SALEM, Or., Oct 1. (Special.) A new record was set for attendance at cthe State Fair today when about 25. 000 persons passed through the grates. It was Salem day, and right royally did the Capital City and other valley towns pay tribute to Oregon products. All previous attendance records were broken. With not a cloud In the sky and as beautiful an Autumn day as Oregon or any state can boast, the crowds started to the fair grounds early, and from 9 o'clock In the morning- until 9 o"clock at night there was a steady stream of humanity passing through the "tent city" to the grounds. The streetcar system was taxed to the limit, but managed to give good service, and all automobiles in the city were kept busy. But large as was the attendance to day It is believed that it will be eclipsed tomorrow, Portland day, when the metropolis Is expected to be better represented at the fair than ever be fore. Virtually all of Salem will be at the grounds tomorrow, and with the ad dition of the Portland people there truly will be standing room only. The grandstand at the racetrack was crowded to its capacity today. Desire to Attend Shown. That Oregonians will attend the an nual exhibition in great numbers with propitious weather has been demon strated during the first three days this week, all previous records having been broken. Tomorrow's programme is as tine as was ever arranged by the management, and it is predicted that 85,000 or 40,000 persons will attend. All business houses and public of fices, with the exception of those the law requires to keep open, were closed today, and employer and employe joined the merry crowd at the fair grounds. The programme was so ar ranged that there was amusement and entertainment for the entire day and evening. Three bands, the Chemawa Indians, Cherrians' and McElroy'B ren dered concerts throughout the day. The bright sunshine of the early morning started the crowds to the fair grounds, and by noon It was estimated that 10,000 persons had entered. Wearing their natty cream-colored uniforms, the Cherrians, led by the Palem Band, marched to the Southern Pacific station at 10 o'clock to meet the Radiators, of Eugene. The visitors end the Cherrians marched through the principal streets and then went to the fair grounds for luncheon. New Record Is Expected. That all records for attendance will be broken this year Is assured if tomor rowPortland day is as fine fair weather as the first three days. Even now the management is figuring on coming out ahead, and all the officers are wearing broad smiles. ' About 2000 of the finest babies In Oregon have been examined In the eugenics department, one of the most Interesting of the fair, which closed this afternoon. The names of the prizewinners will not be made public tintu Friday night, when Governor Wes' will announce them and make the awards in Music Hall. There are 28 prizes, the aggregate cost being about $1000. Babies irom an parts or me state were entered In the contest, and It was unquestionably the best eugenics exhibition ever held In the state. The first prize for rural babies is J100 in gold, and a similar prize will be given for the best city baDy. Benton Will Try Again. Although the Benton County people still believe that they have as fine a county exhibit as Douglas County. winner of first prize, they take their defeat good naturedly. and declare they will come back next year determined to win highest honor. Benton has won first honors five times. Clackamas County also will make a determined effort to win next year, being encouraged by winning second prize last year and third this week. E. P. Carter, ex-Representative In the Legislature, who has cnarge of the ex hibit declared today that he could have won first honor for his county this year if he had been allowed the time In which to assemble the best his county can produce. More awards were made today in' the children's Industrial department, which Is crowding the eugenics for the honor of being the most popular department of the fair. The building is far too small for the display and the crowds that gather in It at all times of the day. The management has decided to erect a new building for the eugenics contest next year, and it is not im probable that another will be built for the children's Industrial department. "If the children's industrial depart ment keeps on growing as It has been." said E. F. Carleton, Assistant Superintendent of Public Instruction, who Is in charge, "we shall need the largest building on the grounds. And I see no reason why It should not continue to grow, for the people are learning now what the children can do under proper instruction, and aru being Interested. Eug-ene Radiators See Fair.

TiMtin IO CTAMniMfi "DAT" IHIUivH lo oihuuihu ini Foreman Who "Discovered" 'Claim' Is Firm In Declaration That Slount Tabor Gravel Not "Salt ed" Before Assay Made. Portland has either a real gold mine, carrying values which would cause a rush In almost any mining district In the world, or the city Is the victim of a practical Joke on the part of T. Tanna, foreman at Mount Tabor Park. Both possibilities are being Investi gated by Park Superintendent Mische, while City -Attorney LaRoche- Is look ing up legal barriers to prevent pros pectors or speculators from attempting to establish a mineral claim on the ground and several hundred Interested bystanders are awaiting developments. The reputed gold mine, which has been uncovered In a thick strata of dark-colored sand and volcanio ash on the edge of Interlink Drive In Mount Tabor Park, was visited yesterday by more than 1000 persons. Prospecting was forbidden In the two holes that have been opened up in the sidehill by excavations for the Jrive. Park Superintendent Mische started an Investigation of the authenticity of the assay which was made Monday, showing $1092.66 gold -to the ton. He heard rumors yesterday to the effect that Mr. Tanna, who took the sample of the rock to the assayer, had "salted" the sample with bits of high-grade ore brought here from Telluride, Colo. Mr. Tanna yesterday denied this report. Assayer Williams, who tested the gravel for Mr. Tana, says that he has tested much volcanic ash and -material resembling - the formation and had never known It to carry more than 10 or $15 in gold to the ton. He said that he had never heard of any ore in this part of the country running high In gold and declared that It re quires a rich mine to produce an assay of $1000 to the ton. Another assay will be made to verify the assay made by Mr. Tanna, City Attorney LaRoche set Deputy City Attorney Meyers to work yester day looking up the law regarding the right of any person to file on the land for mining purposes. As a result of the Investigation Mr. LaRoche will PARK HOAX? The R emova Gs prepare an opinion this morning to the effect that no person can secure any mining rights In the park. He advised against the city tiling on tne ciaim to protect the city's rights, as sug gested Tuesday by Superintendent Mische. Park Superintendent Mische an nounced yesterday that If It Is found that the ground really carries high gold values, as shown by the assay, he will make a survey to determine the depth of the gold deposit and Its extent, with the end In view of de veloping a mining project for the city. Mr. Tanna, who says he Is an old mining man, does not believe the strike Is extensive enough to warrant oper ations, saying that "there Is really nothing to get excited about." Super intendent Mische and members- of the City Commission have taken the op posite view of the proposition, declar ing that If there is $1092 to be secured from each ton of the material In the park It Is worth operating. Crowds of curious investigators be gan to flock to the park bright and early yesterday. In the crowds were old mining men, who said that the formation, as uncovered, might carry gold, but does not look like It would be as rich as the assay would Indi cate. It Is estimated that close to a ton of the formation has been taken away already by persons desiring small sam ples for panning and testing. 1ST REFUND IS ISSUE STATE EMERGMCT BOARD TO VOTE ON REQUEST. Friend of Governor Says Executive Will Be Pleased If Motion to Reimburse- Him Is Lost. SALEM, Or., Oct. 1. CSpeclaL) An other spirited session of the State Emergency Board is expected tomor row when It convenes to consider Gov ernor West's request that he be reim bursed $1500 which he spent personally in the prosecution of his moral cru sades, after $1300 appropriated by the Legislature had been exhausted. While it Is believed the board will recom mend that the Legislature reimburse the Governor, a majority vote only be tag necessary to do It, vouchers will be gone over carefully and pointed questions asked. Senator Perkins, Secretary of State Olcott and Governor West are certain to vote for the recommendation to re tmburse, and as the board consists of seven members only one more favorable vote is necessary. President of Senate Malarkey Intimated at the last meet ing of the board that he would favor the motion If he found the bills and vouchers to be satisfactory. A friend of the Governor Is authority for the statement that Mr. West will be pleased If. the motion is lost. He has an offer to go on the lecture platform to reimburse himself, but It Is hardly probable he would do that.

NEW HIGHWAY ROUTE DUE Clarke County Farmers Said to Be Holding Land Too High. VANCOUVER, Wash., Oct 1. (Spe cial.) That there is some possibility that the Pacific Highway may be changed from Its course In one or more sections of Clarke County Is apparent from the action of a number of farm ers living along the right of way, who desire to get more than the land Is worth from the state. Mr. Perclval, of the State Highway Commission, has been making a trip through the section of the Pacific Highway near La Center and it is said the right of way may be changed, if the farmers persist In hold ing the price of land at a higher fig ure than it is really worth.
