The state land board In about to begin iult against the state board of agriculture for the for.- closure of a mortgage against th state fair grounds for the sum of 120,000, and the question will arise at to whether or not the Oregon state fair, supported In part by appropriation! from the legle lature, and owned by the atate through warrantee deed, can be purchased by private parties. In 18SW the old Oregon Agricultural Society, under whoee ausplcee a state fair baa been held for a number of yean, went before the legislature and secured an appropriation from the gen eral funds for the payment of debt, and the act making this appropriation pro vlded that the governor should appoint a part of the managing board, the other members to be named by the old aso elation. The affairs of the board still running, behind, the sum of 111,000 was bor rowed from the state land board out of the school fund at t per cent Interest This was done on December 29, 1890, and the loan was made necessary on account of the period of hard times through which the country bad just passed. One year later the fair board was notified that the note was due, but aa there waa no fundi with which to pay, the matter was allowed to eland, until 1899, when the board found ltaelf with a depleted exchequer and 17000 additional Indebtednesa hanging over it In the form of warrants marked "Not paid for lack of funds." The legislature was again appealed tov and again made the appropriation for paying the Indebtedness, but this time required that the lands be deeded to the state. A new board of manager-, was then appointed, known as the state board of agriculture, consisting of five members, which still controls the fair. The transfer was made subject to the mortgage, so the condition now is that the state of Oregon owes the school fund the sum of 111,000 and nearly $9,- 000 additional interest The state land board has made various demands on the fair board, for the payment of thl debt, but without result, and now the land board has Instructed the attorney general to investigate the matter and ee If the mortgage can be foreclosed, and he stated yesterday that he thought proceedings would be commenced with in a short time, and unless the legisla ture Interfere and appropriates the necessary money for paying off the mortgage, the propery will have to go to the highest bidder. The property is estimated to be worth at least $30,000. . Secretary Wylle A. Moores said: "The stats board of agriculture has no funds or Income available to pay thla debt Our only source of revenue is gate re ceipts and concessions, together with the 110,000 appropriated annually by the legislature, which can be used for no other purpose than paying prem iums. The other revenues are neces sary for the payment of the expenses. The land belongs to the state and the state owes the money to the state, and except a specific appropriation be made for its payment, I don't see how it can be done."
