With no less than 12 counties con tributing exhibits to the state fair the largest number in its history with the exhibits in general finer and greater in number than ever before ind the prizes offered costlier and more handsome and the interest In the fair by the people of the whole state as well as the city of Salem keener than ever before, the fiftieth state fair promises to go down into history as the greatest and best of them all. Included in the 12 counties which bare Indicated to Frank Meredith, secretary of the state fair board, their Intention to make exhibits, are Clatsop, Columbia, Clackamas, Mar lon, Plk- Benton, Douglas, Grant, Lincoln, Lane, Linn and Coos. A number of these did not furnish ex hibits at the previous fairs.

Louis Hill, president of the Great Northern, has offered a handsome silver cup to the county taking the first prize at the fair. Other Features. An interesting feature will . be Pioneer Day, Monday. Judge P. H. D'Arcy is in charge of the work of preparing the entertainment for that day, and the Salem Board of Trade and the Business Men's League are lending him their co-operation. Mayor Lachmund will declare the day a holiday and ask all merchants to close their stores on the after noon of that day. He will do the same thing with regard to Salem Day Wednesday. Both these fea tures are innovations and it is hoped that the precedent set will be fol lowed in after years. ISaw the First Fair. A special effort is being brought to bear to bring together the pioneers on the day and it Is expected that there will be a number present who will have a distinct recollection of the first fair held in the state. Among these will be Ben Wlsner, a properous farmer of Polk county. Mr. Wlsner, not only attended the first state fair,' but has been attend ing ever succeeding fair and does not intend to have this one slip by without being present. Making Improvements. Many Improvements have been made and others are still being made and will be completed by the open ing day of the fair. El-Oso pave ment had been laid from the South ern Pacific depot to the main en trance of the fair grounds. The pavement Is 20 feet wide. The steeple-chase in the midfleld has been completed and it is considered as good as any in the west. It has five Jumps, including a water Jump. A large shipment of steeplechase horses Is expected from Portland and from British Columbia, o- Dnrkness Didn't Help.

This site is more centrally located for this section of the city than any of the other sites available, and will also be of better service in the years to come. H. A. Johnson & Company has placed It on the market at $8,500 and the board authorized the committee to purchase It at $7,000. The committee in its report also recommended that next year an eight room building be erected on the site. It made a similar recom mendation with relation to the site in Highland addition which was pur chased some time ago. An Athletic Field. The same committee recommended the purchase of an athletic field the grounds where the circus was held this summer and which is lo cated between B street and Parrish addition. The tract is 450 by 500 feet and will make a fine field. The owner asks $6,500 for it and the board voted to ofTer $6,000. . - o Finds Poison In 3111k. J. M. Riggle, of Independence, Is said to have found something strange in the milk and his suspicion being aroused, he brought it in to a doctor and druggist to have them determine what it was. They each found that the sample contained a quantity of strychnine. The only question is, how did it get there? It seems that the milk was left on the porch and of course some one put the poison in." There hase been a lot of . neighborhood misunderstand ing and hard feelings in this part of town. This is to be" deplored and ought to oease. It is hard to think that a neighbor would in this way try to kill by poisoning a whole family. The stuff might have been In for another reason to win some other point. Whoever did It, did a very cowardly thing, no matter what the purpose. Taking human life Is awful. To try to carry out some scheme by resorting to such meth ods is low and devilish. We hope that the differences will be fixed up and that the public, otherwise peace able, will hear no more about it. Trouble making Is a very poor and unprofitable business, and Injures no one so much as the one who makes the trouble. The gossip is loved by no one not even themselves and when they move on, the community Is much better off. It is hard to believe that anyone In this peace loving community would be so low, so mean, so cow ardly, so wicked, so inhuman, so fiendish, as to plan the destruction of a family in this way. The "Enter prise cannot but believe that other reasons, other motives, worked out to Inspire this diabolical plot, and that the purposes were not to kill, Independence Enterprise. XOYEMBER 80 DESIGNATED AS THANKSGIVING DAT Washington, D. C President Taft will designate Thursday, November 30, as Thanksgiving Day, despite the request of bankers that the president name Thursday, November 23. It has always been the custom to designate the last Thursday In No vember as Thanksgiving Day, and Mr. Taft will adhere to that custom. The bankers wanted November 23 selected delcarlng that the making of November 30 a legal holiday wO'ilu seriously Interfere with their work. The law requires that national banks make their statements to the treas ury department on the first day of every month, and a holiday falling on the last day of the month would be most inconvenient, said the bankets. There was some doubt as to what Thursday in November would be se lected this year, as the month con tains five Thursdays. The white house has been besieged by theatri cal managers and those in charge of college football games to settle this doubt, so that definite arrangements can be made for the array of special performances and sports that mark the day. Play Without a Star. "The Chorus Lady" which had been secured by her manager, Ernest Shlpman, as a vehicle for Helen Bar ham for the coming season, is at present without a lead. Miss Barham has received word from her London solicitors that she Is to appear in person at the final hearing in the court of chancery in connection with her legacy. The court decrees that Miss Barham must appear in person, accompanied by her parents or guardian for absolute identification. Consequently she will sail for London in September ac companled by her mother. The fact that Miss Barham will re turn early In December, If not soon er, with a bank roll of considerable proportions, will serve to remove her sting of disappointment in having to forego her tour in "The " Chorus Lady", but Ernest Shipmnn has to launch his managerial drag-net once more to find a suitable woman to play the role made famous by Rose Stahl.

JOCTIXAL, SALEM, OREGON, PBOPEBTI OWNERS WAST THE SOIL Incensed at the city government for its action in appropriating the dirt taken from their premises in making street Improvement and mak ing use of It anywhere it may be needed in the city, several property owners are considering the advlsibil ity of availing themselves of the law set out in a recent decision by Justice McBride of the supreme court, and file suits in the circuit court to restrain the city from ao- proprlatlng dirt to which under the law it has not a shadow of title. According to the decision of Jus tice McBride in a case from Clacka- mous county, unless the 'dirt taken from a property owner's premises is not needed for filling purposes on the street on which the property is lo cated, the dirt belongs to the prop erty owner and the city cannot legal ly take it and use it for filling or any other purpose in any other por tion of the city. Last year the city would take loads of dirt which it had excavated in making street improve ments ana mane wnatever disposition it desired with it, contending that the property owner had no right to It. The same policy is now being followed and property owners are becoming tired of it and are consult ing lawyers relative to brlnglne in junction suits against the city to stop the practice. TESTED AXD PROYEX There is a Ilean of Solace in Reins Able to Depend Upon a Well Earned Reputation. For months Salem readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and reaa apout tne gooa work they have one in mis locality.
