OREGON LOGANbER,
RY MAKES BIG HIT
Oregon LOganberry Juice Very Pop
ular With Exposition Crowds.

Oregon Building, Panama-Paciic
Exposition, August 4.--The nation
has fallen for the Oregon Loganber-
ry. 1t likes the berry fresh and it
likes it evaporated, and even our old
tried and true friend of grape Juice
fame, the Hon. William Jennings
Bryan, says that if the nation must
be drunk let it be drunk on logan
berry juice. A case of the famous
Pheasant brand of juice made at Sa-
lem reached Mr.. Bryan at the Palace
Hotel the other evening just before
he started for the big tabernacle here
to deliver his address on This Cause
less War" The public and the news
papers agreed that Mr.. Bryan Grated
as he never had before, and said he
was full of inspiration. We at the
Oregon building knew that it was To-
cranberry juice, and that the newspa-
permen suspicioned was evidenced in
a cartoon in the San Francisco Chron-
icle the following morning showing
Mr.. Bryan with His New Love''-a
bottle of loganberry juice. Grape
juice was given seat far to the rear,
Oregon was pictured as succession
of sites for loganberry juice factories,
and in the background loomed the old
Salem brewery with its big sign dis
placed by another announcing it's con-
version into a juice factory.
All of this, with articles in the sew
eral San Francisco papers, attracted
special attention to Loganberry Day
at the Oregon building, July 20, and
here thousands from the four corners
OF the nation smacked their lips over
generous samples of the fluid extract.
tasted the evaporated berry restored
to its original glory with the aid of
water for which Oregon is famous.
and the buildings domestic science
luncheon Exposition swelldom con-
sumed loganberry sherbets, ices and
pie. Loganberries and loganberry
juice literally overfowed the Oregon
building on the 29th. o. l.. Ferris.
representing the Oregon Fruit Juice
Company, the first Oregon concern to
manufacture loganberry juice for
commercial purposes, came down
from Salem and cared for large
shipment of the Pheasant brand in
bottles of all sizes from the two
ounce to the gallon. A large pyra-
mid of this stood in the center of the
floor and hundreds of gallons of the
liquid Were sampled from the booth.
Loganberry jam made from the evaD-
GRATED berries of last year was served
spread on crackers and this caught
the fancy of every faster The North
west Products Company, now operat-
ing the great brewery at Salem as a
loganberry factory, sent down a tre-
mendous quantity of Juice and this,
the LOU brand was served to all
comers under the direction of Fred
S. Bynon, secretary of the Willamette
Valley Association. This same con
cern also operated a booth here at
which registration for sample boxes
of the Forest brand of the evapor-
ated berry We're taken, and after
tasting the delicious morsels served
every man and woman registered
without being urged. About 1900
gallons of juice were on tap the 29th
and that this advertising stunt will
prove very beneficial to the particu-
lar concerns involved and to the To-
cranberry business is not doubted by
anyone at the building.
In a program of addresses during
the afternoon, Judge J. Il. Logan. OF
Oakland, the originator OF the I.ogan-
berry, was conspicuous. He told how
as matter of accident he secured a
cross between the Texas Early black
berry and the Ursinus deWberry. and
then another cross between these two
and the Red AatWerp raspberry. This
was in 1881 and the fame OF the Lo-
cranberry has grown to the proper
tions of today. Judge Logan was a
resident of Santa Cruz at the time.

experimental with plants as a hobby.

of Oregon, Loganberry and otherwise.

Loganberry enthusiasm, also whoop-

Taylor are entitled to special credit
for their hard work in the preimin-
aries. though all at the building con

this splendid effort
