HIi airy Anions: Visitors The
6iced Programme.
J5AL.E-M, Sept 22. The finishing touches
'are being put upon the exhibits at the
Oregon State Fair, -which trill open to
rn rrow morning. I- C. Mosher, who
has charge of the racetrack, eays that
the trac Is already in good 'condition,
and unless foul weather succeeds, there
w il be nothing to mar the pleasure of
thr race meet. Even with light rains to-mcr-o-w
the track would be In good driv
ing condition, though slow.
A.A day and late into the night, on this
last day of preparation, there has been
a busy hum In every department of the
fair. When the gates open at 8 o'clock to
morrow morning, and the week of splen
did entertainment begins with a grand
musical parade, there will be nothing left
undone that could contribute to the suc
cess of the fair. Every stall in the live
stock department will be filled; every
coop and cage In the poultry department
will have an occupant; every foot of
space In the great pavilion will present its
display of raw or manufactured product;
the large glass refrigerator in the cream
cry building will be lined with huge tiers
of golden butter and adjacent tables will
be loaded with pyramids of cheese; the
merry-go-round will start on Its enchant
ing whirl, and scores of fast horses will
be skimming down the track getting In
trim for the afternoon contests. And from
the time the gates open at 8 o'clock in the
morning until they close at 12 o'clock at
night, there will be an endless round of
sight-seeing and pleasant entertainment.
In the forenoon -visitors will inspect the
industrial, art, machinery, creamery, poul
try and livestock departments, and at
tend the musical concert by the band; In
the afternoon there will be horseraclng,
interspersed with band music, and in the
evening a grand entertainment in the
auditorium. The opening address will be
given at S P. M. by Dr. James "Withy
combe, of Corvallls Agricultural College.
Governor Geer will deliver the address of
"welcome, and this will be followed by -a
musical festival. The famous Monmouth
band and orchestra will discourse its
hest music; the Alpine Glee Club will
render solos, quartets and glees, and Mrs.
Hallie Parrish-Hlnges will favor the audi
ence with two of her best solos. The
evening programme will be varied each
day and on Wednesday, Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday will include juggling
and athletic exhibitions- by professional
athletes.
Chcnp Meals at RHtttnrnnti.
The State Fair Board .has arranged so
that visitors who come to the fair early
in the morning can take their meals at
restaurants on the grounds without pay
ing exorbitant prices. Several large 'res
taurants have been opened, among them,
one by the ladies of the Baptist Church
and one by the ladies of the Catholic
Church. At any restaurant on the grounds
a first-class meal can be had for 25 cents.
Seats in the grandstand or in the auditor
ium are free. The aim has been to make
the state fair a popular exposition, which
every -citizen can afford to attend with
Ills family, and unreasonable charges of
any kind are discountenanced.
Ten County Fair.
The 10 county exhibits that have been
placed in position at the state fair are
really 10 county fairs brought to Salem
for the purpose of permitting the people
to judge of the relative character of the
products of the several sections of the
state. Each county has done its best,
and when it Is renAnh.rpd that the
Southern Pacific Company trans
ported all exhibits free of charge. It may
be easily believed that the counties did
not leave anything at home that would
Improve the displays or help to advertise
the communities they represent. While
the bst of good feeling prevails, it is
apparent that a lively contest is being
waged for first prize in county exhibits.
ICot the least interesting phase of coun
ty competition is the rivalry between Ma
rion and YamhIH for superiority. Last
year Clyde La Follett, a native of Ma
rlon County, put up the Marlon County
exhibit, assisted by W. A Jones, a neigh
bor, who had been a companion of La
Follett since early childhood. Kow La
Follett has moved over into Yamhill
County, and, with commendable pride in
the county of his adoption, he has under
taken to represent Yamhill County at
the fair. The duty and honor of repre
senting Marlon County has fallen upon
Jones, and that gentleman has under
taken to maintain the prestige "won by
La Follett. The two booths stand side by
side, cne on either side of the entrance
to the auditorium. Each of these two
young men has put up an exhibit that
calls forth exclamations of astonishment
and admiration from all who have vis
ited the pavilion.
Evcry-.Gonnty Stands a. Chance.
Wliile the contest for first prize does
not by any means lie between Marlon and
Yamhill, the circumstances under which
the displays have been made add peculiar
interest to the rivalry between these two
counties. The all-important question is,
Which will rank highest in the awards?
Benton, Linn, Polk and Washington have
each as large exhibits as those from Ma
rlon and Yamhill; and Jackson, Lane,
Douglas and Wallowa have displays of
smaller size which stand a chance to rank
first on quality. 2o one can say, when
the gates6rron tomorrow morning, that
any parScYilar county cannot win first
place. There are five premiums to be
awarded among 10 contestants, and, while
-the great battle Is for first premium,
there is a secondary Interest In the order
in which the other four prizes will be
awarded.
The people who have prepared the ex
hibits for their several counties are de
serving of high praise for their unselfish
loyalty and local pride. The several coun
ties are represented by the following per
sons: Benton, BL L. French and son; Douglas,
E. S. K. Bulck; Linn, J. R. Douglas and
"W. A. Eastburn; Lane, E. J. Frazler;
Marion, W. A Jones; Polk, Mrs. F. A
Wolf; Jackson, E. T. Hills; Washing
ton. F. M. Heidle and J. H. Sewall;
"Wallowa, L. J. Rouse; Yamhill, Clyde La
Follett.

Wedding at the State Fnlr.
Everybody la interested in a wedding,
and In order that people who are intend
ing to participate in such a proceeding
may learn how the thing is done, the
State Fair Board has induced a Salem
couple to be married in the Auditorium
at the State Fair. The wedding will take
place Thursday evening. In order to In
duce the young couple to take upon them
selves the marriage vows in the pres
ence of visitors at the State Fair, the
board was compelled to promise not to re
veal the names of the contracting parties.
While there are some people who are do
ing what they think is pretty accurate
guessing, no one will know for certain
who the persons are until Thursday eve
ning. Though the fair will not open until to
morrow, scores of people came in on to
day's trains to spend the week at the
State's Industrial Exposition. Hundreds
of people visited the grounds today to
view the nearly completed exhibits. The
greater crowds will come on the trains
Monday and Tuesday, with the greatest
of all on Portland day, Thursday. The
bright, clear weather gives assurance of
a larger attendance than has been had
any previous State Fair.
Heitmiller Bound Over.
TILLAMOOK. Or., Sept. 21. William
Heitmiller had a hearing before Justice
G. Handley on a charge of assault with
a deadly weapon and intent to kill Emil
Arndt at the Truckee Lumber Company's
mill at Hobsonville, on the 17th inst., when
he shot Arndt twice in the left side. The
Justice, after hearing several witnesses,
bound the prisoner over to the Circuit
Court and fixed the bond at 51500. There
is some probability of Arndt recovering,
but as one of the bullets passed through
his body, entering the left side and was
removed by the doctor on the right side,
serious complications may occur.
After a long spell of fine, dry weather,
the county was visited last night and to
day by heavy rain. It is a number of
years since the rivers were as low as
they have been this Fall.
Found Dy,in;r on the Track.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Sept. 22. An un
known man was found in a dying condi
tion by some laborers on the Portland,
Vancduver & Yakima Railroad at Dub-
lin Church, near Battle Ground, 15 miles
from here, this morning. When found,
the man was unconscious and died in a
few seconds. The body was carried to a
farmhouse and the report brought to the
Coroner. The man was a stranger here,
but from a day-book tfound on the body,
his name is believed to be Beacham. He
appeared to be about 60 years old.

WALLA WALLA, Sept. 22. In the
"early days" it was the custom to hold
an "agricultural fair" each Fall in Walla

from the city, at which were displayed
various products of the soil in a pavilion
built under the grandstand, erected for
the seating of those who wished to view
the races, while livestock was exhibited
In nearby corrals, pens and stables. These
degenerated into poor "race meetings"
and then died. When the World's Fair

1901- His best-known measure was the dairy
or process butter without Its being stamped
fruit was displayed through the tireless
efforts of Dr. N. G. Blalock, one of the
Washington Commissioners. At subse
quent, expositions held In Portland and
Spokane, Walla " Walla fruit won many
premiums. In 1S97, while fruit was being
gathered to display at Spokane and Port
land, the suggestion, "Why not hold a
fruit fair in Walla Walla?" permeated
the air. Steps to put the suggestion in
operation were taken by those engaged in
obtaining fruit to exhibit at Spokane,
the merchants and business men guaran
teed the cost, a hall was hired and
fitted up, music secured, the newspa
pers devoted much space to advertising
lt. and popular prices prevailing, the hall
was crowded day and evening by ladles,
gentlemen and children, one and all de
lighted with the fair. It was not over
before it was resolved to hold one the
next year. Over 7000 people paid admis
sion during the three days of the fair.
For the second, third and fourth- fruit
fairs a wooden structure, covered with
canvas, was erected on vacant 'ground
three blocks from the business center of
the city. Music and other attractions
were offered, in addition to the display of
fruits and vegetables, and the exhibitions
of merchandise made by merchants and
manufacturers. Over 20,000 people paid
admission to the second, over 30,000 tick
ets were cold for the third, and over 35,
000 were sold for the fourth fair.
For the fifth annual fair of the Walla
Walla Valley Association, which will te
opened tomorrow and will close Septem
ber 29, a tract of ground one square from
the center of the city has been secured,
on which has been erected a building 185
feet wide by 204 longr by nailing boards
18 feet long to heavy bottom and top tim
bers, the whole being cpvered with heavy
canvas, btreichiid oyer five frames shaped
like the letter A. The ground, covered
with sawdust; fcrms the floor. The 86
pillars wh'.-h support the roof have been
tastily decorated with green corn stalks
and sheafs of oats and wheat. Between
the pillars are hung huge rosettes made
of pumpkins and sheaf oats. The gutters
bear designs wrought with pieces of corn
stalk and heads of grain. On one dead
wall, large letters, made of sections sawed
from ears of corn, and tastily arranged
and decorated, make the legend, "Walla
Walla Fruits, Wheat and Vegetables Are
First in Quality, First in Quantity and
First on the Tables of the Country." Two
thousand incandescent lamps will turn
night Into day, while hundreds of vari
colored lights will give weird and start
ling effects from both the electric com
panies. On one side and end seme 200 feet are
devoted to a handsomely designed and
decorated booth In which the work of
the brains and hands of the ladles will
be displayed. Near it an extensive floral
display has been arranged. At one end
a large, handsome bandstand has been
erected, from which music will be fur
nished by the local band and Wagner's
Military Band, of Seattle. On the re
maining sides the merchants and manu
facturers have arranged booths for the
display of their wares. In front of these
booths are arranged stands for the dis
play of fruit. Between them are broad
aisles for the use of the people who wilt
congregate to view the products of the
soil and the skill and labor of men and
women.
An extensive and liberal cash premium
list has attracted many more fruit
raisers and growers of vegetables than
ever before. One special feature will be,
a display of the products of Chinese skill
and labor In the production of native and
Chinese vegetables. Taken all together,
the display of fruit and vegetables will
give the visitors from abroad a fair idea
of the capacities of Walla Walla soil.
The Elks are making great preparations
for a parade and unique amusements on
Wednesday.
The Eagles, which have a very large
membership, are busily engaged in prep
arations for a parade and amusements
designed to excel the efforts of the Elks.
Friday will be Eagles' day.
The Society of Pioneers is going to
have the old settlers appear with ox
teams, emigrant wagons, camp and hunt
ing equipages, like those used by them
when they crossed the plains In the good
old days. Pioneers' day will be Thurs

ber 25 Programme Arranged.
PENDLETON, Or., Sept. 22. November

Teachers Association, combined with the.
County Institute. State Superintendent
J .H. Ackerman was here yesterday and
met County Superintendent J. F. Nowlin
and E. B. Conklln, principal of the public
schools of Pendleton, constituting the ex
ecutive board. A programme was ar
ranged, on which will appear the names of
Silas Y. Gillan, of Milwaukee, Wis.; J. A.

Portland schools; Rev. Dr. S. B. L. Pen
rose, president of Whitman College, Walla
Walla; President Hawley, of Willamette
University; Rev. F. L. Forbes, president

over three days.
Insurance Rnte8 Reduced.
By reason of the improvements made
by the City Council in the waterworks
system, the board of underwriters of the
Pacific Coast has notified insurance
agents here that rates have been reduced.
On the annual premiums of $30,000 paid
by Pendleton property-owners. $3000 will
be saved under the new schedule of rates.
About $30,000 was expended In enlarging
the water mains, and in placing a new
engine and pumps. The capacity of the
system now Is 100,000 gallons a day, with
the pumps running for only about one
half the time.
Good Roads Movement.
Umatilla County proposes to experi
ment with crushed rock, on the county
roads. A rock crusher owned by the
town of Athena is to be used, and a sec
tion of public highway near that place
will be covered with the rock to be
crushed on the ground. Athena has im
proved a large extent of streets during
the past Summer, and has done so at
a cost much less than had been expected.
It is the intention, of Pendleton also to
utilize crushed rock, in the event the
experiments now being conducted prove
that It is economical and suitable to this
town.
Burglaries in Olympia.
OLYMPIA, Wash., Sept. 22. During the
past week several burglaries have . oc
curred in this city, in each Instance stores
in the-business district being entered and
robbed of small amounts in cash and
goods to a .limited amount. When the
burglaries were discovered It was appar
ent that they had been committed by the
same parties,, and It was the impression
that there was an organized band of the
culprits In the city. Yesterday, however,
Sheriff Mills arrested two boys, aged re
spectively 13 and 12 years, and after some
questioning on the part of the officer It
developed that the boys were the burg
lars in question. The boys are Frank
Green, the eldest, and Eugene Horton,
both sons of respectable parents. They
will be given an examination in the Su
perior Court tomorrow and probably spnt
to the State Reform School.

Ttto Members Formed a Combina
tion on Patronage and Barred the
Public From All Meetings.
OLYMPIA, Sept. 22. Several state pa
pers have devoted considerable criticism
during the past week to the -alleged star
chamber proceedings of the State Board
of Equalization, which concluded its an
nual session yesterday. Rather severe
inferences could be drawn from much of
the matter which has been published on
the board, and feeling has been aug
mented since the proceedings have been
made public. These proceedings show
that the assessment of the railroad prop
erty throughout the state has been cqual-
?

------ -c-fr--e--- 9
ized at $6600 a mile for main line track
age, while there has been a raise over
the general average of the county boards
of from 5 to 20 per cent on real and per
sonal property. The assessment on rail
road trackage last year was $10,500 per
mile.
Last week one of the Puget Sound
newspapers printed a story that the
board was acting In secret, and a predic
tion that when its proceedings were made
public there would be a surprise In con
nection with the railroad assessment.
This story caused two well-known railroad
lobbyists to hurry to Olympia, but their
coming did not head off the surprise; in
fact it was doubtless for the purpose of
making sure that the surprise did not
slip a cog. It came off as scheduled.
Former boards have made it a point to
give all their proceedings to the public,
and the correspondents of outside papers
have had no difficulty in securing the
news as it occurred dally. Not so with
this board, however. Its members or
rather a majority of Its members have
taken the position that the public was
not entitled to a knowledge of their do
ings until it suited( their good pleasure
to give It out. Yes'terday, the last day
that the board sat, was the first time the
correspondents were invited In and given
an opportunity to inspect the minutes.
Just what prompted the 20 days' star
chamber proceedings cannot be told, but
that such a method has resulted in criti
cism of the board can neither be denied
nor wondered at.
In another respect the board has been
unfortunate. It was born In inharmony.
Secretary of State Nichols and Land
Commissioner Callvert, comprising a ma
jority of the board, formed a combina
tion against Aualtor Atkinson, the third
member and the ex-officlo chairman, long
before the board met. Ex-Secretary of
State James H. Price had a letter in his
pocket for a month before the board
convened, appointing him as its clerk.
Mr. Callvert had also engaged a stenog
rapher from his own county (Whatcom).
When the board was about to meet
Auditor Atkinson entered a most vigor
ous protest against the parcelling out of
the patronage without his consent, and,
after a somewhat heated discussion, he
was permitted to name the stenographer.
Here alone did the combination give
way. It was perpetuated throughout the
session, and It Is evident that the real
business of the board was done by
Messrs. Nichols and Callvert.
As an evidence of the high-handed
manner in which the board did business,
one incident will suffice. A correspond
ent one day last week asked the board
while In session for an opportunity to In
spect the minutes. He was refused,
whereupon. In the name of the papers
he represents, he made a peremptory de
mand to be permitted to do so. This
time he was refused with emphasis, and
Mr. Nichols remarked:
"Oh, come on, and let's go to "work.
Let him publish what he d n pleases
in his paper."
Now that the manner In which the
board has done business has been called
to the attention of the public, the mem
bers of the aforesaid combination feel
aggrieved. Secretary of State Nichols
has a most unfortunate manner of deal
ing with the public, and the other mem
bers of the board realize that fact by
this time. In some unaccountable way
Mr. Nichols has become possessed of the
idea that he owns" in fee simple the of
fice to which he was elected. He also
has a delusion that he is the accredited
leader of the Republican end of the state
administration, and that as such, "the
king can do no wrong." In the present
Instance he seems to have brought down,
not only upon his own luckless head, but
upon that of Commissioner Callvert as
well, the condemnation of the publH
press. Some of the blame is attached
most unjustly to Auditor Atkinson, who
has been in a hopeless minority, and who
has been forced to "flock by himself."
DEEP MIXING.
An Expert on the Future of Eastern
Oregon Mines.
BAKER CITY, Sept. 21. Interest in the
mines of Eastern Oregon Is steadily In
creasing. Capitalists are beginning to
realize that the mineral resources of this
section of the state are practically unde
veloped, so to speak. This fact is evi
denced by the inflow of Eastern capital
during the past few months. It Is esti
mated that almost, if not quite, $500,000.
has been invested, or agreements made to
invest it, since the first of January this
year, and' this is exclusive of the big Bo
nanza deal, a portion of the purchase
price of which was paid over to the orig
inal owners this Spring.
There is no Indication of a boom in the
sense that that term usually implies, but
rather, there is a steady growth of con
fidence in the possibilities of the mineral
resources of this part of the State of Ore
gon, when fully developed.
A leading mining expert, who recently
made an examination of several promis
ing prospects in three different districts of
Eastern Oregon, has ventured the opinion
that mining Is in its Infancy In this re
gion, and, in advancing this opinion, he
takes into account the fact that this Is
one of the oldest mining fields in the
West. Basing his prophecy on the geo
logical formation of the country, which
he has studied In a limited manner, he
Insists that the greatest values will be
obtained from deep mining, something
which has not been tried heretofore. An
other theory which he advanced, and ho
appeared to be confident of his ground,
was that the most profitable and lasting
mine or mines hereabouts would be cop
per. While giving this as his opinion,
he did not wish to be understood as say
ing that gold mining would in any sense
be confined to the surface, because he
was looking after some gold propositions
into which his people would probably put
many thousands of dollars, and he did
not for a moment think they would be
mere surface diggings.
The Blue Mountain OH Company was
Incorporated in this city this evening
with a capitalization of $1,000,000. The in
corporators are: James A. Panting, K.
D. Carter, William Albrlcht, A. H.
Sprague and L. Crabel; directors, J. A.
Panting, L. Crabel and R. D. Carter.
The company Is organized to bore for
oil In Crook County, where a large body
of land has been acquired, on which the
Indications for oil are very promising. It
Is the intention to commence to bore for
oil just as soon as the necessary machin
ery canb e got on the ground.
The Eagleston stamp mill, on East
Eagle Creek, was purchased today by
Mat Baroch, the principal owner of the
Turner Oliver group of mines In the
Eagle Mountains. It is the Intention of
Mr. Baroch to start a large force of men
to work developing the mines In which
he is interested, and by March 1 he hopes
to have the ore bodies opened up suffi
ciently to keep the mill going.
A placer mine deal was closed today In
this city whereby David Cartwrlght pur
chased of W. D. Hiatt and wife two
groups of placer claims In Rye Valley for
$10,000 cash In hand.
The Moulder Boy group of six claims in
the Alamo district was sold yesterday by
Mcssrs Young and Morehead to C. O. Vin
cent for $25,000. One thousand dollars was
paid down and th balance. It is under
stood, will be paid before the end of the
year. A party of Iowa capitalists, It Is
said, are back of Mr. Vincent.
Publicly Ordnincd a Prle.st.
BOISE, Sept. 21. The most imposing
ceremony ever seen In the Catholic Ca
thedral took place at 8:30 this morning,
when Emlle Verbrughe was ordained a
priest. The ceremony was performed by
Bishop Glorleux, bishop of the diocese of
Idaho, assisted by Fathers Hendrickx
of Montpelier, Gulllaume of Nampa, Van
dcr Donckt of Pocatello, Nlstelrooy of
Weiser nnd Beusmans of this city.
St. John's Cathedral was handsome in
the extreme. The lights from electric
bulbs, candles and lamps with colored
shades cast a beautiful glow about the
building. The edifice was well filled with
communicants of the church, each with
a desire to see this mest interesting cere
mony, which is usually private.
The services were conducted under the
rites of the church when It was first
founded, and were beautiful and Impres
sive throughout. The priests assisting
were attired In the robes of their office.
the bishop's being especially beautiful.
When .he entered the church In company
of the assisting clergy, he stepped directly
to the altar, where he discarded the or
dlnary clothing of the priest and took
on those of the high priest or bishop. Over
all Is draped the special red robe of his
office, with a beautiful gold cross worked
upon It. Upon hia head he wore the mitre
of the priesthood, and he carried the
shepherd's staff in his hand at frequent
intervals.
