10 STATE F. WLL OPEN MONDAY Preparations Made to Handle Bigger Crowd and More Exhibits Than Formerly. BUILDINGS ARE IMPROVED orpins From Laxt Tear Used to Enlarge Exhibit Halls and Grandstand List of Horses Entered for Racing Events. 3ALEM. Or.. Sept. 10. (Special.) All s'.tns Indicate that the State Fair, which will open at the fairgrounds next Mon day, will be the greatest ever held, both In slse and character of exhibits and in 'Dumber of people In attendance. This aving been an exceptionally good agri cultural season the exhibits of farm, garden and orchard products will be the best that Oregon has ever seen. Be cause the Fair has expanded to larger jpro portions and the premiums have been increased, there will be a larger number lf entries than at any previous fair. The Construction last year of 12 large, light, well ventilated and convenient stables Lfor the livestock, has encouraged breed ers of the best stock to continue to bring their herds here and has induced some breeders to enter their stock who have inever done so before. The races have (attracted the owners of the best horses that come to the Northwest circuit. Proprietors of side attractions have been alert and know that the crowd will be immense. Though the Fair manage ment has snut out all games of chance and such money-making schemes as knife racks, nlgger-haby stands, etc., the con cessions have been more numerous than ever before. All the midway attractions will be of the highest order. The man agers of the local streetcar company are :o convinced that this will be a great (year for the Fair and arrangements have Hkeen made to secure plenty of streetcars from Portland to handle the crowds be 'tween the fairgrounds and the city. pend Surplus in Improvements. Last year'a.Fair was a financial success and left the management with a surplus which haa been spent on improvements upon the grounds. The old gates have been torn out and modern electric stiles have been installed, making it possible to handle larger crowds in less time. Ticket windows have been discontinued so that there will be no crush and crowd in the effort to get tickets. Those who wish to enter will pay cash at the gates, hut as no change will be made by the attendants, each visitor must provide him self with the requisite EO-cent piece in advance. The electric stiles make a record of the number of persons who enter and automatically check the re ceipts. The first Improvement seen Inside the gates is at addition to the machinery hall, made necessary by the larger 'ex hibits. Modern farming methods neve encouraged Inventions In the. line of agri cultural Implements and the desire to learn about the latest Inventions has made the machinery department one of the largest and most Interesting on the grounds. The largest Improvement made this year Is at the race track where' the grand stand has been increased In seating capacity at least SO per cent by the construction of an extension in front. The grandstand will now accommodate all the people who wish seats during the races. Some Livestock Exhibitors.

VOICE THEIR DISAPPROVAL Fiery Oratory at Organization of Taft and Sherman Club In Capi tal City Loyal to Taft, but -Not to Young. SALEM. Or., Sept. 10. (Special.) John C. Young, state organizer of Taft Republican Clubs in Oregon, was given a severe Jolt tonight when the Young Men's Republican Club and the Roose velt Republican Club met to join In a single organization for the work of this campaign. After an extended and somewhat heated discussion, ' the meeting voted down an amendment proposing to call the new club a "Taft Republican Club," as desired by Mr. Young, and the name Salem Republican Club was adopted Instead. After having thus expressed their dis satisfaction with the appointment of Mr. Young as organizer of Republican clubs, the faction which prevailed moved a reconsideration, and by unani mous vote decided to call the organiza tion the "Taft and Sherman Republican Club," The vote on the adoption of the name In the first instance was a tie and Senator J. N. Smith, who presided, cast the deciding vote In favor of "Salem Republican Club." Oppose Young as Organizer. In the discussion of the question It was evident that many who voted in the first place for the use of the word "Taft" were neverthe less displeased with the - selec tion of Young as organizer. -H. D. Patton, A. Gesner and Senator T. B. Kay led the fight for the use of the word "Taft." A. N. Gilbert. F. G. Deckebach. John A. Carson and John Knight objected to limiting the scope of a Republican club by giving it any one man's name. Kay expressed himself as being little disposed to work with Young as anyone, but said that to re fuse to use Taft's name would be a slap at Taft. He did not believe in doing this in order to show disapproval of Young's appointment. After, the name "Salem Republican Club" had been adopted, several other members entered the room and Patton asked for a reconsideration, and In doing eo stated that he had received a letter from John C. Young asking that a Taft club be organized here. This let loose the pent-up storm of wrath. Responding to the plea for harmony, Mr. Gilbert de clared that the only ones who were dis turbing the meeting were the followers of Young, who wanted to reconsider a name already adopted. Say Young Is Populist. "Young is not a Republican, and never n-n . anH T rinn't UrfinrwP that he Shall organize me into a Republican club," ex claimed Mr. uuoen. Others expressed similar views, calling Young a Populist and otherwise making known their disgust at the prominence he haa been given. Having tHue made their opinions known, the anti-Young forces consented to a reconsideration and adopted the name "Taft and Sherman dub." Without a single exception the speakers declared their loyalty to Taft. The following officers were elected: President, C. I McNary; vice-president. Earl Race; secretary. Frank Went; treas urer, B. F. Meredith; executive commit tee, Chauneey Bishop, Lfee Acheson, W. C. Smith. Delegates to the state conven tion of Republican Clubs, H. A. Johnson, H. B. Thielsen, John W. Rowland, F. G. Deokebach, W. T. Perkins. The following were appointed a mem bership committee: H. D. Patton, R. C. Halley, U C. Stringer. DISMISS ANCIENT SUIT Ben Butler Defendant In Long-Forgotten Damage-'Case. NEW YORK, Sept. 10. After a lapse of 30 years, action has been taken to have dismissed a suit brought against the late General Benjamin F. Butler, of Massa chusetts, by John H.

But this time the Union Pacific had no help from bankers and asked none. It stood on its own credit and emerged with scarcely a scratch. "But had our credit not been so good as to permit us to acquire other lines as feeders and to borrow money, the last panic might have again carried down the old Union Pacific." Mr. Harriman called attention to the fact that since he has had control of the Union and Southern Pacifies these two roads had spent $000,000,000 on betterments.
