THE MORNING TJ&UBSDAY, SEFCEMBER 7, 1903 POLK COUNTY FIRST Finest Exhibit at the Ore gon State Fair. MRS.WOLFDESERVES HER PRIZE "With. Her Daughter Belle She Had Worked lor a Year on a. Pine Collection Three . Other Counties CloseUp. 1 SALEM. Or.,. Sept. lS-CSpecIal.) P0lk Copnty lias b'een awarded first place; in the county exhibit competition at the State "Fajr( and consequently,' claims tobe- -the banner agricultural county of Oregon, A woman, Mrs. F. A. -Wolf, of Falls City, prepared and arranged th'e exhibit assist ed by her daughter, Miss Belle "Wolf. Polk ?ounty led only by a scratch, Idhn County .coming, a close second and 'Wash ington' a close third. Mariori dropped a Uttle further Track as fourth and Lane still lurther back as fifth. Yamhill gets sixth place. Douglas -wouldhave, had" the Seventh, premium but that exhibit --was ridt entered in, the competition. Union County's exhibit was delayed in transit so that it. could not be entered or placed on display,- but it arrived" this afternoon and Is being arranged in the "Onion County booth. The premiums awarded are: Polk County. Mrs. F. A. Wolf, $350; IJnn County, J. R. Douglas, $300; Wash ington County, F. M. Heldel and son, $250; Marion County, C. -T. - Bonney, $200; .Lane County, E. M. Warren, $150; -Yamhill County, J. C. -Cooper, $100. Douglas and Union would have received $100 each ihad they entered. The deciding feature in favor of Polk County was number of varieties and ar rangement. Polk had a large collection of well-selected articles in perfect condi tion. Linn "County had a fine exhibit of both green and preserved fruits, especial ly of fruits put up in large jars, that made an excellent display. Washington fell considerably behind in number of varieties, and Marion dropped off on qual ity, though Mr. Bonney had a good vari ety. Lane was very strong on grain, especially oats, but lacked varieties and was -weak on arrangement. Mr. Cooper, of Yamhill, laughingly ac knowledges that his display belongs in the "also ran" class, for he did not ex pend either the effort or the money some of the leaders dld.1 His. unique design, "Oregon Leads the iWorld," was superb, but could npt make up for a lack of agri cultural products. The awards were made by Professor George Cooteof the chair of floriculture and landscape gardening at the State Agricultural College. Professor Coote says that the points were very close be tween Polk, Linn and "Washington and bis award was made only after a close inspection and the exercise of his best judgment. Mrs. F. A. Wolf, the successful con testantvjias been an exhibitor at the State Fair for the last 20 years and won" first place in the district competition five or six years ago. This is her third exhibit on the county competition. She has been preparing for this exhibition ever since the close of the last State Fair, and. has spared no effort that wouIcThelp her win. In this she has had the very great as sistance of her daughter. Belle, an octivei tireless lass of 1G years. Practical information, teaching valu able facts facts that have a cash value a value that American farmers appre ciate Is the feature of the Oregon Agri cultural College exhibit at the State Fair. In addition to the clover and alfalfa demonstrations which have already been described, the college has In its booth a very impressive display of onions. It is not the odor of the" onions 'that makes the display impressive, but the figures that are' given a prominent place on a card beside the vegetables. How to Increase. the yield 'of crops per acre, has been one of the great prob lems which the Agricultural College peo ple have assigned themselves for solu tion, and they have grappled with the problem successfully. They have already convinced the farmers of Oregon of the value of clover and. .other Hgumlnous crops as rejuvenators of the soil and are teaching them other ways of increasing crops without adding to the area of the land. How to make onions produce 75 per cent, better, is shown by the experiments, the results of which are given in -connection with the display of that vegetable. The college people raised onipns, of various varieties, side by' side, but planted at dif ferent times and lh different ways: The onions were divided Into two classes, those raised "by planting the seed directly In the field, and those raised by planting the seed first in cold frames,, or shallow boxes covered with glass, and later trans planting the onions to the open field. A glance at the display, shows the difference In results for the onions raised by the transplanting method are apparently double the size of those raised by. plant ing the seed directly in the field. The dis play is thus described by the experiment station: ' "Onions grown on upland, without irri gation, simply surface cultivation of the soli during the growing season. "Class No. 1 The seed was sown In shallow boxes,, and placed in cold frames and protected fr.om frost. When the plants had attained " the height Of five or six inches they were planted out . to -open ground on March 1. Harvested August 2S. "Class No. 2r-Seed sown In open field February 28, under same soli - conditions as class No. 1." The yield of the several varieties under the two methods of planting, was as fol lows: Bushels. Bushels. Class. 1 Class 2 Yellow Globe Australian Browji . Silver Skin Sutton Ailsa" Craig. 770 485 6S4 525 432 280 ....... 992 393 2S7S 16S5 719.5 420.7 Total per acre ... Average per acre This was Salem lay at the State Fair and enormous crowds were in attendance all day long. The principal mercantile houses in Salem were closed, and clerks and proprietors went to the fair. The special train of four cars from the north was comfortably filled and several car loads of visitors came from "both north and south on the regular trains. So great was the travel from the surrounding country that all the feed stables were lull before 9 o'clock and by 10 o'clock the streets around the stables, were filled with carriages, At the fair grounds teams were tied wherever room could be found, the farm ers bringing feed with them. The day was delightful, bright and warm, but not hot. The rains of last week cleared the atmosphere and settled the dust and there Is nothing In weather conditions that mars the pleasure of the occasion. Tomorrow will be Portland day and large crowds are expected from the me tropolis. In the hopyards the work is being completed and the pickers are getting home. This also will add to the attendance during the remainder Qf the week, and the gate receipts, already sur passing those of last year for the same days, will be greatly increased. Numerous awards of premiums have been made, but until, the records have been made up so as to avoid errors, the official announcements will not be made. Tomorrow the auction sales of livestock will begin, and these will be continued "through the remainder of -the week. Great interest is being taken in Jthe sales and some active, bidding for the choice- stock offered, is" expected. In the Lane County exhibit Is a splen did display of field corn, fully matured. The corn is of the Pennsylvania early variety- The ears are about nine inches long, large and filled with kernels from end to end. The corn was planted May 20 and gathered three weeks ago. As this corn was gathered much earlier than Is neces sary, it is evident that this variety will mature in any season in this state, and the samples shown here indicate that the yield would le large. L, The Chemawa Indian Training School has an excellent display of the work of the pupils at that Instltuti6n. The exhibit Includes articles made in blacksmith and carriage shops, the harness shop, tailor shop, dressmaking department, kitchen, etc. The exhibit excites universal admi ration and reflects credit upon the school. There is also on display a collection of articles made at various Indian schools, all jaxsc the United States, together with numerous photographs of reservation and Indian school scenes. In this collection there are many excellent specimens of basket weaving. The flower garden is a bower of beauty again this year, and although the fair comes at a season of the year when flow ars are at their poorest, there are shown many unsurpassed specimens of almost all kinds of plants and flowers. The Reform' School boys were brought to the State Fair grounds today and taken through all the departments. It Is. the custom of the school management to bring the boys to the fair "every year for the occasion is not only an enjoyable holiday for them, but they learn much of good value tq them by Inspecting the exhibits of agricultural products and livestock. The Reform School Band played before each of a number of sideshows that are running at the fair grounds, and in ac knowledgement of the favor each of the proprietors of the shows invited the mem bers of the band to "come In and see the show." The crowd enjoyed the "cuteness" of the Reform School boys In thus putting it upito the proprietors of the attractions to give them a free entertainment. No ono failed to return the courtesy extended by the band boys. The band of the Margaret Fisher Com pany, now playing at Cordray's Grand Opera-House, was the guest of the State Board of Agriculture today and during the day played a number of excellent tunes on the fair grounds. "Where are the Belgian hare3?" asked someqne today, as lie passed through the poultry department, where, three or four years ago, there was a row of hare cages extending the entire length of the build ing, and three stories high, there Is not a Belgian hare on the grounds this year. A few years ago It was predicted that the Belgian hares would multiply so rap idly that they would overrun the country and a bounty would be offered for their scalps in order to rid the country of the pests. The expected has not happened. The craze has died out the hares have been cooked and eaten and the "King Johns" and the "Prince Edwards" and the "Royal Dukes" are known no more. The breeders made their money off the sale of "thoroughbred" stock, and the fad went the way of all fads. There Is not a bale of Jiops on the grounds. Usually two or three bales are brought in but this year the growers are too busy taking advantage of the fine weather. A few samples are here, how ever. "Visitors at the. fair from-' other cities appreciate the new depot accommodations that have been provided by the Southern Pacific "Company at the fair . grounds. Seats have been constructed for people waiting for. the trains and the rooms oc cupied by the telegraph and baggage master are convenient. TJie street-car service suffered an acci dent yesterday that delayed .traffic for about an hour. Today the travel to the fair grounds was heavier than the com pany was ready to handle promptly and there were many delays on switches. The company is planning changes which will Insure an uninterrupted service next year. The State Fair is the street railway com pany's harvest season and m view of the business transacted the patrons expect an improved service. AWARDS TO POULTRY3IEX.

Honeyman Bros., of Portland, took sec ond prize with "Ossldine Sliver Dream," also a Holsteln. Harry West, of Scap poose, took third and fourth places with his Jerseys, Gascllla and Empress of Sun nybank, respectively. As will be seen by the following summary, the first threo cows in tho contest varied but a small fraction of a pound, in the amount of but ter fat they produced. The Hazelwood cup, offered by the Ha zelwood Farm, goes to Honeymtfn Bros., as the donors of the cup waive their right to It and concede it to the second man in the contest. The competition for the premiums for best butter cows was determined by a careful test of one day's milk. The tests were made by Professor F. L. Kent, of the Corvallis Agricultural College, who has charge of the dairy department at the Fair. Tho milk, taken in accordance with rules, which applied to all alike, was. submitted to the .Babcock butter-fat test, and the premiums were awarded In the order of the weight of butter fat pro duced.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 16. The prob able defense, of Mrs. Martha E. Bowers and Mrs. Zylpha C. Sutton, formerly of Portland, to the charge of murder, was clearly outlined y.esterday by Attorney Frank G. Drury during his cross-examina tion of the witnesses, who testified for the state. As indicated by Drury's ques- tfons, the defense will be about as fol- lows: The two women will not deny that Bow- l ers was murdered, but they will claim their own Innocence. They will attempt to show an absence of motive. They will make, evident Mrs. Bowers' constant love and devotion toward her husband by the witnesses for the state. Theywlll admit that Mrs. Bowers wrote a prescription for arsenic, and that Mrs. Sutton had the prescription filled at a drug store. They will attempt to show that these were innocent facts, committed by the two women In the honest belief that they were carrying out Dr. McLaughlin's di rections that Bowers be given small doses of arsenic. ' They will attempt to show that Mrs. Bowers forged the name of Dr. McLaugh lin to the prescrjption because she inno cently believed that to be quite the proper way in which to secure the desired ar senic They will show that Mrs. Sutton asked Y Edward 31. Ruby. Drug Clerk Peterson for a ''small quan tity" of arsenic, and that he gave her an ounce of the poison through his own bad judgment They 'will attempt to show that this ounce of arsenic was left at the home of Martin Bowers within easy reach of any one who may have been In the house. They will show, with the aid of the wit nesses for the state, that the fatal dose of arsenic was administered to Bowers not more than 24 hours before his death, which occurred at 4:30 P. M., August 25; that on the night of August 24 Mrs- Mar tin Bowers and Mrs. Harry Bowers re tired at 11 o'clock and slent together dur- Ing the night, that? during the night the only person in attendance upon Bowers was his brother Harry Bowers, and that on the morning of August 25, when tho two women rose, Martin Bowers was found in a dying condition. Mrs. Sadie Bowers, the wife of Harry Bowers, testified that after tho death of Bowers she had gone with Mrs. Martin Bowers to Clementina street and met Patrick Lervey.ln a saloon. Mrs. Bowers call6Lervey outside and told him, that Bowers was dead. ; UNIVERSITY DOORS OPEN ATTENDANCE AT EUGENE PROM ISES -TO BE1 VERY IiARGE. Newcomers Are Entering; an Fresh menMany Improvements Made During Vacation Scaiqa, . - UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, J Sept 16. (Special.) The university scho lastic year opened today and from the present Indications the enrollment will be the- largest the university has ever had. The entering class promises to be larger than the freshman class w,a last year and this, coupled with the fact that tho old collegians are rapidly returning, tends to Indicate tho success of Presi dent Campbell's regime. President Campbell stated that one of the most pleasing facta about the incom- Mrs. M. J. Tabor, who died at University Park on, September 10, was born in Illinois in 1S40 and moved to California when quite young. She was married in 1S65 at Colusa, Cal., to A. L. Tabor and theyiribved to Gran ite, where they continued to reside until Mr. Tabor's death in 1894. Mr. Tabor was one of the discoverers of gold In Grant County, Oregoa. The last four years Mrs. Tabor resided with her daughter, Mrs. O. O. Benson, at University Park, where she died September 10 of a lingering and painful illness extending over a period of one year, but which sho bore with great patience and fortitude. She was kind by nature, beloved, by all that knew her and was' universally respected. Her body was' shipped to Granite and burled by the side of her hus band. Sho left one son, who resides in Granite, and one daughter, Mrs. O.'O. Benson, of University Park, also two sisters, Mrs. Johnson, of Cali fornia, and one In Kansas. ing class was that they were entering the university as college students. Here tofore a large portion of the incoming classes have been subfreshmen, due to tho fact that the various high schools were unable to prepare tho students for entrance as regular college students. That the freshman class is composed of college students not only shows that the high schools throughout the state are becom ing more advanced, but it greatly assists the university as it makes It possible for the preparatory department to be done away with. The college buildings have all been im proved during the short Summer vaca tions and the old collegians will find a different Oregon than they left last June. The most valuable Improvement is the re arrangement and refurnishing of the dor mitory. The dormitory will easily ac commodate 75 men. The dlningroom will be opened October 1 by . Mrs. "Williams, who has had experience" at such work. Room, board, light and heat will be fur nished for $3.75 jper week. The dormitory also contains a large, social-room, which is to be used for student receptions and all college social functions. Aside from the numerous Improvements, every department has received some valu able equipments and will be able to do efficient work. Especially Is this true of the mechanical and engineer departments. Final arrangements have also been made for the publication of several, bul letins during the college year for the pur pose of Illustrating the kind of work the various departments are doing. Profes sor Stafford, who spent the Summer in the Oregon mining districts, will soon pub lish a bulletin showing what the char acter and indication of the various ores Is. This department is. going to assist the state board in arranging the mining exhibit The corps of professors Is the same, as It was last year with the exception of Dr. Boynton, a graduate of Clark Univer sity, who will take charge of Dr. Frld delo's department, and Professor Hyde, who has been appointed as assistant in the geological department The first college assembly was held this morning for the purpose of Informing the young collegians how to register. Such assemblies will be held Thursday and Fri day, and regular classroom work will be gin Monday. V The contest for the Friendly scholar ship In the university musical department will be held Friday morning and Friday afternoon. The scholarship offered by Regent S. H. Friendly Is a full scholar ship, and will be awarded Irrespective of college standing. The college school of music, which Is under the supervision of Professor I. M. Glenn, Miss Eva I.' Stinson and Arthur Frazier, has special apartments In the college dormitory and all courses will be PROFESSOR OF LATIN AT -WHITMAN COLLEGE WHITMAN COLLEGE, Walla Walla, Wash., Sept IS. (Spe cial.)

He announced, that the board of trustees had" seriously considered, forbidding intercollegiate foof ball at Pacific this year. That his senti ment in this regard, is not that of the stu dents was evidenced by the loud applause which greeted President Ferrin, when he added that tho board had decided to take no stfCh action.

Wealthy Klondiker Seeks to Recov er Possession of III Son. tr- CHEHALIS, Wash., Sept 16. (Specials Today Judge Rice heard another chapter In the habeas corpus proceedings institut ed some time since by Owen Grant and Thomas Prather- for the recovery of Grant's son, a 4-year-old boy named Gil bert Grant The case is one having its origin several years ago. Grant was an Alaska miner. He and his wife separated in 1901. Their child was left with Mrs. Grant's sister, Mrs. Thomas Prather, of Grand Mound. Grant went to Alaska. His wife applied to the Supreme Court for a .writ of habeas corpus for the posses sion of. the child. Judge Rice, who was holding court at Olympla for Judge Linn, refused her pos session of the boy, and the court ordered the child returned to Mrs. Grant's sister. Grant and his wife then agreed that the child should remain there, and that each of then should have the privilege of see ing him without hindrance from the other. Late In 1901 Grant returned from a trip to Alaska to And that his wife had secured an order in the Lewis County Superior Court setting aside her British Columbia marriage to Grant, on the ground that It had occurred within six months of her di vorce from one Tlrtlot to whom she had previously been married. July 4, during the excitement attending the celebration at Centralia, Mrs. Grant and her brother, Mr. Brown, of McCor mlck, secured possession of the boy, who was at the celebration In Centralia with the Prathers. A state case Is pending against them In the Lewis County Superior Court for abduction. Grant and Prather began a habeas corpus proceeding here some weeks ago to recover the boy. It has been postponed for one cause and an other until Saturday, when It was par tially heard. Then It was put off until to day. The case will be concluded tomor row. NO MOULDY HOPS ARE PICKED. Lane County Product Ih First-Class .in Every Respect. EUGENE, Or., Sept 16.-(Speclal.)-Hop-men In this vicinity lire much provoked about a report that has been sent out charging them with drying and baling moldy hops. They protest that tho great est care Is exercised regarding the qual ity of the output and 'declare that the report of baling rotten hops Is absolutely false, besides the damage it will do In casting the reflection upon all hops from this locality. - The growers here all take the greatest pains to guard the quality of their prod uct If a mody hill Is found it is left unnlokerL Jind nothfnir hut first-r.lnss hrinu are put Into the bale. This is not done ' without a purpose, for If a grower puts up one floor of damaged hops in a lot of 20 floors, the damage will be to the entire lot when selling time comes, so It is a matter of loss to them to put up poor stuff to damage the good. Everything of a questionable character Is left on the vines, and the pickers are watched to see that they do not pick them. German Mission Appointments. DAVENPORT, Wash.. Sept 16. (Spe cial.)

Yesterday Undertaker Sticklln took the remains of James Wilkinson to Bucoda, where his funeral was held.

JUDGE OUR SERVICES BY OUR SUCCESS "We do not wish people to judge our work merely by what we say about lu "We want them to note the evidences that prove our state ments correct. The proof of a phy sician's ability is to be found in the results he obtains, and. though we are not at liberty to supply ln vidual names of patients as refer ences, the marks of superior skill and service are so prominent and conspicuous as to render our doing so unnecessary. Estimate for your self our volume of practice as com pared with the practice of other physicians in the Northwest. Is there the slightest probability that, if unable to Dack up all our claims, we would have won and retained the foremost place in each of our several offices? Could we fail to cure and yet succeed as we have? Have you ever heard of a promiso of ours remaining unfulfilled, or of one of our patients being dissatis 3ed with the treatment received? Consider these things and then come and talk with us in regard to your case. , Varicocele Many who are but slightly afflict ed with varicocele believe that the trouble Is of but little consequence. The opposite is true. Varicocele is a disease of a progressive nature. As It advances nervous complica tions come, power diminishes, and the general health is impaired "We cure varicocele without knife, liga ture .or caustic, without pain and without detention from business. Stricture Surgery is- not only harsh, pain ful and dangerous, but it is entirely unnecessary In the treatment of this trouble. We employ a painless method, by which the obstructing tissue Is dissolved and all the mem branes of the organs involved thor oughly cleansed and restored to a healthy state. WE ARE ALWAYS WILL ING TO WAIT FOR OUR FEE UNTIL A CURE IS EFFECTED. "Weakness" "We are confident that we have cured more cases of so-called "weakness" than any other physi cian or Institute In the Northwest. Our treatment is based upon tne fact that prematureness, loss of power, drains, etc., are but symp toms of some derangement in tne prostate gland, and require mainly local treatment. Remedies which stimulate activity ot the organs cannot cure, but usually make tho patient worse. Our treatment is original, and. though there are many imitations, none is just the same and the re sults are entirely different. P i LES Quick Cures Certain Cures "We cure the worst cases of piles permanently without the use of ointments, without pain, cutting or detention from business, in from two to three treatments. Our treat ment is entirely new and peculiar to ourselves. Remember, no mat ter who has failed before in your case, we will cure you wth mild methods, and without danger, or else make no charge whatever for our services. Should you live at a distance, we can treat you successfully at home. WE ARE ALWAYS WILL ING TO WAIT FOR OUR FEE UNTIL A CURE IS EFFECTED. Contracted Disorders Every case of contracted disease we cure Is thoroughly cured; our patients have no relapses. When we pronounce a case cured there is not a particle of Infection or In flammation remaining, and there is not the slightest danger of the dis ease returning in any form, or that it will work its way into the general system. No contracted disorder is so trivial as to warrant uncertain methods of treatment, and we espe cially solicit those cases that other doctors have been unable to cure. Consultation by Mail Though It is much better to call upon us in person, those who can not do so may write for our ques tion blank and illustrated book de scribing the male anatomy and our methods of treating diseases of men. Our system of treating by letter is so perfect that we are able to reat most case3 at home success fully. We number our patients from nearly every country in the world. OFFICE HOURS: 9 A.
