BY ADDISON BENNETT.
SALEM, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.)
You can set down the attendance at
the State Fair today as the largest ever
assembled on the grounds. I have this
from President Booth, who estimated
the crowd at 80,000, and from Secretary
Meredith, who thinks there were any
way In- excess of 25,000. As Mr. Booth
was in the better position to form his
estimate, it is quite sure there were
trom 28,000 to 30.000 people there.
While the day has not been ope of
sunshine, it was nevertheless pleasant
In every way, being: Just warm enough
for comfort. There was also a total
absence of dust and the track was in
splendid condition. Tl-e races were
simply grand. In the first heat of the
2:08 pace four horses came under the
wire so close that a distance of 15 feet
would have reached from the nose of
the- leader to the sulky wheels of the
fourth.
All of the races were closely contest
ed. No record-makingr time was made,
but every heat excited the greatest
Interest and brought the audience up
standing:.
. The directors put on one extra race
today, made up of trotters in the 2:16
class and pacers of the 2:20 class. This
proved to be one of the best of the day.
Too much cannot be said of the new
system of making county exhibits.
Heretofore it has been useless .tor the
Eastern Oregon counties to 'compete
with the counties in the coast and val
ley tiers. So this year the state was
divided into three districts, the coast
counties comprising one, the valley
counties another, and the Eastern Ore
gon counties another. This brought out
four splendid exhibits from the East
ern counties Morrow, "Wallowa, Baker
and Malheur -the prizes being- awarded
in the order named. Next year will see
several other counties east of the
mountains contesting for first place,
notably Wheeler and Union, Indeed
this arrangement may bring exhibits
from every county in the state. The
rivalry in the coast counties was fully
as keen as between the eastern
counties.
It can be said safely that the agri
cultural exhibits this year far surpass
any ever before seen at one of our
state fairs, and with the exception of
horses the animal exhibits fully equal
and in most cases excel all heretofore
shown. This is especially true of hogs
and poultry. I heard a good judge of
swine say that he saw a Poland China
boar, less than 2 years old, weighing
about 700 pounds, which he ' believed
-was the best young animal of the breed
In the world.
Another thing that is pleasing is that
nearly every exhibit, no matter from
what section, has a plentiful supply of
Held corn. I suppose there are 600
stalks and ears of corn exhibited this
year where there was a half dozen 10
years ago. Then it was maintained
even by some of our foremost agricul
turists that Oregon was not and never
would be a corn state. Now many of
these same men acknowledge their
error and assert that in the immediate
future the yield of com to the acre in
Oregon will stand away up to the head
for the country over.
Of course the fruit exhibits this year
are wonderful. But you hear more, far
more, about diversified farm crops than
about fruit exclusively. With .our di
versified crops inclusive of fruit Oregon
is sure showing that this is fne place
for the Easterner who wants a farm
to come-for real prosperity.
CLACKAMAS COUNTY WI3TNER
Polk Second and Multnomah Third
In AVillametto 'Section at Fair.
SALEM. Or., Sept. 30.-r-(Speclal.)
Clackamas County, which has one of
the finest exhibits in the history of
the State Fair, .was awarded first
honor in the Willamette Valley com
petition today with a score of 94 points.
Polk County was second, Multnomah
third, Washington fourth and Yamhill
fifth.
Always a contender for first prize,
this is the first victory for Clackamas.
Two years ago Clackamas was tied
with Benton for half a day for the blue
ribbon and lost by only a small .per
centage. The grain and fruit displays
this year establish a new record and
were the factors in giving the county
the prize. R. M. Standish, of Estacada,
is in charge of the booth. He gathered
many of the products on display, many
of which were first shown at the
Clackamas County fair.
Polk County's exhibit excels in -vegetables,
Multnomali in fruit and grain
and Washington in vegetables and
grain. Yamhill's exhibit consists large
ly of manufactured products.
D. M. Lowe, of Ashland,, won first
prize for individual farm exhibits; J.
Sherman, of Lebanon, was second; C.
E. Donaldson, of Tillamook, third, and
Charles OgiTvy, of Pilot Rock, -fourth.
Rapid progress was made in the
judging of livestock today. James H.
McCroskey & Sons, of Fishtrap. Wash
won the grand shorthorn championship
for bull, any age,, with Choice King,
and for cow or. heifer, ' any age, with
Fancy Mine.
H. C Fletcher, of Salem, won the

FAIR ATTENDANCE IS URGED
O. M. Flummer Says Livestock at
Salem Show Is West's Best.
"From aVTllvestock standpoint the
Oregon State Fair this year has the
best showing of dairv cattle that the
West Coast has ever seen," said O. M.
Plummer, secretary and treasurer of
the Portland Union Stock Yards over
the long distance telephone from ba-
em last night. Mr. Plummer has been
n the habit of visiting fairs during
the past 10 or 15 years and has been
at the Salem Fair every year during
that time.
"The showing of hogs is wonderful
and, from a breeders' standpoint, this
fair has the largest exhibition of show
horses. The results obtained from the
school clubs in fruit growing, hog rais
ing, etc., are shown in the exhibit pal
aces.
"The educational exhibit is the best
that. I have ever seen at a fair of this
kind. The domestic science, manual
training and art departments are par
ticularly fine.
"There is a whopper of a crowd here
today and Portland will have to look
to her laurels tomorrow if she is to
beat "Salem Day.' They are looking for
Portland to retain Its record so.it is up
to everyone to turn out for the fair
excursion trains in the morning."
TAXPAYERS, ONLY, TO VOTE
Roseburg Finds Property Owners
Alone May Pass on Measure.
ROSEBURG, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.)
That only voters who pay taxes on
real and personal property, as shown
by the records of the County Assessor
at the last election, will be eligible to
vote on the bond issues to be submit
ted to the people of Roseburg at the
regular city election next Monday, was
the opinion handed down' by City At
torney Albert Abraham Tuesday.
The opinion was requested by the
City Council, and it is now likely that
the property clause of the city char
ter will be enforced in the coming elec
tion. Although this law has been a
part of the city charter for years, it
has been disregarded in previous elec
tions, and all voters were given the
privilege of the ballot.
Considerable opposition has been
created against the railroad bond issue
for $500,000 and it is believed Monday's
election will be one of the most spirit
ed contests held here for years. In
addition, the voters will be asked to
vote on a bond issue authorizing a
park. They also will elect four Coun
cilmen. Ontario Banks Take City Bonds.

All Classes of Citizens at

ANSWER MADE GOVERNOR
Value of Experiment Station In
stanced by Production of Hybrid
Wheat, Which Promises to Be
Worth Millions to Farmers
BAKER, Or., Sept. 30. (Special.)
Dr. James Withycombe spent today In
Baker meeting hosts of citizens who
are working for his election. A large
number of business men and fanners
gave an informal luncheon to Dr.
Withycombe, and subjects pertaining to
his campaign were discussed at length.
There was not a man present who did
not come in person to Dr. Withycombe
and promise to do all in his power to
insure the doctor's election.
The consensus of opinion was that
Dr. Withycombe would carry Baker
County by the largest majority yet
accorded to a candidate for Governor.
The people of Baker County have
known Dr.- Withycombe by-reputation
for a number of years, and they appre
ciate the work he has done for the ad
vancement of farming in -Eastern Ore
gon. Governor's Attack Resented.
Referring to Governor West's per
sonal attacks on Dr. Withycombe in
the Governor's recent address at Port
land, Dr. Withycombe said:
"It -is astonishing that the chief ex
ecutive of our state can be so inaccu
rate in his statements regarding my
connection with the Oregon Agricultu
ral College and the work of the. Eastern
Oregon Experiment Station. The state
ment made in that address by Governor
West as to my creating a position for
myself at the Agricultural College is
absolutely . and unqualifiedly false. I
have never at any time been an appli
cant for any position at the college. As
a matter of fact, a -committee of the
board of regents begged me to accept
the position, and I finally did so in the
interest of my children, two of whom
were attending the college at the time.
I have given 1 of tire best years -of
my life through the college in the
service of the State of Oregon.
Fanners Benefits Shawm.
"The Governor is apparently Incapa
ble of understanding the difference be
tween a demonstration farm and an
experiment station. A demonstration
farm should be self-supporting; an ex
periment station never is, though its
ultimate benefit to the farming indus
try far surpasses that of the demon
stration farm.
"The farm at Union is not a demon
stration farm, but an experiment sta
tion, and I would respectfully refer
the Governor to the farmers and busi
!
BELOW, AGRICULTURAL AND
ness men of Union County and Eastern
Oregon as to the value of this station
in promoting the welfare of the farm
ing industry in that section. I would
say in passing that in addition to ob
taining valuable data on stock feeding,
cultural methods, rotation of crops,
plant propagation, etc., the station at
Union has produced a hybrid wheat
that bids fair to be worth millions of
dollars to the wheat-growing industry
in Eastern Oregon." .
LINE TO RESORT PLANNED
Electric Road, Three Miles Long, Is
Proposed by Siuslaw Capital.
EUGENE. Or.. Sept 30. (Special.)
An electric railroad, three miles in
length, to operate between Glendale,
on the Siuslaw River, and Tsiltcooa
Lake, south of the Siuslaw, is contem
plated by Siuslaw capital.
The road would connect with the new
Willamette-Pacific at Glenada and
would make a direct rail route to a
Summer resort townslte on the long
string of lakes which 'extend for 15
miles along the coast between moun
tain arms.
The proposed electric line would util
ize a narrow gauge railroad contract
or's tramway which is now used to
carry coal and supplies from the sea
going barges for distribution to .the
railroad camps along the lakes. "

BORAH ATTACKS REPORT
ANTI-TRUST BILL, DECLARED AID
TO TRADE COMMISSION. -
Tendency la to Restrain Popular
Government In Opinion of
Idaho Senator.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 30. Senator
Borah, of Idaho, attacked the Clay
ton anti-trust bill conference report in
the tfenate today as a phase of the
tendency to take the Government out
of the control of the people and center
it in commissions of individuals. . He
declared that' the Clayton bill was
nothing .more than an aid to the Fed
eral Trade Commission bill.
Explaining his opposition to what
he called a tendency to restrict popular
government, the Senator quoted from
a speech of President Wilson before
his inauguration in which Mr. Wil
son said he did not believe in com
mission forms of government and that
he would not submit government to
any form of trusteeship.
Already, Senator Borah asserted, the
railroads had been turned over to the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the
banks to a Federal reserve commis
sion and industrial affairs to a trade
commission.
Trust legislation as embodied in the
bills enacted by this Congress, Sena
tor Borah declared. reflected the
