The Fair given by the Twentieth Century Grantee at Harlow lant Fri day and Saturday waa a frrand auc cea In every way, and all klndg of credit la due the mnmborg on the Fair commlttOQ who ao ably acquit ted themBclvea of their duties, nays the Aurora Borealls. The larKe hotel building made an I ilna I place for the Fair and waa throned with vlsttorg all the while. In one room the ladles aerved refreHh- menu, while the remainder waa tak en up by the many ana variea ex- blliita. The first thought that struck the vIkI Itor waa the magnitude of the Fair and where It all came from. The flrat room, or entrance, waa chiefly taken up by rellcH, work of art and the lli:o. John Coleman and ,T S. ArmBtrong had prepared an excellent display of Indigenous woods, grown In the Im mediate vicinity of Barlow. There were about 24 varieties nicely ar ranged around a large solid specimen dink of Oregon Or. Miss Mary S. Darlow had a magni ficent collection of agates and rare specimens of rock, ore and Indian relics, artistically arranged In a tine show case. An oil painting by Miss Barlow, representing a basket full of roses, was a revelation, i ne pleasing color scheme and artistic arrange ment showed the hand of an artist Mra. O. W. Quint, a girl of 70, had fine display of relics, consisting chiefly of rocks and ores, gathered In different parts of the United States where she bad been, and each piece bad Its bit of history. She also had on exhibition her first rolling pin and some needlewodrk made by her an cestors, and last, but not least, a col lection of fancy embroidered hand kerchiefs recently made by herself that would put to shame many a girl of 17. Mrs. W. II. Seward had on exhibi tion a silk shawl, supposed to have been worn by Martha Washington. Mrs. Knudson, who recently arrived from Norway, showed some IJancy fabrics woven by herself on the old style hand loom In 17 colors; the old spinning wheel was also in evidence. H. T. Melvln had a nice collection of relics and curios from different tarts of the world. Two Jackets made 'out of some kind of reed or cane, at tracted much attention. They were remlnlncenses of the Civil War In which Mr. Me'vin served. An old cradle, owned by George Zlegler, was shewn. It was made In Bethel, Mo., and brought across the plains by Dr. Kell's Colony In the early 50's and had done good service on the Barlow prairie In the early j days. The Barlow public school had an exhibit of work done by the scholars, showing samples of penmanship, drawing, sketching, composition, etc., showing the school to be quite up-to-date. A peculiar umbrella Jar, made by Mrs. Irwin, was a curiosity and a work of art as well. It was decorated with innumerable pieces of colored porce lain, crockery, broken china, In fact, every conceivable thing connected with a household and arranged so as to form a pleasant effect Mrs. T. L. Armstrong had some fine pieces of crochet work. The second and larger room was given mainly to agricultural and hor ticultural exhibits. W. W. Jesse, the market gardner, led with a complete display of vegetables and garden truck. Ills exhibit Included a mons ter squash, a box of fine tomatoes. some huge potatoes, over-grawn car rots and other things too numerous to mention. Mrs. Schmidt also showed a choice lot of garden vegetables,, especially peas, lettuce, onions, and a few ears of pop corn. H. G. Zlegler had samples of grain crown this year. A halt ousnei or Winter oats tipped the scales at 27 pounds; he also had some very fine wheat and field peas. Eureka potatoes for market and seed, etc. He also had a choice selection of apples. K. Sletager had a nice sample of wheat, over four foet tall and with well developed heads. Frank May had a pretty sample of oats that showed no signs either of drought or other draw-backs. R. M. Dement had some very large ears of pop corn that seemed to be perfect In every way. J. W. Scoggis was awarded the blue ribbon for several large, well devel oped ears of yellow dent corn. Ralph Cribble displayed a bunch of field corn. Geo. Ziegder also showed a sample of well developed field corn. Mrs. Zlegler had made a selection ot fine, large potatoes. A monster corn stalk, over 10 feet tall, grown by J. Slegrist, attracted wide attention. A. A. Hilton and Anton Zee each displayed a bundle of oats as left by the harvester. Henry Osterholz had some fine va rieties of apples, and so had Avon Jesse. Mrs. Jacob Rueck had a lovely bo quet of flowers on display. R. W. Zimmerman showed some tremendous bunches of grapes that would have been a credit to Califor nia or any other State. Aurora waa also represented and carried off lta full quota of blue rib bon. A. M. Fry had two choice lota of apples that won recognition; a sample of broom corn millet, grown by H. L. Bagsvold west of town, also took the ribbon; a picture of Aurora, by photo grapher Jensen, was decorated with blue, while a basket of large snow flake potatoes grown by Wm. Fry did not quite come up to the standard, which goes to snow there were some fine potatoes in competition. H. J. Miller had a sample of choice hops on exhibition. Mra. J. 8. Jesse displayed a rare collection of blooming cactll. On a long table In the middle of play of producta of the dairy and play of product o ftho dairy and kitchen. There were large pyramids of canned fruit and vegetables, dainty rolls of butter and a large variety of cheese. . Mrs. K. Sletagar came fae most. and exhibited many different kinds of cheese. One kind was label ed "Norsk PrlmoHt." It looked nice and those who sampled It pronounced It the best ever. The above are only a few of the ' things displayed, and la mentioned 1 only to give a faint Idea of the Fair. In view of the fact that little or no rain fell for over four months, from early In the summer till late in the Fall, the excellent farm producta proved beyond a doubt the fertility of the soil and the ability and thrift of the farmers. It takes a whole lot of bustle and enterprise to hold a Fair like the one at Barlow last week. The literary program given last Fri day evening, was a huge success as were also the exercises Saturday af ternoon. The Fair closed with a dance in the evening.

Plan of Horaethief to Escape Was Frustrated in Time. A probable delivery of prisoners from the Clackamas county Jail was thwarted a few days ago by the time ly release of A. Chambers, who waa under airest on a charge of embezzle ment Chambers immediately no tified Jailor Peter Nebren that his life was In danger. He disclosed to that officer the fact that Lester Lewis, a youthful bandit, of 19 years, was planning to effect his escape from the jail if the attempt necessitated a murderous assault on Nehren. Jailor Nehren made an in vestigation and by Inquiring of George Lauth, who Is awaiting trial at the circuit court next week for murder ing Mrs. Leonore B. Jones, learned that Lewis had proposed to him that they attack Nehren when he entered the jail, divest him of his guns and keys and make their escape. Lauth refused to be a party to the desperate scheme, Informing the conspirator that he had sufficient trouble without taking additional risks. Lewis re solved to carry his plans into execu tion without assistance. The attempt ed break would undoubtedly . have been made by Lewis, who Is regarded as a dangerous man, but far the fact that Chambers was released from the Jail at the right time, the charge of embezzlement against him having been dismissed. Lewis is lying in jail in default of bonds, being held to the circuit court which will be convened next Monday. He is charged with horse stealing, the crime having been committed within a few weeks following his re lease from the Oregon State peniten tiary where be had just completed a three years' sentence for larceny in a building, committed at Wilsonville, this county. When confronted by Jailor .Nehren, Lewis evaded a direct answer as to his intentions, by stat ing that "a man will do anything for his freedom." Mr. Nehren is ex tremely cautious with Lewis who is denied many of the jail privileges that made possible the carrying out of plans. Lewis and Lauth are the only occupants of the county jail now. The demand for the Government ownership of the Willamette locks at Oregon City has raised the question ofhow much revenue the Portland General Electric Company Is deriving rrom tne business passing through the locks owned and controlled by that company, says the 8alem correspond ent to the Oregonlan. An examination of the records la the state offices here sheds but little light upon the subject, for no records are at band to show definitely either the receipts or expenditures at the locks. The law requires that the owner of the locks shall file quarterly reports showing the number of boats passing through the locks and the amount of freight and number of passengers car ried. These reports have been filed regularly, but the Items of traffic are given more In detail than the law re quires. The freight handled Is divided into the following classes: Horses nr.il n.n1 V. n n - .J V :-.r..:.r fnt nf l. . t . - freight The law fixes the maximum charges at 50 cents per ton for freight 'and ten cents for each passenger. The report does not show, and are not re quired to show, the rates actually charged, those specified being maxi mum rates. It was recently reported through the press that the rates charg ed are as follows: Passengers, 10 cents each; horses and cattle 25 cents each; sheep and hogs, 10 cents each; lumber.. 5o cents per M; freight 50 cents per ton. The published sched ule made no mention of any rate on logs different from the rate on lum ber and there Is nothing in the records here to Indicate what rate Is charged. If the rate on logs is the same as on lumber, the following statement shows the amount of traffic through the locks and the receipts therefrom since January 1, 1903, a perlold of twenty one months: Passengers, 33.398 at 10 cts.$ 3,339.80 Horses and cattle, 1608, at 25 cents 402.00 Sheep and bogs, 298. at 10c 29.80 Feet of Lumber, 1,128,707, at 50. cents per 1000 511.35 Feet of logs, 28,013.676, at 50 cents per 1000 14,006.83 Tons of freight, 31,119,050. at 50 cents 15,559.73 M. B. Kester, of Hubbard, was In the city Tuesday, taking orders for a new automatic fire and burglar alarm. It has been on the market only a few months, and Mr. Kester is a stock holder in the company manufacturing ft It consists of a bell that will ring whenever one of the cords attached to it Is severed or released. If, for instance, a fire breaks out In the gar ret, the cords are burned off, the bell rings, and the apparatus indicates the place. It is simple In construction and has no electric appliances.

' Total .$33,832.53 Section 4058. of Bellinger & Cottons Code, pdovldes that the company own ing the locks "shall certify to the Secretary of State, from such dates as he may prescribe, a detailed and itemized statement of the disburse ments and liabilities of the said com pany, in order that the net receipts of the said company may be ascertain ed." This law was enacted In 1876, but so far as can be learned no Secretary of State has ever prescribed any time from which the statement of disburse ments shall be made, hence none has been made and there is nothing in the records to show the net receipts of the company.

It Is not necessary to remark that Hallow'een was generally observed by the "ubiquitous small boy" and some larger lads Monday night. Numerous misplaced signs, detached gates, soap-inscribed display windows, and overturned out-buildings testified to the presence of mischievous spirits. The bounds of innocent fun were ex ceeded in at least one parted in stance in which a rural n-il box on Route No. 1, was carried away. This was a criminal act and the miscrants should avoid a repetition of the act in the future. There is a quality in Royal Raking Powder which makes the food more digestible and wholesome.
