SALEM. Or., Aug. 21. (Special.)
Providing space for the many exhibits
in the livestock and other depart
ments of this year's Btate fair, rather
than obtaining these entries, as has
been the case in previous years. Is the
problem that is facing A. H. Lea, sec
retary, and his assistants.
Every mail arriving at the secre
tary's office brings offers of more
exhibits, and already, thousands of
feet of space have been reserved.
Should these entries continue to ar
rive during the next four weeks at
the same rate as during the past
month it will be with difficulty that
accommodations are provided.
Today a letter was received from a
breeder of thoroughbred livestock in
Minnesota to the effect that he con
templated attending this year's fair
and that at least 15 sections of the
cattle sheds would be necessary to
house his herds. Similar information
has been received from California,
Washinton, Idaho, Montana and many
other states located at even a greater
distance from the Oregon capital.
Horse Show o De Better.
The night horse show, which in
years past has proved one of the
wonder events of the great fair, will
be better than ever this season. Let
ters have been received from Califor
nia. Idaho. Washington. Portland and
Canadian points indicating that horses
of renowned reputation will be pres
ent to perform in the stadium. In con
nection with this show will come the
Pacific coast's elite, who In their
natty and attractive costumes will
occupy seats of vantage. In all. the
horse show promises to be the most
brilliant event of its kind ever staged
In the west.
The race track, on which a number
of world's records have been estab
lished, is receiving the attention of
workers, and within the next week it
,' will be in readiness for the big fair.
Improvements to the horse stables
also are being made, and everything is
being put in order.
As in previous years, every depart
ment of the fair will be placed in the
hands of a cbmpetent overseer, while
the men to be selected to judge the
exhibits will have to prove their qual
ifications. "Strict fairness is our mot
to in Judging the exhibits," said Mr.
Lea today, "and everybody who ex
hibits must be satisfied."
Only recently Mr. Lea. accompanied
by J. D. Farrell and a number of
other persons interested In the suc
cess of the falr.treturned here front a
trip over southern Oregon, where they
boosted for this year's event and
urged that every locality have an ex
hibit. Doogla County to Exhibit.
Douglas county, which has not ex
hibited for several years, will have
a display this season, as will Jackson,
Linn, Lane, Klamath and Lake coun
ties. Josephine county has not yet
decided definitely, but probably will
come forward with an exhibit of min
ing products which are typical of
that wealthy section of the state.
For the entertainment of those not
Interested in livestock and other ex
hiblts there will be a great white
way. On this row will be found the
shows and concessions, all of which
are being selected with great care in
order that nothing objectionable may
get by the censors. There will be
merry-go-rounds for the youngsters
Ferris wheels, pony shows, monkeys
by the score, the old familiar cane
rack and an array of other amuse
ments.
The school exhibits will surpass all
previous years, while the industrial
clubs intend to come forth with dis
plays which will rank well with those
of their elders. As In former years
the boys' and girls' industrial club
members will occupy tents under the
shaded oaks and will be guests of the
fair management. Under the guidance
and care of the competent chaperones
these boys and girls are to have the
time of their lives.
The camping grounds, which for
half a century have been the mecci
for thousands of fair visitors, are un
dergolng their annual improvement.
and already are ready to serve th
visitors.
In the language of Secretary Lea
this year's fair will be the greatest
event of its kind in the history of th
state.

National Traffic Law Sought.
Portland will be represented at the
international convention of traffic
men t.o be held at San Francisco this
week by three delegates from the
chamber of commerce. Captain H.
A. LewJs. L. V. Jenkins and H. P.
Coffin "have been appointed to repre
sent the city and the organization.
The purpose of the convention is to
get the national viewpoint on traffic
conditions. It is planned t frame a
national motor vehicle law to be In
troduced at the next sessions of state
legislatures in an attempt to secure
uniformity.
The voters at the general election in
November must again come to the res
cue of the city government in order
that a sufficient amount of money
may be raised next year to run tne
city. A report to this effect has been
submitted to the city council by City
Auditor Funk. The statement is made
that without this aid from voters the
city will be unable to get in money"
enough to maintain its affairs.
A vear ago the city was so caugni
in the era of advanced prices for all
things entering into municipal serv
ice such as fire protection, police pro-,
tection, street cleaning, park activi
ties, public improvements, etc., that
it became necessary to submit to tne
voters a measure authorizing the
council to increase the tax levy 3
mills above the limit arbitrarily fixed
bv the city charter. .
It was agreed at that lime tnai mis
increase would be only for the present
year, although the measure as adopted
nrobably would enable tne extra levy
to cover other years. The council
thought the high-price era would be
over in time for next year and there
fore gave a pledge to the public that
the increased levy would not be used
for 1921 unless again approved by
the voters.
Members of the city council at
informal meeting yesterday decided to
live up to this pledge and ask the
voters to authorize the additional levy
again next year. A measure to this
effect will be prepared by City At
torney LaRoche for submission to the
council soon.
The extra 3 mills give the city suf
ficient revenue this year to maintain
a reasonably good service in all de
partments and to finance the street
improvement programme asked for by
property owners, but it did not permit
of money for use on Inns, ine coun
cil has decided that, while additional
money will be required for next year
on account of the number of new
narks and .the additional amount of
street maintenance, street cleaning,
fire protection and public improve
ments. the budget of appropriations
will be so trimmed that it will come
within the 3 mills. This means that
there will be no money for frills
1921, but only money, for bare mainte
nance, upkeep and operation of the
various departments on their present
basis.
The city charter provided a limit of
8 mills for a tax levy for any one
year, this limit having been fixed
many years ago. As the city grew
the levy was gradually forced up to
the limit, which point it had reached
about the time the war started.
"When the era of high prices came
and everything entering into public
service increased in cost the city was
badly- crippled financially, and ac
cordingly put the problem before the
voters and authorized a rise in the
limit. A second rise was approved a
year ago and, with no change in con
ditions, the city finds itself in the
same fix for next year and- will ask
for the same levy as for this year.

The Chickering Ampico is admittedly the
supreme reproducing piano. It plays human
like with no evidence of mechanism. So
perfectly does it reproduce the playing of
the pianist that you listen in wonder
amazement at the performance.
The very pedaling the finest shades of ex
pression are so perfect that the instrument
seems vibrant with the personality of the
pianist as you listen to the Chickering

M. (Bill) Inglis Is Here
From Washington.
STATE, IS DECLARED SURE
Sentiment for Republicans Never
Before So Strong, Asserts Can
, didate for Senator.
Colonel W. M. (Bill) Inglis, com
mander of northwestern troops abroad
during the- -war and candidate in the
state of Washington for United States
senator, r was in' Portland yesterday..
He is a delegr.te to the Elks' conven
tion at Vancouver. Colonel Inglis re
ported that in a campaign of cities
and towns of Washington he found a
sentiment for Harding and Coolidge
that overwhelms democratic en
thusiasm. "Harding and Colidge will win; the
windows of shops-and homes through
out the state bear their portraits:
the people of cities and villages alk
only of republican victory and former
democrats are coming into the party
sick and disgusted with the misman
agement of national affairs by their
leaders." are a few. of the observa
tions of Colonel Inglis.
"Washington is bound to go strong
ly for Harding and Coolidge," he said.
"There never was such sentiment for ,
republicanism in that state, so strong
and so determined. And Washington
!s but one of many states that feels
that a change is needed."
Colonel Inglis was commander of
"Washington's Own." national guard
unit, which later became the 161st in
fantry. He took command of the
109th infantry at the opening of the
Argonne battle, leading his troops
through that fight. Later he com
manded the- 30th infantry and the
4th infantry of the 3d division, regu
lars. He led the advance guard of
the 4th infantry to the Rhine "with
the army of occupation.
To his troops Colonel Inglis Is
"Colonel Bill." He has devoted con
siderable effort since his return from
war to obtaining aid for disabled sol
diers. He is running against Senator
Jones, and while expecting a stiff
fight, relies on a large soldier vote
at the election.
Among national problems today the
high cost of living is the greatest, in
the opinion of Colonel Inglis. Tax-'
'ation is a close second and on the
Pacific coast the Japanese problem
demands immediate attention, he says.
"The Japanese question must be
handled through proper legislation
and diplomatic arrangement," he de
clared. "It has passed beyond the
phase of the gentlemen's agreement."
Colonel Inglis has resided in Seattle
for 30 years. He is accompanied by
Mrs. Inglis and their daughter. He
Is a member of th Royal Arcanun,
Kagles and the Elks.
"World's Richest Reporter"
Denies Editor Interview.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr. With
Bride la on Honeymoon at Ex
pense of New York Times.
BT A REPORTER.
LIGHT may travel 1S0.000 feet per
second, but Cornelius Vanderbilt
Jr., "world's richest reporter," can't
see this business of being interviewed.
Be it known, young Mr. Vanderbilt
is with the New. York Times. And
Mr. Vanderbilt, with untold wealth, or
even unwhispered wealth, behind, with
and surrounding him, is on his honey
moon at the expense of the Times.
An editor of a Hoquiam paper
wanted to interview Mr. Vanderbilt
as. he and his bride passed through
that city, driving their car toward
Portland. Here was an editor tto in
terview a reporter and here was a
reporter who had "nothing to say for
publication."
Mr. Vanderbilt Is touring the west
and "doing special stuff" for the
Times. He has attained a reputation
as a good reporter and those in close
touch with him remarked on his re
fusal to meet the Hoquiam Dana as
a fine sample of comradeship for "the
boys. They point out that if a
rep'orter seeks an interview it is
granted, for Cornelius would allow
no reporter to return and confess
failure. But editors well, editors
must be shown that, sometimes, it is
simply impossible to get interviews.
Young Mr. Vanderbilt. while on his
honeymoon, is nevertheless a pro
digious worker and "hits the mill"
for some 20.000 words each week, de
scribing his trip through western ?
Canada and the northwestern states,",,
His wife, recent society bud of New'
lork, enthusiastic over "Corney's
prospects," cooks each of their meals
as they make camp along the high-.
ways. Her frying pans are spick and
span; the salad bowl Is fresh and
clean, the dishes white and shiny.
"Working their way along." the
couple nevertheless have the "where
withal" to gratify their wishes. Th
bride had but rapturously to admire a,
little island stuck away in Trout lake,
near Vancouver. B. C, and quick as
Jack Robinson it was hers. Mr. Van
derbilt purchased it outright, a senti
mental landmark of their honeymoon
"At Hoquiam we were trying to
dodge people," said Mr. Vanderbult.
"but a farmer's boy saw our name on '.
the luggage in the car and told his
father. His father was the brother
of an editor, and straightaway I had
notice the editor was en route to in
terview me. We packed in a hurry"
and left. I was awfully sorry to miss
him. Now, if a reporter had been
sent out ."
