The “Trail,” as the amusement street of the Western World's Fair is called, Iis situated on a wide bridge which spans Guflds Lake, the na- tural “grand basin” of the exposition. The number and quality of the attrac- tlons secured for the “Wyail” are in ac- cord with the fitness of its. location. Exposition history tells us that the first amusement street was located in Chi- cago in 1893. It was suggested that the public, after gazing for hours upon the marvels of modern civilization, would take boyish delight in amusements of a At the time, the Midway Plaisance was an experiment; but it proved a remarkable success. Every one who attended the World's Columbian Exposition told the stay-at-homes how much higher was the Ferris wheel than the steeple on the Methodist church, and whistled the tune he had heard play- ed on screeching horns by bloomer-clad men in front of an Oriental theater. The public that tired of one of the greatest mechanical marvels of the century con- tinued to be the willing slave of the bloomer man with the screeching horn who tooted the Oriental air. ‘When San Francisco held its Mid- winter Exposition the following year a midway was a dominating feature and the people liked it. Then followed fairs at Buffalo, Omaha, Nashville, Charleston, Atlanta and St. Louis, and each had its.amusement street, and the people liked them all. At St. Louls the amusement feature saw its climax in a street called the “Pike,” where shows ranging from very good to very bad clamored for patronage along & mile of pandemonfum. NATURE OF THE TRAIL. The nature of the “Trail” has been made to correspond with the nature of the exposition. As the Western World's Fair will be an exceptional exposition, g0 the number of attractions on the “Trail” will be limited, and care will be taken to see that only entertain- ments worthy of the patronage of an intelligent public are permitted. The process of elimination which has been found necessary in the other depart- ments of the exposition is as necessary in planning the “Trail.” The Lewis and Clark Exposition™ “foolishdom” will be confined to .a space 8§00 feet.long by 150 feet wide. One or two of the larger attractions will occupy space on the shore of the lake, near the end of the bridge, but the “Trail” will be practicaly confined to this space. Here will be the gayety boulevard of the fafr, with its dancing girls and dancing men, its splelers with' their shrill calls for patronage, its shouts and ‘“jollies,” its screechy music and roaring of wild animals, its cannonading and general hul- labaloo, and its throngs of jostlin; ! laughing, happy, care-free patrons. Here will come people of every walk in life— callege professors jostling clerks, lawyers, vusiness men, stenog- raphers, school teachers and factory girls —crowding, pushing, shouting in the av- enue between the shows. There are no class distinctions on the “Trail.” ‘e day when people could be per- suaded to part with money for a chance to see a fat woman or a two-headed calf has passed. The “Trail” attractions will be real attractions, which could no. be given for the same admission money any- where but at a World's Fair. The few dollars capital of the seedy showman no longer suffices; there will be not a few FORESTRY BUILDING A TRIUNPH Strneture Is of Historieal Interest and at the Same Time a Timber Exhibit With Its Gigantic 'Logs SHOWS THE WEALTH OF THE NORTHWEST Continued From Page 17, Column 7. yond, half a hundred miles away, rise four mighty = snowclad mountain péaks — Mount Adams,” Mount St Helena, Mount Rainier and “Mbunt Hood—peaks which rival in beauty the more widely famed Alps. To the west the foothills of the Cascade Range, their dark sides still covered with the virgin forest through which these dauntless explorers, Lewis and Clark, made their wearisome way to the Pa- cific a century ago, form an entrancing background. ARCHITECTURE IS TYPICAL OF THE COUNTRY PORTLAND, May 27.—In designing the exhibits palaces and other structures of the Lewis and Clark Centennial Exposi- tion, little or no effect has been made to consistently follow classical architecture. All are familiar with the Tusean, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian orders as interpret- ed by Maugh, Vignela, Viclet le Duc and other masters of architecture, and togeth- er with recently constructed public build- ings and residences and the predecessors of the Lewis and Clark Exposition, the world has been favored with a super- fluity of classic architecture. At the Chicago, Atlanta, Buffalo and St. Louls expositions all endeavors archi- tecturally were to offer replicas of classic designs. The results were gratifying, ex- ceeding the most sanguine hopes of the enterprises’ promoters. The buildings of- fered to public view in previous exposi- tions were such exquisite exemplifications of classical architecture as to cause un- versal admiration, but notwithstanding, the similarity in the designs ot all the ex- positions was so marked that many suf- fered keen disappointment on seeing what they had hoped would prove something new in way of architectural creations. Desiring’ to- eliminate- anything . that might b térmed an tmitatin of the ar- chitecture at St. Louis, at Buffalo or at Chicago, the management of the LeWis and Clark Expositien cast about and has succeeded in obtaiming what will ultimately prove one of tha most pleas- ing architectural offerings the United Statés has known. Athens, with its Parthenon, Erectheum and other structures—the temples of an- other people—for years, has been one of the greatest places for sightseeing in the world. Persons from the most remote parts of the globe have traveled .thou- sands and thousands of miles to visit Athens and enthuse over its architectural antiquities. And they have traveled to Egypt, to Italy, Spain and to divers other countries to view strange architectural offerings. They have seen the Gothic and Romanesque orders and the Renaissance of Italy, France and Spain. In fact, they have “done” every country in the world for the purpose of seeing architecture in its every conceivable garb. They have seen all kinds of architecture, save one or two which are pre-eminently the best, and may only be found on the Pacific Coast; a few orders that possess a charm peculiarly their own. WESTERN IN DESIGN. It is fitting that people should now journey west to see the architectural of- ferings of tne Lewis and Clark Exposi- tion, where may be found creations in design characteristic of that section of the country in which the exposition is to be held. Representative of the phenome- pal timber resources, for which the great Northwest is worldly famous, is the Far- estry building of the exposition. On an exceedingly large scale this structure Is of the same construction as the buildings that housed the Intrepid explorers, Cap- talng Meriwether Lewis and Willlam Clark, during their expedition, Into the then wnknown Northwest, 100 years ago. Within the walls of such a building the ploneers lived, and it was In such a build- ing that one of our. greatest mep, the martyred Lincoln, was born and later gained his scanty education. The history of the great Northwest Is .completely wrapped around such buildings, the forestry structure and its.design is doubly suitable for the Western World's Fair. #rom a historical standpeint and- aside from the magnitude of the industry its huge . timbers represent, the Forestry building cannot help but make a lasting impression upon the visitor .to the Lewis and Clark Exposition. Nothing more orig- inal in’ design can be concelved. e For- estry building in itself is a veritable tim- ber exhibit.. For its constructon, two miles of logs, five and six féet In diam- eter and fifty-two feet long, eight miles of poles, and tons of shakes and shingles were requiréd: The crude facdde of this butiding is broken here and there with a rough window or a rustic balustrade. The principal feature of this building is that it is almost entirely the work of nature. There is a pleasing absernce of the symmetry of classical architecture. There is none of the ornate work that is lavished upon buildings designed, follow- ing anclent architecture. Standing’in one of the spacious corridors of the Forestry building and awed by the great fir and cedar columns, children of a virgin forest, six feet in diameter and forty feet higl the visitor must needs fall susceptible to its fascinating grandeur. People of Call- fornia who are familiar with the majestic sequoia of their Calaveras and Yosemite groves alone can understand the ecstacies of admiration that such a sight demands. OTHER STRUCTURES. ‘The nearest approach to a true replica of the classics at the Lewis and Clark Exposition is the Oriental exhibits pai- ace. The design of this bullding is taken from the Corinthian order. Its grand en- trance, however, is not unremindful of “Le Petit Palais des Beaux Arts” of the exposition at Paris. Careful study- has been given the design of the Orfental ex-+ hibits structure and the classics ' are truthfully portrayed in their most minute details. There is naught that may be ad- versely ‘criticized. The building with its long facade is pleasing and as a whele ls very presentable, comparing favorably with any of the buildings.of previous ex- D Ta-detien the Muropesst sind;Agsirul Continued on Page 20, Column ¢ | .
