T00PENT0M0RRQW firs? .S5 Sunny Weather Is Promised for Entire Week. " ..-' .... w Menl lz If la. tea c am LARGE CROWDS EXPECTED Salem Prepares to Welcome Out r-Toun Visitors Xight Ilorse Racing to Feature. 6ALEM. Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) The 60th annual state fair will open In Salem Monday morning under the most auspicious conditions on rec ord. With the heavy rainfall of the week just pant all moisture is well out of the atmosphere, and weather forecasters predict a week of un alloyed sunshine and September warmth. Every detail of the exhibits and displays is rapidly belnfr whipped into shape. Carpenters, exhibitors, con cesslonalres, gardener and general employes are speeding; up their activi ties, this united effort being made so that by Monday morning' every dis play and attraction may b In place, ready for the Inspection of the Ore gon public. Campers have been ar riving for a fortnight past, with the result that the state fair camp ground presents an appearance of a bustling, joyous community. Landscape Scheme BeautlfuL Entering the grounds this year, visitors will have directly ahead in their line of vision a landscape scheme of unusual beauty. All sum roer gardeners under the direction of J. W. Maruny, florist, of Salem, have been at work rearranging and dress ing up the lawns and flower beds. New and novel effects have been at tempted, with a lavish use of every flower and decorative plant that lends itself well to this climate util ized. Handsome tropical shrubs and flowers have been adapted in several of the larger plots, which, arranged with vivid borders of better-known and popular specimens form vistas of beautiful color effects. titate fair officials are predicting the largest crowds in history on the opening days. This is attributed to the fact that atendants are assured that every exhibit will be placed, and aleo to the splendid entertainment programme offered on these dates. "The racing schedule on Monday," said Secretary Lea In commenting on the programme, "will be equal in every respect to that of other days." Larger purses will be offered on Wednesday and Thursday, but the lineups on the two opening slays point to close competition and record time. Automobile polo and automo bile races will also be Stellas attrac tions on these two dates. Special Days Scheduled. Those who attend Monday and Tuesday will really have the advan tage over those who visit the fair Inter, for the exhibits and features ill allow better viewing space, and the opportunity offered, In conse quence, of more leiurely Inspection. Crowds are expected to Increase as the week grows, for every day is scheduled for some organization or group of bodies. The Portland Cham ber of Commerce is co-operating with the Rgsarlans in arranging for tre mendous crowds from the Rose City on both Tuesday, Boosters' day, and again on Thursday and Saturday, Portland and Shrlners' days. And Salem is preparing to extend the hand of welcome to all out-of-town attendants. Mayor George E. llalversom has Just Issued a procla mation to the people of Salem to hew visitors that Oregon's capital is happy to greet them, and to aid in making their stay as pleasant and comfortable as possible. He has also sent out sn edict requesting every business man and) resident to dress up places of business or dwellings, clean yards and brighten surround ings generally. I'rlce Juggling for the period! of the fair was given a sound rapping during the mid-week, when 60 busi ness and) professional men assembled in the Commercial club. A resolu tion was adopted at that time which condemned any hotel manager, res taurateur, taxicab company or other concerns or Individuals that at tempted to profiteer. Hundreds of rooms snd places where baord may be obtained have been listed by the Commercial club, working together with individuals, and these may be ascertained during the week at a booth especially set apart in the lobby of the . Hotel Marion. A special system of policing the fair grounds has been arranged; wltn the Salem police being called for the first time to furnish protection for the grounds. This was brought about by the state fair grounds being In corporated1 last year. Both night and day shifts will be scheduled. Ma-lit Iforse Racing Feature. Interest grows to a high point of anticipation over both the night horse chow and night horse-racing cards. The former will begin on Tuesday night and extend over until Friday night. The night racing programme is to be Introduced for the first time at a state fair, and promises to be a big drawing card. Numerous other offerings throughout the week will make the nights long to be remem bered, both from an entertainment and an educational point of view. Increased enthusiasm is manifested on the part of our foreign-born cit izens in the exhibit which they are to make throughout the week in the educational building under the super vision of the Oregon chapters, of the Daughters of the American Revo lution. To date it is possible to an nounce the representation of the fol lowing countries: Greece, Russia, Mexico, Ireland, Belgium, Armenia, the Philippines, Finland. France, Denmark, Italy, China and Wales. Nyssa Schools Under Way. NTSSA, Or, Sept. 24. (Special.) (School began, here September 6, a large number of new soholars en rolling.

Scholars of the third, fourth and fifth grades, who have been taught in the church and Episcopal church parish hall for the past two years wing to crowded conditions In the school building, now are enjoying the rooms assigned them In the new addition. . .... , : iimi; iy - ""' ' r Xyssa Prone Shipments Heavy. NTSSA, Or, Sept. 24. (Special) Eixty carloads of fancy Italian runes have been shipped to date from twe Idanha orchards here, and ten more carloads will be shipped as ' soon as picked. About 100 acres of the 120-acre orchard have been tripped of their fruit to fill the pres. nt contract. Prunes have all been hipped fresh this year, as the drop in prices of dried fruit the past year has made it not worth while to run the fruit dryer. Ig-iasSsS I I YtSar Severe.

Huge Pile of Valuable AVhnat Ex posed to . Weather Small Containers to Replace. CONDON, Or., Sept. 24. (Special.) With a crash that could be heard all over town two-thirds of the big Farmers' Elevator company's concrete structure came tumbling to the ground at about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon. Two big cylindrical tanks collapsed. They were filled to ca pacity with 100,000 bushels of forty fold wheat, the property of Gilliam county farmers and various wheat buyers. During the early part or me aay the structure gave signs of collapse, lumps of concrete began to fall and cracks appeared in the sides, and those who were looking on thought it about time to stand from under. Then came the end. and such a lot of wheat in one pile was never before seen exposed to the elements in tnis town or any other. In the matter of loss of grain it ill not be so bad as at first esti mated and at the most will not ex ceed 15 to 20 per cent, perhaps not so much, but when It Is considered inai the wheat now in the pile represents a money value or iuu,u, or mer abouts, the loss as a. whole will be very considerable. It Is said to be the intention or tne elevator company to install some seiall elevators which can be had from local farmers and load the wheat into cars and have it shipped direct to Portland, where it can be recleaned if necessary. It is hoped that the O.-W. R & N. company will come to the rescue and provide cars. The only danger now is that it may rain, as it is late enough for the fall rains. A meeting of the Farmers' Elevator company was held last night, and the wheat will be handled as quickly as possible. The loss to the company will be $50,000 for the structure alone, be sides the loss to it in grain, as all the stockholders had their wheat in the elevator, some owning as much as 20.000 bushels and some having even more than that. It is a calam ity somewhat relieved by the fact that there was no loss of life. NYSSA HARVESTS APPLES Packing Plant Is Busy and Crop Is Generally Good. NYSSA, Or., Sept 24. Apple crops are. now being picked at the local orchards here and the Nyssa packing house opened up Monday with a full crew, about 30 persons being em ployed. Jonathan apples, the first to be ready for shipment, were reported not to be as heavy a crop in most or chards as last year, although Rome Beauties were said to be more plen tiful. A few of the Apple valley or chards reported that the crop of Winesaps was lighter and in other or chards the trees are loaded with fruit. Plenty of help was reported to handle the local crop. GOLD MIPJING RESUMED Placer Diggings Near Gold Hill to Operate on Big Scale. GOLD HILL. Or, Sept. 24. (Spe cial.) With the approach of the placer season or the mining of gold amt platinum, the mines, both large and small, in this region are prepar ing to resume the coming season and restore the pre-war scale of produc tion of placer gold and greatly In crease the production of platinum in the diggings. During the general idleness in the placer diggings since 1914, due to the war conditions, the scarcity and high price of mln labor and equipment, much valuable "equipment, flumes, ditches and diverting works have gone to decay, which will requir large sums of money to restore. But. with a general resumption of quarts gold mining in this region, the placer operators feel that they will be Justi fied in making the outlay in resum ing. The Red Oak group of gold quarts mines, three miles out from Gold Hill, and an old-time producer which has been idle for a number of years, has been leased with an option by its owners to Lou Compton of Med ford.

In Doctors Cannot Agree on Water; Controversy On. Experts ITsve Variety of Ideas as to The Dalles Supply. THE DALLES, Or, Sept 24. (Spe cial.) When doctors disagree, what generally happens to the pa tient? This is the question that is being asked by residents of The Dalles, as a result of a controversy now raging here between the city water commis sion, the city health office and the state board of health, as to whether or not the city's water supply is pure. Dr. Fred Thompson, city health of ficer, recently sent a number of sam ples of water taken from faucets in the city to the state board of health for analysis, in view of the fact that an unusually large number of cases of typhoid have been treated here this summer. After an analysis, .the board of health wrote back saying that the ex amination had disclosed the presence of bacteria and colon bacilli in greater numbers than is safe, and advised that the residents of The Dalles boll their drinking water. The state board of health also communicated its find ings to the United States public health service, .with the result that a placard stating that "this water la unfit to drink" was placed over the public drinking fountain in the rail road station here. The next move was made by the city water commission. It took sam ples of water from the city reser voir and from the headwaters of Mill creek, from whence the city water is obtained, and sent them to Dr. E. F. Pernot bacteriologist of Portland, for analysis. No samples were taken from faucets in the city, however. In Dr. Pernot's report on his analy sis, received by the water commission Thursday, the water is declared free from contamination and fit for nor mal use. Further samples of the water, this time from faucets In the city, are being sent to Dr. Pernot for analysis. In the meantime, however, the major ity of homes in The Dalles are fol lowing the banner of the state board of health and drinking boiled water. St. Helena Orders Street Work. ST. HELENS, Or Sept 24.

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL LEGE. Corvallis, Sept 24. (Special.) "Americans are especially welcome In Germany these days," says Dr. Frank A. Magruder, of the department of political science, who is back in Cor vallis after a three-months' tour through France, Italy, Germany, Hol land, Switzerland and England.
