Complete Headquarters Established
Convenient to Jackson Park.
Having no state building which vis-
itors from their state could use as a
sort Of general headquarters a party
of patriotic Oregonians have organized
the oregon Worlds Fair Headquarters
Association, whose object is to supply
this want to their visiting friends from
the Webfoot state.
The association has leased a commo-
dious three-story residence on Michi-
gan avenue next to Peck court. This
building is now being renovated and
furnished preparatory to making it a
home for Oregonians and their friends.
On the ground floor will be double
reception parlors, billiard parlor, IL
brary, reading-room, smoking-room and
office. On the second floor will be ladies'
parlors, private rooms for gentlemen
and advertising rooms. About the
front and south side is being erected a
spacious veranda, that the members
may, to better advantage, observe the
beauty of the lake, those who throng
the park, and the gay turn-outs up
on the city's most popular driveway.
Throughout the house will be placed
paintings by Stuart who has lately
passed two years sketching in the
picturesque Northwest, together with
ffefe CHI I'M OF
tractive resorts for tourists, and scenes
in the mining and numbering camps.
The furnishing of the house, its loca-
ton and management, carry the assur-
ance that the far away state will not
be unobserved during the great expo
sition. The officers of the organization
are President Colonel r. W. Mitchell,
Secretary Charles N. Miller, Treasurer
w. S. Ladd, and Manager w. S. Sharp
stein, who is in charge at Chicago.
Every convenience for the comfort of
the visitors will be provided to make
their visit to the fair as pleasant and
profitable as possible.
