This State Should be Represented

'.i " A o!nt committee" of the Directors of
the Lewie and Clark Centennial, Cham
ber of Commerce, Manufacturers' Associ
ation and Board of Trade waa held yea
tterday afternoon to confer with Charles
Ai; Jleeves, Secretary of the Committee
on Legislation.' and Frederio W. Taylor,
, Chief of the Department of Atriculture,
of the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition, re
garding an Oregon exhibit at the St
Louis Exposition.
- Harvey W. Scott acted aa chairman and
.' in a short talk expressed himself In favor
' of havinr an Oregon building; at the St.
Louis Fair.;
' Mr. Reeves and Mr. Taylor described
- the alma and proportions of the World's
Fair and told what the states and for
i? etgn countries are doing to make this
(..;. world' fair. "
Mr. Reeves compared this with other
. International expositions and reached the
. concluxlon that this would cost over four
times as much as the Paris Exposition,
", over twice as much aa the .Columbian
' Exposition and four times as much as, the
Pan-American. It would occupy about
four times as much- ground aa the Paris
Exposition, twice as much ground as the
. Columbian Exposition-and SV times aa
much ground' aa the Pan-American.
Congress appropriated $5,000,000 for this
. Exposition, St. Louis 15,000.000, and the
State of Missouri S5.OUO.000. The largest of'
. the' state appropriations outside of Miss
ouri ao far are Texas.. Illinois and Phil
Jlpplne Island, each of which appropri
ated J26O.00O,
' Mr. Taylor said ' that the displays of
' Oregon would be agricultural, hortlcul
t tural, forestry and mining. The amount
of floor space would be ample for the
largest exhlbiU. Mr. Taylor said that in
tils travels on the Coast what he noticed
mostly was that there is a scarcity of
people, therefore he suggested and urged
that Oregon should have an exhibit at St.
i Louis, as it would help the state and the
Lewis and. Clark Centennial.. ....
. The general sentiment of those present
was that Oregon should have a building
t St. Louis.
, Messrs. Reeves and Taylor leave for
;t Salem tulsmorning.topaythelr
" Salem this morning, to pay their respects
to Governor Geer. SunBay morning they
' will go to Boise City, then to Salt Lake

RYAN AND M'CLELLAND. ,
TORONTO, Ont, April IV-The match
between Billy Ryan of Syraouse and
Jack Clelland haa aroused keen interest
In sporting circles. The contest 1 to
be decided tonight before a local club.
Both men have completed their work of
preparation and appear to be in fine
mettle. l'
MISCELLANEOUS SPORTS.
The Tosemlte Club has received Intelli
gence from New York to the effect that
Young Corbett would not listen td a
match with Jimmy Brttt. The champion's
reason for turning Brltt down wa that
he waa too heavy. If the Callfornlan
wa not so well thought of in the East
Corbett would probably have consented
to a meeting. Jim . Kennedy, Who aent
the Yosemlte Club the news, mentioned
In his letter that It was surprising the
reputation Brltt had In New York, and
it was this that scared Corbett
Rube Waddell and Jim Jeffrie are
chewing the rag over a foot-race which
they may run at Loa Angeles any day.
Both men) considered themselves some
pumpkins in sprinting, and the only thing
hat is keeping them from testing their
speed is the. course. The , big pitcher
wants the track to be around the baga,
which he is accustomed to navigating,
and if the champion : will accept thla
ourse Rube offer to bet him ISO that he
will beat him. Running around the base
refffles judge would be too much In la
vor of Waddell, since he himself la not a
iaaeball plaVer, but If hi opponent will
agree' to run over a straight path Jim
Ha promised to bet Rube to a stand
itlll. San Francisco Bulletin. ?
William Curran of Minneapolis writes
that . Oscar and Eddie Gardner are in
the Minnesota town, and are very anx
ious to get matches. , '
It has been figured out that if Young
Corbett kept all the promise he. ha
made In regard to fights with different
people, he would have to do two year'
solid training. ' ,
Jack O'Brien will take on Jack Bonner
before meeting Tommy Ryan. He will
play'woodtag with Bonner.

It doea not require the eye of an eagle
for anyone to that th march of im
provement is on. There 1 no need of
ear trumpet to catch the sound of car
penters hammers and saws In every di
rection. It to not necessary to announce
through a megaphon that never in all
Its hUtory ba Portland enjoyed such a
building movement es is seen here at
this time. ,
A careful study of the record of tran-
fera and pf building permits reveals some
very Interesting data. Of course the
month of April U only a little more than
halt over and Just what the total for
this month iwjll actually be, no one can
positively ; foretell One can take the
month of March, however, as a basis
of estimate, and April will certainly sur.
nass It. March shows that there were
6C deeds recorded.' representing "a total
value of f97J,448.4, and that 105 building
permits were issued representing a valu
ation of flM.SOf.'f '
The March recotd'of transfer, for 1900
ahowed a valuation of $436,912. In 101 th
March record dropped to 285.903. As has
been shown In. , the foregoing, March, 1902,
la a topnotcher and Is $973,443. This Is
more than double the valuation Of the
transfers of two years ago and also more
than three times those of last year!
Within the past, five days 103 deed
have been placed on the record,, repre
senting $100.Ht.M, or an average of $20,
043.70 per day. This argues well for the
statement that many homes are in pro
cess of erection, for, on closer investi
gation, one will find that the. record of
the building inspector's office show 33 per
mite Issued during the past five" days.
The Improvement In the way of building
that tbey represent Is $92,900. If. these
were all for new dwellings (and 2$ ot
them were), they would average about
$2,800 aplec-the price of an average
dwelling. Three permits were for alter
atlons to older : buildings to modernl
them, while four Vere tor repair.
The permit issued for th erection of
dwelling houses and cottages cover, for
the most part, tory nd a half and two-'
story dwelling with a wide range; In

There is no ueBton but that there
has been a, tendency, on the part of aome
body to greatljr exaggerate the. demand
