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

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.

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."

LIBEL TRIAL OPENS
Mr. Mokel Gives Testimony of
Damage Caused by Letter.
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.
Mr. Mokel testified that the cattle
he purchased from outside the state
came from one J. L. Courtier. He said
he did not remember any dealings with
