SEPTEMBER 2G. 1916. ray EXHIBITS AT FAIR HOLD INTEREST Addison Bennett Writes of Attractions Provided at ; Big State Show. : POULTRY DISPLAY GREAT Lowly Hen, Duck 'and -Goose Are Scored in Place Formerly te- -voted 'to Babies in Day of Eugenics Craze, BT ADDISON BEXNETT. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 25. (Special.) There was a little rain during last niaht and early this morning, ' just enough, to lay the dust, a trifle; but it cleared up about 9 A. M., and the day baa been lovely, with just enough twang in the air to make It'unus'ually comfortable. - - - Many of the exhibits are still in an incomplete state, and there are many booths not yet occupied, but by tomor row the fair will be practically com plete. Several of the county displays are in place, notably Marlon. Clackamas and Union. The fine farm exhibit of Chester Michelsen, that attracted so much at tention at the Multnomah County Pair at Gresham last week, is intact, and undoubtedly will receive favorable com ment from all sources. One of the great attractions of today has been the musicians from Harney County. They gave a recital on the plaza at the grounds this forenoon, and another this afternoon, and will give another this evening, also two tomor row. The fair management was indeed fortunate in securing the services of the youngsters. The flax exhibit made by the state authorities is proving an eye-opener to a great many people. The booth where It is shown is the center of attraction in the new building, and no doubt will be all the week. Great good to the state should redound, for if we can successfully grow as fine staple as is shown, and with large yields to the acre, we have an industry that is sure to bring fame to the state at large and big returns to those who embark in its production. : O. A. C. Display Attractive. The Oregon Agricultural College ex hibit is, as usual, one of the most at tractive on the grounds. It is very dif ferent from former years and more in teresting. Every fair visitor should look it over carefully. It is in the usual place, just at the entrance to the old pavilion. The stock barns are well filled, and theC number of hogs and Holstein and Jersey dairy stock is very large, and with many individual animals of great merit. II. W. Jones, of the Hill Crest Farm, Amity, Or., has 27 head of Hol steins. every one of which is a real show animal. Arthur Edwards, of the Meadow View Holstein Farm, at Turn er. Or., also makes a mighty fine show ins?. Both men are sure to take many prizes. The Waldo Hills Belgian- Company, of Macleay, Or., has one of the finest groups of horses of that breed that has ever been shown at our fairs. The same may be said of the Berkeshire hogs shown by the Winona Farm, at grants fass, F. R. Steel, proprietor. When it comes to poultry it is nrob able the present showing is the best evejr made at one of our State Fairs. The poultry-house has every Den filler! and the overflow is housed in the old eugenics building, where there were Kius galore two years ago. . . a Eugenlc-M In Discard. ..By the way, how Is it that the eugenics craze has been cast into the discard? ' In 1914 the promoters of the science were clamoring for a special building for the scoring of the youngsters, and. in a measure, that parr or tne big show dominated most or the rest. Now, in the place where tne aoctors wielded their taDe mens ures, thermometers and all other sorts oi meters and new-fangled apparatus in attempting to find the child nerfeot the lowly hen and duck and goose hold sway, with judges scoring them for points. Well, it may be all for the best. Many old-timers, like myself, remember the days of their childhood, before eugenics were invented, or at least, much dis cussed, when mother used a slipper in her; scoring operations and dad alter nated between puncheons and hame straps, often leaving the score vis ible) a few inches below the small of the back, making standing up for days and days a necessitous enjoyment, par ticularly when the old gentleman used the. buckle end of the etrap to do the scoring. And yet. In those days, a pretty sturdy jotr or . people were produced, as was shown during the Civil War. Just a few. days ago it was related in th patches that two postmasters had each corranea a recruit for the Army in th course of a week, receiving therefor from Uncle Sam $5 per recruit. When Lincoln, 65 years old. called for 75,000 men. the number was made up over DLfnt, ana iuo.ooo more turned awav. Eugenically speaking, none of those men had been perfect infants, but thev "were mighty good men, mighty sturdy una mignty Drave. obtain cars in time was said to have been responsible for their non-arrival. The displays of Oregon agricultural products from every part of the state, shown in the new pavilion, are calcu lated to amaze even the blase Orego nian used to the "wonders of Oregon farms. Sheaves of golden-hued grain, luscious fruits and mammoth vege tables grown as if to satisfy the appe tite of a giant, adorn the booths of the 19 counties having exhibits. One of the most striking individual farm exhibits' is that of Ivan Stewart. 20-year-old son of James S. Stewart, editor of the Fossil Journal, in Wheeler County. Young Mr. Stewart will enter the Oregon Agricultural College this year to take a farming course, although the products he has to show from a 640-acre dry land farm, visitors declare. entitle him to a degree of master farmer already. Mr. Stewart said he had raised this year enough hay, corn fodder and field peas to 'Winter 100 head of cattle and horses, besides 2026 bushels of grain. For those interested in poultry, the Oregon state hospital is showing a few of its champion' hens of the famous Oregon "Agricultural College Oregon variety. Hen No. 102 sits proudly be side a basket of -303 eggs, her lay in the past year. The eggs weigh 37 pounds and 14 ounces, while the hen tips the scale at 4 pounds, 10 ounces. Agricultural products of the state hospital farm also are shown. L. M. Lane is in charge. Motto Adorns Coos Exhibit. "Corn and cows make the coin. This is the motto placarded aboye the Coos County exhibit, which is made of giant stalks of corn, great cylinders of cheese and grain, fruit and. vegetables. The State Highway and Engineering departments' have a large booth, show ing models of the Columbia Highway and its different types of bridges, pave ment types and methods of irrigation as followed on different projects in the arid portion of the state. Another pretentious exhibit is that of the Oregon Agricultural College, in the old pavilion. H. A- Vickers is In charge of this exhibit. One section of the display shows food products and their . relative cost to the consumer, while adjoining this graduates of the domestic science department demon- trate methods of cooking so as to eliminate waste. A model living-room also is shown, designed by the depart ment of household arts. The work done on the experiment stations through ir rigation, drainage, seed testing, etc also is demonstrated by suitable exhibits. School club work in the counties of Oregon is shown in the educational de partment, in general charge of E. F. Carlton, assistant sperlntendent of pub lic instruction. The state training schools for boys and girls also have exhibits of their work in this department. EXPORTS MAKE RECORD HALF B1LI.IOX A MONTH MARK REACHED FOR FIRST TIME.

SUN SHINES ON BIG FAIR ' (Continued From First Paee.) leading to the grandstand at Lone Oak track being lined with allurements of nearly every kind. The races today drew probably 2000 persons. The track was In excellent condition and the contests throughout the. afternoon close and interesting.

Imports decreased in August, the total of J199.247.391 being $47,000,000 below that of June, the record month. It was greater, however, than the total for any previous August. Exports for the year ended with August aggregated $4,750,000,000 and the imports $2,200. 000.000, both totals being far in ad vance of those for any similar period.

THISOfl FIGHTS CASE ALLEGED SWISDLER GETS HEAR ING TODAY AT SACRAMENTO, Oregon Requisition la Contested. Funds for Bringing; Back Pris oner Are Found. EUGENE, Or., Sept. 25. (Special.) P. G. Mathison, alleged to have de frauded, owners of land in Linn, Lane and Douglas counties of farm property valued at more than $50,000, will be given a hearing before Governor John son, of California, at Sacramento to morrow. He Is resisting requisition by Governor Withycombe. of Oregon. Mathison was arrested in Oakland three weeks, ago, but was subsequently released, because the Governor of Ore gon declined to issue requisition pa pers, owing to lack of funds with which to bring the prisoner back to the state. Last week it was discovered that funds were available for this purpose and Mathison was again placed under ar rest. Deputy Sheriff Dillard Elkins, who is in Sacramento on the case, this afternoon telegraphed Sheriff Parker that the hearing in the matter of hon oring the requisition will be tomorrow. Mathison is charged with having de frauded the Oregon farmers by giving them worthless deeds to Texas land for valuable Oregon property, which he later disposed of to a third party. The complainant in Lane County is Andrew Bossen, who traded his farm on Camp Creek, valued at some $10,000, for a deed to Texas land. TIMES IS IN NEW HOME Seattle . Paper Occupies Modern Structure Just Completed. SEATTLE, Sept. 25. The Seattle Times was issued today from its new five-story steel and concrete building on Times Square, facing Westlake ave nue. The new building is a memorial to Colonel A Id en J. Blethen, who died last year after he had made all ar rangements for construction of the new building. The American flag that waved In the cloud of smoke during the fire of Feb ruary. 1913, over the old building on Second avenue, was hoisted above the new structure this morning. Tonight a large new flag was raised. A great crowd gathered in the square to hear the band concert and sea a display of fireworks. Court, However, Still Considers Evi dence of Trust Dealings and Refuses to Grant Plea for Dismissal of Action. Each side in the so-called cement trust case won and lost a point yes terday in the preliminary skirmishing in the Federal Court. The defense scored when Federal Judge Wolverton denied the application of Aman Moore, vice-president and treasurer of the Oregon Portland Ce ment Company, for a preliminary in junction ousting defendant officers and directors of the company from parti cipation in its affairs. At the same time Judge wolverton reserved comment on one of the big issues involved in the fight for this injunction the contention of the com plainant that R. P. Butchart. president: Clark M. Moore, sales manager, and other defendants had conspired with outside cement companies to fix prices and allot sales territory in restraint of trade until he makes his decision at the final hearing for a permanent injunction. Non-Snlt Is Denied. The complainant, on the other hand. won a most important point when Judge Wolverton, following his denial of the preliminary injunction, over ruled a motion by two of the companies named as defendants in the suit for $1,500,000 damages, brought by Mr. Moore in behalf of the Oregon com pany against the six defendants in the injunction action and 14 cement con cerns for the dismissal of this suit. The overruling of this motion keeps the case still in court. Attorneys for the defendants had fought hard to convince Judge Wolverton that he had no jurisdiction In either the injunction proceedings or the law action for dam ages, but he decided otherwise. Denial of the preliminary injunction automatically canceled Judge Wolver ton s previous order postponing the scheduled meeting of stockholders of the company until the injunction issue should be settled. Stockholders Hold Session. Judsre Wolverton concluded his find ings at 10 o'clock, and the stockholders' meeting, which was attended by a large number of stockholders, with many more represented by proxy,- convened In the offices of the Oregon Portland Cement Company, 1104 Wilcox building, at 11 o'clock. After a session that was lively enough, but not especially quarrelsome, the meeting adjourned shortly after noon until 3:30 o'clock. -The afternoon session lasted -until 60 o'clock last night, when it was adjourned until 3:30 o clock next Thursday, September 28. The principal event of the meeting was the resignation of two directors on each side. Wirt Minor and W. A. Johnson, who as directors of the company had espoused the cause of the defense, pre sented their resignations and so did Paul C. Bates and Jame3 G. vilson. While they did not take an active part. the latter two directors were considered friendly to the contentions of the com plainant, Aman Moore. Resignations Are Accepted. The resignations were accepted, but no immediate action toward the elec tion of their successors was taken. The stockholders present, however, can vassed the names of 12 stockholders whom they considered eligible for elec tion to the four vacancies and a stock holders' committee, consisting of Franklin T. Griffith. J. C. Ainsworth and Edward Cookingham was directed to decide which four of the 12 should be elected. This committee will make Its report at the meeting of September 28. There is small possibility that the report will not be adopted. Aman Moore and two of his attor neys. Coy Burnett and Isham Smith. each armed with a proxy, attended the meeting. Some opposition flared up when Mr. Moore brought in a stenographer to take down the minutes of the meeting including everything said by every per son present. The stenographer ex hibited a proxy, however and there after industriously took notes without molestation. Offer of Evidence Refused. The nearest approach ' to undue warmth at the meeting followed the insistence of Mr. Moore that R. P. Butchart. president and director; M. J. Ballard, vice-president and director, and L. C. Newlands, superintendent and director, resign with the four who turned In their resignations. Mr, Butchart was not present, but Mr. Bal lard and Mr. Newlands declined to ac cede. - - . Mr. Moore thereupon insisted that the meeting hear evidence he said he would present against the three. The stockholders then went on record to the effect that the evidence was a mat ter for the court and not them to hear and decide. Alleged Plot Falls to Develop. Not the hint of any attempt by the stockholders to recommend the dis missal of Aman Moore's $1,500,000 dam age action for alleged conspiracy in restraint of trade against the Oregon Portland Cement Company was made at the meeting. Neither was any at tempt made to remove Mr. Moore as vice-president. This had been stated in the prelim inary call as one of the purposes of the meeting and it had been alleged by Mr. Moore in his application for an injunction, that a conspiracy both to remove him and to dismiss the law action was afoot for the meeting. The six defendants in Mr. Moore's injunction proceedings were R. P. Butchart, president and director; M. J. Ballard, vice-president and director; George Macdonald, secretary; L. C. LiJewlands, superintendent and director: Clark M. Moore, sales manager, and Charles Boettcher, big stockholder. Jurisdiction Is Assumed. After Judge Wolverton had denied the injunction, John F.Logan, Coy Bur nett and Isham N. Smith, attorneys for Mr. Moore, asked that the hearing on the granting of a permanent injunc tion be held at the earliest possible time. They estimated that it would take about two weeks. After October 2 had been vigorously objected to by Attor ney Wirt Minor for the defense. Judge Wolverton set the hearing for Novem ber 20. In his decision denying the appli cation for a preliminary injunction Judge Wolverton, after ruling that the court had full jurisdiction, said in part: "There" is no complaint here of Inter locking directorates. It is alleged that Butchart and Boettcher are holders of stock in several companies, but this is not condemned, as we have seen by an act of Congress Now the com plaint is that Butchart and, Boettcher are in control of these other cement companies, and that through the hold ing by Butchart of stock in the Oregon Portland Cement Company of proxies of stock therein, and his domination of the board of directors, they will' con tinue to carry out their alleged con spiracy to discriminate against the Ore gon Portland Cement Company and in favor of others named in the complaint. Domination Not Believed. "The preliminary injunction sought looks to the future and not to the past. What has been done is done, and the preliminary Injunction cannot undo that; and the question here is whether, if there has been a conspiracy entered into and in restraint of trade and dis criminatory, as it relates to the Oregon Portland Cement Company, that con spiracy is likely to be continued. If so, it ought presently to be restrained. But if it is not likely to be continued, conceding that such restraint has here tofore existed, there is no occasion for the restraintive remedy. . . . "The complainant is entirely satisfied with the four of the directors, himself being one of them. Two of the direct ors ho acquits of any conspiracy by naming no charges against them, ex cept to say that Butchart dominates the board. I do not think he does, and the testimony amply sustains me in this opinion. ... "So I say there need be no fear that this board of directors is going to per petuate such a conspiracy If any such in fact exists. . . . No Conspiracy Expected. "As ,lt relates to the stockholders' meeting it is submitted that Butchart and Boettcher and those in sympathy with him will dominate a majority and hence will be in control In such meet ing. It Is shown, however, that Butch art and Boettcher and other stockhold ers, whom they have induced to send proxies, have sent all their proxies, some to Edward Cookingham. some to Franklin T. Griffith and some to J C. Ainsworth. leaving it to their personal judgement as to how such proxies should be used and voted. "The honorable standing of these men for probity and fair dealing is a sufficient guarantee against any par ticipation In any conspiracy looking to a violation of the law. No measure of evu purpose need be anticipated as a result of the meeting, and it is not likely that any conspiracy In restraint of trade derogatory to the just inter ests of the Oregon Portland Cement Company will be fostered or favored thereby, so that there is no threatened injury io complainant thereby. "Much testimony has been offered through affidavits, letters and other exhibits with a purpose of showing that uuicnari ana ioeitcner, and with them Clark M. Moore, were engaged In an unlawful conspiracy in restraint of trade discriminatory to the business of mis company, but as to this I ought not to assert an opinion at this time. 'I find it not necessary to a decision of the matter before me, and I will refrain from doing so. As It pertains to the alleged conspiracy to secure a dismissal of the case at law, I am per- suaaea mat no substantial reason exists why the stockholders and di rectors of this concern may not get together and settle their difficulties. The complainant Is not entitled) to a preliminary Injunction, and the same will be denied." 1 When You Buy a Coat Be It Cloth or Paint You Want Service and Appearance Sherwin-Williams Paints for a half century have been, and are today Standard, that is, all other brands, no matter what or where, endeavor to approach Sherwin-Williams quality.

DEMURRER IS OVERRULED W. II. Lytle Required to Show That Allegations Are True or That Xo Damage Was Done Appli cant for Postofflce Job.' Testimony concerning damages sus tained by the publication of a letter written by State Veterinarian W. H. Lytle with regard to the competency of George R. Mokel for the postmaster ship of North Portland, and efforts of the defense to trap witnesses for the plaintiff into admissions substantiating the charges of the letter, enlivened the opening of the $50,000 libel suit in the court of Circuit Judge McGinn yester day. The communication in question was written Xjo O. M. Plummer, secretary of the Union Stock Yards, at a time when North Portland Interests were protest ing against the confirmation of the ap pointment of Mr. Mokel as postmaster. ine letter was published in several newspapers and sent to Congress. Mr. Mokel's appointment was not con firmed. Letter Telia of Cattle Sales. The communication in question was written April 12. 1916. and said of Mr. Mokel: "I personally know that he has knowingly sold cattle affected with tuberculosis to buyers throughout the state and that he has. to the best of my knowledge, been instrumental in bringing tubercular cattle into the state for the purpose of selling to unsuspect ing buyers. "He has been closely in league with James Dorsey, of Gilberts, 111., whom the Federal Bureau of Animal Industry has now under indictment for the In terstate movement of diseased animals. I personally do not think George R. Mokel would be a fit person to hold any public position." The defense demurred that Mr. Plum mer should have been the defendant in the suit, as he was the one who caused the publication of the letter, but Judge McGinn held that Mr. Lytle was liable as a person putting in motion an agency of injury without restrictive words. That, it was held, put It up to the defense to prove the allegations of the letter, or that no damage was done. If It would win its case. Further Evidence Reanired. "I was not confirmed on account of these damaging publications. testl fled Mr. Mokel. but his assertion must be disregarded by the Jury, ruled Judge McGinn, as a conclusion of the witness, for there was no testimony to that effect. "The Swift interests were the chief ones to protest against my confirma tion." said Mr. Mokel. "Some men have since told me they were coerced into objecting. 1 believe Swift main tained a lobby against me in Wash ingtora. They'd stoop to anything. I don t Know why they should though for I've known Louis and Edward Swift since they were boys. I knew them better than I know you. Judge.
