Salem. Or., Bept. 27. (Special.) All previous rec ords for a day's attendance at the Ore gon State Fair, it was estimated, were broken today, when -up to 6 P. M. 30,000 persons had poured through the gates to celebrate Salem day. This also was the day set aside for the Shriners, Woodmen and Pioneers, who came here from every part of the state to join in the festivities. The estimate of 30.000 paid admis sions was made by A. H. Lea. secretary of the State Fair Board. This number was increased materially tonight, when several thousand persons crowded the great Horse Show tent to watch the ex hibition of pure-bred cattle and horses. On Salem day a year ago it was esti mated 25.000 persons attended the Btate Fair. Today la Portland Day. The weather was perfect today, and with fair weather seemingly assured for tomorrow, Portland and Elks' day, an attendance equal to that of today is forecast. The races at Lone Oak track before the great crowd, which packed the RiandstanJ and lined the course for a quarter of a mile on each side of the stand, were the crowning feature of to day's programme, replete with attrac tions. Not half of t"H"e visitors could get within view of the speed contests, so great was the crush, and the grounds and exhibit buildings were filled with sightseers and merry makers. The various amueement at tractions along the "trail" enjoyed a thriving business. Al Kader Patrol Attends. An unusual dash of color was given to the crowd here today by the- pres ence of several thousand Shriners from Portland and other Oregon towne. The Arab patrol of Al Kader Temple, Port land, in their brilliant crimson and gold uniforms, with their red-fezzed breth ren trom other towns, were every where over the grounds, leading in the fun-making. The Shriners' band furnished music during the races and at the horse show. The Shriners north of Salem arrived at the grounds shortly before 11 o'clock today, where they were welcomed by members of the State Fair Board. They came from Portland on a special South ern Pacilic train and departed late to night. The pioneers' programme in the old pavilion tonight drew many of Ore gon's early residents. With the track in fine shape, and some of the best turf talent in the Pacific Northwest competing, the dif ferent events were full of thrilling fin ishes which brought the enthusiastic crowd to its feet. No untoward events occurred to mar the day's pleasure. Prince 7.olook Wins Shrine Purse. The star attraction of today's card was the 2:08 pace for the Shriners' stake of $2000. In a field of eight. Prince ".olock. owned by ti. A. Gard ner. of Walla Walla, won in three straight heats. County exhibit awards, made today. guve Coos first prize among the Coast counties and Tillamook second. In the Willamette Valley and Southern Ore gon districts, first prize went to Polk County: Linn was second. Jackson third, lienton fourth, Douglas fifth, Clack amas and Multnomah tied for sixth Washington seventh and Josephine eighth. In the Eastern Oregon coun ties, Wasco captured first prize. Union second and Baker, Morrow and Mal heur followed in order. The exhibit of state products by the different counties this year is pro nounced the best of any fair in the Pa cific Northwest by D. D. Olds, of Seat tle, manager of the Northwest Land Products Exposition, which will open In Seattle next week. Mr. Olds was in Salera today and made arrangements to have the exhibits of Baker, Wasco, Union, Linn and Polk counties taken to R ?-4 I -?ft C -----i'VU ifsy I ' '- '' ' t I ' ' ; - .M,'l "Tfff5 "Jack" Front and Pair Reed Fnahmrn RMllnic Their Hrron on to Victor, Reed College Sophomore Tajr-of-Uur Men Tatingr Uefeat In the Chilly Waters of Crystal Spriusra Lake.

Those planning to motor to Salem to day to participate in the Portland day festivities at the State Fair grounds should follow the East Side road for the entire distance, going from Port land to Oregon City via Sell wood, Mil waukie and the Oatfield road and then proceeding over the regular Pacific Highway route from Oregon City to Salem. The Portland motorists who have driven over the various routes recently say the West Side road is rougher than the East Side route and that the best road from Portland to Oregon City is on the eaist side of the river. The fact that the fairgrounds are located a few miles this side of Salem, along the Pa cific Highway, is another reason why the East Side road is the more feasible one to follow. FRESHIES WIN TUG Sophomores at Reed Pulled Into Water. Are Big Albany Crowd to Attend. ALBANY, Or.. Sept. 27. (Special.) Practically every business house in Al bany, together with every county of fice, will be represented at the State Fair tomorrow, when 150 auto loads of Albany Kound-up and Harvest Festival boosters will invade the Capital City and extend an invitation to the Salem ites, as well as the Portlanders who may be there for Portland day, to at tend the celebration at the Hub City. Committees have been busy all week arousing enthusiasm for the trip and. among other arrangements, seats for 300 have been reserved in the grand stand at the fair grounds racetrack. EVENT DRAWS BIG CROWDS Winning Team Is at First Put Defensive, but in Few Moments Begins to Assert Itself and Wins Iasil. After 10V4 minutes of back-breaking strain the 18 members of the Reed Col leg'e sophomore tug-of-war team slipped one by one into the chilly waters of Crystal Springs Lake and al lowed the victorious freshmen to pull their exhausted bodies through the scum of the narrows yesterday after noon. This is the second time a first-year class has. humiliated - an older team. Until last year no tug-of-war team has been induced to brave the green scum of the lake for a second time. Then the freshmen triumphed for the first time, and this year's class has emu lated their example. By 2:30 P. M. large crowds of stu dents had assembled on both sides of the lake. The sophomores, having won the flip of the coin, chose the west side. At 3 o'clock Dr. Hart and Professor Coleman superintended the laying of the rope and ordered the teams to pre pare for the ordeal. Then President Foster fired the pistol and both teams sunk back on the rope. -Sophs' Have l'n rl y Advantage. At nrst the sophomores seemed to have the advantage. Their steady "one. two. three pull" began to ede the freshmen toward the reedy mar- Kin of the water. Cunningham, their captain, stood by their side and coached them. Although he was the huskiest man on the team, it had been decided that his dynamic qualities as a direct ing general were worm more than nis brawn on the rope. He calmly stood at the head of his men and encouraged them to hold. Finally, with one sweep of his hand, he gave the command to pull. At one haul the freshmen regained all the ground they had lost. The swaying pull of the sophomores failed to budge them. Minute after minute passed until finally the watchful eye of Cunning ham discerned a weakening in the tug of the sophomores. Then lie gave the word and again the freshmen made a sweeping gain, and again they firmly held like a rock until the time was auspicious for another pull. At the end of 10 minutes Dale Hinkle, first man on the sophomore team, found his feet slipping in the slimy margin. Twenty seconds more and the scum was rip pling about his knees. The sophomores then made one last game stand, but a mighty pull from the victorious fresh men hurled them into the water in a writhing heap. Some, too exhausted to swim, clung to the rope, and the others, with feeble strokes, plied their way to the other Dank.

SALEM, Or.. Sept. 27. (Special.) There is one thing certain unless there is an unexpected change in the atmosphere between now and Sat urday, the present week ought to go bove all former records for attendance at the State Fair, for the weather thus far has been simply superb, with every sign pointing to its continuance. I have spent much of the day in the cow barns and have been well repaid, for one might travel almost the world over and not find as fine an aggrega tion of dairy and beef cattle as is here assembled. The Holstein display is said to be one of the best, perhaps the best, ever brought together. I had a long interview with William Bishop, the famous Holstein breeder of Chimacum, Wash. He had Just re turned from the Washington State Fair at North Yakima and said our fair was away above that in almost every re spect, but particularly as to dairy stock. He went on to tell of his eight years of exhibiting and said that with the exception of the Panama-Pacific Expo sition our present fair has the most and best Holsteins he ever saw together, and the other breeds, particularly the Guernseys and Jerseys, were fully equal to those of any show he ever attended. the Jerseys outnumbering and outscor ing those shown at the Panama-Pacific Show. SSO HolKtelna Owned. Mr. Bishop has on his place about 250 head of as good Holsteins as can be found in the United States. Just before I had my interview with him his cow Bonnie Ormsley Lass, registry number 131,966, had Just been awarded the prize of grand champion in cows of her class. She has a record of 25 pounds of butter lat ana oat pounds oi milk In seven days as a 3-year-old, which is said to be a world s record. J. K. Newell, of Sephers, Or., is also a Holstein breeder of note. He was not present today, but his fine herd was much in evidence, especially his bull, Quirinus "Vale Cornucopia, from the champion cow of all breeds, with a record of 31,246.9 pounds of milk in year. The Hill Crest farm of Herbert W. Jones, Amity, Or., was represented by his herd, including the world's record 2-year-old- cow, Johanna Lie Kol, of Kushcourt, No. 230,510. Clifford F. Reed, of McMinnville. had the grand champion Jersey bull. Onatas Cotiilion Boy, a wonderful animal. Mr. Reed has 21 head on exhibition and their average is high. Another Jersey herd that attracted a great deal attention "included 17 head from the Lucklamute farm of Frank Loughary, Monmouth. Or. The rivalry between the breeders in all classes was spirited and close, but more particularly in the Holsteins and Jerseys, the classes Demg so large. Mlddledale Farm Herd la Fine. The Guernsey herd of Middledale farm. Goshen. Or.. Calkins & Riggs, owners, with Mrs. Nellie Riggs, one of the firm, in charge, embraced many fine animals. There are 19 head in the lot and they are certainly fine speci mens of their breed. Another herd that called forth much praise was the Aberdeen Angus herd from North Yakima Wash., C. A. Con don and O. V. Battles being the owners and exhibitors. These animals are coal black and of large size, the cows being almost as large as the bulls. It is breed I know very little about, but if the cows give milk according to their size they must approach the double pur pose that animal Professor Thomas bhaw is In quest of. I am sorry I cannot take several col umns of rne oregonlan and go over the various herds in all of the breeds, for it is not likely such an aggregation of high-grade stock will be seen again soon, tt is true our rair is on the up grade year after year, Mr. Bishop say ing it surely is the best stock show west of the Mississippi Valley but there is a limit, and the present fair may be the high-water mark for dairy stock. Loalns Team In Game. The sophomores lost gamely and had no kicks to register. The victorious freshmen outweighed them seven pounds to the man. The freshmen averaged 152 pounds and the sopho mores 145. Members of the sophomore team were: Dale Hinkle, Martin Peterson, Arthur Hoffman. William Eliot. John Van Etten, John Koetsier. Howard Hopkirk, Roland Krause, Glenn Kleinau, Horace Williston. Kirk Prin- dle, Bruce Shumway, Ray Wilson, Rus sell Kelly. Lloyd Haberly. Holland Houston, Roger Chute and Calvin Hirsch, captain.

No President or Congress Ever Be fore Started Anything of Such Possibilities for Far-Reaching Mischief, Is View. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. (Special.) That "the farmer foots the bill for in creased cost of railway operation due to the Adamson bill, forced thorugh Congress by President Wilson at the demand of the railway brotherhoods. is the contention of James Wilson, ex Secretary of Agriculture. Ex-Secretary Wilson says: "Much Is being said these days re garding increased pay for railway men. Four of the railway brotherhoods went to the Chief Executive and demanded 10 hours" pay for eight hours' work, fixing a day in the immediate future when they would strike and tie up the business of the country if their de mands were not complied with. This the kernel of the proposition helng discussed throughout the length and breadth of the land. We hear from some sources that the movement was to fix eight hours for day's work on the railways, but others worthy of credence assure us that the proposal was merely one to get more pay for fewer hours. Fanner Pays Generoualy. "The farmer pays hta help generously and. if It is ascertained after careful and full inquiry that labor on railways is underpaid, he wouU consent to pay his share of increase, or, if the roeas ures agitating the country for the pur pose of equalizing salaries and adding something for those receiving now too little to support themselves and ram Hies as Americans should live, the farmers would be content. This is not what seems to be In the minds of the movers of thin disturbing question. It is the higher classes: the best-paid railway men who are threat cning. not those who are paid very moderate wages, but the operators whose pay runs up to and over 1200 a month. Eight hours a day may be long enough for thone engaged in some lines of exacting work. Should this number of hours be comfortable in all occupa tions, the farm included, the prices of food would rise still higher than those current at the present time. nere will the money come from to pay these increases? The railways get money from the shippers. Artlon la AntaRonlatic. "The farmers are unable to restrict their labor to eight hours a day, and are obliged to sell the product of their labor at prices affixed by the ordinary Influences of supply and demand. It is entirely antagonistic to their inter ests to allow a small group of men em ployed by the railways to fix their pay for carrying the produce of the country at the cost of the producer and con sumers. The farmers as a class have maintained that the owners of the railways must not be allowed to make a monopoly of carrying, but must per mit their charges to be supervised by public authority. "They will no more submit to arbi trary action at the hands of the em ployes than at the hands of the man- "This controversy is not new. It has been in the public mind for half a cen tury.
