XHIBLTS OF STATE
Annual Fair at Salejn Will
Equal the Best
MM PRIZES ARE OFFERED
3-arge Number of Race Horses Now In
Training Breeders of Thorough
bred Cattle Will Make Good
Showing.
SALEM, Or.. AUff. 12. (Special.) From
information that has been, received by
Secretary Wylle A. Moores, of the State
Fair Board, it is evident that the State,
Fair next month -prill equal, if no,t excel
the splendid exposition -which, have been
ield hero for the last five years.
There are more horses in training on
Xone Oak track now than ever before at
this time of the year. Many breeders of
Jivestock who have never been here before
ere making arrangements to come with
ithelr herds, and the livestock department
will be as great an attraction as ever.
Space in thj main pavilion is being rap
idly taken for county and general premium
exhibits, and many new displays will
5e seen.
Woodmen day; Tuesday, September 13,
will be one of the great days of Fair week,
which begins Monday September 12. Six
nundred dollars have been put up as prizes
for the team drill contests, and a number
of smaller special premiums haye been
provided for. Thus far 10 or 12 team3
trom the large towns of the 6tate have
indicated their intention to enter the con
test and drill for the championship. A
three-days encampment is also in contem
plation, "but the plans for this have not
Seen completed.
It seems now that two of the county ex
hibit premiums will go begging unless two
more counties enter the contest. Eight
prizes are offered, and there are now only
sir entries Benton, Polk, "Washington,
Marion, Linn and Lane Cohntles. The pre
miums offered for county exhibits are:
First, $S00; second, $250; third, $200; fourth,
$150; fifth to eighth, $100. Each of the
counties entered with be certain of a
prize, the only contest being over the
order of the awards: Polk County now
2iolds first place, having carried away the
$300 last year.
Through the enterprise of J. N. Grieve,
immigration agent of the Dominion of
Canada at Spokane, the Canadians have
secured the best exhibit space in the pa
vilion. Mr. Grieve made-an early applica
tion, and was assigned the corner space
at the right of the main entrance. Here
he will install a display of the products
of the Northwest Territories, particularly
of Alberta. The purpose of the exhibit
is to show the people of this country what
opportunities are offered in the Canadian
Northwest, with a view to drawing set
tlers to that region. He intends to put
up an exhibit that will make a credit
able appearance in comparison with the
Oregon displays, and it will probably
take some work on the part of Oregon
producers to hold him level.
In the livestock department, most of
the new herds will come from California,
Among the breeders who have never ex
hibited here before, but who are now in
correspondence with Secretary Moores "are
Charles D. Pierce, of San Francisco,
breeder of Holsteins; J. H. Gilds, of Sac
ramento, breeder of Shorthorns; James
Whltaker, of Gault, CaL, breeder of Here
fords; F. I. Hodgkins, of Lathop, CaL,
breeder of draft and coach horses, and H.
'P. Eakle," of Woodland, CaL, breeder of
Shorthorns. It is- also probable that
Durham, Flelch'er & Colman,-of Wayne,
I1L, and Robert Buyers & Sons, of Wino
na. 111., will be here with their exhibits
of thoroughbred horses.
REMOVE NAME'S STIGMA.
Superintendent Requests New Title
for Reform School.
SALEM. Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) That
the name of the Oregon State Reform
Schooi be' changed to Oregon State In
dustrial School, is one of the recommen
dations made in the biennial report of
Superintendent N. H. Looney. This
change is advised because the present
name is to many a stigma of disgrace
when applied to youths whose characters
are not formed.
"It is not the intention of the state to.
brand these boys when what they want
is encouragement," says Superintendent
Looney.
The report is not yet complete in its.
statistical exhibit, as the statistical year
docs' not close until September 1. Be
sides setting forth the usual general in
formation regarding the work of the institution-
in its different departments, the
report says:
It would be -well to change the name of thla
- institution from' the Reform School to the
State Industrial School, or something of that
nature, and it is to be desired that the next
ceaslon of the Legislature consider this xriatter,
for te many the present name It a stigma o:
disgrace when applied to youths whose char
acters are not formed. It Is not the Intention
of the State of Oregon to brand the boys when
what thoy. need is help and encouragement.
Praise and courtesy shown these youths help
them, and It nhould be the aim of all they
come in contact with to advise instead of dU
trusting and criticising them.
It has been tho effort of the management to
see that the boys should have as often as pos
sible a short lecture by some practical business
man. They have been entertained on several
occasions by ministers, musicians, professors
-from the Oregon. Agricultural College, railroad
men, scientific farmers, and others. These
lectures are greatly enjoyed and appreciated by
the boyi, an they are attentive listeners.
The band is an especial feature of the school,
- and the boys- .make good progress, although
they have very poor instruments at present.
There are now 28 in the band, IS of whom are
quite proficient In music, and they have played
at ssveral- public gatherings this Summer.
DID NOT MAKE CONNECTIONS.
An Ordinance Is Passed to Stir Up
Property-Owners.
C0RVAI,LIS, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.)
The City Council has passed an ordinance
compelling all property-owners adjacent
to sewers to make necessary sewer con
nections. Corvallls has lately -completed
an expensive Tsystem of sewers, and a tour
of Investigation last week by the Health
Committee showed that In few instances
connections have been made. In block
11 there were found nine barns and 11
closets and not a -single' sewer connection,
although a lateral extends through the
entire "block. A similar condition of af
fairs was discovered in other parts of
the city, and" it was felt by ihe Council
that the money spent in completing the
main and laterals would be the same as
wasted unless they were used.
FOR MORE FISH LADDERS.
Gold Hill Citizens Ask for Better Sal
mbn Protection at Ray Dam.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 12. (Special.) The
obstruction of the Rogue River by the
Ray dam. near Gold Hill, has been, the
cause of further protests, and today Gov
ernor Chamberlain received a petition for
the- removal of the dam or the construc
tion of additional fishladders. "
Several letters have been received, at the
Executive ofllce recently on this subject,
aria Governor Chamberlain referred the
communications to Fish Warden Van
Dusen. In answer to this, Mr. Van Dusen
.wrote that although there are many fish
belpy the Ray dam, there aro butT few
being killed in their, effort to get above
the obstruction.
Today, however, a petition was received
from a large number of citizens of Gold
Hill, in which they protest against exist
ing conditions at Ray's .dam. They say:
"We do not-arer that the present fish
ladder is entirely, worthless, but we claim
that It is wholly inadequate to allow more
than a very small number of the salmon
to proceed up the Rogue River to their
spawning grounds.
"Thousands of fish are daily killed-at
this point und their decomposed carcasses
float down the river polluting the water
to a very serious extent, especially for
this town,- whose supply for drlnklns and
domestic -purposes is taken from the
river, and thus the health of this com
munity Is greatly endangered. Either ad
ditional flshladders should be provided at
once or the obstruction removed, and your
petitioners will ever pray."

ROB WHILE PEOPLE PASS.
Hoquiam Saloon's Cash Register and
Slot. Machines Are Pilfered. -
HOQUIAM, Wash., Aug. 12. (Special.)
A daring robbery was perpetrated early
this morning1 at the Elk bar. Mr. Hicks,
the proprietor, closed the establishment
as usual at midnight On opening this
morning it was found that the cash reg
ister had been broken into and' the con
tents extracted. The register, which was
a valuable one, was ruined..
Besides the register, the thief or thieves
broke open the slot machines, getting
about $45. It is presumed that the thief
was hiding behind the dooc. of a wine
room when the place was closed, as there
are no marks of the place being entered
from the outside. The curtains in front
of the saloon, which were drawn back by
the proprietor when he left, had "been
closed by the robbers, and the machines
carried bodily Into the back room.
It is somewhat surprising that so cen
trally located an establishment could be
operated upon so successfully, as people
are passing to and fro continually. The
robbery had no doubt been planned, and
It is quite certain that one of the thieves
had an accomplice, as the machines were
too heavy for one man to carry alone.
No clew has been obtained.

lng convicted, and he has- filed it at

dered a decision in favor of A- W. Ellis,
the applicant for a patent to placer min
ing ground extending over a portion of

when Mr. Ellis sought to secure a patent

contest being that notices of the claim
ants had not been properly posted, also

rendered substantiates all claims of the
applicant for a patent. Attorney D. W.
Bartlett, of La Grande, was attorney for
Mr. Ellis and ex-Senator Smith,, of Baker
