of the horticultural and agricultural
exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair.
By a diagram of the floor space of
the horticultural building he showed
thai Josephine oounty bad keen

the building in which to make the
special county exhibit In addition
to this the county would have apace
in tho minerals building and the for
estry building and in the general ex
hibit In the agricultural and horti
cultural buildings.
Mr. Newell stated that there were
but few counties if the state that
had made a larger appropriation than
Josephine and lie felt certain that
with $2500 at their disposal that the
committee for this county oonld
aoonre an exhibit that would fully
equal the best at the fair, provided
however, that the citizens of the
connty gave their hearty co-operation
as he felt certain they would. He
spoko of the preparations that other
counties are making for securing their
exhibits. In hi county, Washington,
the committee had hired a man who
now was traveliug over the county,
securing various aamploa for their
exhibit, and he was alto making a
personal request of farmera, millmeu
aud others to prepare samples foi the
exhibit The women of Washington
aro ably co-operating in the work of
making their county exhibit a grand
success, aud they have organized clubs
in all the towns aud prinoipal farm
communities to work for that pur
pose. As to the standard required for
apecimeua, Mr. Newell stated that the
fair management did not wnnt abnor
mally large or freakish products in
the agricultural exhibit they wanted
only arjrage specimens that would
show the quality and the productive
ness of tho farms of Oregon.
