It is Attracting Much Attention at Milwaukee.
That the Oregon exhibit is attracting a great deal of attention at the G.A.R. national encampment, the following clipping from the Milwaukee Daily Sentinel will show:
The Oregon delegation, consisting of fifty five gentleman and ladies, arrived at 8:30 yesterday morning over the Wisconsin Central road, and their two special cars were side-tracked at the old Union depot on Reed street. The Oregon people bring with them an interesting exhibit of their state's products, which will be placed in the Exposition building, and will occupy a space of 1000 square feet. Two carloads are filled with fruit, wheat, rye, oats, barley, corn and grasses. The grain is put up in pint sacks, and will be distributed gratis at the Exposition, commencing Monday afternoon. The delegation has peaches, pears and plums in abundance, and they will be given away during the encampment week. In addition to the above 5000 samples of wheat, oats, barley and grasses in small sheaves have been neatly arranged for the inspection of visitors. The exhibit is one of the largest ever brought to the East from the Pacific coast, and will prove a very interesting feature of the Exposition. The delegation is headed by E. B. McElroy, commander of the Oregon department, and the exhibit is in charge of B. S. Cook.
