Local Displays to be Better Than
Ever Before and to Cover a Larger
Field Than in Previous
Years
Demands for space at the state fair
are increasing so rapidly that the offi
cials have had to add tent after tent
to the enclosure that was originally
set apart for the exhibits.
Almost as rapidly as the tents are
given their certain places on the
grounds, the exhibits that are pouring
in fill them up and others have to
be added. This is the status of af
afris, according to Secretary Freytag
of the Commercial club, who has just
returned from a trip to Salem where
he was arranging for the Clackamas
county exhibition there.
Many excellent features have been
planned for this year's exhibit. The
juvenile shows, the eugenics depart
ments and other features of the kind
are bringing in their exhibits by the
train load to the grounds.
Clackamas county will have the gi
gantic county exhibit that will show
all of the products of the county as
they are produced on the farms in the
Willamette' valley. In addition, will
be an exhibit by the Dougherty bro
thers, by) the juvenile departments
and by the city and district of Molalla.
WIFE'S LOSS DRIVES
JURIST TO SUICIDE
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 6 Unbear
able grief over the death of his wife
is known today to have prompted the
suicide of former Superior Judge J.
S. Noyes, who killed himself by swal
lowing laudanum after he had soothed
his last hour by reading a chapter
from Tolstoi's "Resurrection."
Judge Noye's body was found in
Sycomare park at sundown yesterday.
In his lap was the book, and a note
explaining the act. It read: "It is
little use for me to try to live longer.
It was a happy home for me with Fan
nie, and I have constantly mourned
her death ever since, day and night.
I am now utterly exhausted with sor
row." Judge Noyes was the first judge of
the Riverside county superior bench.
Se served there 12 years and recently
came to Los Angeles.
EXPERTS TELL HOW
TO RESTORE SOIL
OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE, Corvallis, Ore., Sept. 6 The
best way to restore depleted orchard
"soils and put them in the best condi
' tion to nourish old trees is by sow
ing them to cover crops, according to
investigations made by Professor C.
I. Lewis, horticulturist of the Oregon
Agricultural College.
Although young orchards flourish
best under clean cultivation, this is
because the plant food in the soil is
made available more rapidly. Thus
it is seen that cultivation, while it
hastens the growth of young trees in
new soils, burns out the humus and
nitrogen content, maging the soils
poor in plant food and lumy in tex
ture. As the age of the orchard increas
es the trees show a lack of nourish
ment by the size and quality of their
fruit, and it is with difficulty that
average crops of fully matured fruit
can be grown. It is at this stage of
the orchard's progress that cover crops
are needed.

PRIZE CHICKS
GIRLS RAISE WINNERS AT FAIR
IN ESTACADA AND TAKE ALL
PREMIUMS OFFERED
COMMUNITY FAIR IS FUTURE PLAN
Big Crowd Attends Exhibition and
Sees Displays of all Kinds that
have been Produced by School
Children
A Brahma chicken four months old
and weighing five pounds was one of
the features of the Estacada school
fair held in the power-house city Sat
urday, and declared by all who saw it
to have been one of the most promis
ing juvenile displays ever given in
thi3 county. The five pound chick
was developed by Ruth Githens, who
also gathered in the prize for Brahma
pullets.
Girls take Prizes
Another school giri, Abbie Wagner,
took two of the prizes offered for
Plymouth Rocks, she having exhibited
the best graded chicken and cockrel
of this species. Other prize winning
chickens were a Brahma cockral grown
by Everett Shipley and a Plymouth
Rock pullet grown by Earl Gibson.
The contest in chickens was known
as the "Shearer Chicken Race", a
school patron named Shearer having
given 20 of the Estacada school child
ren each ten eggs four months ago.
The children took the eggs to their
homes, had them hatched out, and
raised the chicks as best they could.
Big Crowd
An excellent attendance marked
the Estacada Juvenile fair, the second
of a series of nine to be held in the
county this year. There were 66 ex
hibitors who had on display 141 en
tries. Particular merit was found by
the judges in the display of cakes
made by the girls and in collections
of native woods gathered by some of
the boys. A derrick, entirely design
ed and made by some of the boys also
received favorable mention. The best
display of vegetables was grown by
George Hackenrider.
Interesting Talks
School patrons who attended the
fair listened to interesting talks by
Superintendent Churchill, Professor
Griffith, of the Oregon Agricultural
college, and Professor T. J. Gary, coun
ty school superintendent. Following
this they determined to hold a com
munity fair next year in conjunction
with the school fair and John Ely,
Mts. A. W. Botkin, J .A. Shibley. F.
J. Harkenrider, Charles Duncan and
H. M. James were named as a com
mittee to arrange the matter.
Music was furnished at the fair by
the Currinsville band and domestic
science work Was demonstrated by
the girls in the form of refreshments.
The exhibit included work of pupils
in all grades of the grammar and high
school.

AFTER TERRIBLE FIRE
HOT SPRINGS, Ark., Sept. 6.
More than 2500 persons are homeless,
$12,000,000 damage is done and 60
blocks of this city, covering haif a
mile wide and a mile and a half long
are in ruins today through a disas
trous fire which started yesterday af
ternoon and did not burn itself out
until 3 o'clock this morning at the
foot of the West mountain, the south
ern limit of the city.
Citizens patrolled the burning sec
tion all night and prevented looting.
Governor Hays, who is here, took full
charge of the situation today, and it
is probable that United States troops

UP BV DYNAMITE
SAN DIEGO, Cal., Sept. 6. Peter
Hansen, an aged retired capitalist, re
siding on the outskirts of the city, was
killed by a dynamite outrage which
wrecked his house at 3:10 this morn
ing.
The dynamite was placed on a sill
in the house foundation at a place
supposed to be directly under Hansen's
bed . Hansen was the only ocupant
of the house last night, so far as is
known.
Chief of Police Wilson said today
that he believed the explosion was of
black powder instead of dynamite. He
added that Peter Peterson Hansen had
long had socialist affiliations, but was
at a loss .to imagine a motive for the
supposed crime.

Secretary Guards His
Exhibits From Eager
County Farmers
So interested in the new wheat that
P. O. Chindgren has produced are the
farmers of the county that Secretary
Freytag of the Commercial club has
had to stand guard over the exhibits
that he has collected of the product
for the state fair.
Many of tha farmers of the county
are pouring into the secretary's of
fice and demanding samples of the
wheat for their own farms. The
samples that have been collected for
the sUte fair are in the office of the
secretary in the club office and have
been arranged for a place in this coun
ty's exhibits.
Some time ago P. O .Chindgren cros
sed the Siberian wheat and the regu
lar corn wheat, producing a new grain
that has not yet been named. Many
of the farmers have asked for samples.

The Queer Parson Bird.
A queer bird is the poe honey eater
of New Zealand. Its throat is adorned
with small white feathers, which, from
their resemblance to clerical bands,
have gained for it the name "parson
bird." Its metallic green plumage.
with bronze and purplish reflections, is
very beautiful. Its long and rather
slender beak is curved. It has rather
large feet, and the length of its tail is
considerable. Its food consists of ber
ries, insects and honey. It has an ex
tensile tongue, the tip of which is
forked and. being covered with fibers,
forms a kind of brush, most useful to
the parson bird in gathering its food.
It is a good songster and mimic.

of the immigrants. America has

are more people who have the

WILLIE RITCHIE A
REAL CHAMPION
His Defeat of Rivers Makes
Him Worthy of the Title.
GROSS !N LINE FOR HONORS
New Yorker Whipped Anderson In
Masterly Style May Be Matched
With Ritchie Shortly Battle Be
tween Pair Would Be a Good One.
By TOMMY CLARK.
That Willie Ritchie has shown him
self to be a chauipiou worthy of the
name will be a good' thing for boxing
in general. Of late, in some quarters,
it has been thought the proper thing
to sneer at all present day glove
wielders.
The parugrapuers. who, in their ef
forts to show their wit. are careless of
exact fact, have been Deglecting no
opportunity to bold them up to ridi
cule. Even those who try to be fair
and just have been forced to admit
l that the supply of real champions is
1 limited. All this adverse comment has
i hurt boxing- If Ritchie proves to be
; as willing as he is capable be can do
: much to refute the skeptics and revive
: interest in the game.
There was much doubt before the
Ritchie-Rivers bout as to the fitness of
1 the champion for the position he holds.
At that he figured to beat the Mexican,
who had often shown himself to lack
the determination and courage neces
sary in a high class ring man.
Rivers ran true to form. In many
I respects his work was a duplicate of
that in his last bout with Leach Cross
in New York. In that affair Rivers be
gan well. He tore In with straight
lefts that seldom missed. He took a
big lead, and it looked a certainty that
he would win. But Cross, who had
been trying in vain to land his noted
right, suddenly changed his tactics.
He began to lead with his left The
blows were not very hard, but at once
there was a change in the Mexican's
work. He still dfved (n without ces
sation, but with this notable difference:
It was merely for the purpose of ob
taining the protection of the ensuing
clinch. His nerve had gone. To pro
tect himself was his main thought
Although be was winning so easily
during the first half of the bout, he
was outgamed. and outfought In the
second.
Pretty much the same thing hap
pened in California recently. Rivers
did well as long as he was in front,
but the moment he was stung all the
fight left him. But for thi3 failing
there might still be hope for him, but
the probabilities are he will never be
bo prominent again.
With Rivers out of the way Leach
Cross is now the foremost contender,

CHERRYVILLE.
New rorker met Anderson. Cross al
ways did' have many followers in the
east who believed him to be of cham
pionship caliber, and if Ritchie decides
to meet him the sporting world will
pay strict attention to the match.
Those who are acquainted with the
.New Yorker's strong and weak points
will hardly give Cross more than a fair
chance of winning. Against a polished
boxer Cross fails to make much head
way, although he is bad medicine for a
rushing slugger. Still Cross is a hard
man to figure. He usually does the un
expected. LASKER MAKES MATCH.
Chess Champion Agrees to Play Rub
instein of Russia For World's Title.
Dr Emanuel l-asker, chess champion
of the world, has at last consented to
play a match for his title. His oppo
nent will be A. K. Rubinstein of Rus
sia, and when all is said Rubinstein
deserves the honor. The work of this
young player for the last year has been
the most remarkable exhibition of
chess ability since the meteoric career
of Paul Morphy.
Dr Lasker's gameness in selecting go
formidable an antagonist will do much
to" restore, confidence in the "old mas
ter," which was souiewhat shaken by
bis unfortunate quarrel with Capa
blanca. Indeed, the Cuban has hardly
shown the class necessary for a chal
lenger for the world's highest chess
honors during the last year, while Ru
binstein during the past season estab
lished a record for consecutive victories
in international master tournaments,
five, which has neTer been equaled.
He is the logical candidate for a
match with Lasker. Play in this great
event will probably start in April or
May. 1914.
WILSON SQUAREST PLAYER.
So Says Umpire Bill Klem of the Pitts

Umpire Bill Klem says Chief Wilson
of the Pittsburgh Ilrates is one of the
squarest ballplayers in the game. He
relates an anecdote of a game in Phila
delphia when he left a decision to the
chief. There was a question as to
whether a long smash was fair or foul,
and Dooin protested Klem'a ruling of
the latter sort. Ivlem asked Wilson,
and the Pirate spoke honestly, though
against his own team, saying It was
fair.
