FAIRBANKS AT CEREMONY.
Magnificent Building Erected by WASH
ington Formally Opened.

Portland, June 8. - The bonds of
friendship existing between the two
greatest states in the Northwest were
even more firmly cemented yesterday
at the Lewis and Clark exposition,
when the magnificent Washington
State building was formally dedicated
with ceremonies second only to the
opening day exercises of Thursday.
The spirit of friendliness which binds
the two states together in the great
task of developing and upbuilding the
Northwest was exempified by the elo-
quent addresses of the speakers who rep
resented both the state of Washington
and the state of Oregon, Vice President
Fairbanks, the personal representative
of the president, honored the Washing
ton delegation by his presence and de-
livered short but very pointed and
appropriate speech.
The condition of the weather was
perfect before and during the cere-
monies, but Immediately after the close
of the exercises dark and heavy clouds
appeared on the horizon, giving the
impression that the unfavorable wealth
er had been delayed because of the
respect the elements held for the great
state of Washington. Long before the
commencement of the exercises. which
were held at II o'clock, Washington
ians, Oregonians and visitors from all
parts of the United States began to
assemble in anticipation of the dedi-
cation. By the time the hour arrived
for the opening of the ceremonies the
exposition grounds east of the Wash
ington building were crowded with
people.
Hundreds of them were from Wash
ington, and it is said that there was
not city in the state, no matter how
it ranked in Importance with its sister
cities, that was not represented at the
dedication. There were visitors from
even the remotest portions of Washing
ton, who travelled many miles on
horseback to reach railroad which
would take them to Portland. The
delegations from Spokane, Seattle, Ia.
coma and Walla Walla were particu.
larly large, the most prominent public
men being in attendance.

MISS SANFORD'S PLEA
She Explains Need Of Woman's Build
ing at the .'U"

A strong plea for a woman's build
ing at the university is made this week
by Miss Mary Sanford, general secre-
tary Of the University 7. W. C.. A.,
in the alumni weekly. Thru her school
wears and her service with the Y. w.
G. A. Miss Sanford is particularly well
qualified to speak for the young women
Of the institution.
Miss Sanford points out that, with
83l women students, but one lnstltu-
tion in the country, Berkeley, has a
larger enrolment Of women and none
makes poorer provision for them. She
asks from the citizens Of the state, and
particularly Of Minneapolis, help ito.

spend the four most important years OF
their lives, rather than to send these
girls out, absolutely dependent upor
themselves, to choose home, compan'
ions and influences as they may. =.
The plea Of the women's representa-
tive is reinforced by an editorial, In
which the editor says that Legislators
report that the greatest difficulty foun!o
in securing appropriations for the uni
versity lies in the fact that Minneap
oils has done little to assist the insti
tuition. He takes the ground that i
Minneapolis would raise the. 5000
needed for woman's building, thu
next legislature would be much more
disposed to be liberal in the matter Of
university appropriations.

DOG NURSERY IN THE
LOOKUP CRUEL JOKE

A well-equipped dog nursery for the
benefit of visitors from the country is
reported to have been established IN
connection with the new police station
in the city hall. Jacob Helm, jailor, IS
in charge. IS -
Recently a farmer. appeared on the
fifth floor with his wife, four children
and dog. He wanted to leave one
of them in good hands while he was
seeing the sights and said they had Sup
erintendent Doyle's permission. He
looked over his flock and decided that
the dog would stay in a cell with the
best grace, so Tailor Helm turned the
key on Fido. ",
! when the. family had disappeared
trouble began for the jailor. The news
of the new department spread fast and
between the yelping Of the dog, and
the ringing Of telephone bells, the Jallor
had little rest. Persons fpurportlng to
be from all parts Of the city called up
to engage quarters for their dogs, while
! they went to the country or shopping. .
Tailor Helm approached the verge Of
nervous prostration and not until 8
clock in the evening did the owner OF
the -howling dog appear to take him
! away. Since then Mr.. Helm has learned
that the countryman was met in the cor
ridor by some person not the chief, who
! told him the dog pastures were on the
fifth floor. ''Tell the jailor the chief
sent you,' said the informant. This
person, who is a member Of the police
force, is avoiding the lookup.
