More Interest should ho taken by

tho wlfo ran, upsetting a four gallon
churn of rich cream In a basket of
kittens drowning tho whole flock. In
tho hurry she dropped u $7 set of
false teeth. Tho baby, left alone
crawled through tho spilled milk and
then Into tho parlor, ruining n brand
now $20 carpet. During tho excite

Tho strike riots nt tho Pressed
Steel Car works, AIcKeeB Hocks, Pa,
aro still far from being uuollod. Eight
deaths resulted from Saturday's out
break alono and tho police, deputies
and stalo constabulary seemed unable
to copo with tho situation, In com
meuclng this strlko tho striking
workmen nro unquestionably In tho
right, Tho management of these
works hns always been notoriously
Indifferent to tho Iosh of llfo nmong
their employes resulting from unsafo
and unguarded machinery, Tho av
erago of oiiu man per day has been
tho death record from accldonts In
theso works almost from tho tlmo
they were first started. Not only
this, but according to novcral
authentic statements of employes the
foremen of tho different departments
have been In thu habit of selling the
Jobs to tho highest blddors, costing
tho applicant from $10 to $50 to so
euro employment, and within perhaps
six weeks tho employe would re
celvo his dlschargo to mako room for
another man with tho price, and It
seems thnt tho man dlschnrged could
soon gel his former Job again upon
agreeing to pay tho graft required.
Ah thlH purchase money was deductei
from thu pay duo tho wagu earner, It
Is scarcely possible that tho head of
the company was Ignorant of theso
transactions and must bavo shared In
the proflta thereof. Theso nro only
two of tho grievances upon which
tho strikers demand fair play, and
there should bo somo menus provided
by law whereby they could secure It.
Il Is deplorable, however, that any
loss of llfo resulted on account of
tho riots, and no wrong could con
done tho strikers' participating In
causing blood to bo shed.

STOCK EXPOSITION.
Proposals for Stmt Work,
ORDINANCE NO 254.
Tho primary object In organizing
tho Portland Fair and Livestock Ex
position was to foster and advance
tho livestock Interests of Oregon and
also of tho Northwest. With this
object In view tho business men of
Oregon got together and formed such
an organization. Among tho promo
tors aro Portland's and Oregon's
prominent bankers , wholcsalo and
retail merchants, Through their un
tiring efforts Portland has one of the
best equipped fair plantB on the pa
clflc coast. $200,000.00 were spent
In securing this plant and today It Is
tho talk of tho Pacific coast.
Tho race track Is a regulation mllo
track, laid out and built on tho best
plans obtainable. It Is considered the
fastest track on tho const and this
was demonstrated last year when
Itay O'hlght paced to tho coast's
threo-yoar-old rdcord of 2:08.
Tho grandstand Is situated on
tho north side of tho grounds mid
from It ono of thu finest panoramic
vlows In Oregon may bo seen. At
most every part of tho entire groundt
Is visible from the grandstand and
an unequalled vlow of tho races may
bo seen from It,
IJnrns for horses, cattle, sheep nnd
swlno have been built and each Is
arranged for Its special purpose Tho
barns nro largo and roomy and pro
sont a nice appearance and exhibitors
who wero at tho fair last year speak
very highly of tho accommodations.
Tho business men mid citizens of
Portland feel Justly proud of tho $200,
000.00 plant and nil Oregon should
turn out and support this fair, which
will bo held September 20-LTi, and a
banner crowd Is expected.
