Portland, June 3. — The bonds of friendship existing between the two greatest states in the Northwest were even more firmly cemented yesterday at the Lewis and Clark exposition, when the magnificent Washington State buiding was formally dedicated with ceremonies second only to the opening day exercises of Thursday. The spirit of friendliness which binds the two states together in the great task of developing and upbuilding the Northwest was exemplified by the elo quent addresses of the speakers who rep resented both the state of Washington and the state of Oregon, Vice President Fairbanks, the personal representative of the president, honored the Washing ton delegation by his presence and de livered a short but very pointed and appropriate speech. The condition of the weather was perfect before and during the cere monies, but immediately after the close of the exercises dark and heavy clouds appeared on the horizon, giving the impression that the unfavorable weath er had been delayed because of the respect the elements held for the great state of Washington. Long before the commencement of the exercises, which were held at 11 o'clock, Washington ians, Oregonians and visitors from all parte of the United States began to assemble in anticipation of the dedi cation. By the time the hour arrived for the opening of the ceremonies the exposition grounds east of the Wash ington building were crowded with people. Hundreds of them were from Wash ington, and it is said that there was not a city in the state, no matter how it ranked in importance with its sister cities, that was not represented at the dedication. There were visitors from even the remotest portions of Washing ton, who traveled many miles on horseback to reach a railroad which would take them to Portland. The delegations from Spokane, Seattle, Ta coma and Walla Walla were particu larly large, the most prominent public men being in attendance.
