oREGoN's EXHIBIT.
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 2.--Onc oil the most
lrequented headquarters of 6. A. X. visiting
delegations is that Of the Oregon department.
Visitors throng the large store which il occu-
pies, and which also contains a collection OF
Oregon exhibit. Streams Of people are con-
stantly coming and going, immense flags and
photographs Of Oregon scenery decorate the
walls, and evergreen fsstoons hang from the
ceiling. The windows loo are draped with
bunting OF the national colors. The rear por.
tion of the store is parlltioncd off for sleeping
quarters ofthc Drum corps which accompa
mics the Oregon delegation. The corps is COM
posed of sons OF members Of the G.. A. r.,
and numbers sixteen. They everywhere at
tract much attention, both by their appear
ancc and proficiency. The Oregon delegation
is justly extremely proud Of It's protegcs, and
speaks Of them in the same way as it docs Of
other valuable and admirable products Of
Oregon.
The whole drum corps, in charge Of one Of
the members OF the Oregon department, paid
a visit to the Golden Gate park yesterday, and
had thoroughly enjoyable time. To-day
under similar protection, they were taken to
Woodward's gardens, and spent the greater
portion Of the day there.
Although Oregon is our ncighbor, it Is as
tonishing how great is the surprise manifested
by residents OF California at the productions
and resources Of Oregon. Eastern visitors
also take great interest in Orcgon's exhibits,
particularly the preserved fruits. 1t has been
the general supposition that California only
could make a creditablc showing in this field
but the luscious fruits preserved and exhibited
in glass jars makes the mouth of mary visi-
Tor water, and undoubtedly charge their ideas
as to Orcgon's possibilities in horticulture.
Her grains are shown to great advantage in
glass jars, and also in the stalk. These fruits
and egrains.arc all tastefully arranged on con-
ical-shapcd stand with inches and shelves.
This stand in itself is part OF the display, and
is built Of different woods grown in Oregon.
Ii is Of elegant workmanship, much Of ii being
inlaid in mosaic style.
The minerals, which arc contained III a
large glass case, cause astonishmcnt by their
variety and value.
The variety, beauty and value OF Orcgon's
woods como in for share Of attention and
comment. They arc attractiycly laid out on
a rack in the form oi polished slab about two
feet long and the width Of the trees diameter.
