DESERVING ATTENTION.
'It. has been recently alleged in the
columns of the local papers that there
is a lack of effectiveness in advertis
ing the Old Oregon Country and the
Lewis and Clark Fair at St. Louis.
Specifically it has been said that " the
Oregon building is advantageously sit
uated but that there is nothing there in
the nature of literature that adequate
ly advertises the resources of the state.
The direct allegation has been ' made
that those who visit the Oregon build
ing in hopes of procuring information
about' Oregon, are disappointed in not
receiving what is sought, namely! In
formation that is clear and definite.
Other assertions have been made Rat
eharge laxity in advertising the Expo

year.." Evening Telegram. :
To those who have visited the Ore
gon "building" at St. Louis this com
mentary on conditions existing there is
positively amusing. The people of Ore
gon may safely rely upon the assertion
that "there is nothing there in the nat
ure of literature that adequately adver
tises the resources of the state." But
why should there bel Anything like
literature ia a building of that charac
ter would destroy the conception of the
Fort Clatsop idea. Lewis and Clark
didn't have any literature in the old
Fort why should the: charming idea be
dispelled by the presence of modern in
novations that wonld mar the harifron
izJng effects of a combination of log
cabin, stockade, bastions and cedar
puncheons f
Of course there is no literature there
exploiting the resources of the state.
The character of the building is such as
one would expect to have found in the
wilds of Kentucky in the days of Dan
iel. Boone or in Oregon when Jo Meek
first came here' and discovered the hole
where Mt. Hood now stands. A coun
try which is typified by such a struc
ture -as represents Oregon at St. Louis,'
has no resources to advertise. Visitors

; prominent business man . of Salem
who returned from St. Louis last week
says, the 'Oregon commissioners should
either 'remove the building altogether
and at once, before the rush begins, or
erect a permanent sign in front of it,
explaining that this represents Oregon
as It was, when it was first discovered
that, in fact, we have just as good a
state out there as these other buildings
represent, and this cabin of ours is just
a joke .which is really enjoyable when
once it is properly explained. It was
suggested: totbia critic that such a pro
ceeding would appear like an. apology,
when he replied -that an apology is nec

CHAEGES AT ST. LOUIS FAIR.
The persistent reports that charges
for board and lodging are excessively
high at St. Louis are without a founda
tion in fact are manufactured from
whole clothe When Secretary Ilay was
there he paid a hotel bill Of $777 for a
week's service at one of the .leading
hotels, and the fact has been printed
far and wide as proof that extortion is
practiced there! by those who have the
power. . !
But the. Secretary explains that his
party of six bad eight of the best rooms
in the hotel, with excellent service,'
and an automobile furnished the party
to take them to and from the Exposi
tion grounds six miles away. Mr. Ilay
himself regarded the bill as being quite
reasonable and has since stated public

would have probably cost 'Jdf.as much

now as at any time in the past and it is
certainly true that rates have not been
appreciably advanced since the begin

principal streets advertising meals at
fifteen cents and rooms can be had at
reasonable rates. These reports . are

something ; like a year. The Federal

A DISTINGUISHED FAMILY.
At the Republican national conven
tion to assemble in Chicago this week,
President Roosevelt will be nominated
by acclamation. What ' the platform
will contain is in substanee now known,
since the Republican j party stands for
fundamental principles looking toward
governmental stability and progress
along conservative lines. The only im
portant action to be taken concerning
which there is an element of uncertain
ty, is the selection of a candidate for
Vice President, though! the trend of
pnblie opinion sets so strongly toward
Senator Fairbanks, of Indiana, as the
successful man, that a few words as to
his history will bo interesting at' this
time. -
t
The first American ancestor of the
-
Senator was Jonathan- "Fairebankc,"
born in England before 1600 and who
came to the United States in 1633, lived
in Boston three years and then settled
iiFDedham, signingj'the Covenant when
the town was named. Between bim and
the Senator are seven generations. The
father of the distinguished Indianan
was Loriston N. Fairbanks, born in
Barnard, Vermont, May 24th, 1824; his
father was Luther Fairbank, born in
Swanzey, New Hampshire, September
10th, 1780; his father was Capt. Luther
Fairbank, born in Lancaster, Mass.;
"baptized July 15th, 1755;" his father
was Deacon Joshua Fairbank, born in
Lancaster, ' Mass., and baptized March
14th, 1714 j Tiis father, was Capt. Jabez
Fairbank, born in Lancaster "8: 11:
1670," according to" the inscription on
his tombstone; his father was Jonas
Fairbanks, born in England and came
to America, with his parents, Jonathan
Fairebanke and his wife, Grace uee, in
1633. i . J ;. tsi?l
. In 1652 Jonas Fairbank was fined for
wearing '.'great boots" before he was
worth 200 pounds, which was contrary
to a sumptuary regulation ordered by
the government of ; Massachusetts in
1651-. He was killed, with his son
Joshua, by the Indians In 1676.
It ia probably not generally known
that the celebrated Fairbanks scales are
the invention of two uncles oi the Sen
ator, Erastus and Thaddeus, ; who es
tablished a small iron foundry in Ver
mont in 1823, first manufacturing par
lor stoves and patented cook stoves,
which are said to have" sold welL"

for weighing their products was "to

Way back there in 97, while Wil
liam Jennings Bryan was fairlv ecov
ering from the effects of his First
Battle, of the year before, several of
his Oregon admirers conceived the idea
of inducing him to make a special visit
to the state and deliver a few speeches.
There will, always be good ground for
the suspicion that Milt Miller, the Sage
of Lebanon, was instrumental in carry
ing out the plan, since he was success
ful in his effort to secure him for his
home town in his first speech.
.We should say near bis home town,
becanse'it was. estimatel that it would
require a ten acre field to bold the host
of admirers who would flock from the
four quarters to hear the silver-tongued
defender of the silver-mounted propa
ganda, and it was so. To accommodate
the bordes we mean -hosts, rather
who came from every direction and
from all distances, the gathering was
held on Albany prairie-where the faith
ful admirers of the Peerless Leader who
could not get . within gunshot of him
could at least 'have an unobstructed
view from the adjacent promontories in
the" vicinity of Brownsville. f '
-And the people were there, in num
bers conservatively estimated at 20,000.
Old residenters living on the eastern
slopes of the , Cascade Mountains , in
Crook county, two hundred miles away,
drove over with their entire families,
camping ; on the way, that their eyes
might, even for an hour only, feast on
the; form of the man who had bearded
the Cross of Gold in its Den and bol.lly
defied the. Crown of Thorns to do ; its
worst. Not since Calvary had such a man
trod . the pulaiug earth and the oppor
tunity was not to be lost. All the chil
dren were brought along that the' only
Champion of the People might be seen
in the flesh. The man who had actually
been deified by the crazed Masses was

Bet the evidonce of that genuine af
fection which was universally felt, for

only after the speech was over and the

take tangible form. This meeting was
held at ten o'clock in the morning and
as Mr. Bryan was to speak at the Chau
tauqua grounds in the afternoon, the
handshaking process was , necessarily
subjected to av species of curtailment
which met with the decided approbation
of the assembled multitude. Men bad

their- families to be thrust aside with

Portland paper's attitude toward the
saloons and local option. While the re

this, that no general tlesired to be shot;
lit that Dr. II ill. had held a four-in-hand
that had won. ; This four-in-hand,
he thought, was gool as it had beaten
