The Oregon (Mo.) Democrat says:
"Nisitors 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 dispcnsation. Ii Missouri had
used her appropriation as judiciously,
what Il showing we could have made
is Il common remark. But we of this
corner are not jealous of the glorious
region from which our county-seat drew
It's name on account of the old-tme in
timacies between our pioneers and emf
grants and visitors TO and from the Mis-
souri, river and Willamette country. In
80 and the early '40s our point was great
place for the pioneers tc rest and get
their teams shod--oxen mostly. How
many, whose descendants are prominent
people OF Oregon State, rested here for u
L. tLt space till grass was ready pre-
parltory to their long, weary tramp
across the plains, over the mountains
and pateaus to that then mystic land,
where rolls the Oregon and hears no
sound save its own dashings = "
Representatives of Italian exhibitors
at the Chicago Fair called on Director
General de Young of the Midwinter Ex-
postion at San Francisco, and asked for
5000 square feet of space in the me-
chanical and fine arts building, which is
more than it will be possible to give
them in that structure. They may agree
to take $1,000 feet of space and have
ther exhibits divided between three of
the buildings. 1t is the opinion of the
Italian Commissioners that the foreign
exhibitors at Chicago will all want q
large amount of space, and they don't
think the plans for the fair buildings are
on scale large enough. The Director
General said that, if the financial condi-
tion we're somewhat better, he would en-
large the buildings, but under the cir
rnmstances he did not think it would be
practicable. Space at the fair will be of
two kinds-withn and outside of the
bindings. The Hawaiians, Chinese and
Iapanese have located space outside, and
will construct their own buildings. Re-
norts from the interior are encouraging.
in several quarters active preparations
for big exhibits are going on, and many
of the counties have made appropria-
tions for collecting material.
