MUCH INTEREST MANIFESTED Exhibits and Attendance Were Tfever Better Success Means Mnch for the Future Good Procrnmme on Closing Day. 6AIE3I, Or., Sept. 20. (Special.) Ore gon's 42d annual State Fair, which closed tonight, was the most successful exposi tion In the history of the Agricultural Association. The fair was a success, not only financially, but In point of exhibits, which were representative of the dlver- Billed agricultural and horticultural In terests of the state. .Jhe dally attend ance, including the opening and closing days, t&s never larger, nor has a greater Interest been shown before in the fair by all sections of the state than was appar ent this year, both in attendance and In competition for. premium awards, which was keen in every department. The fair Is generally admitted to -have been among the most successful in every re spect of any exposition ever held on the Pacific Coast. The State Fair Board wfll not be able to give a definite statistical statement, as to the finances for a few days. But it Is known that the fair was a gratifying success financially. "While receipts were considerably augmented over previous years, the expenses of the show were cor respondingly Increased, while larger and a greater number of premiums and awards were made up from receipts of the week. However, the board intends to pay for the new buildings and improvements, ag gregating J2000, and have a small surplus. This condition is particularly gratifying to President Wehrung and Secretary Wis dom and the members of the board, who are deserving of full credit. TVhlle the weather conditions were auspicious for the fair, the management collected an exhibit and provided attractions that made the exposition worth seeing. It Is believed the success of this year's show marks a new era of increased prosperity and usefulness of the Oregon State Fair. Today was the closing day, but the show and entertainment was complete. None of the exhibits was disturbed, nor was any stock removed until late this afternoon. The race programme for the final day offered all that could be desired by lov ers of sport. The concluding programme tonight consisted of a musical entertain ment in the pavilion, including a setect programme by the Fourth Regiment Band of Eugene, and I'ocal selections by Mrs. Hallle Parrish-Hinges, the Salem song stress. The gatekeepers abandoned their post at 9 o'clock tonight, and as thejevening wore along pandemonium was introduced. Confetti In inexhaustible quantities was everywhere in evidence, and none escaped the -paper shower. It was midnight before the large crowds finally deserted the grounds. During the programme in the pavilion tonight the exhibitors of Shorthorns, Hereford's, Brown Swiss, Holstein and Jersey cattle presented Secretary M. D. Wisdom and George Gammle. superintend ent of the cattle department; with a sil ver water pitcher apd a silver water set, respectively, as a token of appreciation of their services in making this year's livestock exhibit one of the features of Oregon's greatest State Fair. The, pres entation of the gifts was made by R. Scott, of Milwaukee, and the recipients made brief responses. The Incident was a happy termination "of the fair. KEW OREGON INCORPORATIONS.

Think Alexander -Reservatioa "Will Retard Process Hitchcock Re plies It Will Aid Country. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept 20. Several protests have been received by the Secretary of Interior- against the maintenance of the Alex ander Archipelago forest reserve re cently created in Southeastern Alaska, the petitioners, residents of tho Islands, stat ing that the effect will be to .retard the progress of that section. To such com plaints the Secretary has replied that the existence of a forest reserve will not re tard but rather aid development He points out that the cutting of ma ture timber may proceed as before, but that injudicious slashing of young and un developed trees will be prohibited, as they are to be preserved for future use. He also maintains that this reserve will in no way interfere with the Industries now being prosecuted or likely to be under taken In the archipelago As yet no- officials have been appointed to assume .charge of the Alexander re serve, but In time, probably the begin ning of next season, a' full corps will be designated, as the President Is personally interested in this Acase, and has urged that adeqjate protection be thrown around this most valuable timber in Alaska. FIRES WERE OUTSIDE RESERVE. Interior Department . Pleased With System of Forest Protection. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Sept 20. A dispatch was received by the Interior Department today, stat ing that after a, heavy rain the most dam aging forest fires in Washington had been extinguished, and that further spreading was not feared. According to official ad vices, practically all damage done in Ore gon and Washington was outside of the forest reserves, a fact very gratifying to the department officials, who point to this as a demonstration of the practica bility of the present .forest reserve sys tem. In fact Inall other Western States the damages by forest fifes this year have been on unreserved land that Is practical ly without Government protection. This year's showing is to be used as an argu ment for the further extension of the re serve system already under contempla tion. , FAR JUNG IN BAKER COUNTY. Great Agricultural Possibilities by Use of Irrigation. BAKER CITY, Or.. Sept 20. (Special.) With proper facilities for irrigating the land. Baker County will in .time become one of the chief agricultural counties in the state. S. J. Culbertson, who resides on Elk Creek, has been doing some ex perimental farming this season that has met with wonderful success. Yesterday he brought into the city several samples of the grains and grasses he has grown this year. Thousend - headed corn, which makes a splendid fodder for cattle, and Is es pecially good, for cows, growB splendidly in this climate. Mr. Culbertson has dem onstrated that with very little water he can raise from 16 to 20 tons to the acre of this excellent feed. Beardless barley grows and matures well"" producing two crops with ease. If it is desired to raise it for hay, tut If allowed to mature It will produce 60 bushels to the acre of grain. As a hay crop It Is good for from elght to nine tons per acre. ' Mr. Culbertson raised this year some of the famous Twentieth Century white oats, which grew to be seven feet high, and produced 140 bushelc to the acre. These oats will grow to perfection on the farm lands of this county where it is possible to Irrigate. Russian millet grows well in this sec tion of the state. It will easily produce six tons of the very best hay to the acre, and as a seed crop It Is good for from 50 to 6Q bushels to the acre. Speltz, or Manila rice, a most excellent hog feed, grows well in this county. It Is a fine feed for hogs, better, it is claimed, than corn, and considerably less expen sive to cultivate and harvest, besides be ing quite as productive as' corn. It will, if properly cultivated, average CO bushels to the acre. The finest crop grown by Mr. Culbertson was India wheat, which produced over 90 bushels to the acre. The heads of the grain are almost as large as small ears of corn. The grain Is large and plump, mak ing an excellent grade of flour. All these' grains, and grasses have been grown this Summer, besides a lot of veg etables, thus proving beyond the reason of a doubt that Baker County is well suited to the growth of all kinds of vege tables, grains and grasses. Mr. Culbert son was fortunate In that he was able to enter a part of his specimens at the Dis trict Fair, where they were greatly ad mired by a great throng of visitors. LAKE COUNTY ASSESSMENT.

Information Is received every day con cerning many others needing assistance. The committee expects, however, to be able, with the assistance of the County Commissioners and military officials, to relieve the Immediate necessities of all needing assistance.

This action has in effect Increased the subscription funds of the committee TOMORROW IT WILL BE INTERESTING Genuine Piano Bargains A Large Number of .Fine Up rights to Be Sold This Week at Dealers Wholesale Prices. Six Dollars a Month Will Se cure Choice of Nearly Two Carloads. During this week we wish to sell something like three carloads of the very best medium-grade pianos ever shown In Portland. They were regularly sold by another retail house for 5275 and 5300 here tofore. These Instruments are greatly im proved, and better made than they were when they were sold at the above-mentioned figure heretofore. In fact, we doubt very much as to whether rt San Francisco branch store or a concern get ting its pianos from San Francisco Job bing - houses or on consignment from money brokers, could afford to sell them for less than $325 oven now and make a living prorflt But we are going to sell these instruments during the coming week for 5204 each, and the plainer styles for 5173, and, to make It an object for you to take one of them quickly, we will sell you one on payment of 510 down and 46 a month. Remember the prices, 5173 and 5204, one and the same to. all alike, no more will bo asked, no more will be ac cepted; S per cent off for all "cash, or 510 down and 56 a month, with interest on de ferred payments at 8 per cent per annum. We are sure you will not. find a single one of these planes on hand by the end of the week. Better come In at orice and pick out the one you. like best. These pianos are fully warranted. They are cabinet grand pianos in mahogany, oak and walnut, full 7 1-3 octaves, and while we are willing to take 5204 and 5173 for them, rest assured they are in every way as good and as valuable as the in struments were heretofore, when sold for 5300. It In not that xre are nelllne cheaper pianos, hat we're selling pianos cheaper., We 'have told you how in conducting four leading stores ih four leading cities under one management we save money in buying large quantities of pianos; how we save money "In shipping them without boxes, how our store rents are les3 per piano sold than any other dealer's, how, in fact, our selling expense Is less by many dollars than other dealers or agents, large or small. That's how ye can sell these olanos at these low figures, now. and still say that we are standing back of every repre sentation that our salesmen make regard ing them. "Money back If not satisfied applies to these "pianos, as well as to the highest-priced Chickerlng, and Weber and Kimball. See them early this week. Bring 510 for a first payment down, and pay the rest as suits you best. Remember the place and street numbers. Ellers Piano House, 351 Washington street, opposite Cordray's Theater. to J3300. It will enable the committee to devote the cash funds raised, amounting to nearly 52000, to purchase gras3 seed for distribution among the farmers of. the burnt district. This will satisfy to a large extent the' most pressing need of the unfortunate settlers at the present time, as the demand for seed has been even greater than for food and clothing. The loan of tents by the War Depart ment has also been of great benefit to the burnt-out farmers, and has greatly assisted the committee. The recent rain has put out the fires and removed all danger of further damage. SHEEP DYING IX LANE COUNTY. Unknown Disease Creating: Havoo Among: the Herds. ' EUGENE. Or,, Sept 20; (Special.) A disease, baffling In Its nature, is creating havoc among the sheep in some parts of the county, especially on the prairies along Coyote Creek. Several farmers have been losing sheep, and some have lost consider able numbers, and while they have an- Idea as regards the cause, they have no way of treating it The common term applied to the disease is "grubs." Many believe that the sheep are killed by a large grub, or worm, which works in the head of the sheep. It is believed the egg Is deposited In the nostrils, and then hatches out into a worm, which works upon the mem branes, causing severe Inflammation and finally death. All sheepmen are not agreed, however, and some attribute their looses to other causes, one of which Is the leechv It Is known that at this time of year It Is not uncommon for sheep to be affected by leeches, which are taken Into the system by drinking from pools of water In land where the leeches Inhabit PENITENTIARY WELL A SUCCESS. Flow of 72,000 Gallons of Water an Hour Obtained. SALEM, Sept 20. (Special.) The test of the well sunk by the state at- the Peni tentiary has been made, and the result Is quite satisfactory. The test was conducted by H, V. Gates, of Hlllsboro, in the pres ence of members of the state board. In the trial Friday afternoon water was pumped through a 4-inch pipe at the rate of 72,000 gallons every 24 hours. This Is far better than" the members of tho board expected. At a preliminary test some weeks ago, by meano-of a pump alone, only 24,000 gallons a day was pumped, but in the trial yesterday an air compressor was attached and the result was remark able. There appeared to be an abundance of water at that flow, which leads the members of the board to think that possi bly a pipe 10 Inches -in diameter might be employed and a much greater amount of water pumped from the same well. It will require but 10 wells having a capacity of 72,000 gallons each per day to supply all of the state Institutions, including the State Capitol building, and If a greater amount of water can be obtained from these wells a less number would supply all of the wants of the state for years to come. The membera of the board have not held any conference In the matter yet. and it is not known what action will be taken. The test has been made with a view of determining the feasibility of adopting this Munyon's witch-hazel Soap MAKES THE SKIN SOFT AS VELVET I want every woman who wishes to Improve her complexion who wishes to r B,n 50f ?s velvet who would like to have her face free from all skin eruptions and facial blemishes to use my Witch-Haze!

Polk Coftnty Grov&r Snys the Crop This Ye.-.r Will Be Very Light. SALEM, Sept 20. (Special.) J. . R. Shepard, the well-known orchardlst at Zena, Polk County, reports that brown rot has attacked the Italfan prunes In his neighborhood, and that a large quan tity of fruit will b lost by reason of this disease. In some Instances he .says the yield has been cut down one-half by reason of the damage done by brown rot Mr. Shepard also reports that the prune yield has been cut down considerably by the September fall of fruit, which was unusually heavy, the extra fall being at tributed to the long spell of dry weather. Prunedrylng Is now quite general In this section of the Willamette Valley. In the low lands the yield was so light that many growers did not start their dryers at all. In the hills the yield was better, and at Rosedale. south of Salem, It Is reported up to the average In quantity. Mr. ' Shepard expresses tho hope that growers will not put their prunes upon the market at the present ruinously low prices, especially since the crop Is known to be short ''Thetalk about 600 cars In the Northwest Is nonsense," 'he says, "and calculated to bear the market until prunes are out of growers inds and In the control of dealers.
