Ohio at Exposition.

The, Ohio Society of the State of Washington is planning to have the old Buckeye State represented at the Alas ka-Yukon-PacificE Exposition in man her which will appeal to the pride of every native Ohioan, whether he be resident of the Northwest, or visitor at the Exposition.
 An Ohio building will be constructed of such a character that it will be one of the-permanent buildings of the Uni versity of Washington at the close of the Exposition, and will, during the Exposition, serve as a meeting place and bureau of information for all na- tive Ohioans. In connection with the undertaking a somewhat novel idea will be carried out under the direction of the "Log Committee" of the Ohio So- ciety. This committee will secure the names and addresses of all former Chi oans residing in Washington and Alas ka, with their home town and county in Ohio. These names will be cata- loged by the Ohio counties, and sub- cataloged by cities, towns and town ships. The result of this undertaking will be known as "The Ohio Log," and will be on exhibition for the use of vis- itCrs at the Exposition, thus enabling any visitor to find the address of any former resident of Ohio with whom he was acquainted. The committee be- lieves that the "Log" will be one of the most attractive features of the EXposi- ton grounds for visiting Ohioans and others who have friends from Ohio in the Northwest, and that it will aid in carrying out the purposes of the Ex- position by placing visitors in commu- nication with former friends who have settled in the Northwest.
 Prior to the opening of the Exposition transcripts from "The Log" accompa- nied by "write-ups" on the Exposition will be sent to Ohio newspapers with the idea that the publication in local papers of the names and western ad- dresses of former residents of the re- spective Ohio counties, will attract great attention to the Exposition and the Northwest.
 It is estimated that there are within the borders of the State of Washington alone, fifty thousand former Ohioans. The gathering of the names of this large number of people and properly cataloging them as planned, will re- quire much time and labor and the committee believes that the work can not be too soon begun.
 Every former Ohioan now residing in the State of Washington, or in Alaska, is requested to send to the "Ohio Log Committee, 1908 Alaska Building, Se- attle, Washington" l, his or her name in full. ?, his or her present postottice address. 3, his or her occupation. 4, his or her former place of residence in Ohio, giving city, town or township and county. Married ladies are requested to give their christian name, then their maiden name in parenthesis, and then their husbands surname, thus: "Mary (Smith) Jones, in order that former friends of Mary Smith will not fail to recognize her under the name of Mrs. Mary Jones.
