THE state fair will noon be a thing
of ilie past, ami with it the spe
cial day programs, the concerts,
the races, the banquets, the exhibits
ami all the otiier gay events, which
tailed forth throngs of folk by auto
mobile and train, by street car and
jitney. A Kaleidoscopic array of rapid-
transit memories will be all that re
main. And because of these countless
fur festivities, society ban, bo to apeak,
drawn the blinds, closeted' the bridge
tables and turned the key in the latch,
wane it motoreu to tno fair and en
tertained on the fly the many out-of-towu
guests, it is with the fair tiien,
that inl'oriniil chats at tea and over the
after-dinner coffee, nro concerned. And
when the fnir is discussed as a whole,
or as the detailed working out of a
huge plan, immediately there comes to
mind, the personalities back of the fair
that put into practical and visible form
the main outlines. There were many,
many individuals who contributed to
toe success of this year's state fair, but
standing prominent among these is Mrs.
Kdyth Tor.ier Wcatherred, the only wo
man member of the officiul state fair
board. Some have spoken, and others
perhaps have wondered at the evident
touch of a woman's hand, here, there
and everywhere, about the grounds, the
buildings, tne exhibits, ayo and the
vents themselves at the fair, this year.
Jlnt it is easily explained after bearing
Mrs. Weatherred 's own statement: "J
try to koen in touch with every depart
ment at tho fair, even if it is not di
rectly uudor my supervision, 1 am just
as much interested ir. the races, us any-1
thing olsc. Jn fuct I visit the track
every morning and talk with those in
charge for tho day.
"J have mado a few changes, I havo
tried to introduce features that would
reach the heart and touch tho pulses of
the people.. Wo will always havo live
tuck exhibits, agricultural displays,
flowers, jams and jellies, as long 'as
there is a state fair, but the novel ele
ments, such as tho Industrial Hoys'
and (iirls' Camps, these, and other in
novations, aro what 1 uopo to make a
permanent part of tho stato fair."
"And don't you get tired!" Mrs.
Weatherrcd was asked.
"Oh yes. but that's part of the
game, you know."
Jt is, Indeed, part of tho game to this
Jive and enthusiastic, person; better it
ia all a game, where people count the
most. Mrs. Wcatherred is unnwaro of
the fact, but she has demonstrated to a
convincing finish that " Personality
Counts," now much, may be, hinted n't
in a certain artistic and a certain fin
Jahed character which attends the Ore
gon state fair.
There aro many things worth while,
ad one Is a visit at the art depart
ment ut the Mtnte fair. There you wil
admire, doubtless, many of the pictures,
you will note thu people like yourself
ho come and go. You will linger at
the displays of china painting and
tooled IcMther, but when you go you
will carry away chiefly the spirit of
the place; that the art department is,
and increasingly ia to be, a medium
for bringing not only joy, but mater
ial help to every person in Oregon who
will turn to it. "There is nothing more

practical than art," says Mrs. Alice
Weister, )he superintendent, "and it is
only when the consciousness of beauty
is born that a business men succeeds
in getting maximum efficiency from
bis business. We want to make this
department helpful in this way. Art
as we understand it is not something
remote from life, something for people
of leisure to enjoy, out it cuts deeper
than that and should be made a part
of all our industries, a vital force in
the lives of all the people who engage
in these industries. There is no pro
fession or work from which this prin
ciple of beauty is exempt as a business
proposition. Take engineering, note
the necessity of gooo. draughtsmanship,
the fact that in all the big men of the
profession the beauty consciousness is
written large. In farming, too, is it
not the good product that is put on
the' market in a unique and attractive
way, that is bringing the fancy pric
es! Is it not, cither things being
equal, the furm thiu catches the eye,
whose house is tastefully built and
fits into tho surroundings, which Have
in their turn been studied nnd planned,
that is worth the most, and if put upon
th market would sell Tor the most!
The consciousness of beauty is un in
dispensable thing, it is in every person
to a greater or less degree, and only
needs a little excitation, and enn then
be trusted to take care of itself. This
department wants to extend itself, ami
to make tho people feel that it is an
indispensablo thing. Excuse me
please " and Mrs. Weister was talk
ing io another.
"Yes, you will have to stand back
to get the best effect from that pic
ture. Tho paint is put on as the paint
ers term it broadly. Jo you like it
from that distance! You do. You
see it all pluinly. It stunds out.
"Wo want to show them how nec
essary drawing is to livelihood every
where "Oh, you like that. It i's beautiful
" "1 i glad to meet you, Your
appreciation has been a help. We
should bo glad of your future co-operation
with the department.
"Now where did we leave off. Oh,
drawing. Wo want to help to estab
lish, drawing in cver .g school house.
This depnrtincut is fur the people of
Oregon. Wo want to reach the chil
dren of the people of Oregon. Their
efforts must bo given place. In fact
we want to give place to every con
scientious effort, however humble it
may bo in comparison with the best.
It is only by couipuriwiu that we grow
at all, it is only by comparison that
the young artists can rench out to bet
ter things. There aro plenty of things
to draw in Oregon; there is much art
feeling, but there is not enough outside
incentive, enough stimulus. Au( here
is where the work of the stnte fair
art department comes in. It is our
mission to work up this Interest, this
iiicmmvo anil Airs. We st wua ut I

filtered through.

" He did all kinds of work, but he
is known mostly as a figure painter.
"That," says Mrs. Weister, "is what
we must aim to do next year; get a
loan exhibit or exhibits, of the works,
and good copies oi The works of the
men who have done the great work
of the past. That will be educational
in various ways. It will set a standard
not fixed, but will do something final,
which will assist people in forming
judgments
"Can I do anything for you! Show
you anything! We are just beginning.
Your nation has been a long time in
terested in art. "
And as this busy and vitally inter
ested woman, and her able artist assist
ant, Mrs. I,. M. Oetchell, carried on
their work of welcome and instruction,
implanting an idea here, calling at
tention to a beauty there, the room
attractive and creditable as it is,
dwindled, and one caught the vision
of these women, a building by itself
where the are works of a greater Ore
gon may be suitably housed: an art
department which is a power in Oregon,
which has ministered abundantly to
tne material as well as the aesthetic
needs of th! people; tin art loving neo
pie in Oregon wiio have transplanted
the beauty of their trees, their rivers,
theirs mountains into terms that en
rich their business and dignify their
lives; anil (dare one whisper It) an art
center at the state fuir which may em
body the art aspirations of the people
and witn them one accents the peo
ple or tne great northwest.
Among the pictuu-s that have at
traded much attention is the Passing
Day tiy Clyde Leon Keller, of Portland
This picture is puinyed in the broad
manner and has much charm. The rift
in the clouds illumines the whole land
scape und gives it strength. Another
landscape of Mr. Keller's, trees on a
river bunk, is very suggestive. In com
position it is excellent. Mr. Fulton of
Eugene has shown n rock effect with
the sea beyond; which is of decided
merit. R. Munrue Milbert of Salem,
has on exhibition one of his recent New
port studies that he has touched up
It has attracted much attention, em
phnticnlly so on the distant light ef
fects. Mrs. V. Webb of Seaside has a
murine of delightful coloring.
Miss Jean Stuart of Portlund had
three water color sketches that were
very well dune, nnd received much fav
orable notice. The camp was a charm
ing thing, und a brunch of plums deli
cute in coloring.
Mr. Thomas a professional photogra
pher of Newport, had a display of
photographs, marines, that wag much
admired; as was also the 1'hoto Art
Association display of "Salem.
Something that received much com
mendation wus a displtiy of cartoons,
tiy Master Phillips, a fifteen year old
boy of Portland. These cartoons are
unusually good, and directly in line

'Miss Eunane Craig, who has Just returned from a delightful month's
sojourn through California.- Besides attending both expositions, she
visited many points of interest in Southern California, and was exten
sively entertained by many former friends, now residing in the southern
stato.
Gill and Miss Edna Jesse were among
tne prominent exhibitors.
Tho pieces mentioned by no means
exhausts those worthy of mention.
They simply came to mind after rather
a hurried review. But ofter all is said,
the result of this yeor's labors is in
the minds of the urt department only
introductory to thut which coming
years should brim;. During the com
ing winter Mrs. Weister expt'ets to un
dertake a lecture tour over the state
to awaken and foster the interests of
the public "Then I want people to
write me," declares Mrs. Weister, "at
053 E 15th street, North Portland, Ore
gon. I want, to help them as I can in
their individual art problems, and in
vite suggestions and co-operation in the
work of builiiing up the art depart
ment at the state fair."
There have been ninny special cen
ters of attractions at the state fair,
for women, but none more popular than
the Textile room, where the art needle
work and embroidered pieces are dis
played. At all .hours of the day ad
miring groups could be seen studying
tho different cases of exhibits and dis
cussing the relative merits of various
articles, according to tiieir individual
tastes. But, of course, there are al
ways certain exhibits that draw univer
sal commendation and are almost con
stantly surrounded by gazing visitors.
Among these, the case containing the
pieces made by women over sixty years,
aroused considerable comment and re
ceived much praiHC. This exhibit was
more thai twice is large as last year
and included many sofa pillows, doilies,
heavily embroidered centerpieces, aud
in fact, represented nearly every class
of fancy work. The display was marked
by both quantity and quality, mention
which cannot be made of many ex
hibits. As regards tho different kinds
of needlework, the tatting exhibit
awakened the most general interest, as
the revived art of tutting is now such
a wide spread fad among needlewomen.
A source of much quiet enjoyment and
productive of keen appreciation among
art. lovers in general was the lone ex
hibit of rare needlework, art pieces and
tapestries from the Philippine Islands
nnd China, helm gi::g to Mrs. William
P. Lord. This collection was of wide
onongh interest to even draw many
masculine connoisseurs within the sanc
tum of the Textile room, to have a
glimpse of that much talked of Oriental
display, w'nich met them at every turn
in conversation.. In the snecinl feature
class, there was ono display to be
noted above all others as the most de
cidedly unique iin,I practical exhibit in
me minding: t hicken feathers which
were cured and mounted bv Mrs
Phillip (l.ier Bowers of the Wabin Hills
This display illustrates forcibly the
spirit of the state fair, its emphasis
upon the value of home industries. In
this collection of Mrs. Powers' there
are dashing wings, downy breasts and
even an entire bird, so mounted ns to
convince the beholder bevond a doubt
that he is looking at Parisinn plumage;
never the once, promt feathers of n I

will soon be dismantled, but only sat
isfaction is felt by thoso who' have
worked to make this department a suc
