THE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFQRD, OREOON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 10i.
EXHIBIT AT FAIR
Big Time Expected This Week in
Portland Many Colonists
Coming.
POHTLAXL), Or., Sept. 20. The
Portland fair and livestock show is
the big event of the week in this city.
Bigger and better than ever, the an
nua! event is attracting wide atten
tion all over the northwest. The at
tendance is outdoing that of last year
and the attractions offered are far
. ahead of last season.
' The exhibition of livestock is val
ued at more than $1,000,000 mid is
23 per cent larger than last year. The
state fair at Salem exhibits of live
stock were brought to Portland, and
numerous attractions have been add
ed that -will make the week's show a
notable one. Stock entries have beeu
added that will make the week's show
a notable one. Stock entries have
been made from the central and east
ern states that have never been
shown west of Chicago and Denver.
Xearly 500 harness horses will con
tend for the .$25,000 in race purses
this week. Livestock entries will
bring close to 3000 head of horses,
rattle, sheep, swine and goats here
Rialroads serving this territory are
preparing estimates of travel during
the colonist period, September 15 to
October 15. They expect no less than
60,000 new settlers for the Pacific
northwest during the 30 days the low
one-way rate are in effect. Extra
equipment is being assembled by the
various lines to handle the heavy
. traffic expected and the passenger
agents believe they will have all they
can do to care for the flood of new
comers. ' Inquiry at eastern ticket offices is
reported to be wide and the west
bound trains bearing the vanguard
of this great colonist movement are
heavily loaded. During this week the
travel is expected to be at its height
, and will undoubtedly be heavy.
To Deepen Channel.
Coos Bay is going to deepen its
own harbor channel without waiting
for government aid. The port of
Coos Bay is preparing for the sale
of bonds' amounting to' $500,000. The
proceeds will be used in digging out
the channel, making the docks at the
Coos Bay ports accessible at all
times for vessels of deep draught.
Proposals for the bonds have been
asked and will be received at the
First Xational bank, Xorth Bend, up
to Xovember 9.
Portland's Union stockyards in the
peninsula packing house district were
opened during the past week and now
this city, which is to be the livestock
center of the northwest, offers the
most modern and complete stock
yards in the country. Hundreds of
business men of the city attended the
oKniiig, and all were forced to ad
mire the perfect arrangements for
handling livestock that have been
provided. The big union yards will
have a strong influence in developing
the livestock industry throughout this
territory.
According to tho records of the
government forestry service and the
state board of forestry, Oregon has
beeu remarkably fortunate this sum
mer in escaping the usual heavy toll
taken by forest fres. The season
has been marked by less destruction
of timber than any in the past decade.
Fires this year have been few and
widely separated, while losses have
been small. This is thought to be
partly due to an aroused public in
terest in preventing forest fires and
a largely increased force of fire war
dens throughout the forests this season.

where il has had a t nil years sui
cess ful run, and is now to be seen in
a few of the largest cities. Ami the
verdict, after the jokes have been
heard, all the dances done two or
three times for they are extremely
fetching in their way and all the
choruses have been snug with the ne
compauimeut of twirling lights and
flashing skirts, will likely be that the
new piece will hold its own with any
other musical comedy, and in many
respects do a little better. The or
ganization of .ill people comprises
many comedians, singers and ac
tresses from the comic opera stage
Occasionally the "plot" concerning
two Corsican lockets nnd a fortune
in stage money, and a missing heir or
two, and a forged wul and various
other complications, becomes lost or
sidetracked in the swirl of choruses
and dances. Edward Hume, a cleve!
comedian is the real hilarious main
spring of the piece, nnd with Oruev
Demar, a comic maid given to chat
ter nnd elopements, create more than
enouirh fun for everybody. They
have some outrfugeously amusiiib
bits. The burlesque by Edward Hume
and Grace Demur of the "Merry id

cores. The large company is a ca
pable one and the music by Mr. Ray

original, has many good jingles and
pretty songs, also choruses that call
