big log and rustic building at
the I'nnama-I'nclflc International ox
ponltlou Is attracting much attention
from fair litltors, not only on account
of the departure In building material
from Hie Italian travertine used In
nearly every other structure, but on
account of Hie variety and extent of
products dlaplnyed within The at
tendance at Hie Oregon building Is
about the best of any of the state
luilldliiKN, say (hope who are supiioned
lo know
Klutuitth county's display In at
trading much attention, mainly
through Its deer heads mid grain,
which attract Kasternors and sports
men, but Klamath county people vis
iting the booth all ay that the dis
play does not do the county Justice.
What Is shown Is admittedly good,
but mure variety, say Klamath peo
ple, should be provided 'lo properly
exploit the county.
There Is not a live Huh In the Ore
gon building, nnd many Klamathlle
suggest the Installation of a tank In
the center of Klamath's display with
a couple of the big Klamnth rainbows
disporting themselves to the delight
of all boliolders. When the expense
of such an Installation la mentioned,
ninny contend (hat If not live trout,
Klamath should at least have some
mounted trophies of the rod nnd fly
to show sportsmen seeking an angler's
paradise while In tho West. Klam
ath people are not alouo In endorsing
a tlsh display, for X. C. Ilrlggs of Hoi
lister. Calif., II. C. llolablrd of Ixs

In Klanmth make the kmuo sugges

a potato raising section and San

about the poor quality of tubers on

Is claimed thai Klamath county Irri
gated lands grow from four to six tons
of alfalfa to tho acre but there Is no
display of alfalfa. A couplo of shoaves
roots and all of tho present crop
Just before cutting, would help out
greatly.
One big thing In Klamath county's
favor In Its bid for new people Is tlio
fact that It layu no claim to being a
