EXHIBIT TO PANAMA EXPO
WILL Be REPRESENTATIVE

Umatilla county will send most
representative exhibit TO the Panama
Pacific fair as a part OF big exhibit
from eastern oregon as a result of
a meeting Of delegates from all Of the
eastern oregon counties held at Ba-
ker early this week. President ]. v.
Tallman OF the Pendleton Commercial
association represented Umatilla coun-
ty and has returned with the idea of
preparing the best display of products
ever collected in this county.
The old fair exhibit, the ogilvy ex-
hibit which took a diploma at the
state fair as well as fresh exhibits to
be gathered will be combined to give
Cmatilla county the representation to
which she Is entitled. The other
counties OF eastern oregon will also
gather representative displays and
the whole will make the most effec-
tive advertisement for the section OF
oregon east of the Cascades that has
ever been sent out.
George Hyland, director Of the ore
gon fair commission, stopped off in
Pendleton on his way home from the
Baker meeting and while here eX-
planned To a number of local people
what the commission is doing. Ore
gon will receive greater advertisement
than any state in the union" he said,
"and we will accomplish this result
at very small cost The legislature
appropriated only $4,000 but we are
making that so long way thanks to
the cooperation being received from
the various counties"
one of the ideas which the commits
sion will employ to advertise oregon
during the fair is the setting aside of
special days upon which the Oregon
rose the oregon cherry and the Ore.
gon apple will be exploited, Speci.
mems will be put upon every table in
every cafe, restaurant and dining
room in San Francisco.
