it was Bryant’s solemn poem, with
its sonorous verse, wich appeared
in the year 1817, that familiarized
the word “Oregon" and soon put it
on every tongue. Various accounts
of the Lewie and Clark Expedition

Prawlsest Oretonlaoi Describe Lack
Proper Display of Oar Resources
At That Exposition.
ot
Charles Grissen of McMinnville,
president of the Oregon Fire Relief
association, and Dr. C. W. Lowe of
Eugene were in the city yesterday
en route home from a visit to the
St. Louis fair and the east, says tbe
Portland Journal.
Regarding the fair, both gentle
men were loud in their praise, ex
cepting the horticulture and adver
tising exhibit from this state, which
in their opinion, in their opinion, is
about the poorest showing, propor
tionate to the natural resources of
the state, to be found at the fair.
Roth gentlemen were agreed to
the following interview regarding
this matter, given The Journal by
Mr. Grissen:
“The Oregon building is to the
left of the place of art, a very fav
orable loeation. Because of its ex
ceptional location, in fact, from 10,-
000 to 15,000 people naturally pass
through it each day.
“Yet, in all the building, there is
no literature descriptive of the state
—except aTew pieces of the Lewis
and Clark Journal, some railroad
folders and some photographs on
the wall. So altogether, tbe effect
is one of barrenness.
“People go into the building to
find information regarding the far
away state of Oregon; and they go
away with a mystified conception
regarding the intelligence they
hoped to obtain. Such is not true
regarding California and Washing
ton, our neighboring states. Even
the Dakotas surpass us in the mat
ter.
“The mining exhibit is very
creditable, but the horticultural ex
hibit is very poor, compared to the
exhibits from other states having
not near the resources of the state
of Oregon.
“In addition to having quantities
of literature, in addition to their
splendid exhibit, the Californians
are distributing pretty yellow
badges, symbolical of the Golden
Gate; but there is not a thing sym
bolical of Oregon Why should
this be so? Why should we not have
at least a simple badge saying:
“Come to Oregon in 1905.”
“After being there ahd consult
ing with those in charge of our ex
hibit, we would advise every county
in the state desiring to advertise its
resources to forward without delay
circulars and photograghs to Frank
Williams, Oregon state building,
St. Louis, and to prepay the freight
We urge this on our people, inas
much as every day’s delay means
th-, loss of telling thousands of
people about the resources of Ore
gon.
“Anyone having fruit to send
back there should send it to Chas
B. Galloway, horticultural building.
St. Louis.
“Another serious defect that ap
pealed to us was that tbe I^ewis
and Clark people are not taking
steps to make known the fact that
we are to have a fair out here next
year. All that would be required
to dissiminate this information
would be literature. Let the
¡>eople of Oregon wake up, «nd at
least show the outside world a
part of the natural ad vantages of
their commonwealth over other
commonwealths.
