the meeting, and fhey were representa
tive men from every part of the county,
were so earnestly In favor of a creditable
exhibit that they did not place any limit
upon the cost. The purpose Is to make
a display of Marlon County products that
will prove to visitors at the Fair -what
this part of the state can 'do, and count
"the cost afterward. This does not mean
that there will be extravagance in the
expenditure of money, but that the peo
ple believe that the opportunity now of
fered to advertise this county Is so great
that no expenditure judiciously made will
be Ill-spent. In other words, Marlon has
cone after the first prize In the .county
exhibit contest.
The work of planning and prepar
ing the exhibit was delegated to a
committee of nine, composed of the
three members of the County Court and
six other taxpayers, namely: County
Judge John H. Scott Commissioner Wil
liam Miley, Commissioner Isaac Need
ham, H. S. Glle, Salem; Walter L. Tooze.
Wood burn, D. H. Looney. Jefferson: F.
X. Derby, Salem; "V. A. Taylor. Macleay
and H. B. Thielsen, Salem. The commit
tee has organized by electing Judge Scott,
chairman, and Mr. Thielsen, secretary.
In order to insure systematic work,
avoid confusion and make certain that
no resource of the county is overlooked,
the details of the preparation of exhibits
were assigned to nine bureaus, each
member of the committee being the
chairman of a bureau. Each chairman
was authorized to appoint four other
members of his bureau, so that 45 men
"will be engaged in collecting exhibits.
The membership of the bureaus has not
yet been completed. The members of the
general committee have been assigned to
bureaus as follows: Judge Scott, educa
tion: Mr. Miley. mining; Mr. Needhaift,
grasses, Mr. Glle, fruits; Mr. Tooze,
hops; Mr. Looney, dairying; Mr. Derby,
timber and manufacturing; Mr. Taylor,
grains: Mr. Thielsen. wool and mohair.
"While we are after the first prize in
the competition, that is not our primary
object." said Judge Scott, In speaking of
the plans of the committee. "Our pur
pose is to put up the best exhibit we can
in advertise Marion County and the
State of Oregon. Wo hope to see every
other county do the same, and if they
surpass us. all right. An exhibit that re
flects credit upon the county that pre
pared it is a good advertisement for the
entire state. Whatever helps some other
county helps us, and for that reason we
hope that every county will be repre
sented at the Fair by an exhibit that will
make the visitors from the East wish
they lived in Oregon, and that will induce
them to conic here to make their homes."
MORROW.
THE exhibit of Morrow County "will
consist of livestock, wool, grains,
grasses, fruits, vegetables and fuel.
W. O. Minor's herd of Shorthorn cattle,
bred and raised by htm near Hcppner,
which took prizes at the Chicago Expo
sition, at St. Louls-and have won medals
and cups wherever exhibited In Oregon
and Washington, will be at the Expo
sition. Morrow County has grown sheep since
her earliest settlement and her ranges
now support 250.C00 head. The pick of
these flocks will be sent to the Lewis and
Clark Fair. Pure strain Ramboulllets
from the breeding-farm of James Nunns
maker, high-bred Merinos and Llncoln
shlres from the ranges of Ed F. Day,
and great stocky Cotswolds from the pas
tures of those growers who fancy this
class of animals, will show what Morrow
County has in 'the way of fine shep,
while the wool grown on these high
class animals, their ancestors and pro
geny, some of it weighing 30 pounds p
the fleece, will demonstrate that Morrow,
with her yearly clip of a couple million
pounds of wool, Js doing her full share
in this industry.
Our county produced this year 1.750,000
bushels of grain wheat, barley and rye.
From tills crop the" best specimens, both
In the straw and in the berry, have been
selected for our exhibit. Our display of
xxalns will contain samples of club,
bluestem, red chaff, Mediterranean and
maccaroni wheat, bearded and beardless
barley, white and Russian rye as good
as any grown In the world.
We "will have samples of alfalfa which
3 ields three crops a year, giving a yearly
product of six to ten tons of hay for each
acre sown, as well as samples of Italian
rye and other grasses.
In the line of fruits we will have ap
ples, pears, peaches, plums, prunes, apri
cots, nectarines and the small fruits
which. In size and quality, will not be
surpassed by the fruits of any part of
the state. We now have In our fruit
exhibit apples which weigh 40 ounces
each, plums and prures three of which
All a small fruit jar, and even gooseber
ries which are as large as pullets' eggs.
We will send to Portland a display of
coal from the Heppncr mines.
In short we will furnished a large ex
hibit of the materials with which we are
feeding, clothing and warming our full
share of the people to whom we have
access. As the products of our fields,
herds and flocks during the year Just
closed brought to our small population
of 5000 people over $2,000,000. and as In
consequence we are all prosperous and
happy, we expect to exhibit at the Ex
position most of our people.

AT the July term of the County Court
J. H. Smith was appointed to gather
samples of the best grains and grasses
he could And in the county and later I
asked F. E. Brown to gather a se
lection of fruits. They have both done
their duty well and we now have gath
ered together as line a" lot of samples of
wheat, barley, oats and rye as can
well be found anywhere In the straw.
We will also have a lot of samples of
grain as It has come from the thresher,
which I do not believe can bo beat by
any county In" the State of Oregon.
This county Is mainly known as a
grain-producing country, but we expect
to show some fruits which will compare
favorably with the product of some of
cur far-famed fruit counties. Mr. Brown
has gathered and preserved from the
orchards along the Columbia River about

TO FURNISH a short article descrip

Wasco County Is going to make a strong
effort to be In the lead In the fruit ex

Court has already bought about 250 boxes
of the finest apples that grew in the
county this year, and now has them In

apple exhibit that means something. In

cumbers six, onions six, celery three,
corn four, melons six, peppers three,
peas six, tomatoes, six, squash six, tur

An effort will be made to eliminate

There have been planted a number
of varieties of choice orchard and

other point will be to give an example
of PaciAc Coast methods in training
