The East Oregonian has Just receiv
ed the following interesting letter
from J. H. Morris, Northern Pacific
freight agent In this city, who is now
attending the Jamestown exposition:
Jamestown, Vt., Oct. 20. (Editor
East Oregonian.) Thie Jamestown
exposition commemorates a great
event In American history, viz., the
establishment of the first English
settlement In America in 1807. The
various exhibits, state and national,
Indicate much painstaking as to com
pleteness and the collections repre
senting the Industrial, manufactur
ing, mining, mechanical, historical,
and educational progress of the
country are certainly worth seeing.
Uncle Sam, as usual, has the most
magnificent building and the sam
pies of his wares are most astonish
ing. Contrast Is apparently the fea
ture most Interesting. Contrast la
apparently the feature most intended,
as we see in the war department's
section the naval guns of John Paul
Jones alongside the modern hundred
ton death dealers and armor piercers
of our present navy. Also the ammu
nition used In the former and lat
ter. Bome figures and models of old
wooden navy, such as the frigate
Constitution, overshadowed by the
miniatures of the Iron monsters of
the present navy. I know of no com
parison; one can only look and won
der not so much perhaps at the
difference but at the brief time in
which the evolution has been effect
ed. There is also shown various new
weapons and devices for military op
erations on land, hospital equipment,
sanitation of encampments, signal
corps on duty, actual life size, wax
models.
The treasury exhibit Is especially
full and complete. All denominations
of money, gold, silver and currency
of the present date and at different
periods of our national life, being
shown; also samples of nearly, if not
all, of state currency bonds, etc.
An exact reproduction of the Pan
ama canal and country surrounding,
showing progress of work and work
yet to be done, an earthquake record
er (seismograph with Its original rec
ord of the San Francisco disaster.
A large outline map of the United
States showing the temperature not
only of every state, but of every Im
portant locality In each state every
day at 10 o'clock a. m. (record be
ing shown daily at the exposition)
are only a few of our Uncle Samuel's
equipments.
In a short letter like this one could
not begin to describe the education
al showing. It Is along many lines
and shows not only the work and
progress of pupils In nearly every
section of the union, but of our Insu
lar possessions as well.
A more casual inspection of the
progress of education, Increase cf
school., colleges and other institu
tions of learning and the great inter
est manifested In the maintenance of
a high standard of efficiency leads
to surprise that we should have so
large a per centage of illiteracy.
The historical display Is rich and
varied, and it. Is fitting that It should
be, as ths part of our country abounds
In much that is worthy of preserva
tion and this exposition is rather his
torical in character. There are
many relics and Illustrations of the
early settlers of Jamestown and vl
cinity the most striking perhaps be
Ing an actual presentation of Capt.
John Smith and a few followers trad
Ing various trinkets for corn with
the Indians. Of the many documents
and books shown, those that im
pressed me most was a placard call
Ing a mass meeting to protest against
the execution of John Brown, the
original Indictment of Burr & Blen
nerhasset for treason and Thomas
Jefferson's Bible.
The foregoing are only a few
gleams from memory. To enumerate
and describe the exposition in detail,
would, as you know, require a vol
ume. It is on rather a larger and
grander scale than Portland's 1905
fair, but bears no comparison with
St. Louis or Chicago fairs.
I must not conclude this without
making mention that the great west is
amply represented. The scenic won
dor of the world, the Yellowstone
National Park ,1s shown with great
minuteness and wealth of detail by
panorama and moving pictures, the
latter showing many of the geysers
In' action, including the wonderful
mud geyser, also tha gigantic falls
of the Yellowstone river.
A trip through the greatest of all
wonderlands, even though It be by
the "moving picture' 'route, con
vlnces me it is necessary to "See
America first."
Nor must omission be made of the
"Warpath," the amusement feature,
where almost every conceivable prop
osition for entertainment from the
baby incubator to Bolassy KIralfy's
"Pocohontas" and collossal production
of the landing of Captain John Smith,
Is dispensed at so much per.
Taken as a whole, the exhibition Is
well worthy the patronage of the
American people. In Its early days
the mismanagement appears to have
been without parallel, and it seems
now that the management could have
done better than to have granted
such an unlimited number of conces.
slons to curio fiends, restaurants,
pop corn stands, etc.
The army of human vultures that
make up this contingent Is unprece
dented. Their harrangue, in the
huckstering of their wares, Is a con
tinual, nerve-racking din in the vis
itor's ears from the time he passes
through the wicket of the grand, en
trance until his exit To any of my,
friends contemplating a visit to
Jamestown I would say: figure on
about S3 or $4 per head per dayand
look out for grafters.
It has been a great many years
since I was In the southland. Had
supposed and hoped that sectional and
racial lines and prejudices had been
in a measure obliterated by the soft
ening influence of time. Am sorry
tr. have to say, however, that appar
ently the same old rancor exists In
almost Its original virility.
Two motormen cut and battered up
a nigger the other day for asking a
question of a business nature. The
day I left Norfolk, Vt.. about all
the conversation you could hear was
about the affront Bishop Potter of
the American Episcopal church, had
given the south by entertaining col
ored Bishop Furguson, of Africa, at
luncheon In Richmond, one partlcu
larly anarchistic critter going so far
as to say, "Yes, sah, we'll have to
burn half a dozen or so niggers now
to show 'em their place again. These
no'then fools don't know nawthln'
about handlln' the nlggah."
In absence of anything to the con
trary we must believe these were his
sentiments, and It Is humiliating to
say this Intemperate .utterance ap
peared to elicit the approval of his
hearers. If this isn't too long, you
can give space to It, If worthy.
Yours truly,
J. H. MORRIS.
