Mrs. Mary Jensen, wife of Albert Jensen, who died after the birth of Night Horse Show, Great White Way and Other Attractions to liclipse All Records. SALEM. Or., Aug. 21. (Special.) Providing space for the many exhibits in the livestock and other depart ments of this year's Btate fair, rather than obtaining these entries, as has been the case in previous years. Is the problem that is facing A. H. Lea, sec retary, and his assistants. Every mail arriving at the secre tary's office brings offers of more exhibits, and already, thousands of feet of space have been reserved. Should these entries continue to ar rive during the next four weeks at the same rate as during the past month it will be with difficulty that accommodations are provided. Today a letter was received from a breeder of thoroughbred livestock in Minnesota to the effect that he con templated attending this year's fair and that at least 15 sections of the cattle sheds would be necessary to house his herds. Similar information has been received from California, Washinton, Idaho, Montana and many other states located at even a greater distance from the Oregon capital. Horse Show o De Better. The night horse show, which in years past has proved one of the wonder events of the great fair, will be better than ever this season. Let ters have been received from Califor nia. Idaho. Washington. Portland and Canadian points indicating that horses of renowned reputation will be pres ent to perform in the stadium. In con nection with this show will come the Pacific coast's elite, who In their natty and attractive costumes will occupy seats of vantage. In all. the horse show promises to be the most brilliant event of its kind ever staged In the west. The race track, on which a number of world's records have been estab lished, is receiving the attention of workers, and within the next week it ,' will be in readiness for the big fair. Improvements to the horse stables also are being made, and everything is being put in order. As in previous years, every depart ment of the fair will be placed in the hands of a cbmpetent overseer, while the men to be selected to judge the exhibits will have to prove their qual ifications. "Strict fairness is our mot to in Judging the exhibits," said Mr. Lea today, "and everybody who ex hibits must be satisfied." Only recently Mr. Lea. accompanied by J. D. Farrell and a number of other persons interested In the suc cess of the falr.treturned here front a trip over southern Oregon, where they boosted for this year's event and urged that every locality have an ex hibit. Doogla County to Exhibit. Douglas county, which has not ex hibited for several years, will have a display this season, as will Jackson, Linn, Lane, Klamath and Lake coun ties. Josephine county has not yet decided definitely, but probably will come forward with an exhibit of min ing products which are typical of that wealthy section of the state. For the entertainment of those not Interested in livestock and other ex hiblts there will be a great white way. On this row will be found the shows and concessions, all of which are being selected with great care in order that nothing objectionable may get by the censors. There will be merry-go-rounds for the youngsters Ferris wheels, pony shows, monkeys by the score, the old familiar cane rack and an array of other amuse ments. The school exhibits will surpass all previous years, while the industrial clubs intend to come forth with dis plays which will rank well with those of their elders. As In former years the boys' and girls' industrial club members will occupy tents under the shaded oaks and will be guests of the fair management. Under the guidance and care of the competent chaperones these boys and girls are to have the time of their lives. The camping grounds, which for half a century have been the mecci for thousands of fair visitors, are un dergolng their annual improvement. and already are ready to serve th visitors. In the language of Secretary Lea this year's fair will be the greatest event of its kind in the history of th state. ...... ......... ...... LIMBER AUTHORITY WILL I f SPEAK IN PORTLAND.

Portland will be represented at the international convention of traffic men t.o be held at San Francisco this week by three delegates from the chamber of commerce. Captain H. A. LewJs. L. V. Jenkins and H. P. Coffin "have been appointed to repre sent the city and the organization. The purpose of the convention is to get the national viewpoint on traffic conditions. It is planned t frame a national motor vehicle law to be In troduced at the next sessions of state legislatures in an attempt to secure uniformity. The voters at the general election in November must again come to the res cue of the city government in order that a sufficient amount of money may be raised next year to run tne city. A report to this effect has been submitted to the city council by City Auditor Funk. The statement is made that without this aid from voters the city will be unable to get in money" enough to maintain its affairs. A vear ago the city was so caugni in the era of advanced prices for all things entering into municipal serv ice such as fire protection, police pro-, tection, street cleaning, park activi ties, public improvements, etc., that it became necessary to submit to tne voters a measure authorizing the council to increase the tax levy 3 mills above the limit arbitrarily fixed bv the city charter. . It was agreed at that lime tnai mis increase would be only for the present year, although the measure as adopted nrobably would enable tne extra levy to cover other years. The council thought the high-price era would be over in time for next year and there fore gave a pledge to the public that the increased levy would not be used for 1921 unless again approved by the voters. Members of the city council at informal meeting yesterday decided to live up to this pledge and ask the voters to authorize the additional levy again next year. A measure to this effect will be prepared by City At torney LaRoche for submission to the council soon. The extra 3 mills give the city suf ficient revenue this year to maintain a reasonably good service in all de partments and to finance the street improvement programme asked for by property owners, but it did not permit of money for use on Inns, ine coun cil has decided that, while additional money will be required for next year on account of the number of new narks and .the additional amount of street maintenance, street cleaning, fire protection and public improve ments. the budget of appropriations will be so trimmed that it will come within the 3 mills. This means that there will be no money for frills 1921, but only money, for bare mainte nance, upkeep and operation of the various departments on their present basis. The city charter provided a limit of 8 mills for a tax levy for any one year, this limit having been fixed many years ago. As the city grew the levy was gradually forced up to the limit, which point it had reached about the time the war started. "When the era of high prices came and everything entering into public service increased in cost the city was badly- crippled financially, and ac cordingly put the problem before the voters and authorized a rise in the limit. A second rise was approved a year ago and, with no change in con ditions, the city finds itself in the same fix for next year and- will ask for the same levy as for this year.

It plays human like with no evidence of mechanism. So perfectly does it reproduce the playing of the pianist that you listen in wonder amazement at the performance. The very pedaling the finest shades of ex pression are so perfect that the instrument seems vibrant with the personality of the pianist as you listen to the Chickering ' Ampico.

(Bill) Inglis Is Here From Washington. STATE, IS DECLARED SURE Sentiment for Republicans Never Before So Strong, Asserts Can , didate for Senator. Colonel W. M. (Bill) Inglis, com mander of northwestern troops abroad during the- -war and candidate in the state of Washington for United States senator, r was in' Portland yesterday.. He is a delegr.te to the Elks' conven tion at Vancouver. Colonel Inglis re ported that in a campaign of cities and towns of Washington he found a sentiment for Harding and Coolidge that overwhelms democratic en thusiasm. "Harding and Colidge will win; the windows of shops-and homes through out the state bear their portraits: the people of cities and villages alk only of republican victory and former democrats are coming into the party sick and disgusted with the misman agement of national affairs by their leaders." are a few. of the observa tions of Colonel Inglis. "Washington is bound to go strong ly for Harding and Coolidge," he said. "There never was such sentiment for , republicanism in that state, so strong and so determined. And Washington !s but one of many states that feels that a change is needed." Colonel Inglis was commander of "Washington's Own." national guard unit, which later became the 161st in fantry. He took command of the 109th infantry at the opening of the Argonne battle, leading his troops through that fight. Later he com manded the- 30th infantry and the 4th infantry of the 3d division, regu lars. He led the advance guard of the 4th infantry to the Rhine "with the army of occupation. To his troops Colonel Inglis Is "Colonel Bill." He has devoted con siderable effort since his return from war to obtaining aid for disabled sol diers. He is running against Senator Jones, and while expecting a stiff fight, relies on a large soldier vote at the election. Among national problems today the high cost of living is the greatest, in the opinion of Colonel Inglis. Tax-' 'ation is a close second and on the Pacific coast the Japanese problem demands immediate attention, he says. "The Japanese question must be handled through proper legislation and diplomatic arrangement," he de clared. "It has passed beyond the phase of the gentlemen's agreement." Colonel Inglis has resided in Seattle for 30 years. He is accompanied by Mrs. Inglis and their daughter. He Is a member of th Royal Arcanun, Kagles and the Elks. "World's Richest Reporter" Denies Editor Interview. Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. With Bride la on Honeymoon at Ex pense of New York Times. BT A REPORTER. LIGHT may travel 1S0.000 feet per second, but Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., "world's richest reporter," can't see this business of being interviewed. Be it known, young Mr. Vanderbilt is with the New. York Times. And Mr. Vanderbilt, with untold wealth, or even unwhispered wealth, behind, with and surrounding him, is on his honey moon at the expense of the Times. An editor of a Hoquiam paper wanted to interview Mr. Vanderbilt as. he and his bride passed through that city, driving their car toward Portland. Here was an editor tto in terview a reporter and here was a reporter who had "nothing to say for publication." Mr. Vanderbilt Is touring the west and "doing special stuff" for the Times. He has attained a reputation as a good reporter and those in close touch with him remarked on his re fusal to meet the Hoquiam Dana as a fine sample of comradeship for "the boys. They point out that if a rep'orter seeks an interview it is granted, for Cornelius would allow no reporter to return and confess failure. But editors well, editors must be shown that, sometimes, it is simply impossible to get interviews. Young Mr. Vanderbilt. while on his honeymoon, is nevertheless a pro digious worker and "hits the mill" for some 20.000 words each week, de scribing his trip through western ? Canada and the northwestern states,",, His wife, recent society bud of New' lork, enthusiastic over "Corney's prospects," cooks each of their meals as they make camp along the high-. ways. Her frying pans are spick and span; the salad bowl Is fresh and clean, the dishes white and shiny. "Working their way along." the couple nevertheless have the "where withal" to gratify their wishes. Th bride had but rapturously to admire a, little island stuck away in Trout lake, near Vancouver. B. C, and quick as Jack Robinson it was hers. Mr. Van derbilt purchased it outright, a senti mental landmark of their honeymoon "At Hoquiam we were trying to dodge people," said Mr. Vanderbult. "but a farmer's boy saw our name on '. the luggage in the car and told his father. His father was the brother of an editor, and straightaway I had notice the editor was en route to in terview me. We packed in a hurry" and left. I was awfully sorry to miss him. Now, if a reporter had been sent out ." Cowlitz Camp Completes Tract. KELSO, Wash., Aug. 21. (Special.)
