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.
In the livestock department nearly all
.the old exhibitors will be represented by
f better herds than ever before. Among
I the Jersey breeders will be Harry West,
if flcappoose; D. H. Loomey, of Jefferson.
; and Charles Cleveland, of Jefferson. New
. herds of Jerseys will be exhibited by W.
"O. Morrow, of Rickreal; A. F. Downs,
of McCoy, and 8. Ban, of Portland. The
- Haselwood herd of Holstelns. with J. L
6mlth In charge, will be here as usual.
IP. A. FTakes, of Scappoose, and Theodore
Kruse. of Gearhart, are other former ex
', hlbltors who have reserved stalls among
1 the Hoist-Ins and H. M. Fleming, of
i Palem. and Mrs. Jennie Srader, of Wash
I tngton. will be here with new herds. W.
! O. Minor's shorthorns have not been at
'. tha State Fair for several years, but they
are coming this season. The Charles El
;Ladd herd, which has been sold to Frank
, Brown, will also be here. The Chalmers
i herd of Shorthorns and the Bl Geer herd

YOUNG GETS JOLTED
Salem Republicans Say They
Don't Want His Help.
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.

the Field Club, this evening, by the
Omaha Commercial Club, Mr. Harriman
stopping his special train here for three
hours while en route to New York.

rlman's talk being reminiscent of the late
panic. He said in part:
"Speaking of bankers and I am some
what familiar with those fellows they
can lock up and make things tight when
they want to, you know. I recollect that
the 'poor old Union Pacific" hardly more
than a decade ago went through a panic
that carried destruction and drove it to
the shelter of the United States Courts.
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.
At 9 o'clock the Harriman special
started East and it will arrive in Chi
cago between 8 and 9 o'clock Friday
morning. .

THE DALLE?, Or., Sept. 10. (Spe

plant of I. H."' Taffe, at Celilo, were
totallv destroyed this afternoon by a
fire which broke out shortly after noon.
Adjoining the canneries were the store
houses and electric plant, together
with the pumping apparatus, which
burned early -in the blaze, thus pre
cluding any use of water to check the
flames. The Taffe residence, which
stood but a short distance from the
canneries, was not burned, nor were the
fish wheels of the plant. As the fire
originated on the roof of the canner

These canneries were built by Mr.
Taffe about 20 years ago and in them
for many years he conducted a large

years they nave been used for an ice
plant and the shipment of coldatorage
