There is good fish and game ex-
hibit, and good exhibit of woods,
but these tell no story for Oregon.
The visitor sees big apple, and says
so; he gazes at one of the pieces Of
timber and says there's big board
and lets 1t pass
"The Oregon building is where we
are weak. There is no information
there. An easterner looking in sees
log cabin containing panther hide
and some Indian pictures, and there is
nothing to tell whether 1t is an exhi-
bition of the way in which the Ore
gonian lives or representation of the
Lewis and Clark cabin. The eastern
people don't know about Lewis and
Clark. That expedition is as vague as
Daniel Boone is to us.
"what the oregon building needs is
some one to talk for Oregon, and some
pictures or material to demonstrate the
resources Of soil and climate. The walls
Of the oregon building are bare, while
those of the California building are
lined with pictures Of farm, and vine
yard, and field. The rooms are filled
with easy chairs, papers are on the
table, and claret punch and tea Is
served the tired visitors, while two
men who can talk discourse on ad-
vantages of California.
