OF the artificial features OF the Far,
t e most noteworthy and wonderful Is
he Forestry building, an immense
stru ,ture of rough hewn forest giants
which covers half city block, and is
in itself an eloquent exponent of one OF
the chief wealth sources Of the land
which Lewis and Clark made part OF
Uncle Sans domain. The building
combines crude materials and architec-
tural skill into finished structure
which is strong. rugged, massive and
appropriate to the purpose for which 1t
was built. Within the building are
fnished products of the forest, from t. e
Oregon lumber mills. and in one end an
extensive fisheries display where the
methods of Matching the famous Chi
nook salmon are shown.
Within the spacious exhibits build
ngs, the disp' yrs are in general such
az have been en- at earlier fairs, but
re more attractive, being more taste'
fully arranged. A policy OF segregation
adopted some time ago provides tn t
all exhibits from Orien al natl ns shall
be housed in one building, and all
European exhibits in another. Japan
has more than ha'f tie space in the
Or entail building. A continuation OF
the seq legation policy gives states the
privilege of showing their displays ID
their own buildings, instead Of scatter
ing them among me different exhibits
palaces, and in every case where state
has erected a building this ha, been
done. Every western state i. repre-
s,nted generously, and the displ VS. en-

The people of Port and want to build up
their city, and they are going to treat
the visiting thousands in a manner that
W i'll prove that true hosp talty is not
confned to the south. They expect
that many people will settle in the
thriving western ~ metropolis, and that |
many more will locate in the vastly |
rich country tributary to Portland. The |
