THE WASHINGTON STATE BUILDING. The object-lesson sought to be shown in the erection of this building was the wonderfullumber production of the State. The exterior was of Puget Sound lumber, and the roof ofthe famous AVashington cedar shingles, unquestionably the best in the world. Washington was named the Evergreen State — not because of the forests of that name,but because plants and ferns are blossoming the year through. The trees are giants in stature, reaching to a height of 300 feet, and twenty-five feet indiameter. The climate is delightful, caused by the Chinook winds from the Japan current,The scenery is marvelous, from rushing brooks to pleasant valleys, from beds of blossomingvines or yielding berries to Mount Rainier, which seeks to reach the sky, and it probablyyields more wheat to the acre than any other State
