Stalls, stables and runways lor the live stock exhibit, which opens Soptombor IS, were completed yesterday, after nearly two months of labor. Everything Is now In readiness for the groat Lewis and Clark livestock show which opens next Tuesday morning. Announcement was made yesterday of the list of Judges for the display. The names are those of prominent experts on stock, and are mostly from the Middle "West. Communications were sent out during ttte day directing the judges to re port for duty at once. Many shipments of fine stock are al ready on hand and are being rapidly as signed to oxhibit stalls. Three herds of Shorthorn cattle arrived yesterday morn ing from Spokane. In addition to these animals, there have arrived during the past weok one herd of Holstelns from California, three herds of Shorthorns frqm California, two -cars of Shorthorns from Oregon breeders, one car of draft horses from California, and 18 cars of mixed stock from the East. During the next week shipments -will arrive dally In large numbers. In all there aro 2000 en tries, and the exhibitors who were award ed space have given the assurance that they will be on hand. Should any fall, othors are anxiously awaiting a place in line. There will be distributed $50,000 in cash premiums. However, money inducements are not the incentive for participation in any case, as the largest single prize of fered Is J100. Breeders always reap great benefit from such exhibits. The greatest benefit of this exhibit will accrue to the Pacific Northwest. It is expected that the fact will be established of Oregon's superior advantages in breeding. The standard in the Northwest will also bo raised to a much higher degree than at present exists. Interest, too, in the live stock Industry will be stimulated, and the breeding of better stock In all parts of the Coast encouraged. The judges, whose, names were an nounced yesterday by M. D. "Wisdom, who has organized the exhibit and who Is in charge, are as follows: Horses R. B. Oglesby. of Chicago; W. H. Dobson, of Marlon, O.; and Professor O. F. Curtis, of Ames, la. Cattle B. O. Cowan, of Chicago; George F. Bellows, of MarysvHle. Mo.; W. R. Spann, of Dallas, Tex., and Professor C. S. Plumb, of Columbus. Sheep and Goats Richard Gibson, of Ontario, Canada; Dwight Lincoln, of Mil lord Center, O., and A. A. Batos. of Ohio. Swine G. G. Council, of Vandalla, III. The work of judging the stock will be jrln with the oponing day and continue until all the awards have been made. The exhibit Is located on Government Island, and has sufficient space for showing horses and cattle, to the very best ad vantage. LESSONS IN BUYING GOWS DAIRY AUTHORITIES WILL GIVE DEMONSTRATIONS AT PAIR, September 20, Set as Dairymen's Day at the Exposition, Will Be "Made Instructive. .Lessons In buying cows will be a pop ular featuro of Dalrmah's day at the Lewis and Clark Fair, September 26. The most noted dairy authorities of the United Slates will enter the ring and give par ticular demonstration of how to look at a cow and what to look at. The reasons why a bright, placid eye means more milk in the. pall than a dull white optic, will' be explained. The dairymen of the Northwest will have the opportunity of a lifetime to learn points by actually listen ing to explanations -by men -who are past roasters in judging cattle. That the Pacific Northwest will some day "be the most noted dairy center in the world, is confidently predicted by all who aro acquainted. with Its peculiar climatic advantages. One of the greatest drawbacks has been lack of knowledge on the part of the dairymen, as to what kind of cows to buy, to be sure of the larges't profit. Breed is of secondary im portance according to the authorities. The flow If milk and its richness are what count, and ways of detecting theso qual ities in thoroughbreds as well as scrubs are to be demonstrated. Exhibited in the ring will be several world's record cows Holstelns, Jerseys, Alderneys,. and also cows without any ped igrees. Some of the cows, -notably a Holstein from California's foremost herds, have - the record of producing: over five pounds of butter a. day for & continuous period of mem j weeks. The Portland Jersej's which won the grand prize at St Louis, and the mag nificent herd of Holstelns, owned in Spo kane, will be exhibited, as well as several herds from Oregon. Some of the dairy authorities who will be present are Professor W. A. Henry, of Madison. Wis., whose book on feeds and feeding has been reprinted "all over the world; Professors C. F. Curtis and G. L. McKay, of Ames, la., who have built up the dairy department of the Iowa Ag ricultural College to a point "where it Is second to no institution in the country, has a place where scientific and practical dairying maj- be mastered; Profossor W. R. Spann, of Dallas, Tex., who will judge the Jerseys, and Professor C. S. Plumb, of Columbus, O., who will judge the Hol stelns. From the farmers' point of view. Dairy men's day will be the greatest day of the Exposition. Special rates will be given by the railroads, all of which are taking a great Interest in making the day a success, as they realize that the develop ment of the dairying industry In the Northwest will do more for the permanent prosperity of this section than can any other factor. If so great an Interest can bo stirred, simply in the buying of cattle so as to raise the standard of the dairy herds la Oregon, the Increased profit will prove a great stimulus to the growth of the In dustry. The arrangements are In charge of J. W. Bailey, State Dairy and Food Com missioner, M. D. Wisdom, superintendent of livestock at the Fair, and Richard Scott, the dairyman member of the Ore gon State Commission. MISSOURI EXERCISES TODAY Governor Folk and Staff Participate in State's Celebration.

' TO VIEW THE BAR Government Engineers Go to Inspect Jetty. VISIT AN IMPORTANT ONE Brigadier-General Mackenzie and Party Will Examine Works -"'''"Sow" Building for Colum bia Improvements. To view the river channel below Port land, the Columbia bar jetty and the for tifications at the mouth of that stream, a party of Government engineers left this city yesterday. In the party are Brigadier-General Alexander Mackenzie. In command of the engineer corps of the United States and In charge of the en glneer department, and Major-General J. FIItEBOAT, GEORGE H. WILLIAMS GIVES AN EXHIBITION' DM LI, FOB P. Storey, chairman of tho Board of Or dinance and Fortification. Others are Brigadier-General S. M. Mills and George W. Goothals. These four men come from Washington on an Inspection tour of har bor and fortification-works on the Pacific Coast. Accompanying them today is Major S. W. Roessler, In charge of the engineer corps In Oregon, Captain Amos A. Fries and Assistant Engineer David B. Ogden. At Fort Stevens the party will be joined by Gerald Bagnall. supervising engineer of the jetty. The arrival of the engineers is an event of high moment for the commercial In terests of the Columbia River. The en gineers are at the head of the work that is being done all over the United States for improvement of harbor and river channels. They come to view the needs of the Columbia bar, the river channel be low Portland and the Celilo Canal. They came by way of Puget Sound, where they examined the Lake Washington Canal project and will next go to San Fran cisco. The needs of the. Columbia bar at this time aro very pressing, because unless a Brigadier-General Alexander Macken zie, In Command of Engineer Corps. large appropriation shall be made at the coming session of Congress, about J1.0CO, 000, the jetty cannot be finished next year. The money on hand will only pay for a little more than half the projected 2 mlle extension. Although only half the extension Is fin ished, the bar channel has deepened four feet in the last two years, and now has a dopth of 23 feet at low tide. By the time that work shall suspend for tho year, some six weeks hence, the extension will have been finished TWO feet, with a mile yet to go. .The cxtonslon is Just now reaching a point where Its best scouring effect be gins. That tho additional mile will In crease the depth more effectively than that part of the Jetty which has been built In the last year seems as- AIRSHIP SAILING A PLEASURE, . WRITES AERONAUT BEECHEY THE seventh successful airship flight of the past eight weeks was made yesterday forenoon by Aeronaut Lincoln Beechey, In tho new airship Gelatine. For nearly an hour young Beechey ma neuvered his vessel over the Exposition, at no time reaching a greater height than 150 feet. His manner of controlling the craft was plainly visible at all times. Upon his descent Beechey wrote an ac count of his experiences In the air, which is as follows: "I find riding in an airship amusing and entertaining. Having never done anything else, I Intend to keep by air ships until their success as a means of transportation is established. I do not believe that day will be very far distant, either. Each time I go up, the airship comes Into better control, and I learn some trick of operating it It was a long time before I learned to run the vessel close to the earth, and now .1 have no trouble in so doing. Both the airships at the Fair now work perfectly, and.u is &. sured; In fact, there is 'good reason to be lieve that the Jetty -when completed -will deepen the bar to 30 feet at low tide. And by construction of a second Jetty from the Washington side of tho river the Govern ment engineers are confident that 40 feet can be obtained. The river channel between Portland and Astoria also presents needs for Govern ment funds. In order to create a perma nent 25-foot channel, dikes and other ex pensive Improvements must be made, es timated to cost 52.C0O.O0O. Hitherto prac tically the only Improvements have been those of dredging, which are at best only temporary and therefore wasteful. The visiting engineers may also view the line of the Celilo Canal, where a pro ject Involving an estimated expenditure of J4.000.000 has been authorized and where a contract has been let to Smyth & Jones for construction of halt a mile of canal, to cost J3CO.000. The entire length of the canal will be S4 miles. FIRE CHIEFS SEE DRILL Fireboat George H. Willlams Wins Praise From Visitors. The second day of the convention of the Pacific Coast Fire Chle'fs' Association was taken up with their regular business pro gramme in the morning, which lasted until noon, an exhibition drill of the fire boat George H. Williams and an exhibi tion of the latest fire-fighting apparatus. -known as the Judge distributing nozzle. in tho aftornopn, and the reading of sev eral Interesting papers before the conven tion In the evening. Yesterday's programme kejit the heads of the various fire-fighting brigades of this district so busy that they have set aside today for entertainment and amuse ment, and, -under tho guidance of Chief David Campbell, of Portland, they will attend the Lewis and Clark Exposition in a body, and will reconvene tomorrow morning for the contlnuanco of the busi ness programme. The exhibition drill of the fireboat was witnessed by nearly all of the delegates, who were unanimous in their praise of the work of the boat. The George H. Wil liams worked In splendid style, and when she threw out 11 streams of water at one time, almost hiding the boat from view Jrehind a wai of ' "water, exclanatluna of wonder were expressed on all sides. Chief Cook, of Seattle, said that the Portland fireboat was the only one In the country that was equipped with a water tower. He says that this Is a great help to the craft, and that all boats should have one. Considerable Interest was manifested in the test of the automatic sprinkling noz zle, which Is designed for Installation in all large buildings and factories. While the regular business meeting and election of officers Is In progress tomor row morning, A. G. Long, of this city, will entertain the wives and lady friends TtECEPTION TO MRS. DYE.

Cannon a Presidential Candidate. ABERDEEN. Wash., Sept. 13. (Spe cial.) Congressman Fordney, of Mich igan, who Is on Gray's Harbor, looking after his lumber Interests, says that times are very prosperous in his own state and In the East In general. Speaking of the possible plan to give Roosevelt a third term, he says that It will fall. In his opin ion, but In the event of the Administra tion following that of the present proving unpopular, Roosevelt would undoubtedly be asked to lead his party to victory. Congressman Fordney sees In Speaker Cannon a leading Presidential possibility, despite his age. Nebraska Exhibit. Free moving picture exhibitions. Ne braska Pavilion.

Bicycling used to be considered great sport, and then automobiling, but airship sailing is ahead of them alL People making one flight would wish for others. There is nothing so pleasant as to soar In the air like a bird, when you can see the earth below with people no bigger than ants. When I get up 2003 feet or moro the curvature of the earth Is plainly evident. I believe If one could go high enough the world would look like a big ball.

If the gasbag should burst, which Is Improbable, it would parachute to the ground slowly enough to prevent the rider's getting hurt I cannot believe otherwise than that airships will be In general use a few years from now.

GRA1NTELLS0FF1RE Believes It Was Incendiary and Set to Injure Him. TRACKS OF MEN ARE FOUND Barn, Containing Forty Tons of Hay, on Place Rented by Federal Court Witness, Burned Or--egonlan Confirmed. A set of resolutions alleged to have been passed by a' so-called Citizens' Business League of Prlncville, and published In Portland, denouncing The Oregonian for a story printed on September 4. relating to the burning of the barn of Wllford J. Craln. one of the Government witnesses in the Williamson case, classes the story VISITING FIRE CHIEFS. as malicious and without foundation. It states that the fire did not destroy Craln's barn or his hay, that It was not Incen diary in origin, that there were no tracks found leading toward Prinevllle from tho scene of the fire, that the fire was an ac- cldent. on a place not belonging to Craln, In which he had no Interest, and that tho story was not based on fact. Wllford J. Craln, In discussing the fire, Its origin and his -toplnlon concerning It, makes the following statement, which fully substantiates The Oregonlan-s ac count: "I have the Porflly place rented, and the barn on this place contained about 40 tons or more of hay belonging to me. This bam was burned the first of the month, together with, the hay stored In It, or stacked cl03o to the building. Ac cording to the best information given nw. the fire was set by some persons at this time unknown to me. The fire was dis covered about 9:30 o'clock in .the morning by Meldon Craln, my brother, who extin guished it. According to tho story told me by my sister, the tracks of two men were found leading to the barn. After the.nre had been put out. my brother fol lowed the tracks onto the hill until they were lost in the rocks. He then returned to the barn ami found the tracks leading away, from the place. As they loft the bam the men had evidently been run ning. He followed the tracks back across the hill, almost in a circle, back to the road leading to Prinevllle. Here they were lost. It being the supposition that the men had either got on horseback or Into a rig and had returned toward tho city. "I had no Insurance on the hay, but I think Porflly had a small amount on the barn, though I do not know. The most of the hay was of this year's crop, though there was a part of it left over from last year.

"It was my hay that was burned, and In my opinion the fire was set by some person or persons who wished to injure 'me, WILFORD J. CRAIN." HOW THE LAW IS BROKEN Brief Statement of Conditions Jn Crook County. PRINEVILLE. Or., Sept. 10. (To the editor.) An editorial In last week's Crook County Journal makes the claim that the Portland papers are trying to poison the mind of the public against the defendants in the land-fraud trials and also to de fame the fair name of this county. I believe this to be a mistake; perhaps through honest ignorance of the editor. Bo that as It may, a brief statement of the conditions existing here at the time Crook County first came Into being- and which are largely responsible for con ditions as they exist today, will not be altogether out of place. In the early part of 1S83 a man named Langdon, killed two men, named Crook and Jory, on his homestead on Willow Creek. He was arrested and taken to Prinevllle and placed la charge of a dep uty sheriff In the Prlneville Hotel. At nlght a mob came in, overpowered the deputy and shot Langdon to. death; it then lassoed a man named Harrison, who had formerly been employed by Langdon. and dragged him to the Crooked River bridge, about half a mile, and hanged hIm from the hridge, where he was found the next morning. From that time for ward the mob, which was a secret organ ization known as tho "Vigilantes," ter rorized the county, and any one incurring the displeasure of its leader was either compelled to leave the country or was murdered. Al Swarts was shot, through tho window of a saloon, while playing cards with a member of the mob: Sid Huston and young Lester were- taken from Elisha Barnes" dwelling and hanged; Mike Mogan was murdered by "Mossy" Barnes, and Frank Mogan was shot down' by Bud Thompson, the captain of the Vigilantes, and his brains Maten nut with the empty revolver, without the slightest provocation. Thi3 last crime was com mitted In the early part of ISSi. About this time a number of law-abiding citizens got together and formed an or ganization known as the "Moonshiners," who ordered a lot of the Vigilantes to leave the country, which they did. In tho majority of these cases nothing has ever been done. In others a farclal coroner's Jury, dominated by the Vigilantes, has brought in verdicts of justifiable homicide or otherwise freeing tho murderers. A number of the original Vigilantes still remain In this county, who, to gether with other lawless characters, now form what Is termed the Sheep-Shooters Organization. These men are a power In county politics, and many of the law abiding citizens of the county aro afraid to report what they know, for fear of losing stock, or even their lives. Houses and haystacks have been burned and stock killed and the losers are powerless to either prevent these outrages or secure redress. Why? One reason Is that witnesses are afraid to testify to what they know, and Jurors; If not al ready under the Influence of this criminal element, are unwilling to bring in a yer dlct of guilty on the same ground. Violation of the law Is, and has been, so common in ihte county that very little , notice Is taken of minor crimes. Gamb ling Is so common that a conviction could not be secured, even In the most flagrant cases. The gambling element predominates la county politics to such an extent that It virtually controls all the offices, and It Is among this element that one finds the remnants of the old Vigilantes. This county has a Jail furnished with approved steel cells, yet Jall-break3 are not infrequent. Why! Sheep killings have been frequent, but no arrests have been made. e.ven when in at least one Instance very strong cir cumstantial evidence was offered a cer tain official, said official making the state ment that the party under' suspicion was equally as good a citizen as the 'inform ant. That ended the matter, notwith standing the Informant lost property at the hands of the sheep-shooters. The mysterious disappearance of "Shorty" Davis was another coup of the Sheep-Shooters' Organization, and there is yet more to come. There are good citizens In this county "who are eking out an existence in fear and trembling who would welcome a change; others, more fortunate, have sold their belongings and left for more civil ized climes. How long are these condi tions to obtain? A rat driven to bay will fight hard, and there are a good many of our law-abiding citizens who feel that they are now In a position where they are forced to pay taxes to protect -criminals In crime and are themselves left to the mercy of sheep-shooters and' barn-burners. They are afraid to speak publicly of many of the crimes known to them for fear of personal violence. It is only a question of- time when these citizens will be forced to take the law Into their own hands and purge the com munity of this undesirable element. It Is believed by -many that there are but two results possible if the present con ditions prevail for any length of time, and-they are mob rule or martial law. , These conditions do not prevail to any extent In the farming districts, but the farmer is taxed to support -these con ditions and is therefore vitally interest ed in their elimination. MOONSHINER. BUILD TRAILS IN FOREST City "Water Board Recommends Aid ing Work of Bangers. At its regular monthly meeting yester day, the Water Board adopted a sugges tion from Gifford Pinchot. head of the Forestry Bureau of the Government, and recommended an appropriation of S1C0O by the municipality to be used In conjunc tion with a Federal appropriation, in con structing trails entirely around the Bull Run reserve, the purpose of such trails being to facilitate the work of forest rangers in preventing forest fires. The petitions of E. L. Peterson, Mrs. Corbln and Crooks for permission to ex tend the mains a short distance beyond the city limits, on the south side of the Section Line road, was finally granted, upon motion of Ladd to reconsider, al though Mayor Lane adhered strenuously to the doctrine that If It was the rule not to extend the mains beyond the city limits they ought to stick to It. and there was no reason why his privilege should be granted to one and not another. Dr. Josephl was the only member of the board voting against the order, and explained his position with the statement that while he was in sympathy with suburban resi dents, it was not fair to the municipality to allow such requests. TO HAVE STRONG FACULTY Dr. Poling Returns to Presidency of-Dallas College. "Rev. C. C. Poling, D. D., president of Dallas College, who has vbeen absent at Johnstown, Pa,, for the past year and a half, will arrive in Portland September 22, on his way back to Dallas to resume active duties at the head of that in stitution, which he laid down temporarily. With him comes Dr. J. Mock, M. A. Ph. G., of Johnstown, to take the .place of professor of classics In the college. He is said to be a man of high scholarly at tainments and will add much to the teach ing force of the school. Dr. Poling will resume the presidency and be pastor of the United Evangelical Church.
