Choicest Stock; Premiums
and Prizes Valuable,
Gresham, Or., Sept. 16. When the
first crowds began to swarm into the
grounds of the Multnomah county fair
today at the opening of the display at
Gresham, many new things appeared
for their instruction and enjoyment. Tim
two new stock pavilions facing Main
street were filled with the choicest cat.
tie and horses, the agricultural pavilion,
remodeled to afford an unbroken view
of all the exhibits was fairly crammed
with the choicest products of the soil.
At lunch time, the new eating house,
arranged on the cafeteria style, had
about all the patronage It could well
care for.
The fair which opened today Is tho
seventh annual display held at Gresham.
The state, through the county commis
sioners, has appropriated $2500 in pre
miums and Portland merchants have
donated many special prizes Eight
granges are competing for 11200 In
prizes, the highest being $225, and the
result is a grange exhibit that occupies
a large portion of the agricultural hall.
One of the features of the fair this
year Is the display of poultry and agri
cultural products of the children. This
is a direct result of the school garden
contest movement and the school work
In poultry and animal Industries.

fair and a special delegation of east

trip by automobile. Members of the

LARKIN BALL WAS
PIONEER RESIDENT
Bonlta, 6r.t Sept. lfi. Larkln Ball, for
62 years a retldent of Washington coun
ty, died at the Good Samaritan hospital.
Portland, September 9, 1913, at the age
of 81 years. The immediate cause of
his death was a fall received two days
before. In which his hip was fractured.
At his advanced ripe, he was unable to
rally from the shock.
Mr. Ball was born In Randolph county,
Illinois, April 16, 1S32. As a young man
he emigrated to Texas, where he served
In tho campaign of 1S54 against the
Commanohe Indians. In 1XS7 he crossed
the plains to California as captain of
a wngon train for Majors Russell and
Vaddell, government contractors. In
1S68 lie tame to Oregon and on De
cember R of that year was married to
..daline Rohbins. Four years later they

agency for three years. Besides his
widow he leaves three sons. K. E. Ball

Tualatin.
NEW CHURCH
FUND
IS1
NCREASING
RAPIDLY
Amount Nears Sum Needed to
Begin Work on First ,
Methodist Edifice.
Progress in the campaign to Talse
funds to build the proposed new First
Methodist church at Twelfth and Tay
lor has reached such a point that Rev.
Benjamin Young, the pastor, declared
today he could almost "see the sunburst
of victory."
The plan of the church people is to
secure $60,000 with which to start con
struction work. Dr. Young explained
that ths church has considerable prop
erty, but this is not Immediately avail
able for turning Into cash, though It
may be drawn upon after the work has
started.
Dr. Young announced at tbie morning
church service Sunday that $30,000 had
already' been secured, 40 of the church
members having contributed It. Pledge
slips were distributed and $5000 more
was promised, with so many outstanding
slips that the pastor now believes there
will be no danger in going ahead with
the work.
Plans for the new building have al
ready been virtually adopted, and with
the raising of the $50,000 needed to be
gin construction, nothing is expected
to stand In the way of a speedy com
pletion of the new edifice.
Some talk of using the material in
the present structure for the building
of mission churches in various suburbs
has been Indulged in, though no de
cision has been reached. It Is pointed
out that a number of smaller churches
might appreciate the gift of material
as much as cash which the mother
church probably would be called upon
to contribute as the mission congrega
tions develop.

TICKET AGENT
NAMED
F, S. McFarland Is Appointed

ONCE WEALTHY MAN
KILLS WIFE AND SELF
San Francisco, Sept. 1. An inquest
m ill he held today on the bodies of Mrs.
.lohn P. Hogan, killed by her husband
yesterilay afternoon, and of the hut
band, Hogan, who afterward killed him-
K.-lf.
The linearis had been married for
twrt years, but separated sever"!
months ago. Furious at his wife's re
fusal to return to him, Hogan went to
the house, where she was staying, cut
her throat with a tshle knife and then,
hurrying to n friend's home, told what
he had done and cut his own throat
with a razor.
Mrs. Hogan's corps was found guard
ed by her pet cat "Doodle," which
fought fiercely when an attempt was
made to remove the body.
Hogan ts said to have been of a rich
Virginia family, and to have had con
siderable money once, but to have dU
slpated It. He had lately been working
as a laborer. His wife's father is Louis
Olsen, a Stella, Wash., sea captain.

Officials of the O.-W. R. & N. have
formally announced the appointee to the
city ticket agency of their road and
connecting roads in Portland. V. S. Mc
Farland, who will begin his duties to
morrow, leaves the Union depot office
and'W. A. Ross, formerly assistant gen
eral passenger agent of the Great North
ern at Seattle, will take his place.
It has been known for some time that
McFarland was to take the city ticket
agency, but the question of a successor
at the I'nion station was what held back
the formal appointment. The Union
station officials were confronted with
the problem of finding first of all a man
competent to take' care of the business,
and secondly one who would be ac
ceptable to all the roads that use the
terminal. Ijl'ls was no easy task and
much delayrjwas entailed.
Mr. McFaHand until two years ago
was employit in the I'nion Pacific of
fices in Om!a. Transferred to Port
land, he at oice took charge of the
depot office. The taking up of his new
position tomorrow marks the second an
niversary of his residence here.
For some months, Mr. Ross, who
served his railroad apprenticeship with
the Great Northern, has been employed
by the Northwestern Electric company
under W. E. Coman, himself a former
railroad man.
The new appointments are echoes of
the Union Pacific-Southern Pacific
merger dissolution. When the split was
made, C. W. Stinger, in charge of the
Joint office of the two roads In Port
land, was made city ticket agent of the
Southern Pacific and the corresponding
position with the O.-W. R. & N., Union
Pacific and Oregon Short Line was left
vacant with Earl P. Walker as acting
agent. Mr. Walker will not be dis
placed by the new arrangement.

OREGON RIFLE TEAM
Addresses by Civic and Mili

of the Day.
The Oregon rifle team, winner of hon
ors from all other stales, will be Itself

Militia.
All members of the Ad club have been
Invited to be at the depot tomorrow at
11:30k a. m. to welcome home the vlc
torloas rifle team from camp Perry,
Ohio. Concerning the rifle shooting
competitions there is an announcement
which reads:
"Tho object of these competitions Is
to promote the art of rifle shooting
among the different states of the union.
They were started in 1903 at Fort Riley,
Kan., and have, been held consecutively
until last year, When complications pre
vented their being held. Oregon sent
her first team in 1905 and thereafter
each year except 1910.
"Competing annually are the teams
from the U. S. Infantry, V. S. cavalry,
U. S. navy and U. 8. marine corps, with
their unlimited men from which to draw
and with almost unlimited time In
which to train them. So seldom does
a state team finish ahead of any of the
service teams, that It Is a common say
ing that they are in a class by them
selves. "Oregon finished ahead of two of
these teams in addition to winning over
every other state of the union. Con
sidering the resources of states like
New York with 15,000 men from which
to draw a team, or Pennsylvania with
9b00, or many more of the eastern
states, our showing is not less than
marvelous."

All heroes do not get Into the mov
ing pictures, neither do they wear Car
negie medals
But according to the facts as related
about the heroic rescue of a woman
from drowning by John McClollan, aged
21, of Green Acre farm, Yamhill coun
ty, the young man is qualified for both
distinctions.
McClellan saved the life of a woman
who had been precipitated into a lake.
She was crossing the water in a small
forry, and was sitting In a covered
buggy behind a spirited horse. The
animal became frightened and backed
the rig Into 25 feet of water. McClel
lan threw off his coat and plunged In.
The woman grew desperate in her
struggles, and came very near getting
ht-r rescuer In a death clutch. The
young man managed to break her hold,
however, and in the second attempt he
obtained the proper grip on the strug
gling woman, and managed to get her
safely to shore. The woman was ren
dered unconscious from the effects of
her experience, hut was restored to her
senses. The horse was drowned.
Young McClellan did not seem to con
sider that he had done anything remark
able, but those who witnessed his act
say that if anyone is entitled to a
medal for his'bravery, that man is Mc
Clellan. The rescuer Is employed by Richard
Chilcott
