BELONGS AT SCAPPOOSE Shorthorns Also Come In for a Share of Awards, irst Prlie Going to Idaho Breeder Cheese Makers In Competition. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 17. (Special.) A frisky little calf only S months old won first place as Junior bull, the Jersey class also won the jun.or bu.. championship and the grand championship, thereby be ing declared the best Jersey of any age at the state fair this year. More than that, the Judge. Professor E. E. : Elliott, of Washington State Agricultural Col lege, pronounced him the best bull of any dairy breed at the fair, and this dec laration was voiced also by Charles Cleveland, of Gresham, a Jersey breeder , who had animals in competition with the . winner. i The calf that thus had honors thrust upon him bears the name of Golden Fern i of Sunnybank. and is owned by Harry ' West, of Scappoose. The three prizes he won today aggregate 160, and if he can do as well at other fairs in the circuit ; he can feel that he is worth something more than his keep as a prize-winner, regardless of his prospective value as a sire. Idaho Bull Gets Prize. It was around the premium awards in . the Jersey and Short Horn breeds that chief Interest -centered today, for those two breeds are most popular in Oregon. In many of the other classes of cattle - there was. but one entry, and therefore no competition, and little Interest. In the Short Horns an Idaho breeder walked off with most of the honors. The victor was J. W. Garrett, of Mountain Home, whose 3-year-old bull. White Goods, -a. monster animal of snowy white, and weighing 2400 pounds, won the grand championship. Garrett also won the grand championship among female Short Horns with his 2-year-old heifer Slip pers, an animal tipping the beam' at 1700. There were many entries in this class, and each of the breeders won prizes, a full list of which will be given later, but those mentioned wre the most im portant. Thomas Andrews, a breeder at Cambridge, Neb., served as Judge of the beef breeds. All the awards have been , made except the female championships and the herd premiums in the Jersey breed. The largest animal in the cattle de partment is Lunde Oregon Dekol, a . Holsteln bull, owned by P. A. Frakes, of Scappose. The bull weighs 2600. Awards Made on Cheese. Aside from . the awards mentioned, the premiums of most interest to cat tlemen were those given in the butter and cheese competitions. A Tillamook manufacturer, the Miami -Cream Com pany, carried off first premium for cheese, with 12 competitors giving him a close run for his money. Against eight competitors the Monroe Cream ery carried off first prize for butter. F. A. Schublnger, the Stayton maniac s' turer who puts- up 53 different -kinds of cheese, took first, premium for a cheese display. . One of the most Important awards yet to be made is that for milch cows, the contest being based upon tests of milk both as to butter-fat and solid contents of the skimmilk. There is Intense interest among dairymen and when the milk is weighed twice a day, the rivals keep pretty close watch of the operations. There are ten en , tries. The milk produced during Tuee and and Wednesday will form the foundation for the award. It Is gen erally conceded that the premium will go to a Holsteln, a Jersey or an Ayer shire. The attendance at the fair today was exceptionally good, surpassing that of the corresponding day of last year. The weather was cool and delightful and the crowd in the best of humor. - GETTING FACTORIES FOR TOWN AVoodburn Commercial Club Can See Results or Its Efforts. . 5 WOODBURN, Or., Sept. 17. (Spe cial.)

EASY NOW TO GET GARS TROLLEY LINE GREAT AID TO FREEWATER SHIPPERS. Umatilla County .Has Marketed Large Crop Plums and Peaches. - " Now Packing Apples. FREEWATER. Or., Sept. 17. (Special.) The several packing-houses in this city have about completed their season's prune packing and will now begin on the apple crop. Over 100 carloads of fruit chiefly prunes, peaches, . pears and plums, have been shipped from here during the past 20 days over the O. R. & N. and the Walla Walla Valley trolley-line via North ern Pacific routes. The shippers say that since the advent of the traction company and their ability to furnish Northern Pacific refrigerator cars, troubles have ended regarding the securing of cars as the O. R. & N. agents have "loosened up" wonderfully, and even take the trouble to call up the growers over the long-distance telephone to ask if they can supply them -cars. Such a state of affairs has heretofore been, unknown In (his city, and of course the shippers appreciate it. The apple crop Is a good one and top noted prices have already been offered and accepted. The apple trees have been well sprayed this year and the good derived thereby is already showing itself by the absence of scale. There will be over 100 car loads of apples from this point. Hay shipments are becoming general, the ranchers consigning their hay to points on Puget Sound where prices are good. Harvesting began yesterday on the third alfalfa crop which promises to be above the average yield. PETT1BOXE LIKELY TO DIE Federation Official in Serious Con dition Can't Appear In Court.

FOUND UTOPIA Town Will Have No Police to Bother People. CAPITAL BEHIND PROJECT Wealthy Socialists Buy 1 0,000 Acres Near Spokane Enterprises Will Be Co-operative, With In dividual Initiative Respected SPOKANE, Wash., Sept. 17. (Spe cial.) "There will be no policemen in our town to bother people, for they will all be good people there." So says J. S. Lichty. a prominent social ist leader. In speaking of his Utopia, which is to be founded at Adrian, near the grand coulee. Some of the prin cipal Socialists of the state, Includ ing Walter Thomas Mills, of Seattle; Judge W. E. Richardson, H. W. Man gold, James Erickson, W. F. Ludwig, Peter I. Levander, R, T. Hyer, John Dorick and J. G. Lichty have filed ar ticles of incorporation for the Adrian Irrigation Company, with a capital stock of $300,000. This, Is the foundation of a colony whlch.even If not composed entirely of Socialists, will, nevertheless, have a flavor of Socialism. Three thousand acres of choice land nave been secured by these friends of the laboring men, and water rights from five big lakes have been purchased by the Adrian Irrigating Company. The land will be divided into five-acre tracts and these set to fruit, while the waters from the lakes will be brought down to irri gate the land. It Is stated that water sufficient to irrigate 10,000 acres has been secured by the company. In the midst of this Utopia will be a town. Every public utility in it will be owned by the municipality. It will haver its own electric plant. Its own buildings, and the people will even own the city of ficials. While the town will be run on this plan, the community in the entire Ir rigated district will profit by co-operative enterprises. The individual rights of every man will be respected and ac knowledged, but the labor will be carried out on a big scale, so the cost of pro duction will fall lightly on each indi vidual. "It will not be ,a Socialist community. You cannot colonize socialism, but we hope to attract Socialists there." said J. S. Lichty, when asked concerning the pians or tne community. "We will co operate in our work as much as possible. so as to make the expense of produc tion as light as possible, and this will not Intervene with individual manipulation of worK. . . "The town we will establish will be a municipal ownership organization In all respects. We will have no policemen there to bother the people, for they will an De good people there. We will own our own municipal light plant and all public utility enterprises. There will be no graft and no grafters. It will be a good place to live.

COLLEGE NOT HIGH SCHOOL Hundred Applicants Refused Ad mission Attendance at Eugene Will Be Larger This Year Than Ever. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, Or., Sept. 17. (Special.) Strict enforce ment of entrance requirements has turned away a large number of prospect ive University students who desired to register during the coming semester. The University has received applications for admission from many s.udents who have not completed a four-year high school course or its equivalent and whose prep aration for college Is insufficient. These young men and women have been advised to continue their high school and aca demic courses and apply for University standing next year. It Is said that nearly 100 of these applications have been re jected. The University Is not doing high school work and it is tne policy of the faculty to deny admission to all who are not properly fitted for the work of the freshman class. Students may enter with one condition, but this must be made up before the February examina tions. Frown on "Back Door" Route. There has been a tendency during the past few years, especially among stu dents from Portland, to use the Univer sity of Oregon as a means of entering certain Eastern colleges through the "back door" route, or, in other words, upon certificate from the University of Oregon. Students have done their fresh mai work at Oregon and then entered Eastern institutions as sophomores. While the University of Oregon author ities have no right to deny admission to such prospective freshmen, they, never theless, frown down upon the policy and urge students who have once regis tered here to complete their courses and obtain degrees. It is a noteworthy fact that few if any of the freshmen of last year will leave Oregon for the purpose of obtaining advanced standing at other. Institutions. It is also reported that tne coming freshman class will not contain any students who intend to go elsewhere next year. Large Enrollment Expected. Prospects for a large enrollment were never brighter than they are this year. College will open next week and conser vative estimates place the enrollment (exclusive of the professional' and musi cal departments) at 375 to 400 students, as compared with 341 for last year. The freshman class will contain about 200 members, as against 125 last September. Applications for freshman standing have been received from every county ii. the state. In spite of the referendum agitation, the University appears to oe entering upon a year of great usefulness to the people of Oregon.

Glad stone Park was .offered by the Willamette Valley Chautauqua Association as a tem porary fair ground only, and next year the Fair Association will have to seek new quarters. The land fronting the Willamette River below the town of Willamette is a beau tiful spot that nature seems to have pro vided for a great display. There is ample room for a racetrack one mile In length.
