Editor Leader: We are glad to note that "Uncle Jack" Oglesby, who lias been working t force of men on the Alsea-Fall Creek wagOD road, has com pleted Lincoln county's part of said road. It is now up to Benton county to open their part aud this long-Deeded public highway will be ready for use. There is about 1J miles of grading to do yet. The logs and brush are all cut out. It is estimated that $250 will complete It and we believe the Court has the mutter of the necessary approp riation under consideration. The amount should be appropriated and a contraot let, as we understand there are parties offering to take the job at that price. A. L. Clark. Alsea, Oregon, Aug. 18, 1905.

The young ladies went to Siietz Monday, County Displays a Credit to Oregon. Portland, Oregon, has proven to the world, or at least to that generous part of the world which is visiting the Lewis and Clark Exposition this summer, that the hostess state has agricultural resources which place it in the front rank of commonwealths that are de pendent for their wealth on the rich ness of the soil. The exhibits made by the state of Oregon as a whole, and by a large proportion of the several counties in the state, in the Palace of Agriculture and Horticulture at the Western World's Fair, are uniformly excellent, and the products displayed are in themselves so remarkable, and are so tastefully and advantageously arranged, that the effect js decidedly pleasing. A majority of the people who visit the big fair are interested in the country whose progress it exempli fies, and all have admired the showing which the various counties have made. A i natural, Ore;on occupies the commanding position in the Agricul ture and Horticulture building, the grain and forage crop displays being arranged about, a central pyramid, which towers toward the lofty dome that crowns the huildiDg. The pyra mid contains a representative showing, and has been much admired. Ceres, the goddess of grains, done in staff, occupies the top of the lofty pedestal. The fruit showing made by the state occupies a large space just north of the pyramid. The fruit is displayed in almost prodigal abundance, for the most part on plates, and the display interests every one. Southern Oregon, and Wasco and Marion counties have contributed luscious peaches. There are plums aud prunes from Marion oounty, strawberries from Clatsop and Ashland, and nectarines from Uma tilla. Cove, Union county, has sent some beautiful cherries, and there are Bartlett pears from Jaokson county, prunes from Polk, red Astrakhan apples from Columbia, two' branches heavily loaded with prunes from . Russellville, and apples from all parts of the state that were collected last year and pre served by cold storage. The county displays occupy most of the west half of the Palace of Agricul ture and Horticulture. Harney county's display is the one first encountered on entering the building from the south, and a big mounted elk constitutes the most striking feature. Harney has gathered a display that attracts much interest. There are many stuffed birds and animals, in the cases which line the walls, all killed and mounted since the middle of last February. A long show-case of curios and Indian relics is an attractive feature. Some fruits, both fresh and preserved, are shown, but no effort has been made to gather a display representative of the county's resources. New wheat aud grasses seven feet high, big potatoes, luscious red apples, walnuts, cherries, currents, a host of vegetables, bnilding stone, mineral soap these all are exhibited in Colum bia county's booth as evidence of the varied resources of the cotinty. Lincoln county, whose booth is next to that of Columbia, bIiows rock oysters and other sea food in great variety, onions and turnips and other vege tables, woods both in the natural state and as they come from O. R. Altree's mill at Toledo, and some very flue fleeces. The grain exhibit is good, especially the showing of oats, and the grass and clover display is first class. Marion county occupies a large space with a most attractive display. The hop industry is illustrated by a hop bale, and the insertion of a piece of glass in one side permits visitors to see how bops look when they are ready for market. All along the front of the booth prunes are shown under glass, and some dried apples and dried pears are similarly displayed. Plums and apples and other fruit, products of the woolen mills, lap robes made from Marion county mohair, threshed grains, a pyramid of preserved fruits, an at tractive display of garden truck and a beautiful piece of maple burl are among the other attractive exhibits. Clackamas county shows the largest roll of paper ever manufactured and many smaller rolls, cloths and blankets from the Oregon City woolen mills, gold ore and nuggets from Ogle moun tain, vegetables In great variety, beau tiful peaches, blackberries and green plums, canned fruits, threshed grains, alfalfa and many other prodncts, the whole composing a most attractive dis play. Linn county's booth is in itself an exhibit of 38 kinds of wood native to the couuty. Two decorative pyramids show this year's grain in straw, and Centennial wheat more than seven feet tall is displayed. Other exhibits in clude gloves from the Brownsville glove factory, 32 varieties of new grasr.es including vetch twelve aud it half feet long aud third-crop alfalfa, an eighty pound pumpkin and many vegetables, fruits both fresh and preserved, leather from four tanneries, and products of the Brownsville woolen mill. Two tall stalks of bamboo and a dis play of figs and tobacco, with rye in the straw ten feet tall, luscious peaches, and copper and gold ores tell of the versatility of Douglas county. Mrs. E. E. Boswell of Boswull Springs has on exhibition home paintings of decided merit, and the mineral springs are ex ploited. Lane county has a big booth filled with exhibits, fruit and grain displays predominating. Wheat in tjic straw six feet night inches tall and rye eieht feet tall are striking displays, aud other exhibits include all kinds of threshed grain, wool, prunes, hops, corn, canned goods and vegetables. Benton county's booth, recently re modeled, is now one of the most attrac tive. Oats aud wheat in the straw are used effectively in panel decorations, and other products of the county are attractively displayed. A big assort ment of ores constitutes the striking feature of Josephine's exhibits, which include also marble, furniture made from woods native to the county, and a case of big nuggets that have been much admired. Yamhill lias a great variety of displays, which include good showings of bops, canned goods, fresh fruits of many kinds, honey, and dried fruits. Umatilla county has some big water melons on exhibition. The best onions seen anywhere are exhibited by Umatilla, and the other displays in elude wool, grain in the sheaf, aud a pyramid of grain in straw. A mounted deer is an attractive feature. Threshed grains under glass, arranged in attrac tive design, are a pleasing feature of Polk county's showing, which includes also a pyramid of canned fruiis and vegetables, an attractive display of potatoes aud garden truck, some big peaches, and a larire flour display. Lick of space forbids more than passing mention of the displays of the displays of the other counties, all of which, however, are of the same excel lence as those already described. Baker couuty has confined its attention principally to au excellent apple dis play. Big peaches and apples, garden truck, and a flue showing of nuggets constitute the striking features of the Jackson county booth. Fruits, grains, wool, ores and building stones, paint ings of Wallowa Lake and Fulls and Aneroid Lake, are exhibited by Wallowa county, and some tweuty-ouuee apples just received have been much admired. Twenty varieties of apples, some fine watermelons and cunteloupes, wool from seventeen big growers, flour, and threshed grain are shown by Wasco couuty. Blue stem wheat in small sacks is giveu out as a free souvenir. Some large photographs show how farming is done iu Sherman oounty, and the couuty has a representative exhibit of its resources. Apples and pears are displayed on plates by Union county, in au attractive booth, the feature of which is a pavilion in the center that is decorated by grain in the straw. A great variety of displays is shown in the Washington county booth, including big potatoes, apples us large as croquet balls, plums and cuiiued stuff, flour from several mills, squashas and garden truck. Wool, in big sacks, in baskets, and iu glass front cases, and a model of a sheep ranch are strik ing features of Morrow couuty's show ing, while Malheur shows honey, fresh fruits and vegetables, grains, alfalfa, and first-class wool from Barren valley, W.
