0regon's Big Tree.

The largest fir tree in. the world will
supply portion Of the lumber for the
construction OF Oregon's State building
at the Worlds Fair at st. Louis.
The Oregon building will occupy d
site Immediately north Of the New York
State building. The State Legislature
has made an appropriation of $4,000
for the Worlds Fair, but much greater
sum will be available. Five hundred
thousand dollars have been appropri-
ated by Oregon for the Lewis and Clark
Exposition, to be held in 1905 The
same Commissioners will handle the
exhibits for both fairs. Many valuable
exhibits prepared for the Portland Ex-
position will be first displayed at the
Worlds Fair at st. Louis.
III fish and forestry, Oregon's exhibit
will be especially rich. The processe S
of catching the salmon, and how they
are handled, will be shown in detail.
The average size of the salmon of Ore
gon commerce is from Is to 90 pounds,
and they sometimes rsach the enormous
weight OF 60 to 70 pounds.
Sturgeon and founder are caught in
large quantities, and the black bass fos-
tered by the United States Government
Fish Commission, is gaining iii impor-
lance each year.
Splendid timper grows abundantly
all over Oregon, but it is the Douglas
fir that is known the world over. The
largest specimen of this timber in Ore
gon was felled at Aberdeen in May for
exhibit at the Worlds Fair. The tree
was 300 feet high, and 40 feet In cir
cumierence at the base. 1t was 1lS
feet from the ground to the first limb.
The age of this giant of the Oregon
pineries is estimated to be over 400
years. More ships carry masts of Ore.
gon fir than any other timber. The
largest and best flag stats are supplied
10y trees from the same forests. Other
tlmbers and lumbers will be shown, in
clUding especially, maple, oak and ash.
Oregon S display OF agricultural and
horticultural products will be large.
The prune industry of the State is ex.
cecdngly important, the crop in 1902
being valued at more than $3,00o,000.
The Oregon fruit compares favorably
with the famous French product
Small fruits also thrive in the State. In
agriculture, the exhibit will be largely
based on wheat, oats, barley and grasses.

when three ofathe lad s companions rush
ed to his assistance. rho teacher drew
a pistol to hold the boys at bay, but one
ing 1t to explode. The ball entered the
boys abdomen. infNcting fatal wound.
The most curious part Of the story Is
that the teacher claims that it was ncces-
sary for him to tote pistol In the school
room, because he was physically unable
to cope with the larger boys, and was
compelled carry the weapon for his
own protection!.
THAT beats the old times. when the
teacher was a tyrant and enforced his
rigid rules by Injurious application of
the hickory. We knew this teacher
we'll. We have seen him thrash the
boys until great welps We're raised upon
them. We have seen him beat them In
