" 1 ' I I. : 1 I I COMPETITION KEEN AMONG COUNTIES Grand Prize for Best Exhibit at State Fair to Be Award-. ed Today. PAVILION -SPACE CROWDED Benton County, Thrice Prizewinner by Display, Is Back Again Seeking Honor for Fourth Successive Tear Other Feat n res Biff. . SALEM. Or.. Bept. . 11. (Special) Oregon pioneers at tne opening- day of the State Fair todayrwe greeted with one of the finest collections of exhibits by counties ever gathered together beret even with the fact In view that some of the exhibits were not at a stage of completion until the evening. Packed to the limit, every available Inch of floor space In the great ex hibit pavilion has been taken and there are still other exhibitors who are clam oring for more room and erecting tents In convenient places around the build ing to show their displays under ad verse conditions. The grand prize for the best county exhibit is not to be awarded until tomorrow. Benton County, . which for three consecutive years has been awarded the first prize. Is back again .this year with an exhit fully as good as if not better than during previous years. This year th fact that some of the crops are backward has caused n extra effort to be made to bring the exhibit up to the standard." That It Is well in line for a good chance to take away the bisr badge of honor is ';th belief of W. F. Groves, who Is In fcharge. . Clackamas to Give Ran to Other. Cladkamas County will give all the -rest a strong run for the first position. Not -only are the products of the soil on display, but a large portion of the exhibit space Is given over to the work of the Oregon City school children and the class of the work is such as to make this a strong: contending "feature of the exhibit. E. P. Carter and George Hoey have this exhibit in charge. One of the most interesting features icf 'the ex hibit as far as horticulture Is con cerned, at least. Is the display of mag nificent peachee. ' This is of exceptional Interest from the fact that peach cul ture In Clackamas County Is still In its Infancy. If the appearance of the pres ent peaches shown is any - criterion of future growth, it is the unanimous consent of all of those who have vis-, lted this display, that there is a won derful future In that branch of hor ticulture for the county. B. a Worsley, in charge of the Clat sop County exhibit, while having a large space, has found himself in an 1 unfortunate position merely because Clatsop County sent along too much of its exoellent products for displayi As a result he has been spreading them over the pavilion in various corners and in Clatsop's own large exhibit space has been piling in the material to the limit His exhibit was not com plete today, but what was In position assures him an excellent chance e a heavy competitor. One of the most splendid displays of grasses ever -seen here is incorporated In this exhibit along with fruits and vegetables and added attractions of al most countless varieties of sea foods. Coos Not Lost to View. Coos county has an exhibit which has been tucked away in an isolated part of the pavilion, but Its isolation has not caused it to be unsought or unseen. Hundreds of people viewed this exhibit today with keen interest despite the fact that all of the ma terial for the display was not on hand. As usual. Coos County sent to the fair one of the choicest quality displays of . Gravensteln apples that could be found. Coos differentiates in its exhibit to a , greater extent than many of the coun ties. Its splendid specimens of woods sind forest products attracts the eye and In addition are coal displays and products of sea and cannery. Polk County, Columbia County and I Marlon are all splendidly represented. ' Columbia County may be taken as an i exhibit showing typically how every : section is covered in securing products ; for these showings. For instance, the materials used for this exhibit were ! gathered from Clatskanle, Rainier, ; Mist St. Helens, Yankton, Warren, ! Deer Island. Goble, Vernonla, Marsh land. Scappoose and Houlton, covering practically - every portion - of that ' county. Marion's exhibit is not complete as yet but shows a beautiful display in addition to a panorama of Salem which was shown at the fair. last year and has attracted thousands of sight seers. I.lna Has Private Exhibit. . Una county is represented hjr a pri vate exhibit which, private s . it Is, Is well along In the showing with the counties. This is the exhibit of Mrs. Louisa Etruckroeyer. ' The central feature in the main pa vilion at the entrance is the excellent display of the State . Board of Horti culture which was prepared by Francis Galloway; of McMInnvllle. Two tons of prunes figure In this exhibit" a ton on each side, and ar ranged in an attractive manner are large quantities of almost every con ceivable kind of fruit As a whole the county exhibits this year are better than ever before, al though some of the districts have been handicapped owing to the lateness of the products representative of those districts. One of the main features of the' fair failed to appear today in the shape of the Parker shows and Joy street was entirely deserted during the day. When tke shows will arrive Is problematical, even to the representatives on the ground. The space contracted by the carnival company this year is larger tkan ever before, practically larger than any shows for two consecutive carnivals combined at the fair, and the failure to arrive has proved a keen disappoint ment to the management Bellingham Gets New Structure.

In this same act ap propriation of $200,000 is made for the locks, with the proviso that within 20 years from the passage of the act the state reserved the right to appropriate the locks and canal by payment there for. Under the opinion, this gives the state a proprietary Interest of $200,000 In the canals and locks on the west side of the river. Should the route be on the east Bide, the state's Inter est would dwindle to nothing, and In addition to the $300,000 which has al ready been -appropriated for the new free locks, the cost to the state In the project would reach $500,000. When the Canal Commission has a meeting tomorrow this question w-Ol come up for discussion and If any thing can be gathered from unofficial statements made by the members of that Commission, it is probable that the Board will make protest against a route on the east side of the river and will stand for the locks to operate on -the west side.

In both the Second and Wesley churches this obtains. These churches have had missionary money poured into them for 20 years. It must stop. These locations are filled with foreigners. Second has been under the wing of First Church this year. Wesley is In Ruston and is no stronger today than when It was organized. Central, Fowler and Grace are all in locations that -forbid their growth. What shall we do In such cases? There is but one answer: Seek new locations in new and growing parts of the city. This we are doing." Such Is an excerpt from the report of District Superintendent Thomas E. Elliott which will be read to the Puget Sound Methodist conference when- it convenes Wednesday.
