FACTS WE REMEMBER TO-DAY
^"*APTA1N ROBERT GRAY entered the mouth of what was thereafter known as the Columbia River, in the American ship "Columbia" from Boston, on May 7, 1792, and gave the name of his :essel to the river.
Captain Gray's report led President Jefferson to send Captains Lewis and Clark across the continent in 1804-6. Their voyage gave us an additional, and perhaps our strongest, title to the Northwest Territory.
This memorable expedition consisted of the two commanders, nine young Kentuckians, four U. S. soldiers, two Canadian voyageurs and one negro, the body servant of Captain Clark.
They broke camp for Oregon May 14, 1804, and made the round trip to the Pacific Coast and back in two years, four months and nine days. Returning, they arrived, after enduring untold hardships and privations, in St. Louis, on September 23, 1806.

OREGON'S ATTRACTIONS
^\REGON welcomes the home-seeker and manufacturer, affording them unsurpassed opportunities and facilities not to be found anywhere else.
Nature has blessed the section of which Portland is the center with lavish prodigality. The winters are mild—magnolias growing in the open—while the summers with refreshing and fruitful showers, keep our fields evergreen and assure abundant harvests.
The beauty of our scenery is unexcelled. The towering snow-covered peaks, Mt. Hood, St. Helena and Adams, are real show mountains all the year around—neither the telescope, vivid descriptive writer, nor mountain guide is necessary—the snow is visible to the human eye. The Columbia River is America's most commanding stream, the Willamette Valley an agricultural delight.
Come and live where climatic conditions are favorable and where returns for your exertions are sure and plentiful. Help us in building up this vast Empire.

'TpHlS LOG PALACE is 206 feet long by 102 feet wide, and rises to a height of 72 feet. * It cost $30,000 to build.
Fifty-two immense trees of from 5 to 8 feet in diameter, 54 feet high, arranged in rows, support the galleries and roof.
Of such giants the State of Oregon has enough to make three billion feet of lumber. Four hundred and eighty mills are busy in converting yearly a small portion of this vast wealth into lumber. Their output last year was fourteen hundred and five millions of feet,

^JpHE POPULATION OF OREGON is to-day 525,000. In ten years it will be several millions. Its area is 96,030 square miles, or 61,459,200 acres. Room and to spare for ten million and more.
We raised last year, Wheat, 12,950,000 bushels; Oats, 3,221,744 bushels; Barley, 639,378 bushels; Hops, 16,000,000 lbs. Our Live Stock is worth $35,000,000 at least. Our Dairy Products, $7,502,800 last year.
Three thousand four hundred and ninety manufacturing establishments turn at least a part of our raw products into manufactured articles, thereby enriching the State to the amount of $52,007,775, and paying 25,380 wage-earners $13,135,422 yearly.

OREGON'S FRUIT AND SALMON INDUSTRIES
JAST YEAR'S FRUIT CROP brought into the State more than Three Million Dollars.
Seven Million of fruit trees contributed to this grand total. Oregon farmers have demonstrated the fact that they can raise Apples the peer of any and superior to most; while Oregon Prunes and Cherries are nowhere excelled in size and flavor.
The salmon pack for 1904 resulted in 578,000 cases, while the value of all fish products in the State exceeded Three Million Dollars,
The ?ffrV<«r/r has added its mite to the success of these industries by furnishing nearly all the labels used.
May it be in the future, as it has been in the past, the proud privilege of the to add to the attractiveness of Pacific Coast products by furnishing Labels, Cartons, etc., etc., that will be fit heralds of our incomparable products.
We shall continue to proclaim their virtues by Poster and Show Card, in Booklet or Pamphlet. In short, we shall try to keep step with the progress of the Coast, so that we may remain what we are to-day:
