It is desired that all visitors to our Exposition feel free to request any information or attention that the citizens of the Northwest may be able to give. True Western hospitality, such as prevailed among the pioneers who crossed the plains many years ago, will be cordially extended to all our guests at this the crowning event in the national life of this land of Lewis and Clark, "Where Rolls the Oregon."
THE OREGON GRAPE
Type of the sturdy, invincible West,
Lifting her head with the bravest and best,
Grows the wild holly—our Oregon queen—
Shining in raiment of gold and of green.
Brightly she blossoms and crowns our fair hills,
Bearing her beauty wherever God wills.
Emblem of statehood—her flowers unfold.
Loyal forever in green and in gold.
