Hill's Loving Cnp (or Best Individual Farm Display Won by Woman District Prize Goes to Man Who Travels Far. VANCOUVER. Wash.. Sept. 14. (Spe cial.) Greater than the dream of the most optimistic, was the success of the Third Annual Clark County Fair, which nractlcally came to a close tonight, after a six-day session.

If accompanied by their parents. It is expected that the crowd tomor row will be as large as any day during the week. The racing programme held every afternoon proved a great drawing card, and was most successfully handled. AH of the race-horse men are more than pleased with the fast half-mile track. A record of i:ll was made Wednesday. This seems remarkable, as the track was only built a few months ago. The Fair management has been com plimented highly by the horsemen. The public has given liberally of its pa tronage, and has received in return ex cellent entertainment and amusements. Yale District Prizewinner. E. C. Clark of Tale, who was awarded the first prise for the best district ex hibits, went through many hardships to reach the Fair. He gathered the best specimens of grains, grasses and prod ucts from his neighbors, and drove 40 miles to Woodland, his railroad point. The purse of $350 for the best grange exhibit brought out, no doubt, the best products In the counties. In addition to the general exhibits, six were made by granges and 14 by Individuals. The first prize for the best Individual farm ex hibit was won by a woman. Mrs. A. Farln, who with her husband, moved on a 10 -acre tract of stump land about six years ago. In addition to the large cash prise, she received a $50 loving cup do nated by Louis W. HH1 of the Great Northern. The first prize fo the best grange ex hibit was won by Washington Grange No. 82 of Orchards. All of the exhibits were good. Baby Show Is Attraction. The baby show was one of the great est attractions this week. Next year this feature will be on a larger scale, and judging will be done by eugenics.

The Clark County Poultry Associa tion handled the poultry department. S. J. Miller. R. J. Renney and J. W. Wolf had supervision of the exhibits. Work will begin at once to prepare for a greater Fair next year. MEDFORD IS BEADY FOB FAIR Second Annual Exposition and Pear Show Will Open Tuesday. MEDFORD, Or., Sept. 14. (Special.)

Although tne present amuunt m-mo endowment fund is over $235,000, the Income must be increased to keep pace with the departments continually being added and new buildings being con structed. Present valuation of all properties of the college at Forest Grove Is over $228,000. With the de cided impetus given by the gift of Mr. Hill, all those connected with the uni versity are becoming more and more encouraged by the outlook for the early completion of the campaign. Outlook la Promising. All realize that a big step is being taken in the endeavor to make the $500,000 endowment a reality, but with the records of previous requests for financial aid In which the people of Portland and vicinity, as well as the numerous Eastern friends of the his toric Institution, have responded so generously, indications augur well for placing Pacific among the best equipped schools of her class in the Northwest. The recent standardization of the col lege by the Federal board, which placed it second among the institutions of the state, will have a big influence in the appeal for aid.

On her way to the station and while there the little thing kept reach ing down the Inside of her dress at the neck, and the officer thought she was reaching for a mosquito bite, but the lieutenant discovered that she was trying to get a metal tag hung around her neck by a utring. On the tag was printed the child's name and address. A patrolman went to the address and found the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ben jamin Ketner, and brought them to the station to identify the child. It seems that the child had gotten into a habit of running away from home, and the tag had been put on to Identify her. It is as natural for a child as It Is for sheep to wander away from home. There is required the strongest parental love to counteract the in fluence. Three years of age Is rather early to develop this straying In stinct, and the tag saved the little thing from what might have been dangerous consequences.
