The Oregon (Mo.) Democrat says:
Visitors to the Worlds Fair are dis
posed to speak enthusiastically Of the
exhibition made by the young and rising
State Of Oregon, notwithstanding the
small sum Of money her managers had
at their diapensation. If Missouri had
used her appropriation as judiciously,
what showing we could have made,
is common remark. But we Of this
corner are not jealous of the glorious
region from which our county-seat drew
its name on account Of the old-time in
timacies between our pioneers and emf
grants and visitors to and from the Mis-
aouri river and Willamette country. In
80 and the early '40s our point was great
place for the pioneers to rest and get
their teams shod-oxen mostly. How
many, whose descendants are prominent
people Of Oregon State, rested here for
brief space till grass was ready, pre-
paratory to their long, weary tramp
across the plains, over the mountains
and plateaus to that then mystic land,
where rolls the Oregon and hears no
sound save its own dashings ?"

On scale large enough. The Director
General said that, if the financial condi-
