Drake who had a matter of interest to impart to tho board. CoL Drake was met at the train and when tho meet ing was called to order stated in full tho plan for tho Oregon Bureau of information. A room has been se cured iu the union dejKit iu Portlaud and the plan is to have shelving and tables allotted to each county for literature and exhibits. Tho spaco9 for the several comities will bo of uniform size, so that there will bo no favoritism iu that regard. It wns planned also that each county should furnish a map showing the toHigraphy, roads, etc., and, by coloring, tho agricultural, miuing aud timber dis tricts. These maps were to bo copied iu uniform size aud the originals re turned. Tlio railroads have agroed to carry tho exhibits free of chnrge, so that the only expense attached would be making the maps nud collecting tho exhibits. The scheme for tho central exhibit is backed by a unmber of the business mill of Portlaud, less than 100 of whom have subscribed f 18,000. Col. I'raka urged tho endorsement by the Board of Trade of houso bill No 2.V.I, authorizing the levy of a one fourth mill tax to maintain such a bureau and for local exhibits. It was decided that such nil action would be more effective if done in oK'U meeting of the whole board and such a meeting was called for 3:30 p.m. In the meet ing, the board endorsed tho bill, and issued a communication to that effect to our representatives iu tho legisla ture. A petition was also prepared for circulation. The board might have saved its la bors for the bill was killed ou Thurs day afternoon.

It was represented that, though nearly three w eeks bad elapsed since tho flood nothing tangible had been done toward tho repair of the hidge.
