GREAT STATE FAIR SURE
XEVER WERE THERE SUCH PREP
ARATIOXS AT SALE 31.
Provisionals Even llecn Made for
Sad Weather Woodmen Arrange
. , for a Bis: Time.
SAL.EM, Sept. 20. Hain or shine the
State Fair will he open every day next
week, and the people who come Trill be
cared tor. Taught ty experience, the
State Fair Board has prepared for just
Buch things as untimely rains. It will
need to be a very heavy rain that inter
fere with the fair In the least, and at
the worst there can be nothing but the
inconvenience of carrying an umbrella.
Granite walks connecting all the different
departments Insure dry footing, and the
enlarged buildings will furnish accommo
dations for the crowds of people who
come. The racetrack has been tiled, eo
that it will not be injured by rain, and
a large auditorium, built upon modern
plans, jhas been provided for the evening
Entertainments. The evening entertain
ments alone, consisting of the best of
vocal and Instrumental music and acro
batic work by professional athletes, will
be worth coming to the fair to enjoy.
All seats will be free and none reserved.
A full view of the stage can be had
from any seat on the floor or in the gal
lery. "Woodmen Will Initiate.
The Woodmen of the World will initiate
555 candidates on Friday evening of next
week. Governor Geer will be the most
distinguished of the new members of the
order. AL D. Wisdom, secretary of the
State Fair Board, will be most thor
oughly Initiated into the secrets of the
order, and has been assured that when
the degree teams are done with him he
wlli be a good Woodman. This great
meeting of Oregon Woodmen of the World
will be held in the grandstand, beginning
at about 10 P. M. Friday night. The can
didates and degree teams will have for a
floor the racetrack in front of the stand.
Canvas walls will be stretched to keep
out uninvited- guests, and pickets will be
stationed to keep intruders at a safe dis
tance. The Woodmen have erected attractive
headquarters just east- of the pavilion.
The structure was built of logs, and Is
surmounted with the letters W. O. W.
formed of crooked limbs of oak trees. It
is expected that several thousand Wood
men will be on the grounds Friday.
Elaborate Decorations In Pavilion.
Charles- A. Murphy, superintendent of
the pavilion, has spent the greater part
of this -week decorating the pavilion and
the auditorium. Hundreds of yards of.
bunting have been used, and all has been
arranged "in attractive designs. The per
sons who are installing the county ex
hibits are taking particular pains to ar
range their grasses, grains and fruit in
pretty and novel patterns, so as to draw
the greatest degree of attention. The art
department is In charge of Mrs. J. N.
Brown, a well-known Salem artist, who
has executed some excellent paintings In
oil. The blgr rush of preparation Is now
on, and it will not cease until the hour
arrives for opening the gates to the pub
lic next Monday morning. Carload after
carload of livestock has been received dur
ing the last few days, and the greater
part is yet to arrive. The Southern Pa
cific has opened Its telegraph, passenger
and freight offices at the Fair Grounds,
and has prepared to handle promptly all
traffic at that place.
The Salem Light. Power & Traction
Company has repaired both Its lines from
the business part of the city to the Fair
Grounds, and has replaced all the poles
on the narrow-gauge line with new and
better poles. This Insures prompt and
quick service to visitors to the fair. The
fair board has made a contract by which
the electric light company furnishes 30
arc lamps this year, whereas but 15 were
provided last year. The lamps will be of
greater candle power than last year, and
at night the grounds will be nearly as
light as day.
School and College Exhibits.
Judging by the number and class of en
tries made In the floricultural department,
it may safely be said that the flower gar
den, on the south side of the pavilion,
will be a bower of beauty unsurpassed.
Oregon is one of the best flower gardens
in the world, and. the beet flowering plants
in Oregon are always sent to the fair.
Suitable premiums are each year offered
for the best specimens of flowers, both
common and rare, and, though this de
partment does not attract as great popu
lar attention as do the departments de
voted to industrial exhibits, there are
many who cultivate their plants the
whole 5rear with a view to exhibiting them
at the state fair.
Floorer Gardens a Bovrer of Beauty.
Two of the most interesting and instruc
tive Individual exhibits at the fair will
be those placed by the industrial depart
ments of the Chemawa Indian Training
School and the State Agricultural College
at Corvallls. Few realize the extent of
the practical education given at these in
stitutions until they have seen specimens
of the work of the students. "It looks
Just as though it was made In a factory."
is a comment often heard when visitors
examine a harness made at Chemawa or
a piece of iron or woodwork turned out by
a student at Corvallls. As a matter of
fact, the product of these institutions is,
from the standpoint of quality, the su
perior of factory articles, and, in the
matter of appearance, the factory-made
goods have no advantage. In the Agri
cultural College exhibit will be shown
specimens of every sort of bug, however
large or small, that ever infested a farm,
field or orchard in Oregon. However re
pugnant looking or beautiful they may be.
each is there In a glass case, with a pin
stuck through his back, or, If he be
smaller than a Din. with a small spot of
mucilage holding him to a card.
Farmers who are contemplating send
ing their boys to college should come to
the state fair and see the character -of
work boys are taught to do at the State
Agricultural College. While only a few
samples of work can be shown, there Is
enough to indicate the general plan of
instruction at that institution.
XOJS--R.ESPECT OF LAW ALLEGED.
Stockholders' KlRlif Over the Salem
Cannery Is Wn-vlng Warm.
SALEM, Sept. 20. George, W.vHolcomb,
one of the stockholders of the Allen
Packing Company, of this city, arid of
the Oregon Packing Company, of Port
land, was arrested today upon the charge
of violating an injunction recently issued
by Judge Boise, of the Circuit Court. One
of Holcomb's employes was also arrested,
and both have been, held under $200 bonds
to appear for trial next Monday. This
pceedlng Is a part of the fight that Is
one for the control of the Salem cannery.
.Several days ago W. K. and O. V. Alien
"brought a suit against Holcomb and
others to enjoin them from Interfering
with their free use of thB evaporating
plant on the cannery' premises. The Al
iens alleged the right of possession by
virtue of a lease. Judge Boise granted
a temporary injunction, and it is for an
alleged violation of this that Holcomb has
been arrested. It Is alleged by the Al
iens that Holcomb, "by one of 'his em
ployes, removed a part of the machinery,
so as to disable the plant.
Yesterday the Aliens began a suit to
have a receiver appointed for the Allen
Packing Company, the affairs of which
are in. control of Holcomb and his as
sociates. This case will also come up for
hearing next Monday.
WEALTH OF CLATSOP COUXTY.
AsseKKment Shows It $500,000 Grcnt
cr Sow Than Last Year.
ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 2a The assess
ment roll of property in Clatsop County
for the year 1901 was completed by As
sessor Carnahan today, and will be passed
upon by the Board of Equalization during
the coming week. It shows an" Increase
in taxable property over last year's roll
amounting to $511,411. The greater portion
of this Is on timber lands which are valued
at 51 to S per acre, whereas last year
t'hey were assessed for $l"to ?3. The total
taxable property of the county is fixed
at $3,198,159.
Cannery Is Getting: Few Fish.
The cannery of J. G. Megler, at Brook
field, is in operation, but few fish aTe
being secured, and these are received
exclusively from the traps. Five cents is
paid for each fish, and the expense of tak
ing them to the cannery Is added to this
'price. The fish are said to be of fair
quality.
NATURAIi GAS KEAR BAND OX.
Discovered by "Workmen Engaged in
Digging a Well.
BANDON, Or., Sept 20. What seems
to be natural gas has been struck In Cur
ry County, about 15 miles south of Ban
don. Workmen engaged in digging a well
on the ranch of William Button, of this
place, discovered the escape of gas at a
depth of 20 feet, and the quantity in
creased with the depth of the well, which
Is now down 40 feet. The gas appears in
jets, with a gentle whistle as it breaks
through the rock, and burns freely until
the -workmen tamp it in. The odor Is
Identical with that given off by gasoline.
On account of an explosion of gas last
Saturday, the diggers have quit and will
not continue the work of sinking. At a
depth of 35 feet, they undertook to put
down a hole with a sand auger, and had
sunk about five feet when-a rock was
encountered. Unable to go further, the
auger was raised and one of the work
men dropped a lighted match Into the
space, with the result that an explosion
followed, the force of which tore out one
side of the hole. "
The formation Is recurring strata of
black shale, with Intervening strata of a
grayish rock, of which latter an occa
sional boulder or nodule Is found. Ser
pentine, also, is encountered. The black
shale readily slacks and takes on a pearl
gray shade on exposure to the air and
light, while the gray formation seems to
be impregnated with oil, as It is greasy
to the touch and burns freely."
GEISER OUT OF THE BRAZOS MIXE.
Sella His Interest to Men From The
Dalles for $40,000.
BAKER CITY, Sept 20. The Brazos
mine, consisting of group of claims in the
"Virtue district, about a year ago owned
by the Blewetts, of- Nebraska, and aft
erwards bought Into by Albert Gelser, of
this city, have changed hands again.
Mr. Geiser today sold his interest to
W. E. Miller and W. P. Young, of The
Dalles, for ?40,000.
Will Bore for OH at Once.
There is considerable excitement here
over the oil fields in Malheur County.
Several Portland, Spokane and Baker
City capitalists have formed a company
and located several sections of land. The
company will bore a well just as soon
apparatus Is received from California.
Experts, who have been over the district,
say Indications are very promising for
large oil wells.

upon the boxes. The number of teams
and men placed at work was about the

to be no probability of a settlement at

down to a grim siege, while the employers

the strike is not retarding their business '
to nearly so great a degree as It did at
first.
Secretary Rosenberg, of the Labor
Council, said this morning that he had
his office force sending out about 30,000
boycott circulars, asking that laboring
people withhold their patronage from a
number of Arms, which are actively Iden
tified with the Employers' Association.
Sporadic assaults on nonunion work
men continue. The Post this afternoon
asserts that a committee of vigilantes is
being formed for the purpose o"C putting
to an. end all lawlessness. The movement
Is not particularly aimed at the strikers,
It Is said, but against a large class which
has taken advantage of the fact that the
.. .... - ... . . ...
police are detailed on strike duty, to fol
low their natural bent for robbery and
burglary.
Grain brokers In this city report today
that the situation at the various points
of shipment is unchanged. Very little
grain Is being moved, and the men at
work are few In number. They are re
quired to be under constant protection,
and are boarded and lodged In the ware
houses, restrained by fear of violence
from mingling with the people on the out
side. At Port Costa and at Stockton the
work is proceeding slowly. Immense
quantities of grain are stored at both
places, and the warehouses are taxed to
their full capacity most of the time. The
farmers are deeply concerned over the, se
rious phase of the situation, and have
Intimated that If necessary they will send
a body of armed men to Port Costa to see
that the grain handlers are protected
from any threat of Interference.
George W. McNear declared this morn
ing that there is more wheat on the move
than many supposed, but that the situa
tion is nevertheless an unpleasant one.
"In Tulare County," said he, "there are
a couple of hundred thousand sacks wait
ing to be shipped and threatened by ex
posure. The warehouses are crowded, Re
ports have been constantly circulated to
the effect that only about 30 per cent of
the grain at Port Costa Is being moved.
These reports are absolutely untrue. The
fact is we are handling 75 per cent of the
wheat shipped to Port Costa, and the
situation Is improving, although slowly."

Mrs. Stutz wrote this letter because she felt it was her duty to write
became she wanted suffering women to take
and find the same relief she found. The reputation of this pure Wine rests upon what 1,000,000 cured
women like Mrs. Stutz say of it 1,000,000 American women who know the distress, agony, terror
and anguish, humiliation and despair that female troubles bring to a modest woman. We tell you
that this curse this misfortune may be banished forever by the use of Wine of Cardui. Wine of
Cardui will regulate menstrual derangements just as surely ai the moon regulates the tides. It is a
simple, bitter, vegetable wine, perfectly harmless under all circumstances, and used in connection with
Thedford's BlackDraught, to assimilate and digest its virtues, it will regulate the menstrual habit, stop
the pp.ins, restore the menses when suppressed, stop them when flooding, prevent miscarriage, make
the period ef pregnancy plcasanter, confinement easier and recovery quick. Procure a bottle from
your druggist and take it in the privacy of your home. You cannot doubt this.

Slmvrl With a History.
OLYMPIA, Sept. 20. Covering the
speaker's table at the public memorial
exercises In this city yesterday was a
crape shdwl that has had an interesting
history. The shawl 13 the property of
Mrs. William McMicken, of this city, and
has been in her family for at least half
a century. It accma fated to do duty as
It did yesterday, for on three similar oc
casions the shawl has covered the speak
er's table at the memorial services for
-Presidents ' of this country.
When President Lincoln's memprlal ser
vices were held throughout the country,
the parents of Mrs. McMicken resided at
Lake Mills.. Wis., and on that occasion
the shawl was first brought intc- requisi
tion to cover the speaker's table. Again
when the Garfield ceremonies were held
the shawl did a similar service, this tlms
at Mentorville, Minn., where Mrs. Mc
Micken'a family then resided. A number
of years later when the Grant memorial
services were held in this city, in Colum
bia Hall, the shawl was again brought
forth and adorned the speaker's table.
When it was determined to hold the Mc
Klnley services in this city, Mrs. Mc
Micken remembered the shawl and kindly
tendered its use to the committee, and
yesterday It repeated a service which It
is hoped may be its last of a similar char
acter. Water Famine at Dayton.
For the first time in years there 13 a
water famine at Dayton. The flouring
mills there are closed down because there
Is not' enough water to furnish power to
keep them moving. After years of opera
tion without a hitch, except for lack of
grain, not a wheel Is turning, and a large
force of men It idle. Is'o rains and the
fact that less than the ordinary amount of
snow fell last Winter in the mountains
which are drained by the Touchet River
Is the cause. Only the flouring mills are
Idle from the fact that the electrical plant
Is located on a private race, and is also
capable of being operated by steam power
In the event, the water supply proves In
adequate. This tie-up in the mills Is caus
ing some trouble because of the exces
sive amount of wheat constantly coming
in. and farmers as well as mill men are
praying for an increase of the volume
in the races. Should the present condi
tion continue considerable distress will
result.
