EASTERN INTERESTS
FIGHT CANAL BILL
Pressure Is Being Brought to
Bear on President Taft by
New York for Veto.
PROMPT ACTION REQUIRED
Wires to Congressmen and Friends
In Washington to Counteract
Prejudicial Effect Urged on
.411 Business Men.
Following receipt in Portland yester
day of Information from Washington
that tremendous pressure la being
brought to bear on President Taft to
veto the Panama Canal bill, commercial
bodies and shippers throughout the
states of Oregon and Washington were
advised of the critical situation and
are being importuned to urge Congress
men and friends in Washington to
combat the antagonism to the bill
that comes chiefly from New York.
As perfected in the conference com
mittee of the Senate and House, it is
believed the bill will pass, but In the
meantime the New York press is "set
ting up a howl against treaty viola
tions," according to a telegram re
ceived yesterday by J. N. Teal, chair
man of the transportation committee of
the Chamber of Commerce.
"It is recalled that the President in
a message to Congress over a year ago
recommended the inhibition of railroad
owned vessels from using the canal,"
said a member of the Chamber of Com
merce yesterday.
Opponents Work Overtime.
"If the President departs from his
position, it will be a surprising change.
Mr. Taft has maintained consistently
and continuously that the Government
had the right to authorize the passage
of American coastwise ships free. He
has gone further and maintained that
If we choose to rebate tolls on Ameri
can ships engaged in foreign commerce.
We have a right to do so.
"The fight on Panama Canal legisla
tion that would secure the purposes for
which the canal is being built has been
long and bitter. Great Interests have
been busy continuously to minimize the
benefits of the canal.
"This is the first time in the history
of our country that the people have
had the opportunity to break the
strangle hold on both rail and water
transportation and to secure real water
competition conditions. In view of the
fact that the opponents of the bill are
bringing every ounce of pressure they
can to bear on the President to veto
the bill, every commercial and business
organization as well as Individuals who
have the interests of the state at heart
should at once wire President Taft
asking him to sign the bill. They
Bhould urge him to do so in the strong
est terms.
West Badly I'sed.
"Only, in this way will It be possible
to offset the efforts of the railroads
and allied interests In New York. It
Is not surprising that-the West should
be embittered against the . East, for
apparently the only use big Eastern in
terests have for the West is to milk it
for their benefit. It is time that we
were declaring our Independence, of this
domination. About the only use we
appear to serve Is to furnish revenue
for New York City, and now when a
bill is about to pass which everyone
can see is of the greatest benefit to
the Pacific Coast, New Yorkers of a cer
tain type, together with the subsidized
press, seek to prevent relief."

the blind. The word of the coach
must be final. He must be supreme in
casting the parts, regardless of the
wishes of the people. Every amateur
actor thinks ho is an Ideal Romeo.
Every stage-struck girl wants to start

on the stage, and discipline must be
rigid. The actor or ball player who
goes after an Individual record is use
less. Ty Cobb may lead in batting or

Is out of the race for the pennant.
There are too many Ty Cobbs among
professional actors.
"Making the professional coach the
arbiter In everything connected with
the production of plays also eliminates
personal piques and jealousies. All the
details of amateur stage production
should be attempted as carefully as if
the company was professional. Amateur
theatricals are intended to - furnish
both amusement and Improvement. The
people taking part should always bear
in mind that they will obtain and pro

serious, business-like manner.
Commercialism Is Abhorred.
"Amateur performances should not
be given for financial gain. The work
should be kept out of the field of com
mercialism. Of course,'there are times
when a performance may properly be
given for charity.
"In the selection of plays, there is
a chance for considerable latitude.
Under the rigid copyright laws, modern,
up-to-date dramatic successes are fully
protected, and the royalties are heavy;
but there are plenty of good, standard
comedies, dramas, farces and melo
dramas, ranging from Sardou's "A Scrap

Silver King," tljat are free to amateurs.
The printed play books can be bought
for 15 cents a copy.
"Amateurs should steer clear of

toward tragedy as steel is attracted by

Acting- Looks Easy.

who sit out in front. Many a chocolate

WEST BLOCKS PAROLE PLAN
Governor Won't Listen to Petition
for Toledo Man.
SALEM, Or., Aug. 17. (Special.)
Efforts to secure a petition asking for
the pardon of Gust Olsen of Toledo,
who has been given a jail sentence for
selling liquor to Indians will prove fu
tile as Governor West today tele
graphed to Toledo that he would con
sider no petitions, no matter how many
were sent to him, and that he would
consider no pardon for Olsen.
It is said that Olsen conducted a
livery stable at Toledo and for sev
eral years has been selling liquor to
the Indians, but It was only recently
that they succeeded In convicting him
of the offense. The Governor makes
these assertions and in the light of
this Information he will grant no
clemency.
It Is also probable that any who are
convicted of bootlegging will find that
no executive clemency will be granted
in their cases. The Governor has Is
sued a proclamation offering $100 re
ward for the arrest and conviction of
this class of law violators and there
will be no pardons for any of them.

Beekeepers of Eastern Oregon have

Oregon beekeepers to attempt to com

claim that the Oregon Short Line
places the blame with the O.-W. R. &
N. for the high rate and that the
O.-W. R. & N. in turn attributes it
to the Oregon Short line. The Railroad
Commission will take the matter up
with the railroads concerned.

Prominent Place at State Fair.
Electrical and Jlechanlcal Ef

Probably no exhibit at the Salem
State Fair will attract more attention
than a cyclorama of the Willamette
Valley, now being painted in a special
wing of the exhibit hall at the fair
grounds. This will show the whole
valley in miniature, and six counties
will be spread before the spectator.
Those who have seen the work in
preparation are enthusiastic about it
and predict that it will make a great
Impression on visitors. During the last
two years a small view of Salem and
vicinity has been on view at the State
Fair, but the work this year is really
a great electric cyclorama, and it is
being so well worked out that It will
be a work of art.
The Salem Board of Trade and Mar
ion County are producing the cyclo
rama, but the picture is not confined
by any means to the county. It in
cludes Marion. Polk, Benton, Linn.
Yamhill and Clackamas counties and
the cities of Salem, Woodburn, Ger

So geographically correct Is the
painting that every village and hamlet
in the landscape is shown, and farms
and orchards can be recognized. Even
the color of buildings is reproduced
and visitors will be able to pick out
their own homes. All the painting Is
done In oils in the natural colors.
The cyclorama was designed and is

MAYOR OF TENTED CITY
AT STATE FAIR TALKS
Albert Tozier, for 11 Seasons General Factotum at Oregon'B Annual Expo

9JT.EW Or., auc. 17. (Special.)
Back on the Job which has become so
closely linued with his name as to be
almnt Interchangeable. Albert Tozier.
Mayor of the tented city at the Ore
gon Btate r airgrounos, is agaip uj
to supervise the affairs for the camp

position which he has held for 11 sea
sons. Only two state fairs have been
missed by Mr. Tozier.
Mr. Tozier was elected superin
tendent of the camping grounds when
but 17 years of age, and after serving

the tented city ever since. He is ac
quainted with hundreds of families who
come yearly to camp and probably 100
who have either located elsewhere or
who are dead. So familiar has Mr.
Tozier become with the State Fair
camping grounds that he is able to se
lect sites for campers without refer
ring to a chart or plat of any kind.
He remembers where John Smith held
forth the last year and whether or not
he desired the same place the year fol

the Mayor, can point out the exact
spot where old pioneer families camped
years ago and can, without hesitation

1911 lair.
Fair Feature Dlscnsaed.
In discussing the several features of
his tented municipality, Mr. Tozier
says:
"The name of the organization
sponsor for the annual State Fair is
the Oregon State Board of Agriculture,
and, as the name indicates. It is given
particularly for those engaged in or
Interested In the fruits of the soil. In
order to encourage the agriculturist,
premiums are offered for exhibits.
Barns are furnished In which to house
the livestock offered for exhibition
purposes, and to further induce the
farmer to attend this great show and
bring the entire family in order that
the members thereof may become pu
pils In this wonderful school the trans
portation companies give reduced rates
to and from the grounds, and for the
further benefit of those who would
prefer to come by team limited shed
room is provided free to them. Should
it be the wish to bring along the fam
ily cow, this friend of the household
is provided with free shelter.
"Further, those who like an outdoor
outing or living next to nature are
allotted space upon which to pitch a
tent or construct a cottage. No charge
Is made for the use of this space. The
campgrounds are between the Southern
Pacific Railroad station and the main
entrance and are lighted at night wit.1
electricity in place of the old-time
bonfires and log heaps.
"The head of the household who
feels that it is inconvenient or too
expensive to take the family to a ho
tel for the entire week of the fair, by
having a tent, can practically and com
fortably live at home right at the en
trance of the fairgrounds; live among
neighbors, friends and relatives; live
over gain the happy outing days of
youth; live in the finest oak grove to
be found anywhere on earth; live in a
well-regulated city and at the same
time be in the country; live next to na
ture and nature's god.
System Is Perfect.
"The' streets being named and num
bered as in any city and a directory
posted each day for the convenience
of all, it is an easy matter to be in
direct communication with the outside
world, and visitors to the grounds for
an hour or a day can easily seek out
friends and make a short call. The
campground is the very heart and lungs
of the fair. Without it the attendance
would be uncertain and the crowds at
times small. Blot out the camping fea
tureand It Is a feature as was done
some years ago, and the fair loses its
hold upon the people. It loses Its life.
With several thousand people in camp
be shown first at the State Fair, and
It is probable it will be a feature or
Oregon's state exhibit at the Chicago
Land Show and possibly also at the
Northwest Products Exposition at Min
neapolis. Both of these shows come in
November. It Is thought that nothing
else will so attractively show Oregon's
great valley to intending settlers as
will this painting.
Real Water Tumbles Over Falls.
One looking at this picture, and it
seems to be more than a picture and
more like a real reproduction on a
smaller scale, will apparently be stand
ing on the high foothills of the Cascade
Range In the eastern part of Marion
County. Silver Creek falls are nearby
and will be shown, with real water fall
ing over a cliff and simulating this
beautiful waterfall. The spectator will
lean on a moss-covered rail fence and
look across a canyon onto the beauti
ful Willamette Valley.
Farms, orchards, forest trees and
rivers are spread before one in a most
realistic fashion. The appearance of
distance has been contrived surpris
ingly well and the far hills look to be
reallv 50 miles away. The whole scene
is surprisingly well done and one is
forced to exclaim at the remarkable
perfection of the picture.
A. complicated switchboard has been
built, so that any lighting effect may
be secured. Sunrise and sunset, noon
and night will be shown. Moonlight
effects are now being perfected. Mists
will rise and fall over the landscape.
Trains Propelled by Motors..
Trains will run along the Southern
Pacific and Oregon Electric lines and
autos will glide over the highways. A
steamer will make the trip up the wil
lamette to Salem. The whole will be
so realistic that one may well Imagine
himself looking on the actual valley.
naturally one of the most beautiful pic
tures in the world.
Professor Screiber has given remark
ably close attention to detail to get
such wonderful results. He has made
frequent trips to the various points
shown and sketched It all out in aetau.
Small drawings were replaced by oth
ers In color and then they are painted
on a large scale in their proper relation
to each other. This involves a world
of work, but the Undertaking is now
well along and is expected to be com
pleted In two weeks.
It is the belief of the artist that such
a panorama is only a large for.m of a
nicture and can be made as pure art
as a small canvas. The high character
of the work Is such tnat one wno sees
his painting will confirm his opinion.
Mechanics Play Big Part.
Mechanics play an Important part in
th nroduction. Electric motors will
puump water for the waterfalls, as well
as drive the trains. The streams will
be bordered with real rocks and moss
and it will be difficult to tell what Is
real and what Is make-believe,
A. F. Hofer, secretary of the Salem
Board of Trade, believes this cyclorama
will prove a great drawing card for
Oregon. "We believed It wouia auver
ria nnr statu as nothing else could,'
said he. "It should be understood.
however, that while the Board of Trade
and Marion County are having the pic
ture made, it will embrace much more
territory and is, in fact, a reproduction
of practically the whole Willamette
Valley.
"The artist is achieving wonders Imi
tating nature so closely In painting the
valley landscape. Probably nowhere
else could he find such a great subject
for his brush. He Is making a re
markable picture in showing the Wil
lamette Valley as It is."
the management is certain or a daily
attendance equal to the population of
the tented city. Each and every camp
entertains from one to a dozen per
sons who are present for only a day or
so. This is a contribution to the daily
receipts that possibly otherwise would
not be had.
"The state could well afford to erect
some memorial building in honor of
those who participated in the forma
tion of the Oregon State Board of Ag
riculture. There was George C Robins,
who was chosen to be its first presi
dent, but who became discouraged and
resigned before the first fair was held.
Simeon Francis succeeded him. Mr.
Robins died a few years ago In San
Diego. The honored first secretary
still lives In the person of John Minto,
of Salem. Joseph Magone should not
be forgotten. It was he who circu
lated the first paper to raise funds for
the fair of 1862, the first one held in
Salem.
More Stalls Needed.
"The next Legislature can well afford
to make an appropriation for the build
ing of 1000 more stalls, for the free
housing of additional horses that would
be brought to the camp grounds. To
be able to write to the farmer: 'Come
rain or shine there will be shelter for
your team,' would see as fine a dis
play of driving and team horses as
any state can boast. Five hundred ad
ditional teams In camp would be an
attraction in itself. Offer premiums to
the heaviest team in camp, to the team
coming the longest distance, to the
team bringing the most people, to the
team the greatest number of times in
camp, to the one bringing the heaviest
couple, to the one hauling the most
children to camp, etc The camp ground
show of teams would be an advertise
ment in itself, and a feature that would
be known from coast to coast.
"Of late years, and under the pres
ent management especially, there Is
a disposition to better the conditions
of the camping feature. Through the
efforts of President Booth. 10 acres
were purchased and trees planted, as
well as additional stalls built for the
free accommodation of the campers'
teams. The encroachment of the stock
barns, administration and other build
ings upon the old camp ground les
sened the space for tenting purposes,
and If this feature was to be main
tained additional ground was necessary.
It is the plan of the present manage
ment to place crushed rock on the
streets of the tented city, which, when
covered with a carpet of fresh straw,
will make a pleasant dry walk.
"There was a time when such men
as former Senators James A. Nesmith,
Delazon A. Smith and John H. Mitchell,
former Governors Pennoyer, Curry,
Geer and Moody; former Representa
tives in Congress Lafayette Lane. John
Whittaker, M. C. George and Binger
Hermann; former candidate for Vice
President Joe Lane; ex-United States
Marshall Joe Meek; the first secretary
of the first Oregon State Board of Ag
riculture John Minto; Oregon's god
father. F. X. Matthieu, and hundreds
of others whose names are linked with
Oregon history, were familiar ones
among the campers at the Oregon State
Fair.
Horseshoe Game Recalled.
"It was about 1872 that Sylvester
Pennoyer won the prize of $10 for
pitching the best game of horseshoe at
the camp grounds. Courtney W. Meek,
a son of Joe Meek, won second. This
game was pitched by campflre light.
Pennoyer took J2.50 of the' money and
bought watermelons for the boys, and
most of the $7.50 was spent In buying
tickets to the shows for the little girls.
Meek used his money in paying for
rides for the children on the then pop
ular horse swing.
"In line of the race horse or running
horse controversy permit me to say
that the legislation in the several
states in the Union against running
races will cause the United States to
buy its army horse elsewhere. The
running horse Is the one that makes
the army horse. The harness horse

Grim Reaper Calls.
"Of the deaths reported among those
who were campers In 1911 are J. C
Fowle, Shaniko; BenJ. Windsor, Salem,
and Mrs. Zerlla P. Tozier, Portland.
Mr. Fowle was Mayor of Shaniko and
president of the bank there. He came
in his a.uto from his home to attend the
fair, and as he was leaving for home

came Benjamin Windsor and said to
Mrs. Tozier:
"I have never missed a State Fair.
Tell your son good-bye for me and that
I will be on hand In 1912."

all of us will be here and that a good

Tozier, who had missed only one State
Fair since it has been held in Balem,
exposed herself during the severe
weather of the last fair, in order that
the campers might be made more com

and a few day a later was rendered help
less by a second stroke, and on March
31. 1912, died from the third.
"The only birth reported to date in
any of the families camped last year Is

"John Minto, the first secretary of
the Oregon State Board of Agriculture,
has ever been a visitor to the camp
grounds, but of late years chose to not
run the risk of taking cold In case of
bad weather.

two back teeth on each side, say molars,
we can supply all the front teeth that
are missing with beautiful, serviceable,

Checks cashed at the bank showed that
he was disposing of the fish in his own
name. When arraigned in Justice
