Tented City an Attraction.
The camp grounds feature Is one
that has ever proven popular and Is
n of the attractions that not only
pays for itself directly, but adds
some revenue besides. A beautiful
oak grove park Is set aside for the
use Of those who wish to live over
the pioneer days in pioneer style and
at the same time enjoy a most de-
lightful outing. Before the days Of
railroads, telegraph, telephone and
automobiles this was the one central
meeting place OF those who came to
the Northwest when it was young.
The Tented City has lots, blocks,
streets and avenues. The lots are
held as If n had a clear title to
the same, although the title is in
the state. Free shed room Is given
to the one who comes by team or
brings along the family COW. A most
delightful and attractive feature on
this camp ground is the social center
tent, where those who wish to trip
the light fantastic can do so to their
hearts content.
So popular Is this social center
tent that when the music starts there
is not even standing room and the
dancing floor hasn't elbow room. Lots
in this beautiful park, which is cleo
trio lighted and supplied with the
purest Of water, pumped from deeply
driven wells, are free to all who wish
to avail themselves of this popular
camping feature.
Free Transportation Aid.
During State Fair week a railroad
station with telegraph, express, bag
gage and ticket offices Is maintained.
Tickets can be sold to any part of
the world and baggage checked to
its destination.
The transportation lines centering
in Oregon lend their aid to the fair
by making it possible for the produc-
er who lives within the boundaries OF
this state and who desires to make
an exhibit to do so at no expense for
freight. This demonstrates the great
faith the management OF the several
transportation lines have in the Ore
gon State Fair.
An exhibitor can prepare his dis
play, ship the same to the Fair
Grounds and receive the same back
free of freight charges. Thus has the
grower in the remote section Of the
state an equal opportunity with the
n living within the vicinity of the
exposition grounds.
The lovers OF spirited and fleet
footed horses (and who doesn't ad-
mire a well-gaited horse?) had an OPP
portunity to witness trials of speed
upon a track second to none on the
Pacific Northwest circuit. Here
were held harness events that fill the
spacious g~randstand with a happy
people, and when the starter said
"go" thousands of hearts beat in ex-
cited expectation.
"Made-in-O Oregon" Pavilion.
The last day vas Shriners' day, and
the fraternal men were warmly
greeted at the gates by wearers of
fez, dined and taken about the
grounds, where they entered into the
spirit Of the exposition. There they
found substantial Oregon on dress
parade. They found that the things
that were best worth while were
there, from wheat to garden truck,
and from horses to hogs.
The Oregon State Fair gave out
100000 in premiums for agricultural,
livestock, poultry, textile and other
exhibits, and the money was ready
as soon as the ribbon was placed.
The new pavilion erected during
the year, 1872 by 243 feet, was used
throughout. There were 100000 Ore
gon-made bricks in this structure and
in every instance where possible pref
erence was given to Oregon material.
The first floor contains 24,646 square
feet of floor space and the second
floor, 1856 square feet. There are
nine entrances, 10 windows, IA sky
lights, the latter IL by 20 feet each,
and the whole requiring 1000 pounds
of putty in order to make them water
tight. The structure cost S65,000
and required five months in the
building.
