STATE FAIR AT END
Most Successful Event in
History of Association.'
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.

the crop. The engine pulled to the stacks

stacks was ablaze, and, by the time the
separator was removed the fire had pro

RESIDENTS OF SOUTHEASTERN
ALASKA PETITION AGAINST IT.
Think Alexander -Reservatioa "Will

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.

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

for less than $325 oven now and make a

these instruments during the coming

for 5173, and, to make It an object for

are cabinet grand pianos in mahogany,

while we are willing to take 5204 and 5173
for them, rest assured they are in every

devote the cash funds raised, amounting to
nearly 52000, to purchase gras3 seed for

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

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

BROWX ROT IX PRUNES.
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. The California crop
