iracting wide attention, and there is
a prospect that the bidding will be
lively. The men who are putting
their stock up at auction expect to
see much of it sold at a sacrifice, but
their purpose is to create an interest
in thoroughbred stock, so that their
private sales will increase. Their be
li ef is that if a few hundred head of
thoroughbred cattle are scattered
through the farming districts fanners
will become convinced of the advan
tage of keeping that class of stock,
and will buy more.
Since it was certain that, the stock
would be sold at a sacr.fi ;e, no one
breeder would furnish all the stock
for the sale, but each of a number of
the most prominent breeders contrib
uted a few head of cattle, sheep,
goats and hogs, and whatever loss
there may be will be distributed so
that no one will feel it.
Superintendent C. A. Murphy, in
charge of the pavilion at the Fair
Grounds, is working with a force of
men decorating the building and map
ping out the space to be occupied by
the different exhibits. It is evident
that the great pavilion will be crowd
ed from end to end with products of
farm, garden, orchard and factory of
such excellence as has never been
surpassed in this state.
The State Board" of Agriculture has
secured R. L. Harriman, of Bunson,
Mo., a prominent horseman of that
state, to act as presiding judge at
the races, and Robert Leighton, of
"Vancouver, British Columbia, will act
as assistant and starter of the run
ning races. The third judge has not
. yet been chosen.
The Board of Trade display shipped
to Salem, for exhibition at the State
Fair, on yesterday demonstrates two
things viz:
First, we have as fine products as
can be produced in the United States.
Second, we have the most indiffer
ent class of people in the world.
In support of the first statement we
will say that the display of grains,
grasses, fruits and vegetables, sent to
the fair yesterday will not be excelled
by that from any county in Oregon.
It is the quantity complained of.
Every farmer, gardener and orchard
ist in Douglas County should have
been represented in this exhibit, in
some one article at least For instance
the secretary (who is not credited
with a large head) could put the en
tire prune exhibit in his hat, yet we
. pose as, and are in fact, one of the
leading prune counties of the State.
This state exhibit should have con
tained at least 1000 lbs. of prunes.
The apples, pears, and peaches
brought to the Board of Trade for
exhibition at the State Fair, was al
together too small. The agricultural
display in wheat, oats and corn, is in
the "blue ribbon class." The growths
are especially fine; but not nearly all
the varieties grown in the county are
represented.

tors to the exhibit.
