
icantinued remarks ou this subject.
The sentiment expressed was ap
preciation of the value that the Uni
versity is to the state in fretting a
high standard, not alone for the
woik of the high schools, but also
for all the primary schools as well.
It was pointed out that the primary
schools are supported by the coun
ties and school districts, with the
I aid of money from the sale ot school
lands, . while practically ho other
source of income than the approp
riation made by the Btate.
Mr. Alderman compared the
$125,000 asked for the University
with the $600,000 given by the
state of Washington to its state in
stitution. Mr. Awbrey introduced a resolu
tion covering the subject, which,
after being ameuded ' was unani
mously passed. The subject of the
resolution is given above.
Darwin Bristow was the last of
the visitors to address the meetiug,
and Dr. Paine then called for the .
"parting" yell that Cottage Grove
wus emphatically "all right." It
was given with a will, and rather
surprised the hosts. The Eugene
band thereupon struck up "For He
Was a Jolly Good Fellow," and
President Phillips thrw open the
doors leading iuto the culinary de
partment, whence coffee and re
freshments were brought in'o view
by some of the city club members.
The meeting adjourned iuto a
regular love feast, and at 11 o'clock
84 happy but hoarse visitors
climbed onto the special train
awaiting them at the depct and
started for home, alter onoe more
assuring Cott'ge Grove that she
was "all right "
And thus came to end a success
ful harmonizing effort, oven though
it was undertaken on Friday, the
13th. The manager bought 13 rail
road tickets, paid for 13 meals and
at the evening concert one comet
artist from Cottage Grove joined
the 12 Rugenians, making 13 musi
cians in all. But the sun shone
brightly, and there was no hoodoo
in the mauy 13's of the day.
