4 OX-CARTS GIVE WAY TO AUTOS AT FAIR Pioneer Gives Word-Picture of Days of Homespun-Clad Visitors at Exhibit. EXHIBITIONS END TONIGHT Addison Bennett Makes His Last Ap peals to Citizens to Visit Great est of Oregon Shows Man agement Is Praised. BT ADDISOX BENNETT. SALEM, Or.. Oct. 3. (Special.) The beginning of the fifth day of Oregon's fcreatest State Fair was cloudy: the wind in the southwest; a moisture in the air every indication foreboding rain. All the forenoon it seemed that we were near the end of the pleasant Autumn weather and at five minutes after the noon hour there came a few sprinkles of rain. A few moments later there was a change In the atmosphere, the wind veered around to the west, passed on nd came from the northwest. Then there appeared in the northeast a de tached section of shattered rainbow. The air became crisp and the moisture departed then out came the sun in all its glory and beauty and effulgence and the 20,000 persons on the fair grounds knew that at least several hours more of fair weather was sure and certain. Perfect Weather Prolonged. Indeed providence has been good to us this week. At the threshold of Fall, when rain in this district rarely keeps away for a whole week at a time, we have enjoyed five days that have been perfect with the exception of a few minutes. When we consider this and then take into account the perfection of the management the State Fair Board has given us it is no wonder that Oregon's 62d State Fair has set a record sever before equaled may not be even approached for years and years to come. 1 have not hitherto said overmuch about the management, about the board of governors. It would, however, be less than Justice to say that the over worked members of the board have per formed their duties with a degree of ability and conscientiousness not often witnessed in bodies of that character. While not detracting one iota from any one of them, it seems that to the president, Henry Booth, and to the sec retary, Frank Meredith, the entire state owes a debt of thanks, for thanks is about all they get out of it except the hardest of hard work. It is true Mr. Meredith draws a salary, but it must be remembered he devotes about all of his time to the duties of his office and bis salary is in no ways commensurate with his services. Sitting in the grandstand this after noon, looking away to the east, out towards and over the Waldo hills, I was approached by that splendid citi zen of Salem, P. H. D'Arcy. He began to talk of olden times; how as a little boy his parents brought him from his native place. Brooklyn, N. Y. This was In 1859. Fair Visited Each Tear. When he was 7 years old, in 1861, his parents took him to the first Oregon State Fair at Oregon City. He at tended the next one, which was held on the present grounds, and he has been present every year since. He painted for me a word picture of the early fairs, of the people who attended, of the early races, of the exhibits and the exhibitors, of the modes of convey ances used by the people in getting to the great fairs, which at first lasted for li days, beginning on Thursday and running over through all of the suc ceeding week. Before us there were perhaps 200 au tomobiles on the grounds, and around the grounds there were hundreds and hundreds of others, the value of them being estimated by one of the officials at more than J1.50-).000. Mr. D'Arcy compared the old conveyances with these, the old ox-caits, carryalls and wagons with wheels which were but a section of a log, and their value with that of all the chattels in Oregon in 1861. The quaint dresses of homespun and buckskin, the visiting of the camps, the bargaining and bartering of the buyers and sellers, the scarcity of money, the hardiness and manliness of the men, the loveliness and sweetness of the wo men, were described. Oh, what a picture! If I could but paint it weakly, poor ly, in language of poverty and puerility the reading of it, the conception of it, would tell a better story of our early Oregon gala days than has been writ ten in a decade. Such stories, such truthful tales of early Oregon appeal so to me, so move me that it is difficult for me to make them breif. But the hearing and the telling of them hearing them in a wealth of diction and telling them in a poverty of description seem to bring up in my innermost soul a greater love tor my Oregon. Comparison Is Sngsested, I hope others may read these lines and then close their eyes and think about what Oregon is and what Oregon was when the first State Fair was held El years ago. "The greatest of Oregon's State Fairs!" What rare privilege it has been tor me to be here and to write about it! Hundreds of persons have come to me to thank me for the way The Oregonlan has treated the fair in the news columns. The best space in the paper has been given each day to the lair. Many have told me that they were moved to come because of these articles, and the complete accounts of the events given by The Oregonian's regular correspondent stationed here practically bade them come and witness the greatest fair ever given in the state. It is a labor of love to assist in such a cause, to assist the managers and at the same time confer a favor on the public by truthfully telling about this great event. But one more day re mains. I can make but one more ap peal.. Tomorrow night at 10 o'clock the exhibits in the pavilion will be in dark ness; at 5 o'clock tomorrow the cattle and other livestock will be withdrawn from view but until those hours the fair, as a fair, as an entity, will be in tact. If you have not been here, be sure and come. If you do you can ever say that you attended Oregon's great est fair unless it is beaten in the fu ture, which seems almost Impossible. If it ever is, it will be because of a greater wealth, a greater population to draw from, and not because of bet ter management or a greater variety of resources. Oakland Turkeys Go to Market.

GOVERNOR WANTS TO TALK Whole Story Will Be Told, If Present Plans Are Carried Out. and With Cross Examination May Consume Days. ALBANY, N. Y Oct. 3. Rumors that Governor Sulzer and his counsel were at the nartinjr of the ways were denied tonierht bv D. Cady Herrick, chief of staff. Herrick broke his silence only after a story had gone broadcast that several of the attorneys would with draw from the case on Monday. "There is not a word of truth In the story," Herrick said. "He may be hav ing trouble with other attorneys with whom he is reported to have counselled, but not with those who have appeared in court for him. We will be on hand on Monday and, in so far as I know, every other day until the trial ends." Herrick also denied that counsel and the Governor were at loggerheads over the story Sulzer insists he will tell from the witness stand. It was reported that the Governor's plan of throwing down the bars and laying bare his whole political career was distasteful to his attorneys. Consnltinv Counsel Displeased. "We want only one thing the truth," Herrick said. That the Governor's counsel are none too well pleased with his consulting at torneys other than those appearing at the counsel table is well known, but he has permitted the latter to have their way on an points oi kihi .uj,v. v so no serious break is expected. This was a aulet day for both the Governor and his lawyers. Sulzer went motoring and rested wnue attorneys vtinman jinii Herrick went into seclu sion to map' out their case.

WRANGLE DENIED CHARTER CHANGES WILL GO 10 VOTE City Officials Will Ask Nine Amendments to Cure Al leged Defects. RED JAPE IS ONE TARGET At Special Election Xovember 4 Ef fort Will Be Made to Authorize Popular Denomination Bonds to Let In Small Buyer. Thn voters of Portland are to be called upon at a special city election November 4 to straighten out nine separate and distinct defects in the noaont itv iVi n rt or oil of consider able importance. The City Commission will hold a special meeting mis morn ing at 10 o'clock to call the election and to submit, under the initiative, the changes as proposed. The first change in the charter pro posed will be the establishment of di rect authorization for-the .issuance of public utilities, such as water mains. Under the wording of the charter as it stands now it is held that the cer tificates can be issued only for acquisition or primary construction of public utilities. This precludes the use of the certificates in the place of water bonds, as proposed by City Commissioner Daly because of the low price of the long-time water bonds. Another measure will be presented providing for the popular Issue of all classes of city bonds to allow sales to small investors. Old Bonding Act Wanted. Another measure will be introduced to renew the old bonding act of the city, the Commission charter having, through oversight, annulled the former act and established in its place the Bancroft bonding act, a state law which is not considered sufficient in its provisions to cover the bonds au thorized and issued in Portland. The new act, in addition to renewing the nriviinirpi nrnnriiml nronerty owners before the Commission Charter was adopted, also provides for tne issuance of bonds in advance of the completion nan imnrnvement. the money to go into a fund to be used in paying off contractors as improvement worts, un der contract progresses. Under this system it is believed city contract work can be done much cheaper. Another measure provides for the es tablishment of a morals court in con nection with the Municipal Court. still Another measure to correct a Afat in the nresent charter which makes the city laws subject to the inrioHiotinn nf the state civil and crim i-ni i.d, wnniH make the city laws I1IIU " - comply only with the state constitution and the state criminal laws, eliminat ing the state civil laws. Red Tape Is Target, Red tape which now hinders the City Council in administrative transac tions would be eliminated by making it possible for the Council to take ac tion upon all matters excepting legis lative ordinances by resolution, ordi nance or motion. A measure will be presented provid ing that six days shall elapse between the intorduction and final passage of an ordinance. The charter now pro ..i tt,.t a v.olr fthall elftose. A measure will be presented taking the park superintenaent out oi juunitiij" civil service jurisdiction and also pri vate secretaries to City Commisisoners. Another amendment provides that when employes are laid off they shall be reinstated in the order of their original appointment instead of in the order in which they are laid off. The measure legalizing dock bonds, which is before the State Supreme Court, will not be presented unless the decision of the court is against the city.
