PREPARATIONS TTNDEB
, WAY FOR STATE FAIR
The state fair, which has become the
. big event of tho year for the people of
Oregon, will tnke place this year at
Salem from September 14 to 19. At
the fair grounds the work of prepa
ration has long siiu'e been umVr wav
and it is expected that all will be in
readiness for the throwing open of the
gates which will mark the opening of
the most successful tair in the fiftv
odd years of its existence.
Tu the past two years the state has
expi'iidid large minis of money on the
improvement of the exposition grounds.
Tn li07 twelve large modern show bams
were erected, giving Oregon's fair the
finest equipment for the display of
livestock in the west. Another improve
ment was the beautifying of the
grounds by laying out lawns, flower
beds and paths, and by the destruction
of numerous old buildings and the re
movul of the " Corral" the amusement
street of the fair, to a more sightly
location.
Although the work of converting the
old grounds into a modern home for the
exposition was begun last year, it is
not yet finished. This year many new
improvements have been made, chief
among which is the addition built on
the immense grandstand, by which its
capacity will be almost doubled, the
putting up of miles of fences and the
erection of new buildings.
Ten thousand dollars are offered on
tared products. Eight counties will pro
vide extensive exhibits. Almost every
industry will be represented. The
livestock show will be unequalled, the
agricultural exhibits will bo wonderful,
and the art department, and floral dis
play, the dairy, poultry nnd machinery
exhibits will all demand the interest
of the thousands of spectators who will
come from all parts of the northwest
to se the f.-iir.
WARDEN CURTIS ADOPTS
FINGER PRINT SYSTEM
WALNM. August 22, After invest i
gation of I he merits of the finger
prinl system of criminal identification
during a recent visit to San Francisco,
"Warden Frank Curtis has become con
vinced of its effectiveness and has
adopted it at the Oregon penitentary.
He has already made several experi
ments in taking impressions of finger
tips. The finger-print system of identi
fication has been in use in most of the
largo cities and criminal institutions
of the country for several years, has
proven of great value in running down
criminals and !b being almost univer
ally adopted by police departments,
detective agencies and criminal institu
tions. Tt has also been the means of
saving men accused of crime from the
prison upon circumstantial evidence.
Warden Curtis' attention was first at
tracted to the virtues of the virtues of
the system during a recent visit of M.
W. McClaughry, the government ex
pert on finger-print ldentificnl ion, in
the penitentiary.

ANGELES BY AUTOMOBILE
8 AN FRANCISCO, Cal., August 22.
Stanley Kctehell, champion middle
weight pugilist of the world, left here
at G:30 o 'clock this morning for Los
Angeles at the wheel of a White steam
er. With him went his manager, Joe
O'Connor. While in the smith the men
will arrange the terms of 4he Ketchell
Paplte match that is to be pulled off
before Jeffries ' club in Los Angeles.
O'Connor also wants to make terms for
a Ketchell Bnrns match when the
heavyweight chain) dun returns f roin
Australia.
From what O'Connor said today be
fore he left it seems likely that all
chance of the match being declared off
has departed. O 'Connor said that if
Papke insisted on 150 pounds he would
meet these conditions, as he is sure that
Kctehell can win the fight.
Tn a statement last night O'Connor
stated that Vnpke must make 1.rS
pounds or 1 ho fight wond be declared
off.
While he is in Los Angeles O'Connor
will visit Billy Xnal. Burns' manager,
at Honrovia and try to make arrange
ments for a fight with the heavyweight
champion. O'Connor took $2500 with
him today to post as forfeit money if
there is any chance of getting the
match. If arrangements are made, it
is likelv that Coffroth will pull off
the match in San Francisco on New
Year's day.

THEFTS OF HIGH-GRADE ORE

of three counties today are investigat

amounting to more than $1;,000 from
the main drift of the Selby Consoli
dated shaft in the Jumbo district near

ported by W. R. Gilbert, newly ap
pointed superintendent of the mine.
A private investigation was made by
Cilbeit before he told the authorities,

guilt upon anyone, he has called in the
assistance of the sheriffs. He inti
mates that a former high official of
the mine is suspected of being impli

SIMPLE WASH CURES ECZEMA.
Itching, Burning Skin Disease Bouted
Without Use of Injurious Drugs.
Great inventors often have been
praised for surrendering the secrets of
their discoveries. Practically the same
thing happened in the medical world in
the case of Dr. Decatur D. Dennis, the
eminont skin specialist of Chicago.
Dr. Dennis, in his own office prac
tice, discovered that pure vegetable oil
of wintergreen, properly mixed with
other simple remedies, was practically
sure specific for Eczema, psoriasis, bar
ber's itch, salt rheum and other itching
skin diseases. But the oil of winter
crreen nlnne was found ineffective. It
renoired other mild ingredients such as
glycerine and thymol compounded with
the wintergreen to proauce me reai ec
r.ema cure.
This compounded D. D. D. Prescrip
lion nositivclv takes away the itch at
once the instant it is applied to the
skin. This vegetable liquid does away
with deleterious drugs so long used in
an attempt to doctor theb lood, wnere
as modern science has determined thst
,,..,. ; first and all the time a skin
disease
