CRESHASt Or.. Sept. II. (Special.)
The weather was ail that anybody
could have wished, the crowd being
one of the largest ever attending a
Multnomah County i air. The exhibit
In practically all lines were exception
ally good and the interest in all de
partments was strong;. Altogether, the
fair, which closed today, was a triumph,
a record and report of progress for the
county.
The war, of course, had something to
do with the success of the fair this
year. The Importance of food and all
that makes for the production of food
is generally realized as It never was
before, and In all the departments of
the fair this year and in all the gather
ings of men and women for display and
discussion of things and subjects agri
cultural there was always present the
great war topic and what it all means.
Fair officials say without hesitation
that the display this year of agricul
tural producta was the best ever seen
at Gresham. and as a consequent It is
no small part that Multnomah County
this year will play at the State Fair
at Salem the coming week. In cereals
of all kinds Including corn, which only
a few years ago. it was said, could not
profitably be grown in Oregon pota
toes and all manner of vegetable crops,
fruits of all descriptions, livestock of
all classes and industrial exhibits gen
erally. Multnomah County clearly out
did all previous efforts.
Oregaa Predicts -Compared.
' In the great exhibit hall there was
wheat that -would have done credit to
the great Red River country, corn that
would vie with anything Illinois could
produce, and potatoes and other vege
table products that were unsurpassable.
In livestock there was the keenest in
terest. Thoroughbred stock was in
evidence as never before, making it
clear that In that section of Industry
Oregon is advancing. The Industrial
displays throughout were such as to
inspire pride in the achievements of
the county.
Throughout the three days exhibition
the Granges of the county manifested
the keenest Interest in the displays.
Their exhibits were on the ground floor
of the main exposition building and the
rivalry of their respective booths was
one of the interesting features of the
event. In their displays alone there
was almost a county fair, and the part
they have played makes it clear that
the Granges are a factor in the county's
progress.
In the final award for excellence of
displays Multnomah Grange won first
place, with Kairview second and Kui
' sellville third.
Sraeal Management Awake.
That the schools of the county are a
great and growing factor in the annual
county exposition was made more evi
dent this year than ever before. On
the second floor of the main building
there were the booths representing
schools In all parts of the county and
showing In detail the school work
proper of the children, together with
their industrial, art and other work,
altogether giving evidence that the
schools and the management of the
school system of the county are alive
to opportunities and responsibilities.
In all the schools of the county yortng
farmers and young Industrial workers
who some day will be captains and
masters in their lines are getting in
the groundwork of preparation now,
while girls are becoming proficient in
sewing, domestic science and a doxen
other lines of effort that will make for
general betterment In the yeara to
come.
For general excellence in booth dis
play District 4$ school won first place
in the competition with schools or five
rooms. Among the two-room schools
Lynch Was awarded first honors.
In the competition of the boys in
dustrial projects Allen Scldel. of the
i-ynrn -nooi. scorel Highest, with an
exhibit that would have been counted
creditable to any experienced farmer.
In sewing Miss Ruth Renne, of Dis
trict 4 school, carried off first honors.
As a consequence of these two awards
Toung Setdal and Miss Renne win free
trips to the Mate Fair this week, where
they will be guests of the O. A. C.
A fact of importance this year was
the interest In the fair evinred by sv
ral of the I'nrtland city schools. The
Montavilla and SunnysUle schools main
tained booths displaying genersl school
work that were distinctly creditable.
and for the first time In the history of
the fair toe Franklin and Washington
Hrgh School also were represented.

In memory of the pioneers who by
their early struggles won the North
west country, a statue now being fin
ished by A- Phlmistor Proctor, noted
Western sculptor, is to be presented to
the state of Oregon by Joseph N. Teal,
prominent Portland attorney. -
aioaeiea to represent tne spirit or me
early settlers of the West Const, the
figure is supposed to mean to the West
what "The Filgrlm" at Springfield,
Mass., means to the men who won the
Kast Coast for the white man. The
new product is to be called "The Pio
neer." The statue Is to be placed In front
of tho administration building on the
"old" campus of the University of Ore
gon at Kugene. Believing that in the
Willamette Valley is the real home of
the Oregon pioneers, Mr. Teal chose
this place for the work of art.
The product of the sculptor's labor
now Is on the way Esst. where It will
be cast In bronxe ai.d thence returned
to this state.
A fellow workman of the famous St.
Gaudens, who modeled "The Pilgrim,"
Mr. Proctor has a share in many of the
former's most famous pieces. For 20
months the statue hat been in the pro
cess of formation at the Los Altos
(Cal.), and for many months previously I
It had been discussed and planned by
Mr. Teal nad Mr. Proctor. It is ex
peoted that It will be ready for final
placing within a few months.
"The Pioneer" is of herolo size, meaa
urlng sine feet in height.
The donor of the figure- is a native
of the Northwest. His . father, also
named Joseph Teal, came West in 1849.
Mr. Tears mother came a year later.
It was principally In honor of these and
other early winners of the West that
Mr. Teal presented the statue to the
state.
Mr. Teal was born here "fefore the
war. He early won a name as a law
yer and now is known as a traffic rate
authority.

Use Coco&nut Oil
for Washing Hair
If you want to keep your hair in good
condition, be careful what you wash it
with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle and is very
harmful. Just plain mulsifled cocoanut
oil (which is pure and entirely grease
less) is much better than the most ex
pensive soap or anything; else you can
use for shampooing, as this can't pos-
Ibly Injure the. hair.
Simply moisten your hair with water
nd rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls
ill make an abundance of rich, creamy
lather, and clesnses the balr and scalp
thoroughly..The lather rinses out easily.
nd removes every particle of dust.
rt, dandruff and excessive oil. The
air dries quickly and evenly, and It
leaves it fine and silky, bright, fluffy
and easy to manage.
You can get mulsifled cocoanut oil at
most any drug store. It is very cbeap,
and a few ounces Is enough to last
everyone in th family for months.
