E BAND MAKES A HIT Benton County Day at the Coast Fair made Quite a Success by Enthusias tic Crowd From Corvallis The Band From This City Gave Concerts. While the excursion to Toledo yesterday was not so largely at tended, it was pronounced a splendid success, the Lincoln County Fair people appreciating the demonstration and tendering every hearty consideration. The Qorvallis Marine Band . comes in for unstinted praise from the Lincoln county people, and the excursionists as well. The boys were on their metal throughout the day, playing at every station passed and - giving two lengthy concerts at Toledo and another at Newport. The coast people have not been let to real band music for a long time and were sincerely appreciative of the ex cellent, service rendered by the Corvallis band. Pres.

L. Kline: "The trade was shocked yesterday at the sad news of the sudden death of Simon Louis Kline, a prominent man of affairs in the state, a well known merchant of Corval lis, and a citizen who , has been active in the work" of bettering the lot of the merchants of the Pacific Northwest for several years. "Mr. Kline was a native of Cincinnati, and was born in 1858. 'At an early age he came with his parents to Corvallis, and in lb4 he entered the em ploy of his father in his large mercantile store.

"The significance of these figures is clear.

RE In the Willamette Valley there are many people who do not be lieve that a crop of clover can be obtained in the year it is sown. In Bulletin No. 1088, dated June 13, 1908, the United States De partment of Agriculture shows that this has been, achieved with irrigation in the Tualatin portion of the Willamette Valley. , G. R. Bagley, near Hillsboro, in 1906, cultivated eight acres of Seattle, Sept. 11,-Now that,land upn which wheat had bfen giuwu iui uittuj years, inreo ruary, 1907, he sowed red clover FOP, TAFT DAY Seattle Day and its record-breaking attendance of 117,013, is a thing of the past, the Exposition officials are looking forward to aft day festivities September 30, when it is thought the turn stiles will register the greatest number of daily visitors yet seen at the big fair. - T " f President Taft has no rival in popularity in the Northwest. When he visited Washington State in September, 1907, he was greeted by record - breaking crowds all along his line of trav el. Business was suspended in Seattle and everyone made it a point to be at some vantage point to see the big, good-natured 'Bill" Taft. His consent to speak in the natural ampithea- ter and to spend the-day looking over the S air grounds will prove a valuable drawing card, as it will give every fair visitor oppor tunity to see and hear the high executive of the United States. tinii Tint ps HLVl IlltlC UMfl 1 THE CiE. 1 J.l1 T 1 t 1 1 : ' seea on tne iana wnereon ne naa sown winter yetches in Novem- u 1 . - TT- 1 A.

' Similar experiments with hops show an increase from summer irrigation of from 75 to 100 per cent. An onion crop, grown at . Philomath, Benton county, yield ed from four irrigations over 100 per cent in weight more than the unirrigated crop on the same area. A potato crop grown at Corvallis with irrigation yielded an increase of 180 per cent over that grown without irrigation, and four per cent better market able tubers.
