Salem, Sept. 21 With nearly 20,000 people on the grounds, all at tendance records at tho Orgeon State Fair were surpassed today. Tomor row will be Portland day and It Is expected that this record will bo ex celled, for it is reported that five trainloads from Portland have al ready bought tickets. This was Sa 4om day and the perfect autumnal weather, together with the closing of nil business houses, brought the larg est possible attendance from this city and tho surrounding country. Bar ometers here predict a porfect day tomorrow and with the fair the most attractive over held In the west, there Is assurance that an immense crowd of visitors will bo well entertained. Though tho races were tho chief features of the fair today, tho live stock judging occupied tho attention of large crowds of admirers of both 'horses and cattle. Judging draft horses took most of the day. A very gratifying and noteworthy fact In connection with tho awards is that the champion Percheron stallion is American bred, and won in a contest with eight Imported competitors. Tho champion had a very close rival in an Oregon bred stallion, Moso, owned by E. L. Martin of Turner. Tho champion is Volcoo, owned by Kincald and Rickel of Eugeno. Theso animals aro in tho class known as 3-year-old and over. Tho first premium for 2-year-old Ferchoron stallions wont to Dupont, nn Oregron bred animal, owned by D. M. Dryden, whllo tho first prize for yearling wont to Regulation, also Oregon bred and owned by Gordon and Sons. Tho grand champion Clydesdale mare contest was won by Cosmo, an Oregon bred animal, owned by John Painter of Salem. Royal McQueen, owned by Gordon and Sons, won the grand champion ship for Clydesdale stallions, but Is not Oregon bred. Record for Oregon. Tho romarkablo record mado by Oregron bred animals today wns tho subject of comment by tho judge of horses, Professor Cnrlylo of tho Colo rado experiment station, when ho de livered an address this evening be foro the Oregon Livestock Breeders' association. Mr. Cnrlylo Bald that ho judged tho horses at tho Oregon State Pair five years ago and that today ho passed upon two horses that woro worth as much us all tho horses en tered at tho fair flvo years ago. Ho mado tho awards today without knowing tho animals or tho pluco of their birth. After ho mndo tho awards ho learned that a numbor of them woro Oregon bred nnd this, In view of tho largo number of foreign bred competitors, led him to warn tho livestock mon against Importa tion. Oregon Horses Superior. Ho said that very frequently tho foreign breeder will work off his do fcctlvo stock on tho importer. Ex porionco has shown that wo havo hero tho cllmnto and grass that make an Ideal etock raising country, and thero is no reason why wo Bhould go abroad for many brooding animals. Speaking particularly of Clydesdales, Professor Carlylo said that Oregon hrod horses have no bony defects nnd that ho could not say of tho horses ho has seen In eastern stato fairs, nnd ho haB attended them all. In sire, form and fiber the Oregon horse South Norwalk, Conn., Sept. 23. Dr. Walter J. Strohmeyer, of New York, and erstwhile skipper of the little skipjack Sheverll, will claim as his bride today Miss Anita J.

Intense excitement prevailed among the thousands who witnessed the con test and many of the women show ered embraces upon tho victorious Captain as he stepped from his yacht onto the club house float. The brlde clect was one of the foremost to greet him and the happy romance quickly developed after the event. Notice.

Thero Is an urgent demand In Marshfield for homes nnd every day Secretary Lyon, of the Chamber of Commerco, receives letters of in quiry about tho opportunity for ob taining living rooms and homes in caso people from away come here. Tho best ho can tell them is that there are many houses bolng erected and there is hopo tho incoming peo plo can be provided. But ho says it with his fingers crossed, since it is well know tho scarcity of houses is great. There is a disposition on the part of tho Chamber of Commerce to make somo Arrangements for tho building of moro homes nnd guaran tee tho Investors that thero will bo ronters supplied for tho residences. But this should scarcely bo neces sary, slnco everybody who lives in Mnrshflohl understands tho situation and is well aware that If thero wero n hundred homes ready for ronters thero would not bo a vacant place in tho city.

A thousand angry and disappointed people wero turned back at Union depot when the last section of the Southern Pacific excursion train to tho state fair pulled out at 9 o'clock this morning. Portland wanted to go to Salem, but it could not. A huge crowd surged against the gates and clamored for admission to the train yards, and employes of tho railroad company were busy keeping the peo ple back. Families were separated in the jam and many a bright pros pect for a happy excursion day was blighted by tho failure of the com pany to furnish equipment. The Southern Pacific company failed miserably to do Its part in making Portland day at tho state fair tho big event that was planned. It disappointed hundreds of people. In tho plain, expressive vernacular, it fell down it didn't deliver the goods. From the standpoint of a railroad operating enterprise tho ex cursion was a fizzle. Portland did Its share, but the Southern Pacific couldn't look tho situation squarely In the face, although the company had been forewarned of tho rush. When tho call came to make Port land day at tho state fair the big gest event of tho season many Port landers cheerfully gave up their time and money and willingly sacri ficed convenience and business to make Portland look big and show tho people of the state at largo that it is glad to do its share to sustain a great public enterprise like tho stato fair. Fully 2500 tickets wero sold, but between COO and 1000 peoplo didn't get on tho train, which went out in three sections. Tho first regular train wont out at S:15, a second spe cial followed shortly and at 9 o'clock tho last special pulled out, loaded to tho guards, while hundreds filed back homo onraged over tho wholo affair. California Will Have K.celient Ser vice Which Many Kuster States Now Knji.y. New York, Sept. 23. All ques tions as to the immediate execution of the Southern Pacific's plans to electrify its trans-Bay lines east of San Franisco has been disponed of by the closing of contracts aggre gating between $800,000 and $9 00, 000 for the Fruitvale power house. This central station will serve the Oakland, Berkeley, Alameda and Fruitvale lines besides making pro vision for future needs. Including the expenditures for sub-stations and overhead work, tho cost of carrying out these plans is in the neighbor hood of ?2, 000, 000. The contracts were let In New York by Mr. A. H. Babcock, electric al engineers of the Southern Pacific company. The Parker Boiler com pany of Philadelphia received the order for boilers, H. R. Worthlngton for condensers and steam auxiliar ies; the Westinghouse Machine com pany for tho turbines and gener ators, and tho General Electric com pany for motors and other car equipment. The Alameda lines will be first transformed to electrical traction; then will follow the lines that serve Oaklaud, Berkeley and Fruitvale. By erecting Its own power house at the latter point, tho company counts upon generating power even cheaper than it can be bought from the electric transmission lines running from tho Sierra Nevada Mountains. Cars will bo run in solid trains with Marshfield, Oregon, Sept, 18, 1907, lo whom it may concern: Born in Ireland and raised in Indian Territory, I learned the alphabet after I was twenty-four years of age, One year ago, I enrolled in the I, C, S, Course in Steam Engineering, but found that it would be necessary to first study penmanship, which I did, The instruction papers were so simple and clear and the special instruction so good that I have already mas tered over 1,000 pages of technical work on steam engi neering and received markings of 94 to 99 per cent on the following-subjects: Heat and Steam.

COOS BAY PEOPLE FIND GOOD FISHING Sunday saw crowds of peoplo at tho lower end of tho Bay and tho launches wero filled with peoplo who woro out to nnglo for salmon nnd trout.

Prof. Reynolds nnd his company of entertainers commence a series of freo open air funny entertainments tonight near Lockhart grocery store. Fun every night this week. Nothing to sell. Ladleo invited. an electric motor at each end of the trains, the power being delivered from an overhead trolley. Although seating eighty persons theso cars are so designed that they can dis charge a full quota of passengers In a minute and a half. A system of elevated tracks Is planned for the purpose of enabling the passengers to reach the uppor decks of the ferry steamers. Tho Oakland mole has already been ma terially widened and provided with overhead tracks and trains to facili tate rapid handling of trainee. Tho Alameda mole will bo dovoted exclusively to suburban travel, aud tho new electric lines now -provided for will bo equipped for high speed and comfort. Oakland and Berk- oley trains are served from Oakland mole, which Is able not only to take caro of this tralllc, but also to re celvo overland and other trains. This costly conversion of steam rail ways into electric linos Is now under way, made necessary by the great Jn- creaso'in travel across San Francisco Bay. Tho normal growth of this trafllc was greatly accelerated by tho San Francisco dlsastor, many who wore then forced to movo to tho eastern shore of tho Bay still re maining there. Before tho fire of last year the Southern Pacific ferries carried about a million passengers a month. Slnco then this trafllc has doubled, keeping aboTe the two Arithmetic (five papers). Mensuration. Machine Elements. Principles of Mechanics. Mechanics of Fluids. Strength of Materials. If any persons are skeptical about the merits of the International Correspondence Schools, or doubt the truth of stories of success that come from distant places, I should like to talk to them and show them my first work compared to later work that they may judge for them selves, Seeing is believing, I feel that my course has already opened the future to me, although J have only begun my studies, If this let ter should assist some one else to find the light that I found, it will serve its purpose, Very truly, R, E, PINEGOR, Engineer Coos Bay Ice & Cold Storage Co.

Theso new ferry steamers aro being built to accommodate tho con stantly increasing travel over these lines. Slnco this ferry system was established 300,000,000 passengers have crossed San Francisco Bay, of whom only threo havo been killed, or one out of ovcry hundred million. Tho fullest confidence of tho Southern Pacific In tho continued growth of San Francisco and tho Bay is evidenced in its electrification plans, involving tho expenditure of millions not only to improve tho prosont service but to keep abreast of growing transportation demands. A New Business. Professor Geo. Plumb has painted and fitted up tho building next to the Royal Bakery on A street. SCHOOLS OPEN WITH LARGE ATTENDANCE School oponed yesterday with a total erollmont or 411, an increase over last year of fifty.
