FAIRBANKS AT C E R E M O N Y .
Magnificent Building Erected by W ash­
ington Formally Opened.
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.
