Agricultural Exhibit at Portland. By T heodore G e ra ld Soares. The following account of the Fair is most interesting as showing the point of view of an Illinois man who visited the Lewis and Clark Exposition last summer. It should instill us with greater love and respect for our state. It was taken from “ The Standard.’’ “ The chief interest of a visit to the Portland fair is to see the country. The exposition management has most wisely made the fair an exhibit of the Northwest. The mining, lumber, fish ing and agricultural development of Oregon and Washington are admirably presented. Agriculture and horticul ture have one of the finest buildings on the grounds. An interesting feature is that each important county has its own exhibit. Where counties are as large as some of our eastern states it is fitting enough that they should have individual representation. It is satis factory to talk with the attendants in these county booths. One may learn the special crops and fruits most easily raised in the locality, the price of land, the size of the towns, the electric roads giving access to the various cities, the climat e, rainfall, in short all that an intending settler would be anxious to know. This is a distinct ively practical aspect of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and must be of great value to one who desires to make a preliminary survey before making his home in the Northwest. One may almost choose the condi tions in which he will farm in Oregon or Washington. Is he attracted by the mild climate, then west of the Cascade Mountains he may find a locality where he can raise the wonder ful fruit that he has seen in the expo sition. Such apples, pears, peaches, plums, cherries, together with all the small berries! Or, is one more in clined to general farming and ambitious for large crops, then the irrigated lands east of the Cascade afford him his opportunity. Even a flying trip through the country by train convinces one of the possibilities of irrigation. The Oregon Short Line, which traver ses the irrigated region, carries one through thousands of acres where the green alfalfa testifies to the power of water to make the desert yield. Thomas Dixon has just told us the story of his escape from the city to the deligts of country life. I have been thinking that if one did not have a fine estate in Virgina, he might pur chase a fruit orchard not too far from the beautiful city of Portland, within easy reach of the noble Columbia, whose white sandy shores and magni ficent mountainous banks make it the grandest of American rivers, locating his farm so that he might lift up his eyes to the hills and see St. Helens, Hood, Adams, Jefferson and some times get a glimpse of Rainier, the monarch of the Cascade range, and dwelling where summer does not burn nor winter freeze and where every day a man may work or play or worship in God's out-of-doors, he could live his life happily and serve his generation and be a part of the northwestern em pire whose destiny no man can tell. Business Prosperity In Pres. Roosevelt’s recent message to Congress occurs this paragraph: “ There can be no delusion more fatal to the nation than the delusion that the standard of profits, of business prosperity, is sufficient in judging any business or political question—from rate legislation to municipal govern ment. Business success, whether for the individual or for the nation, is a good thing only so far as it is accom panied by, and develops, a high stan dard of conduct— honor, integrity, civic courage. The kind of business prosperity that blunts the standard of honor, that makes a man ruthless and conscienceless in trade and weak and cowardly in citizenship, is not a good thing at all. This government stands for manhood first and for business only as an adjunct of manhood.” This is also a message to us in Forest Grove. We need a city govern ment that will guard our business life from whatever attacks its standard of honor, that will not allow to grow up here that counterfeit business, the aaloon, to tempt us all to become “ Conscienceless in trade and weak and cowardly in citizenship.” Here is one among many reasons why the business men of the place may dread the establishment of the saloon as they would a school of gam bling or a plague that would slay their customers or scatter them to distant lands. In a saloon town the business men are not free. You will not have to go fifty miles from Forest Grove to find places where business men do not dare to stand for “ honor” or show the signs of “ civic courage.” They must à A A A A f t A A A A A A A â A t f f t â â l i a â A f t A f t f â f t f treat their friends and those who pat ronize their business.
