The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1904-10-15

Washington's next Legislature should
seriously consider the matter of the
Lewis and Clark Exposition, at Port
land, next year, and take the matter
up early in the session. The board
of control should have general super
vision of the exhibit for the state,
and be responsible over and above the
Executive Commissioner-for expendi-
ture, exhibits, appointees, and every
matter pertaining to the success of
the exhibit.
Portland will be so near and handy
of access, that our state officials will
have ample opportunity. for giving that
general supervision, which is so
necessary, rather than trust so i'm

In favoring an incompetent and

The News writer calls attention to
the fact that the literature of the
railroads is not to be found at the
State building-a serious omission.
"In this connection it should be said
that Oregon is everywhere and in
every way advertising the Lewis and
Clark fair to be held at Portland next
year. 1t is urged by the representa-
tives of Washington that every part
of the state should begin now to pre-.

in this country, with a superb view
that will constitute to visitors one of
its most pleasing features.
1t is hoped that the livestock depart
ment will be made one of the most
prominent of the exposition. The COM
mittee in charge of this department
expects to spend $50,O00, principally in
hanging up big premiums in order to
attract exhibits of leading herds from
all parts Of the continent, and make it
one of the greatest livestock shows
ever held.
But while the fair itself is progress

Big Money for Poor Adver tising

The principal points, to our mind,
made by the correspondent, are cen.

Very satisfactory progress is being
