SALEM. Or.. Sept. 30. (Special.)
The laurels of Benton County, five
times winner of the contest for the
best county exhibit at the State Fair,
were lowered today, when Douglas
County captured the prize for 191S. But
Benton was not" disgraced, for it ran
Douglas such a close second that W. K.
Newell, president of the State Horti
cultural Board, who was the judge, had
a. difficult time in determining which
county deserved first honor. Long
golden ears of corn artistically ar
ranged in a canopy above the booth
turned the scales in favor of Douglas,
after the judge had almost despaired
of making a decision. The Douglas
County exhibit was gathered and ar
ranged by C W. Cross, of Roseburg.
Clackamas County,, which was sec
ond last year, running Benton a close
race for the honor, received third prize,
Washington County won fourth. Linn
fifth, Tillamook sixth and PolK
seventh.
Germans Hare Big Day.
This was German day at the fair,
and the Germans of this and adjacent
counties certainly made the most of it.
There were those from the Fatherland,
those born in this country, but now
past a half century in years, and the
children, of course. The visitors were
entertained at lunch by the local Ger
man society, and soon after all of
them, wearing red badges, were en
Joying the sights at the fair. It was
the most successful second day of the
association, more than 7000 people hav
ing taken advantage of the fine weath
er to see the great exhibition.
Mr. Newell announced after making
the county awards that they were
made according to the rules of the
board. He said 15 points had been al
lowed for field products, 15 for grain,
15 for all orchard products, 30 for qual
ity and 10 for arrangement.
"Benton's arrangement was best,"
continued Mr. Newell, "but Douglas'
remarkable exhibit of corn turned the
scale in her favor. Not including the
corn, the exhibits were of equal merit.
Marion Exhibit Magnificent.
"Marion County had a magnificent
exhibit, but it was not entered in the
contest. Because the fair is held here
she does, not compete, but every year
comes 'forward with an exhibit that is
a credit to the county."
The Judging of cattle, swine and
sheep is nearing completion, and the
lists probably will be made public to
morrow. The O.-W. R. & N. 175 tro
phy for the best sire for breeding beef
cattle was won by A. D. Dunn, of Wa
pato, Wash., with Imperial 336907. In
the Galloway cattle class L. G. WeBley,
of Freeman, won the grand bull cham
pionship with Babin Wesley, and the
grand championship for a female was
won by Delos Wesley, of Freewater,
with Princess. In the Holstein division
AV. K. Newell's Model King ' won the
bull grand championship, and his Louis
Korndyke won the bull Junior cham
pionship. For females, C. S. Magee's Cedai
View Sabra won the grand champion
ship. Albion L. Gile. of Chinook, Wash.,
, captured the grand bull championship
for Guernseys with King of Neofield.
He also captured the Junior champion
ship with Sunderland's Traveler. The
grand bull championship for Jerseys
wag won by Isaac E. Staples, of Port
land, with Gerties Goldle, and the
Junior championship was captured by
John B. Stump & Son, of Monmouth,
with Nobles Double, of Fair Acres.
Gresham Man Wins.
W. N. Cleveland, of Gresham, won the
prize for the champion Shropshire ewe,
and Frank Brown, of Carlton, was
awarded the honor for the champion
ram. F. A. Koser, of Rickreall, cap
tured the championship for Cotswold
rams and also for ewes.
R, W. Hogg, of Salem, was awarded
the championship for Poland China
boars, and Thomas Brunk, of Salem,
for sows. For boars bred by the ex
hibitor, Herbert Willard, of Dayton,
was the winner, and Thomas W. Brunk,
of Salem, won the championship for
sows bred by the exhibitor. - J. W.
Fruit, of Brooks, captured the cham
pionship for Duroc Jersey boars and
sows. G. M. Harvey, of Salem, won
the prize for the best boar bred by
the exhibitor.
"The Jersey cow exhibit at the fair
is one of the best I have ever seen,"
declared Hugh G. Vanpelt, Judge of
them, tonight. "I have attended fairs
all over the country in the capacity of
Judge; and I must say I have seen no
better Jerseys than are here. I was
here two years ago and am qualified
to note the great improvement that has
been made in that time. The fair com
pares favorably with any in the United
States and is far superior to most of
them."
Children's Exhibits Judged.
The Judging in the children's indus
trial department, which is one of the
most interesting at the fair, started
today, the following being the win
ners in bread and butter:
Bread Class A Avis Williams, Sa
lem, first prize: Esther Rodner, Junc

ville second; Florence Elgin, Salem,
third'- Mildren Lynch, Talent, fourth,
and Mary Lebold, Salem, fifth. Francel
Hawley, of McCoy, won the butter con
test. The eugenics department attracted
large crowds again today, and so pop
ular has the department become that
the management of the fair has decided
to erect new and commodious build
ing for it next year. The building will

Novel Feature Staged.
A class Instruction in the deaf and
dumb department of the children's in-riuati-int
HAniritmnt this afternoon and
evening was an interesting feature of
the fair today, une oi me untu".
illustrated Just how the children were
taught, and it was amazing how profi
cient some of the little boys and girls
showed themselves to be in reading the
lip language. One or two children who
were actually dumb when they entered
the school a year ago have been taught
to speak. The children's industrial de
partment is crowded with exhibits and
It is wonderful what proficiency has
been shown.
A popular booth in the pavilion is
that of the Oregon Agricultural Col
lege, which is in charge of Ralph D.
Hetzel, director of extension work. Five
instructors of the school are assisting
Mr. Hetzel in explaining the exhibit,
which is divided into eight divisions
as follows: Horticulture, entomology,
plant pathology, bacteriology, poultry,
seed testing and agronomy. All plant
diseases and fruit diseases are shown
by samples along with preventatives
and remedies. Samples of hybrid grains
and grasses, grown at the experimental
stations, tools of various kinds, magni
fied germs and many other things of
interest to farmers and fruitgrowers
are included in the display.
YOUNG MAN MUTILATED
MYSTERY SrKROUTS ATTACK
, OX YOUTH XEAR MEDPOKD.
Thrown, in Creek After Being Ren
dered Unconscious, Lad Crawls'
to His Home.
MEDFORD, Or, Sept. 30. (Special.)
Mutilated, beaten into insensibility
and thrown into a creek, Joe Croft, 19
years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Croft, ranchers near Trail, was revived
by the cold water and crawled a quar
ter of a mile to his home, where he
gave the alarm and then fainted.
Deputy Sheriff Wilson, in the absence
of Sheriff William SIngler, started out
on the case, but at a late hour tonight
had made no arrests.
Croft declared he was hunting deer
and was standing behind a tree just
drawing a bead on a buck when he
heard a sound behind him, but before
he could turn the blow was struck,
and when he regained consciousness he
was sitting upright in the creek.
The young man admitted he had had
trouble with a neighbor, but said he
knew someone else attacked him. His
purse, in which he declared there was
$2, was found near a tree by the creek
empty, and a club covered with blood
was also found. Mutilations on the
boy's body had been inflicted with a
sharp knife.
In spite of persistent questioning by
Deputy Sheriff Wilson neither members
of the boy's family nor neighbors
threw any light on the attack. Accord
ing to the physician attending Croft he
has a fair chance or recovering.
It is believed by some persons that
a young woman is the cause of the attack.

DIVERSIFIED PLAN URGED
Ranchers of Washington, Eager for

Train Trip Successful, Says
Professor Holden.
WALLA WALLA Wash.. Sept. 30.
(Special.) With a zeal nearly equal to
that of the famous Whitman mission
ary band that, nearly 70 years ago,
traversed the same country, preaching
the Christian faith to the Indians, the
agricultural missionary band of Pro
fessor Holden, on board a special
train, brought the gospel of alfalfa
and diversified farming to the farm
ers of the Touchet and Walla Walla
valleys today. Tomorrow the train
will cross into Oregon.
Four main stops were made Dayton,
Waitsburg, Prescott and Walla Walla
with 17 separate meetings, and a
total number of 2100 people hearing
the sermon of "alfalfa on every farm."
"This trip Is the most successful I
have made," said Professor Holden
here tonight. "Everywhere people are
showing the greatest of Interest and
the speakers have been followed right
to the train by farmers who are eager
to know all about this new manner of
farming and the raising of alfalfa. The
farmer of the Northwest is progressive
and is ever on the alert for advice that
will enable bim to Increase his profits.
I feel that the success of the trip is
assured already."
Dayton was the first stop made to
day. From Dayton five side trips were
made in automobiles to towns and
farms in the district. Besides these
country trips, two meetings were held
at the high school. More than 500 per
sons heard the addresses at Dayton.
Attendance at the country meetings
also' was large.
At Waitsburg the band met the train
and escorted the party to the club
rooms of the Waitsburg Chamber or
Commerce. A separate meeting was
held for the children at the high
school building.
The third demonstration of the day
was at Prescott, 25 miles northeast of
Walla Walla, Great interest was
shown here, farmers following the
speakers back to the train to get more
information about raising alfalfa.
Four meetings were held in Walla
Walla this afternoon, at Blalock's
farm, Bemey School, Walla Walla High
School and Whitman College. All were
well attended. This evening the Holden
party entertained at a banquet given
by the Commercial Club. Another
meeting was held at the Commercial
Club rooms tonight.
C. L. Smith, agriculturist of the O.
W. R. & N. Company, speaking at the
meeting tonight, said: "The demon
stration train and the teachings of
men who are conversant with farming
conditions have sounded the keynote
of prosperity for the Pacifio Northwest.
This Is diversified farming. This
means alfalfa and corn, dairying and
hog-raising, poultry and beef."
Two side trips were made tonight,
one to Dixie and the other to Touchet.
Tomorrow, when the alfalfa special
reaches Oregon, stops will be made at
Weston, Athena, Adams and Pendleton.

(Special.) J. H. Bobbins, general man
ager of the distributors, who was In
the city today, said that the organiza
tion of the North Pacific Fruit Distrib
utors will mean the addition of more
than $1,000,000 to the value of the fruit
crop of the Northwest this season. Mr.
Bobbins tonight went to Milton to
attend a meeting of the fruitgrowers
of that section.
"The policy of the organization,
which is proving; to be a successful one,
is to keep fruit on a market where
prices are increasing rather than on
a market where the prices are on the
decrease," he said. "Heretofore grow
ers and shippers have done everything
In their power to open the season with
high prices. The Eastern buyers knew
such was the policy of the growers
and as a result all of the big buyers
were bears on the market until the
expected decrease in price started."

Having suffered for twenty - ona
years with a pain In my side, I finally
have found relief In Dr. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root. The physicians (ailed it
"Mother's Pain" and injections of mor

periods of time. I became so sick
that I had to undergo a surgical oper
ation In New Orleans, which benefited
me for two years. When the same pain
came back one day I was so sick that
I gave up hopes of livinK. A friend
advised me to try your Swamp-Root
and I at once commenced using it. The
first bottle did me so much good that
I purchased two more bottles. I am
now on my second bottle and am feel
ing like a new woman. I passed a
gravel stone as large as - a bis red
bean and several small ones. I hava
not had the least feeling of pain since
taking your Swamp-Root and I feel It
my duty to recommend this great
medicine to all suffering humanity.
