NEWPORT SERVICE SHABBY Keport That Regular Passenger Train Will Be Maintained Pleases. NEWPORT. Or.. Sept. 13. (Specials Report bera that Corvallls & Eastern of ficials ar considering operation of aep arate passenger and freight service be tween this point and Albany Is pleasing to residents of the Bay. Complaints on the present alow and In adequate service are many. Facilities for transportation of passengers leaving and arriving at Newport are believed to be the poorest tolerated anywhere in the country. No excursion rates, excepting to a large fair or circus, are ever offered to the citizens who might wish to visit Portland occasionally, although there are several classes of excursion tickets to Newport offered on sale elsewhere, and the rate out of the Valley and to way sta tions is 4 cents a mile, the highest tariff allowed by the state, regardless of the fact that the train is composed of old passenger coaches and box cars. These mixed trains endanger traffic. Not long ago two of the freight cars on a passen ger train were ditched and demolished. It is necessary to leave Newport at 6 A. M. on the boat to eaten the train in Yaxjulna at :4o A. M., and this train d,oes not arrive In Albany until noon, consum ing flva hours and 13 minutes actual time in covering rlightly less than 84 miles. The same train, which is the only train to the Bay except special excursions, leaves Albany at 12:40 P. M.. arriving In Yaqulna at :15 P. M., consuming five hours ana 36 mlnutea to cover the distance on the return trip. Then the boat ar rives In Newport at 7 If the train is on time. This, however, rarely occurs, and CROWDS-ATTEND OPENING DAY State Fair Makes Fine how- ing of Stock From. All Parts of Country.

Oregon Trunk Men Spend Four Hours In Town, Then Lave on Road to South. BEND, Or., Sept. 13. (Special.) Early yesterday morning the big chiefs of Central Oregon'a embryo railroads put In their appearance at Bend. At 6 A. II. a, big car arrived from the north with Judge. Carey, the new sec retary of the Oregon Trunk and Its legal advisor from the start, and W. N. Olark. Two hours later another ma chine made Its appearance, bearing Johnson Porter, the great Hill con tractor, and his spuerlntendent, R. J. Buck. The party including the two chauf fers. Cain and Howard, made a brief visit to the surveyors' camp near the town, had their breakfast at the Bend Hotel, and then made a hasty and un communicative exit. The two parties came through from The Dalles, It Is un derstood, on a trip of general Inspec tion and plan-making for future oper ations. From Bend, Johnson Porter and Judge Carey. In one automobile, proceeded southward, and the others returned towards the Columbia. It was impossible to obtain any in formation regarding the steps that will be undertaken .n the Immediate future, but the Impression seems to prevail that this trip Is the forerunner of more extensive operations to the south of Bend. In that direction the prelimi nary survey has already been com pleted for some miles, and at some point between Bend and Odell a sur veying crew Is In the field, doing no one knows exactly what, but presum ably extending the preliminary survey toward Klamath Falls. A second crew of surveyors camped near Bend two days ago, and are now working on the preliminary survey northward to connect with the Central Oregon at Redmond. This outfit Is equipped with a portable cookwagon, and has every appearance of planning to be on the move pretty continuously. as a result of all this surveying ac tivity a lange crop of grade stakes and bench marks Is maturing throughout the country. Work continues to be pushed In the vicinity of Trail Crossing, though no construction has as yet been under taken south "of that point. ACCUSED, SHE DISAPPEARS Woman Wanted for Burglary Jumps $500 Ball. MARSHFIELD, Or.. Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) -A trial promising sensational development which was expected to take place In the Circuit Court today, did not materialize. Th"e defendant was Mrs. Jack Eller by, an Empire woman charged with burglarizing a residence in that city. After being arrested and the stolen property found in her house she gave bond In the sum of $500, but when the case was called she did not appear and forfeited the bonds. It Is said ahe went to San Francisco. State Fair was slightly better than the opening day last year, notwithstanding the weather was cold and threatening until nearly noon. Except In the pavilion most of the exhibits were in place. The showing of horses, cattle, sheep, goats and swine is excellent, the finest stock from all parts of the country being here on the way to the stock shows at Port land and Seattle. The new. office building 'and main err trance, equipped with electric coin turn stiles, did much to facilitate the handling of the crowds and expedite the transac tion of business. In the pavilion the showing is not yet complete and from present indications will not come up to that of previous years. Only three coun ties. Polk, Columbia and Multnomah, will compete for the county prizes of $100 to $300. while last year there were seven. This Is thought to be the result of the counter attraction offered by the A.-Y.-P. Exposition at Seattle, where most of the counties have displays. v v College Has Fine Display. The State Horticultural Society display at the pavilion Is ready to the last detail and Is creditable. O. A. C. has Its old corner in the northwest wing of the building, and Its display will compare favorably with that of last year. Multnomah County's dlspltty, In charge of A. F. Miller, is as good and in some respects perhaps better than that of last year. The grains are better, but the fruit and vegetables in some cases are not fully matured.

The Mon golia will touch in two or three points In Japan on the way over. fresh, the products displayed last year1 being at Seattle. The display of Mrs. F. A. Wolff and daughter. Mrs. H. M. Willett, who live near Falls City, In Polk County, is a remarkable object lesson of what can be produced on one Oregon farm. This dis play is entered in the competition for "We're opening, new styles in boys' suits every day. Whether for school or dress occasion we have the right boys' clothing.

Another fine individual display is that of L. D. Westfall, who occupies part of the Marlon County booth and whose products are from his farm near Jeffei aon In this county. The prize stock Includes Red Polled cattle. Brown Swiss. Herefords. Short horns, Galloways, Aberdeen-Angus and many other varieties and come from all parts of the state, particularly from the Willamette Valley and the Coast coun ties. There are something over 1600 campers this year, not quite as many as last sea son. Albert Toiler Is again "Mayor" of the tented city. Every new building erected and every substantial Improve ment made to'the grounds requires more room and the campins space Is being encroached upon more and more every year, until camping has lost much of its charm to the old-timers, who commenced 20 years or more ago to take their annual outing In the woods, which at that time surrounded the fairgrounds. The racing this afternoon was excellent and drew a large crowd. The entertainment In the evening In the assembly room of the pavilion was attended by a large crowd. In the absence of Mayor Rodgers, who was scheduled to d?liver the address of wel come, short talks were made by W. F. Matlock, president of the State Boasd of Agriculture, and W. H. Downin and Henry Booth, members of the Board. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Governor Benson, who declared that the time Is not far dis tant when Oregon will not only not im port any of the products of the soil, but will have a surplus to ship to all parts of the country and even to foreign coun tries. He praised the management of the Fair, and rejoiced in the great develop ment of the institution. The music by McElroy's band was en thusiastically applauded. The music this year is the best ever heard at the Ore gon State Fair. On Tuesday judging will commence In all divisions of the livestock department. In the evening Professor Kerr, president of the Oregon Agricultural College, will deliver an address on the subject. "Back to the Soil." Professor H. T. French, of Idaho, will talk on "Agriculture," while Addison Bennett is expected to deliver an address on "Irrigation."

High school teams from Hood River, Sherman County and The Dalles ' will be entered. Hood River High practically 6wept the field last year, but Tlie Dalles High should prove a strong contender in the coming meet, and, it is sajd, Sherman County will send a strong team. Much Is ex pected of the local High School team this year, as Professor James R. Ward comes to this city with strong recommendations as a coach and athletic Instructor. A good racing programme Is offered. WIFE BEATER IS FINED Walter J. Bracking Haled Into Court on Battery Charge. . VANCOUVER. Wash., Sept. 13. (Spe cial.)
