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.
