Oregon Building First Finished.

Oregon was the first state to COM
plete its building and the first to
install exhibits at the Alaska Yukon
Pacific exposition. Five months in
advance of the opening of the exposi-
tion Oregon had two cars of choice

stored in its building and the entire
exhibit will be installed two months
before the gates Of the exposition are
opened. The Oregon building is a
handsome structure and occupies one
of the best locations on the exposition
grounds. 1t is just off the central
court and overlooks Lake Wash
ington. The building was completed
in November and since that time the
Oregon commission has been engaged
in the assembling of the state exhibit
By the early completion of its build
ing Oregon has received large share
of the advertising during the pre-ex-
position period. In the past three
months more than $4,000 persons have
paid admission to the exposition
grounds.
