Longfellow Said:
"Many men do not al
low their purposes to
take root, but pull
them up every now
and then, as children
do flowers they have
planted, to see If they
are growing." .
To "stop advertising" beforo
your purpose Is accomplished
or to advertise "now and
then" Is to "pull up" your
enterprise or venture by the
roots before It has had a
chance to really grow and
prosper.
Is superior. The livestock awards
will bo completed tomorrow. The
Oregon Livestock Breeders' associa
tion this evening elected Richard
Scott, president; George Chandler

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. W1I1
scott, and all because ho was fortu
nate enough to pilot his gallant craft
to victory through an exciting race
held here some three weeks ago.
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.

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

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.

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

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.
Types of Steam Boilers.

woro out to nnglo for salmon nnd

good succoss and somo returned with
as many ns a dozon fine salmon.

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

I feel that my course has already opened the future
