MADE.IN-OREGON
EXHIBIT in MAY
ITS SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED
Good Work of the Lewis and Clark
Fair to be Followed mp and
Visitors Shown States
Resources.

That the Commercial organization
of Portland do not intend to let the
good work of the Lewis Il Clark expo
sition in making the resources OF Ore
gon known to the world be forgotten
is shown by their determination to
hold an exhibition of Oregon made
goods during the season of the tourist
traffic.
While there was some complaining
from the small towns in the state to
the effect that the fair last year took
much money from them the wisdom
of its projectors in booming it Is now
admitted on all sides. The good re-
suits of the advertising the exposition
did for the state is already being felt
and hundreds OF homeseekers have
come to locate In Oregon this spring
that would probably never have been
attracted here had 1t not been for the
Lewis l. Clark Fair.
The tourist trade to the Pacific coast
this summer is expected to be greater
than it has ever been, possibly with
the exception Of last year when es-
pecially low rates were provided.
There are, however, number OF I'M
portant conventions to be held on the
coat this season two of which have
been secured for Portland and an ex-
hibition of the products of the state
will no doubt prove Interestingly to
the visitors and will result in much
good to the movement to make Ore
Ion's many advantages better known
| to the outside world. In speaking OF
the exhibit the Journal says:
The "Made in Oregon" exposition
of all Oregon manufactures is assured
and the week Of May 10 to 26-the be-
ginning of the tloodtide Of summer
tourist travel-will see inauyurated in
Portland the most unique exhibition
that has ever been seen in the west.
| The proposition which was first
brought to the attention of the COM
mercial organizations here by the
Portland Admen's league has been
taken up throughout the state,
through the fundamentally OF the
many branches of the Oregon Develop
ment league and from the inquiries
received 1t is evident that the business
interests are alive to the opportunity
of joining in the display.
