The Forestry Department included all the commercial woods of the
State and many that have a prospective value for cabinet purposes.
The variety displayed in this feature was so great, the installation
so attractive, and the quality of the raw and manufactured samples
so superior, that the Jury readily awarded to it a Grand Prize, the
highest recognition possible, and this in a State where forestry is a
leading industry, and by a Jury composed largely of Washingtonians.
This was a victory to be proud of. All the available space on the
walls of the main exhibition hall was covered with enlarged views of
California scenes and industries.
