The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-06-26
is ONE OF THE FINEST DISPLAYS
EVER MADE BY THIS SEC
TON OF STATE
Greatly Admired by Eastern Visitors
at the Exposition-List of Gar
den City Visitors at Fair

| PORTLAND, June 26.-Professor w
| D. Lyman is in charge of the Walla
Walla exhibit. He is assisted at pres
| ent by Miss Vlasta Houdek.
AS might be expected from the moth
err county of the East Side, this exhibit
is one Of the most varied, opulent and
elegant in the entire building. 1t SHOWS
in every feature the skill and taste of
the general committee, who installed
it, DR.. n. G. Blalock, G. L. Whitney
and NJ. Mcdonald, all of whom are vet
Grams in the line of preparing such dis
plays.
The booth is bordered with a splen-
did collection of nuts, with apples and
flowers to give coloring. The size and
variety of these nuts is a source of
wonder to visitors, many of whom ask
in tones of incredulity if Walla Walla
county can indeed produce all these
nuts.
The outer pillars of the booth bear
two striking paintings representing
scenes in the life of Marcus Whitman !;
one at the summit of the Rocky noun
tains defeating the land to the United
States, and the other on his winter
ride in 1912.
Passing into the booth we find four
large tables and a large counter filled
with magnificent displays of wheat and
other grains and vegetables and apples
of such size and coloring and good
preservat ton as to elicit great admira-
ton from all visitors, with the general
remark that nothing on the ground
surpasses this. There are sixty four
choice specimens of grain. One jar of
wheat from the farm of Sam Drum
heller came from a field that yielded
66h bushels per acre. Choice speci-
mems of grades Of flour from the Wal
la Walla mills appear on these tables.
On the walls are many varieties of
grain in the head; beautiful to look at.
A number of speciments of alfalfa and
other varieties of hay also appear.
Gingantic rhubarb and asparagus may
be seen, besides many large potatoes.
On the walls are several fine pictures,
one of a farm belonging to Joel Woods
being conspicuous. A large painting of
Father Eells, the patron saint of
Eastern Washington, can be seen,
while large map Of the United States
illustrates the mOmentOuS ride of
Marcus Whitman in 1923. There is
also a large photograph Of Whitman
college.
The booth is also adorned by bou
Quets of flowers, which were sent by
the school children of Wa1la Walla.
Four elegant paintings by Mrs. Alice
Oldright decorate the walls.
The foregoing will give some idea of
the exhibit, but to be appreciated in
all it's symmetry and entirety it must
be seen. All in all it is an exhibit
which Walla Walla may we'll be very
proud of. 1t seems to be one of the
most popular on the grounds. Last
Friday it was visited by three United
States senator's, Senator Newlands of
Nevada, and Senators Ankeny and
Piles of Washington. They were all
much pleased with it. 1t was also Wis
tied by a party of distinguished Chi
cago people, including a daughter Of
Senator Rollins of Wyoming.
Of course all Walla Walla people
lose no time in seeking out their eX-
hibit and claiming if as theirs. A large
number were present last week. Dur
ing three days of the week the follow
ing Walla Walla people visited the
booth:
