Oct 6.-You'n hit the Trail when

The Trail, typical of the early settle

Californians here are criticized for
the use Of but one distinct provincial
ism. That is the use OF the word

packed it and the Californian gradual
ly came TO speak of everything as be-
ing packed. even a newspaper or a
oelicately beribboned box of candy.
But al this has nothing TO do with
the Portland exposition. Portland is
not missing any tricks at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition in the effort to
assist her exposition. except perhaps
that Of properly advertising and she'll
wake up in that regard later. She has
accomplished results here that insure

Colonel Henry Z. Dosch Of Portland,
who has represented oregon at six
worlds exhibitions and has thorough
experience in exhibit work, is here as
commissioner general TO the Louisiana
Purchase from the Lewis and Clark
Fair. He is also director of exhibits of
the latter. He has been here since the
opening of the St Louis fair and has
been able TO judge what are the most
popular exhibits here.
Colonel Dosch says that one new
feature about the Portland fair will be
readiness on the opening day, and that

Portland are ready except that for
electricity, transportation and machin-
cry, which three will be housed under
one roof. 1t will be finished in plenty
of time. The streets and roads in the
grounds are all finished and the floral
spectacles and lawns are already COM
ing into life. Portland wisely built its
exposition roads and streets first and
its fair afterward. Visitors who &c
early will not find men still trying tc
make footways for them and mud and
dust will not assail them
