TWO MEN CLAIM
ONE BLUE RIBBON
First Prize on Milch Cows
Awarded, Then Recalled,
but Hinkle Stands Pat.
JUDGES MIX THE NUMBERS
Roseburg Man Holds Ribbons,
AVhile Records Show P. A.
Frakes Got Premium and
$40 In Cash Bad Tangle.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 2. (Special.) Not
withstanding the fact that the -record
shows P. A. Frakes to be the winner
of the first prize for milch cows at the
State Fair, A. E. Hingle, of Roseburg,
has possession of the blue ribbon and
declares that he will hold It until the
State Fair Board takes It away from
him In a legal manner. Frakes, how
ever, will get the premium, $40 in cash,
and his cow will be officially recorded
as champion milk producer. Frakes
is not worrying about the blue ribbon,
but will expect the State Fair Board to
.get it and deliver it to him.
When the milk tests were made, the
men who kept the record gave each
cow a number. A number had already
been assigned each cow when entered
in the contest, and these numbers did
not correspond. When the test record
was delivered to the superintendent of
the dairy department, the figures were
transcribed according to numbers.
Thus it happened that no cow was
credited with her own record.
In accordance with the figures as
they appeared, the blue ribbon was
delivered to Mr. Hinkle for his red
polled cow, "Snowdrop," and other rib
bons were delivered In the eame man
ner. A half hour later the error was
discovered and the return of all rib
bons requested. All were returned ex
cept that delivered to Hinkle, who said
that he had complied with all rules,
that a blue ribbon had been regularly
awarded him and that he proposed to
keep It until it should be taken away
by the State Fair Board. There the
matter rests for the present.
Don't Spray; Don't Have To.
This was another big day for the
State Fair, though the crowd did not
equal that of yesterday or Wednesday.
The weather was perfect. Tomorrow
evening the fair will close its most
successful session.
"We don't spray and we don't have
to," is the proud assertion made in
the Clatsop Count booth, where a
splendid display of apples Is made.
This is the only collection of unsprayed
fruit at the Fair and it Is perfectly
free from both worms and scale. The
exhibit consists chiefly of Fall apples,
Gravenstelns, Red Astrakhans and
Kings, though a plate of Baldwins Is
on exhibition and it is asserted that
Spitzenbergs and Ben Davis, thrive and
produce well In Clatsop County. Be
cause of the great expense of spraying,
Willamette Valley growers listen with
much interest to the Clatsop declara
tion that "We don't spray, and don't
have to."
.o "Made in Oregon" Display.
The scarcity of exhibits of Oregon
manufactures has been a subject for
frequent comment among visitors at the
State Fair, and many questions are
asked as to the reasons for the absence
of a creditable display of articles made
In this state. The fact of the matter is the
criticism is largely well founded. While
there is a display of articles manufac
tured in Oregon and it is creditable as
far as it goes, it is too limited to be a
fair representation of Oregon manufac
tured products. The few articles entered
are widely scattered and attract no par
ticular attention. In farm machinery a
good display, is made, but the implements
are mixed in with those of foreign manu
facture and therefore receive no spe
cial attention. Aside from a good line
of farm machinery, a little soap and
some flour, there is, nothing to speak
of in the shape of Oregon manufactures.
Oregon has several woolen mills, but
no exhibit of woolen goods at the Fair.
Boots and shoes are made in this state,
on a limited scale, it is true, but there
Is no exhibit at the Fair. There are a
number of furniture factories. Iron foun
dries, book binderies, wine factories, sal
mon canneries. paper mills, various
wnnd-working establishments, cigar fac
tories, cordage factories and innumera
ble other manufacturing institutions
which play an Important part in the de
velopment of the industries of the state,
even though they are operating in a
comparatively small way. Southern Ore
gon has recently gone extensively into
the production of grapes, and wine of
excellent quality Is made. There are
many small manufacturers of foods and
medicines. With proper encouragement
nearly every manufactured article could
brt placed on display at the Fair, thus
inrnrmlng our own people of the prod
ucts they can buy at home and demon
strating to strangers the opportunities
for new enterprises in this state.
With an abundance of water power
going to waste and an unlimited quan
tity of raw material at hand, with a cli
mate and soil that will produce all the
raw material that may be needed, there
Is room for the development of manu
facturing. By special effort the Oregon
.State Fair could encourage manufactur
ing as it has encouraged livestock breed
ing. One of the first essentials Is a depart
ment, preferably located in a building by
ucvurea exclusively to Oregon
manufactures. If such a department
were maintained. Oregon nnrmin w,,m
oon learn more about the resources and
juuu!.ries 01 ineir own state.
Good Exhibit From Marion.
Marlon County d.d not compete this
rear in the countv hlhlt ..li
test. It is realized that In a
contest or that kind Marion has an
vndue advantage for the reason that the
fair is held In this county. Since Marlon
has been barred, with Its own consent,
ell other counties' are placed upon prac
tically an equal basis. Neverfhi..
Marlon has an exhibit that reflects great
"f"" i ay lor, who pre
pared it. The fact that under tne rules
lie cannot receive a prize Is the only
reason he la without a ribbon.
This has been a good year for holders
tf concessions at the State Fair. Lunch
counters, restaurants and confectionery
stands have done particularly well, some
of them making a "band of money" dur
ing the six days of the fair. In some
previous years many or toe concession
el res have found business so dull that
they left before the end of the week. This
year the crowds have not only been
larger than usual, but the people have
teen in a money-spending mood and .have
patronized nearly everything In the cor
ral, as the space allotted to concessions
has been known. -

cused of embezzling more than $60,000 of
the city's money, and whb is at present

cording to the statements of Will H.

that is being made in Seattle in connec

said Morris, "and when he "comes back
to Seattle he will be in a position to re

ag8inst him, without any effort before
hand to make a settlement with the city
of any alleged misappropriation of
funds."
MAY BE TROUBLE FOR JURORS
Judge Whitson Says There. Must Be
Positive Evidence Against Rulck.
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 20. In charging
the special gran'" Jury sworn in today.
Judge Whitson dwelt at length upon the
case against United States District Attor
ney Ruick. Mr. Ruick was charged by
numbers of a former grand jury with
practically coercing them to return land
fraud Indictments against United States
Senator W. E. Borah and others. Judge
Whitson held that the grand jury could
find a true bill against Mr. Ruick only
if it could be shown that Mr. Ruick had
acted with a corrupt purpose in view.
The Judge said that if the grand jury
found the charges made by the former
grand Jurors to be false, an indictment
should issue for them.

NEXT TIME; LIMIT

CAN EXPECT A $500 FINE
Circuit Judge Makes Himself Clear
When He Is Lenient With Two
First-Offenders at ' ,
Astoria.
ASTORIA. Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) Five
hundred dollars, the limit allowed under
the state law, will be the fine imposed
by Judge McBride, of the Circuit Court,
upon any person who in the future Is
found guilty in his court on a charge of
gambling. That was the announcement
made by him from the bench this after
noon when' imposing sentence in other
cases.
This afternoon Al Seafeldt and John
Stephenson, local saloon men, pleaded
guilty to charges of being proprietors of
places where gambling was conducted,
and eight other men pleaded guilty to a
charge of gambling. Eight of the defend
ants were accused of playing draw poker
in the saloons run by Seafeldt and Ste
phenson, respectively.
The attorney for the defense, in asking
for the clemency of the court, said the
proprietors of the saloons were not inter
ested in .the games and got nothing from
them except what few drinks the partici
pants might purchase: also that the men
playing were in no way connected with
the saloons, but were customers who were
engaging in a game among themselves. -
In pronouncing judgment Judge McBride
said In part: '
"There has been a radical change here
recently Id regard to gambling, as be
fore the order, was issued by the District
Attorney to close all games the city had
practically licensed gambling games. I
realize there may be a misunderstanding
as to whether the law applies to all games
of chance, or merely to what are known
as 'banking games,' and as these are the
first arrests under the law, I am inclined
to show leniency. Therefore, it Is the
judgment of the court that Stephenson
and Seafeldt pay fines of $25 each and the
others pay $20 each. This leniency must
not, however, be understood to. apply to
the future. To play poker or any other
game of chance in a cigar store, saloon or
any other place Is just as much an infrac
tion of the law as is the playing of any
banking game In the lowest gambling
hell. Now that this will be made public
and every one w understand it, I desire
to announce right here that if any of
these defendants or any otner person 19
brought before me on a charge of gam
bling he will be subject, upon conviction,
to a fine of $500, which is the limit al
lowed under the state law."
XEW MILLS WAIT FOR RATE
Railroads Do Not Propose to Change
Tariff Every Few Days.
SEATTLE, Wrash., Sept. 20. (Special.)
Lumber and shingle rates announced
to take effect November 1 will only ap
ply tS mills now In existence or which
may be built at some station shown in
the new transcontinental tariffs. A lum
ber or shingle mill built at some location
and putting down a siding for the ac
commodation of its business will either
have to pay a local tariff to some point
quoted in the tariff or wait until the
railroads get time to publish an amend
ment to the tariff showing the new mill
town. Under the rulings of the Wash
ington State Commission a 20 days' no
tice of a new rate la necessary and that
much of a wait would be necessary be
fore a combination of a local and trans
continental rate could give the mill any
outlet for its business.
The railroads are not in much of a
hurry to publish supplements to their
tariffs and any new lumber or shingle
mill established in the future may have
a long wait ahead of it before through
rates to points covered by the new tariff
are granted. Every point opened to a
new mill would have to be covered in
the special tariff, for rates can only
be quoted between points covered in a
tariff filed with the Interstate Commerce
Commission. 1
This condition is more Important than
appears on the surface, for it is a fre
quent practice of lumbermen to establish
new mills at some point in the country,
giving the millsite the name of a sta
tion and asking for a rate. Possibly a
majority of the lumber and shingle
camps in the western part of the state
have nothing else but the mill as an
excuse for existence. A group of bunk
houses or small houses comprise the
towns. .

Three Hundred Men Escort Orient

Offer to Return.
SEATTLE, Wash.. Sept. 20. (Special.)
Fifty-seven. Japanese miners, arriving at
Atlin last night to work in the mines,
were escorted to the river steamer Gleaner
by 300 whites this morning and started
back toward yancouver. The white miners
served notice upon the Japanese that if
they did not stay away violence would be
shown in protecting the diggings against
Asiatic labor.
The Japanese are almost destitute and
will be turned loose on Skagway. Alaska.
Late tonight an immediate demand will bs
made that the Canadian Pacific take the
Japanese laborers back to Vancouver. If
they are not handled by that company,
Skagway people will provide for their de
portation. Atlin is in British Columbia and the out
break of the white miners against Japa
nese labor is a continuation of the agita
tion against Asiatic labor that resulted in
the Vancouver riots.
This Is the second anti-Oriental demon
stration in the Atlin district. Skagway
cablegrams say the first occurred when 30
Japanese sent from Vancouver were
driven out by the whites less than a year
ago.

Canada will not exclude the Japanese.
British Columbia konws her rights and

In this language a committee of Van
couver laborites today painted the blood
thirsty Japanese in an interview with W.
D. Scott, chief immigration commissioner
for the Dominion government. - Scott has
been sent here by the Federal Govern
ment to make a complete Investigation
of the Oriental problem. The labor men
urge that the Anglo-Japanese treaty be
abrogated so far as Canada Is concerned.
Dr. Monro, the Vancouver immigration
inspector, admitted that the Japanese
government had been for years breaking
the terms of the agreement. Thousands
of Japanese had been landed direct :rom
Japan as well as from Honolulu, and in
allowing the former to come the Japanese
government ilea departed from its agree
ment The proposal of a friendly understand
ing to limit immigration supposed to have
been partially reached between Delegate
Ishll and Premier Laurier is scouted Dy
the labor men in the interview tonight.
The stock arguments of the helplessness
of the Hindus and the non-afslmllatlon
of the Japs with the Canadian people
were all quoted by the labor delegates
to the commissioner, who promised to iir
clude these views in his report to the
government.

The term muck-raker gels thrown at us, but that's not us ; we
aim to be cheerful people. A child could sit in our lap and
eat ice cream when we had our best clothes on chocolate ice
cream at that.
Muck-raking is only a by-product ; here's a crowd of us, calling
ourselves the United States, spending say $ 1 00,000,000 a
day, and 20 of it may be going to manufacture misery for
humans : Bribery, indigestion, injustice, child labor, and gen
eral cussedness.
It's too much money we can't afford it
When our economical streak is on, we'd like to see some of It
saved to spend for happiness. Just as if we saw a man cleaning
off a horse with sizzling boiling oil, instead of water, we'd say :
"Here, that oil cost mony besides, you're spoiling the horse."
