in preparing something that will be Sc
lected by the state commission. This is
in addition TO the $500 already set
aside for the same purpose at the State
Fair.
The commission has had Hon. Henry
Henry Blackman, of Heppner, scour-
ing Eastern Oregon for fine feeces Of
wool, and he has had such success that
it is expected that as fine a wool exhibit
as has eyer been gotten tsgether will be
the result of his work
Although no vote has been taken on
the matter, it is practically settled that
no part Of the Appropriation for an ex-
hibit OF ST. Louis will be expended for a
building there, as no exhibit placed in
such building can compete for pre-
miums, and only such Of our citizens as
are fortunate enough tO 20 VI OI. LOUIE
can derive any benefit from state
building. The same amount of money
expended in showing our resources
through iudicous advertising, and a
fuller display of the wonderful agricul-
tural, mineral, stock and other resources
will be of much greater advantage to
the people in general. A cheap build,
ing, and we could build no other out of
our appropriation and leave enough for
other purposes, would be worse than
none as compared to the elaborate
buildings of other states, while fine
display of our natural resources will
capture for us the premiums as we eX
eel nearly every other state in such re
sources.
The commission wants to represent
every nook and corner of our state, anC
to that end President Myers will be
pleased to receive communications from
anyone who has any project or idea
which he thinks will be of benefit tc
our exhibit at st. Louis.

Big Crop of HuckIeberries.

The Blue mountains this season will
furnish an immense crop Of huckleber-
ries, the largest for years. On the lower
ridges the berries are now getting ripe,
while on the higher mountains the ber-
ries will be later, thus furnishing long
season of fine, fresh fruit The indians
are now out after the berries and are
making pretty good race with the bears,
with brun little in the lead, for if there
is anything that his bearship likes it
is nice ripe huckleberres. Quite lot
OF this fruit will be gathered by white
people. These berries have an excel
lent flavor and are good for canning pur-
poses.
The siwashes live fat during the huck'
leberry season. They eat the berries
and also trade them for stronger muck.

five different varieties of huckelberries,
all of good flavor.

OregOn,s Exhibit at ST Louis.

The Lewis and Clark Commission
made good start at its monthly meet
ing held in Portland on the 11th of July,
and actual work was begun in prepar-
ing a credltable exhibit for Oregon at
st Louis. Senator ". H. Wehrung,
OF IIilsboro, was elected general SUI
perintendent. He las had considerable
experience and excellent success in this
class of work. Mr.. \. F. Miller, Of Os-
wego, WAS elected superintendent ot
horticulture and agriculture, a position
which he has heretofore held with the
State fair, aud Mr.. J. II. Fisk, of Port
land, a well known and very competen
mining man, was elected superintend
ent OF mines and mining.
$4,000 was set aside for the purchase
of so much OF the exhibits at district
and county fairs as the commission MAJ
find to be of value for an exhibit at S

Plain Statement of Great Truths
Made by the People.
From the Indianapolis Journal of Bio
chemistry.
Great truths are always sensed and
crudely expressed first by the common
people.
Why should one ever say. "No mat
ter?" At first blush there seems to
be no relevancy whatever between
the idea to be-expressed and the phrase
used But chemistry, the court of last
resort, has demonstrated that so-called
matter is mo matter" but simply a
phenomenon or manifestation of ener-
gy. Is it any wonder that mo mat
ter has been a common expression
for years?
Catch on" is quite popular and
"catchy" slang phrase, but / think IL
must nave been borrowed from the cul-
tured Emerson. for you remember he
commanded you to Hitch your wagon
to a star" and there is really no diff
ference between catch on" and hitch
on"
The slang phrase 1--WE are in it, has
been the catch word for some time, as
well as 1--WE are up against the real
thing" OF course, we are in, and up
against the universal substance all
the time, for ''in it we live and move
and have our being" Surely 1t is the
real thing. for II is the only substance
known. There is nothing else to be
in or against 1t is the real thing.
you are not the only pebble on The
beach is a slnag phrase that clearly
foretells the coming age of the concept
of the unity of being-or cooperation
instead of individualism. In fact. the
expression is a direct and loud protest
against selfishness and vanity and fire.
