Oregon State Day VIII
Be Great Attraction

Capital Journal Special Service.)
Oregon Building, Panama Pacific
Exposition, Oct. Oregon State day
at the exposition has been set for
Monday, October so. This is an ex-
position arrangement and on that day
all the honors that can be heaped upon
the Beaver state by the exposition of
fieials viii forthcoming. This means
that the chief dignitaries, as well as
the lesser luminaries, of this greatest
of all fairs viii don silk tiles and other
prescribed paraphernaha, gather them
selves into automobiles and with Gov
ernor WithycOmbe IN the front car,
will follow the exposition and Marine
bands to the Oregon building, and
there in the shadow of the modern
Parthenon wax eloquent over the
glorious achievements of the state to
the northward Governor Withyeombe,
whose business in life il has been to
make two blades of grass grow where
/ but one has grown before, will prob
ably be asked to plant tree where
none has grown before, and in the
name of the great state of Oregon he
may receive plaque, or, more aristo-
cratically speaking commemorative
medal. "
All in all, Oregon day will be some
large occasion, and during the entire
time Governor Withycombe and his
party are here, there will be things do.
ing calculated to be of special interest
to Oregon people. At the Oregon build.
ing there will be as much social activ.
ity as the governor will stand for, and
in every way possible, effort will be
made to bring Oregon to the forefront.
Crowds Of 0regonians mere will help
very materially and those who delay
their visit for the two weeks of whicn
October 30 is the center will find much
of interest extraordinary at the ex.
position. October 2lst ushers in hort.
cultural week, which will be hummer,
and at the same time the fall flower
show will be under way. The stock
show will be in full blast until the
middle of November and November Cd
is San Francisco day. The latter is Ger.
tain to bring crowd Of 100000 and
the greatest day of special events and
festivity of the fair period. The wealth
er continues perfect, and those who
know San Francisco best say that
settled" weather may be counted on
until near December.

her vivacity tended to drive away the
cares of the day under which the prcsl-
dent labored.
Announcement of the cngagement
followed a small dinner party last nigo
ut the White House, on the eve of Sec
retary McAdoo's 3 departure for the Pa
cific coast. Previously Washington had
heard some rumors Of IN executive
romance, but none of these stories ever
received the slightest confirmation
Hence official confirmation came us q
distinct surprise to Washington society
and the nation at large.
Society here welcomed the announce
ment as presaging, in their opinion
new era Of social activity in the White
House. Ever since the Wilson admit
istration bgun, society events in Wash
ington have been at comparatively low
ebb, because Of the absence of White
House leadership in the usual brilliant
affairs.
While it is not definitely determined
that the wedding ceremony will be IN
the White House, it is expected II will
be, although Mrs. Gait maintains her
own home in the fashionable Dupont
circle district. In accordance with the
president desire for simplicity and be-
cause Of his distaste for ostentation,
the affair Is expected to be confined to
close former and personal friends.
A year or so ago, DR.. Cary N. Gray
son, the presidents IS physician, met Misc
Gertrude Gordon, she introduced him to
Mrs. Norman Gait, her guardian. Dr..
Grayson introduced Mrs, Gait to Miss
Helen Woodrow Bones, the president y
cousin. Miss Bones introduced her to

Rates Are Compared.
"Then let us take look at the rates
before the war as compared with those
of today. Wheat from New York to
Liverpool or London before the war
was carried at cents the bushel. To
day the rate ranges from 3S to 40
cents. From Portland before the war
the rate on wheat was 80 snillings 9
pence by steamer, which is equivalent
to q cents per bushel. Today the rate
by steamer is 30 shillings, or 81 cents.
"Paying 80 cents for wheat at Port.

bushel laid down in Liverpool.

The firm of Houser g. Co. has 20
vessels engaged to carry wheat from
Portland TO Europe this fall and win

TO the shipping lists, have about 20
