Oregon State Fair Already
In Shape For Annual Renewal.
Commencing On Labor Day
Although Labor day It (till a
week or to away, Manager Leo
Spitzbart of the Oregon State fair
has pronounced the exposition
ready for in 84th annual renewal
beginning Sept. 5.
Hurried construction schedules
h.-.ve made it possible to avoid
much of the usual last minute
confusion. A small amount of
work remains to be done on one
of the new entrances to the
grounds from the north. Work
men ate cleaning up the last bit
of painting on the new "Kiddie
land," juvenile amusement area
that Is slated to be extremely
popular for eager youngsters and
tired parents.
Advance mall ticket sales to
all fair attractions ate reported
to be the heaviest in fair history,
according to Joe Simeral, ticket
manager. Mail requests have
been received from all sections
of the state.
Some difficulty has arisen In
the allocation of stall and pen
space to the record number of
livestock entries in the various
open classes. However, Ben New
ell, Salem, superintendent of the
livestock show, has told Spitz
bart that all show strings will
be accommodated when judging
starts Labor day morning.
Entries in the combined textile
and culinary show are about av
erage but departmental heads ex
pect the lists to swell before the
entry' deadline of Sept. 4. Mrs.
Verle Goode, Stayton, floral su
perintendent, says all available
display space is gone with more
garden clubs than ever before
planning to exhibit.
Spact Long Sold Out
Commercial space on the
grounds and in the fair's main
agricultural building has been
sold out for several weeks. Many
new appliance and farm dealers
will display for the first time.
The younger gentry is slated
for a big thrill with a glimpse
at the new toy railroad route and
station. The route has been made
more life like, a new tunnel and
station erected, and the tracks
completely rearranged.
Admission prices at the outside
gate are the same as before the
war. fifty cents including tax.
Children 12 and under will be
admitted free. There will be four
fiee midway shows each day on
the grounds featuring top circus
and stage talent.
Speed Marks May Fall
All speed marks for the half
mile Lona Oak track are expect
ed to fall on Sunday. Sept. 11,
when the fair presents the an
nual afternoon of midget auto
racing in Salem.
Veteran drivers from Oregon,
Washington, and California are
expected to vie for top honors
on the fair's dirt race track. The
midgets, according to experienc
ed observers, will smash all big
car records for the track because
thev need a lesser amount of
bank to negotiate the turns at
full throttle.
Scared By FBI,
Tokyo Rose's
Witness Claims
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 24-W
The FBI scared him: Norman
Reves says that's the reason his
statement to federal agents last
fall didn't agree with the story he
has been telling to bolster the
Tokvo Rose treason defense.
His all-inclusive support of the
defense faltered Monday and
Tuesday as the federal prosecu
tor hammered at him with his
own FBI statements. They con
tradicted his defense testimony
that the accused Tokyo Rose.
Mrs. Iva Toguri D'Aquino, like
prisoners of war, was forced to
broadcast over radio Tokyo in
wartime.
It was on redirect examina
tion by defense counsel Wayne
Collins, late yesterday, that
Reves, a former Philippine army
lieutenant, explained:
The FBI agents told him, at
one point:
"All right, that's enough of
this. . . If you want to go over
to the other side, all right. But
if you want to know it, we've got
a lot of stuff on you and can pass
it on to the counter-intelligence
corps in the Philippines."
He would have siened any
thing, "to get out from under,''
Reyes swore.
Growing turkey broilers to sup
ply fried turkev has developed
as' a farm specialty in the United
States.

Boswell Springs
Discovered By
Conrad Snowden
A recent account In the News
Review stating Boswell springs
was discovered by Ben D. Boswell
is challenged by Mrs. Laurie Rice
Caster, Portland.
Mrs. Caster, In a letter to Dr.
Harrison Folk, new owner of the
property, claims the springs were
first owned by Conrad Snowden,
her grandfather, when he ac
quired a deed to the donation land
claim on May 20, 1874, soon after
he discovered the springs.
The discovery, she states, was
made when he observed deer
coming down the hills to' drink
and lick the ground around the
spring.
"He (Mr. Snowden) took a man
In with him by the name of Daniel
Payton, and they built a hotel.
Then the springs were named the
Snovden Mineral Springs, and
were known by tha name for
years, until finally Ben Boswell
took over the ownership and
changed the name to Boswell Min
eral Springs," she writes.
"My grandfather, Conrad Snow
den, lived up above the old road,
where, I believe, there are still
some old fruit trees, planted when
he first homesleaded the land.
"I have the deed or patent to
that piece of property, which is
signed by President U. S. Grant
"The mineral water is a won
derful cure for kidney trouble, as
I have witnessed the cures. And
why my grandfather let this prop
erty slip out of his possession is
too long a story to write, but he
was forced to let Mr. Payton ac
quire the property from him, I
think, about the vear 1877."
Mrs. Caster, who Is a cousin
of Dexter Rice of Roseburg states
that the original deed covers one
half section or 320 acres, and
gives a full description of the
Tha HoaJ 11 a, rvir-nrripH At
j Roseburg, Vol. 13, page 82, May
V, inn.
"Different ones, among them
the Applegates, have claimed
they discovered the springs, which
is not true, as Conrad Snowden
is really the one who discovered
them, and I am ready to swear
t all I have said about it," she
writes.
