ABOUT THAT Exn1slr

LITTLE more than nftesa years
IA ago. the Dominion Of Canada.
in its preparation for the Paris expo
sition. cohceivsd the idea Of arrans-
ing . permanent exhibit for worlds
fairs. According. . speeds bureau Of
|the Dominion's interior department
was formed to take this In charge.
The marvellous success Canada has
gained from participation In every
worlds fair since that time shows the
great advantage Of such . course.
When the Panama-Pacilc sxposi-
tion was opened In February the
Canadian pavilion was the only state
!or foreign building to b entirely
ready. Its complstsaess won II great
praise from the early visitors at the
exposition. and throughout the San
Francisco fairs period. the Canadian
building b one that b aiways men
toned as the best on the grounds.
The whole secret Of the Canadian
success 10 preparedness. The exposi-
tion branch Of the government has
been in existence for fifteen years, and
has been under the management OF
one man for eight years. This de-
partment is constantly on the aiert
for the best specimens Of any Cana
dian product. securing the best to Be
found anywhere in the dominion.
with the result that when Canada
decides to participate In any exposi-
tion. all there remains 10 be done b
to erect building and install the ex-
hibits and special scenic aids to dis
plays. and dispense Information and
literature to the throng1. who quickly
nnd the Canadian building.
Klamath county can hardly carry
on such IN elaborate display system
las does Canada, but We can at least
carry ON the work In . permanent
manner in such z wsy that Klamath's
display will bs the most interesting
and attractive of any Oregon county.
This can be done BY beginning . per-
manent exhibit.
This permanent exhibit should en-.
brace every industry and possible re-
source Of the county. Products Of
Jour mills. our factories and other In.
Idustrial enterprises should be secured
and besides having q comprehensive
display Of our grains and grasses. the
display should include . wide assort.
ment OF klamath fruits and vegst.
ables. thess last made permanently
attractive BY being proceased and
placed In exhibit Jars.
Such display could be installed in
the Commercial Club rooms. or IN
some other building where the pro
ducts would be seen By local people
and visitors. Such . display would
awaken even our own people to the
wonderful possibilities Of Klamath.
and should convince even The most
lskeptical stranger Of the tact that
this county is destined TO take the
front rank n farming. stock raising.
lumbseing. ete.
Should the county decide TO par.
ticipats IN any other fair or exposi-
ton. the permanent display would
form the nucleus for Q most attract
i've portrayal Of our resources. All
there would remain TO DO would bs Ia
gather some fresh grain shsavss. ar-
range for sldpments Of fresh fruits
and vegetables to supplement the pro,
esssed displays. and Klamath should
b able TO make . most wonderful
showing.
