WILL EHIDIT RESOURCES of the Lewis and Clark Fair Commission, has revived a considerable Interest among our people In regard to an exhibit. These gentlemen were here for the special purpose of interesting the cititens of Morrow county In an exploitation of the county's resources, and to gut the matter atarted a mass meeting was held at the court house Tuesday evening to discuss the proposition with our people. While there was not a large gathering, owing ta the short notice given, there was a sufficient number of representative citizens to get the ball started to rolling. Messrs Myers and Harry explained that they were making tour of the state, and especially making a strong plea with interior and sparcely settled eonntiesto make extraordinary efforts for a magnificent display of their re sources at Portland next year. The reason for this is apparent This section Is capable of supporting large popul ation; it la practically unknown to the outside world for lack of advertising : the development of thlt vaat Eastern and Central Oregon section la of vital Im portance to the prosperity of the state, hence the great effort of the fair com mission to induce this and other Eastern Oregon counties to gather the best ex hibit possible for the Lewis and Clark fair. Mr. Myers also stated that there teems to be an idea prevalent throughout the state that the fair la for the sole purpose of upbuilding Portland. But, said he, while Portland Is striving for ber own upbuilding she does not overlook the fact that upon the development of the tributary country depends the growth and prosperity of that city, henc her piople are at much interested in the development of the entire state as the people of the various counties and dis tricts are themselves. Eavery county of the state will be given ample space for their products free of charge and everything possible will be done by the commission to make the expense of collecting the exhibit. It was suggested that the county court he asked to appropriate a turn sufficient to cover the cost, which should be small. After a thorough discussion of the matter It waa decided to organize a club at once, as the necessity of commencing the collection of an exhibit at once is very appareat. judge T. w. Ayers waa chosen as chairman and R. F. Hynd secretary, and a committee of five waa appointed by the chair to solicit membership The meeting then adjourned to yeater day evening. At the meeting last night permanent organization wai affected. Judge Ayers remains as president and C. E. Woodson secretary of the organization, Mr. Hynd asking that he be relieved on account that he will be away during the next three months. A. committee of three, consisting of Jndge Ayers, Commissioner Geo. Conser and Mayor Frank Gilliam waa appointed to look after the collection and care of grass and grain exhibit, which it Is necessary to gather at once. So any farmers who have either grass or grain suitable for exhibition are re quested to leave the same in the care of this committee who will forward it at the proper time to the fair free of charge. The only expense Morrow county will be to in msking an exhibit will be that of getting it together at the fair com mission will pay freight charges, furnish jars for preserving fruits, give free space in tht agricultural building and properly display it.
