On dress parade, Oregon horses, the elite of the state, pranced and posed for hundreds of ad mirers hero tonight, when the first an nual herseshow under State Fair aus pices opened for four night's exhibi tion. The hrse show was easily the feature of the second day of the fair and drew a big crowd. The show took place in a lares tent, raised especially for thi occasion. Horses belonging to members of the Portland Hunt Club, animals with track records, powerful draft horses, and di minutive Shetlanas, stepped prouaiy past the watching throngs In the sta dium as if eenscioua of the admiration which their appearance evoked. 10 morrow night the "400" of Oregon's cat tle will pass in review. Attendance Is Larger. The attendance was larger than yes terday. though not up to expectations The races proved a magnet to the greater portion of visitors, although the exhibit booths in the different buildings drew many. Up to the present the scores of side attractions have failed to ao mucn dubi ness with the crowds, who apparently prefer to devote their time to Inspect Ins the exhibits or watching the hors races at Lene Oak track. Because i proved too realistic in its Interpreta tions, "The Pays of '49," a vaudeville concession, was ejected from th grounds by Secretary Lea. Complaint were made by patrons that the moral tone of the concession was peiow par. Woman's Day Observed. During the. afternoon observance of Woman's dav was noted by a pro gramme given in the auditorium of the new pavilion. The programme was under the auspices of different worn en's organizations. Among the speak ers were M- L- Jones, president of the State Fair hoard; Mrs. Edythe Tozier "Weatherred. Secretary of State Olcott, Mrs. C. II. Castner, president of th State Federation of Women's Clubs Mrs. Jenne Kemp, state president of the woman a Christian Temperance Union; Mrs. Joseph Pettit, president of the Portland Woman's Club; Mrs. George, W. McMath, president of th Oregon Congress of Mothers, and others. Following the meeting the women of Salem gave a reception to th visitors. Weather Indication Favorable. Although clouds which had gathered during the night hovered ominousl for a time today, the skies cleared late in the afternoon, giving promise good weather for tomorrow, Salem day. With the arrival of the Shriners' special from Portland in tho morning one of the big days of the fair scheduled. Great erowds are predicted as it is one of the two days when the big stake races will be run on Lone Oak track. Forty hoys and 40 girls, winners in tlae State Industrial Club contests held during the last year, are encamped on the grounds for a week's. stay, as re ward for their victories. They are probably getting more real enjoyment and knowledge from their experiences here than any ethers. The boys' camp is in charge of J. V. Fike, of Salem, and the girls are chaperoned by Mrs. N. C. Maris, of Portland. Tractor Contests Feature. Daily contests between different makes of farm tractors are productive of much Interest, since the use to which those of the caterpillar type have been put by the armies in Europe has be come generally known. These cum brous looking machines climb over logs and other obstructions with ease, draw ing applause from the hundreds of spectators. Tho Indian exhibit, under charge of Major E. L. Bwartzlander, of the Uma, tilla reservation, is said to be the most complete ever shown 1 in -the Pacific Northwest. The exhibit comprises bead work, basketry, needlework and prod ucts or tne son. Why Baker County residents realize nearly $6,000,000 annually from th products of their mines and soil and from their livestock is told in part by the excellent exhibit arranged by Man ager jueacnam, or tne HaKer Commer eial Club. Two large gilded cubes dem enstrate the relative amount of the mineral product of Baker County and the entire state. Baker County mines yielding $1,810,796 last y:ar. of the total state output of $2,003,509. VNIOX COTJXTY I'TJPILS TIE I'our Industrial School Workers to Hare Exhibits at State Fair. LA GRANDE.

TBAIX CREW WILIj BE ELKS Members of Lodge Will See That Their Brothers ileaeh Fail". Members of the train crew who will take the Portland Elks to the State Fair at Salem tomorrow themselves will be Elks. The train will be a special on the Southern Pacific, and will carry about 203 members of the Portland lodge, together with the hand of 40 pieces. The band will give a concert on the fair grounds tomorrow night. Elks from all over the state will Join in the fes tivities. John F. Franzen will be the engineer. I. J. Smith the conductor and C. W. Stinger, city ticket agent, will be in general charge of the special. All are members of the Portland lodge. Mr. Omann accompanied a shipment to Portland and remained here for two months, paid by Mr. Mokel. he said. Lee Potter was & witness caiiea who testified to the purchase of 23 head of cattle from Mokel, nine of which died shortly after they were receipted for. he said. When he complained, ne saia Mr. Mokel told him that he had known Dorsey 25 to SO years and that uorsey was a straight, honest man. Mr. Mokel on the stand said he had become ac quainted with Dorsey only in recent years. Motion for a non-suit on tne grounas that no proof of malice had been shown was made by the defense shortly before noon, when the plaintiff concluded his case. This was denied by Judge Mc Ginn. Whether the case would come under the heading of conditional privi lege was. a question left for the jury to decide. Good Faith Is Question. "Public good requires that the char acter, conduct and fitness of candidates for public office should be fully dis cussed," said Judge McGinn. "There should be no abridgment of this right if one speaks the truth. And though to take the case of a newspaper the things printed are erroneous and false, the newspaper should not be subjected to damages unless there is present the element of malice. "If an official should make a state ment about a candidate in good faith. he should not be called to account lor it. In the case at issuo whether or not what was said was In the line of duty of Mr. Lytie. whether or not it was true, and whether or not there was in it the element of malice are questions of fact for the Jury to de termine. If without malice, tne jury should find for the defendant; if un true and malicious, he should be held responsible."

Every Shrlner is expected to wear hi fes and to go prepared for & rousing good time. The Al Kader band of So tne Al 4.aaer patrov ei s portlns and selling tubercular cattle in Oregon, by specific instances, war outstanding features in the defense o the i50,00J libel suit on trial before Circuit Judge McGinn yesterday. Testimony from an ex-Government Inspector, backed by a sworn deposition from a man who declared he helped "dope" diseased stock s'hlpped to Mr. Mokel from Illinois, took a prominent part in the hearing. Representative C. N. McArthur took hand in the trial with testimony re garding an alleged sale made to him of tubercular stock by Mr. Mokel. Poattmauteraliip Is Opposed. The letter was written by Mr. Lytie to support a protest of North Portland interests against the confirmation of the appointment of Mr. Mokel as post master of North Portland last Spring, and the chief defense of the libel suit growing out of the publication of the letter Is an attempt to prove the truth of the allegations contained in the mis sive. Represenat I ve McArthur said he had protested against the confirmation of Mr. Mokel as he did not believe he was fitted for the postmastership. Dr. J. G. Beattie, a veterinarian who was In the Government service in 1912 and 1913, testified to the Inspection of a shipment of 73 head of cattle sent to Mr. Mokel through H. Courtier, salesman, from James Dorsey, of Gil bert, III., a man now under Federal Indictment for shipment of diseased cattle. This shipment was Inspected Novem ber 14. 1912, by Dr. Beattie. Eighteen, he testified, were of such a high tem perature that tho test was worthless, 11 were suspected of being tubercular, five were lndisputedly tubercular, and the remainder were "non-reactors" and raised the suspicion that they were doped. Cattle are sometimes "doped" to prevent an effective Government tu bercular test, explained the veterinary. Deposition Is Kend. It was regarding this same shipment, said Dr. Beattie, that E. 1. Omann, of Waukesha, Wis., told in his sworn deposition, read to the Jury. This deposition, which was taken Septem ber 11. 1916, set forth that Mr. Omann had known Mr. Mokel in November, 1912, when he was salesman for the cattle Mr. Omann was handling as an employe of James Dorsey, of Illinois.

Sept. 2. (Special.) A large number of citizens were sworn in as special deputies late today to assist Mayor Barton in han dling the I. W. W. situation, after a crowd of 150 earlier in the day had chased 40 I. W. W. from the city Jail and locked them In two refrigerator cars. The crowd was armed with base ball bats. The crowd Intended to ship the pris oners out of the city, but the Northern Pacific Railway refused to haul them. The men were locked in the cars and later returned to the city Jail. A telegram was sent to Governor Lis ter tonight urging that the return of local National Guard companies from American Lake be hastened and asking permission to use the state quarry stockade at Seiah for prisoners If nec essary. In the jail earlier in the day some of the I. W. W. tore up their bunks, ripped up the floor and broke down windows, and only were quieted when the firemen turned a hose on them. At a mass meeting over which Mayor Barton presided resolutions were adopted promising support to the city officials in handling the situation. O. E.

GRAY Corner Washington and West Park PRODUCTS OF STATE AT FAIR MUCH ADMIRED Addison Bennett Reviews History of 55 Years and Points Out Advances Made Corn Crop Predicted Great Source of Future Revenue. BY ADDISON BENNETT. SALEM, Or.. Sept. 26. (Special.)- The first State Fair held In Oregon was, I believe, just 55 years ago. Its originators undoubtedly had in view a double purpose-the developing and fostering of the agricultural interests of Oregon and the divertisements and friendly meeting of the people of tho state. It would make an Interesting story to begin with the fair of 1861, when many of the visitors came in ox carts and lumber wagons, many of them driving over 200 miles, and follow along fair after fair until today, when automobiles by the hundred bring in their quota of visitors frorff every por tion of the state. To tell the story properly one would have to deal largely with the camping grounds provided for the visitors from tho first in the great grove adjacent to the fairground gates, later called the Tent City, ruled and governed as a municipality, and many of the sites taken year after year by the same people. Indeed, a good ma,ny of the sites nave been annually oc cupied by the same families or their descendants from the beginning until now. Products of Soli Studied. Believing that agriculture and the livestock interests of the farms are the foundation upon which rests the State Fair, I spent most of my time to day in the new building devoted to toe horticultural and agricultural interests of the state. As you enter the building from the front you come at first to the Wasco County exhibit, and then the following exhibits in the order named, passing to the right around the lower floor to the place of entrance: Jackson, Benton, Polk, Multnomah, Linn, Tillamook, Douglas, the one-farm exhibit of R. A. Minor, Heppner; the one-farm exhibit of Chester Mickelsen. Gresham; the Sagehurst one-farm exhibit. Coos Coun- the exhibit of the Eugene Chamber Commerce, Josephine County; the NORMAL SURVEY MADE average: AGE V PRACTICE TEACHERS IS 33 YEARS. Experience of Monmouth Senior Who Will Graduate, in MldVVInter More Than Two Years. MONMOUTH, Or., Kept. 26. "Practice teachers are not Just girls." Thus headed is the report on a sur vey made last week among the seniors of the Oregon Normal School by Presi dent J. H. Ackerman. Within the last two years the presi dent has been told that "the age line of girls who are completing their teach ing course is now too low" and that "the finishing year for the practice teachers comes with too little teaching experience In public schools as a basis. The Monmouth Training School is the place where every senior of the Normal School is required to do practice teach ing at least 100 hours before gradua tion. There are 60 students who will finish at mid-year and all have begun their practice work. It was here that President Ackerman queried each teacher. The average age he found to be slightly over 23 years. Some had had four years' experience as teachers before entering school; a few more than that. The average was more than 2 ft terms. Considering the low salaries paid Oregon grade teachers on an average over the state, the president was sur prised to find that the average for the practice teachers was 147.30. Provisions have been made to pro hibit the age line of normal students from falling below the right period. FLAX OFFER IS HIGH STATE GETS BID OF 44o A TOST FOR SCCTCHED PRODUCT.

Coos Shows for First Time. First, let's look at the exhibit from Coos. - because that county has never had a chance to compete properly until tnis year, having had no rail connec tion with the rest of the state. Coos comes in now with one of the finest cheese, butter and corn exhibits eve shown in Oregon. Indeed, it seems safe to say that the' Coos corn is as good as can be shown in any county in the United States. As to the quality o the cheese and butter, that can only b judged by actual taste, and that can be left to the judges. The corn, how ever, speaks for itself. This year Coo will turn out 1,500,000 pounds of cheese and 900.000 pounds of butter from the four butter factories and eight cheese factories of that county. Morrow Exhibit Remarkable, A word now about the Morrow Coun ty exhibit, put together by W. W. Smead, of Heppner: I do net say it is one of the star exhibits in the building, unless you take into consideration tuo soil and climatic conditions of that county. Until recent years Morrow has been looked upon as a wheat county, pure and simple. So it shows what in dustry, intelligence and perseverance can do to look at the splendid products. more particularly the corn, presided over by Mr. Smead. Now a few words as to what seems to be the coming dominant crop of Oregon corn. Some people may laugh at that, for it was said for more than two generations after the first settle ment In Oregon that "corn will not grow well nor mature in Oregon." It was D. O. Lively whom I first heard preaching the doctrine of the hog, the cow and corn. The Portland Union Stoekyards Com pany employed Mr. Lively, so perhaps we should go back of D. O. and give a lot of credit to Messrs. Daugherty and Plummer for bringing him to Ore' 80S. ! .

Because I have handwriting of Elizabeth G. Frary," replied Mrs. Ford, emphasizing "Frary." The picture was addressed to "Miss Caroline Voght," Mrs. Ford's maiden name. "You have never doubted what she said on the back of that picture?" asked Attorney McCue. "Indeed, I do doubt what she said. I am the wife of Homer N. Ford," replied Mrs. Ford. Mrs. Ford said dared introduce at Jamestown. N. D.. his old home. "He would not dare bring her to Jamestown as his wife as Harold Graves tbrother-in-law) would not stand for it," said Mrs. Ford.

Board of Control ot to Take Action Until Other Offerings Are Had. , Crop Will ray Profit. SALEM, Or., Sept. 16. (Special.) The State Board of Control has taken no action on an offer of the California Cotton Mills Company, of Oakland, to buy 30 tons of scutched flax for J110 a ton. The offer expired Monday, but the members of the Board in Salem decid ed to investigate further what prices might be obtained from other firms. With flax fiber In demand, it is be lieved no difficulty will be experienced by the state in disposing of its crop this year. The crop this year will total ap proximately 80 tons of scutched straw. If this is sold before being hackled the state would receive $3a,200 for the crop en the basis of the offer made by the Oakland firm. Members of the Board, however, are undecided what their final course will be. as they feel it is possible higher offers for the scutched flax may be obtained. The Board now is in com munication with other firms handling flax. To handle the 1916 crop and pay lor It will cost tho state about KO.OOO, so that, from present indications, a profit will be realized this year.
