THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 21, 190 HELPS ALL OREGON State Fair Is a Great Benefit to Every Industry, HIGH PRIZES START RIVALRY Board of Agriculture Believes Annual Fair Will Not Interfere With the Lewis and Clark Expo sition Next Year. SALEM, Or., Dec 20. (Special.) The State Board of Agriculture held Its' an nual meeting today, re-elected all the offi cers of last year, and was unanimous In the opinion that a State Fair shall be held In 1305. The officers elected Are as follows: . President, W. H. Downing; -vice-president, Jasper Wilkins; secretary, Wylle A. Moores; .treasurer, A. Bush. The members were of the opinion that the State Fair will not interfere with the Lewis and Clark Exposition, nor will the Lewis and Clark Exposition prevent the State Fair from being successful. Of the earno opinion was TV. M. Ayers, who has handled the pool-selling prli'ileges at the Fair for several years. Mr. Ayers was present and showed his confidence in the success of the State Fair in 1905 by offer ing to pay 51200 for the betting privilege next Fall. At the last State Fair he paid $1050. He offered to pay $2400 for the bet ting privilege in 1905 if the Fair should be held two weeks. The president's annual report says in part: "Of recent years those who are ac quainted with the State Fair and its re sults have been and are very proud of it. It has accomplished wonders for the live stock interests of Oregon and the great Northwest. The system of liberal pre miums, which has prevailed for some years, has aroused a spirit of rivalry Among the breeders of fine stock that has resulted in exhibitions at our fairs which could not be excelled in any part of the world. It has stimulated the improvement of breeds to such an extent that one of Oregon's citizens was able to go back to St- Louis this year, enter Into competition with' the world's stock and carry oft blue ribbons. "This fact alone Is worth more to Ore gon as an advertisement than all the money which has been expended on the State Fair for ten years, and this fact was made possible only through the influ ence of our annual Fair. The beneficial effects of these exhibitions are not only noticeable in the greater number and finer quality of each year's showing by ex hibitors, but can also be seen on every intelligently-kept farm in the state. Every poultry yard, every sheep paddock, every pig pen, every dairy, every horse corral, in fact every branch of Industry gives evi dence of that spirit of improvement which is the result of the displays made at our State Fair." Fair Successful Financially. The financial report shows that after paying all bills the board has on hand a balance of $48, part of which will be paid on bills audited today. In this connection the present board takes a fall out of the last board by showing some fallacies in its annual report. The last Board of Agri culture reported a balance of $4128.45 on hand at the end of its term, but Mr. Downing says that after making that re port the board drew warrants to the amount of $4611.14, leaving- a deficit of S2S2.i3. The total disbursements were $37,007.16. of which $4511.14 was for debts inherited from the previous board, leaving S32.3PS.02 expended by this board. Of the total expenditures, $10,382.75 was for pre miums and $12,185-for speed warrants. EVANS IS MAYOR AGAIN. Exciting Election, Including Liquor Question, Stirs Up Ashland. ASHLAND, Or.. Dec. 20.
