After two discouraging years because
of lack of exhibits, the honey display
tli In year Is extensive.
The educational exhibits are three
times as large as last year, according
to Superintendent -Carlton, who also

per cent larger than last year. The
school exhibits include those sent from
Portland and Salem, and the counties
of Lincoln, Jaokson, Lnne, Linn, Ben
tn. Polk. Wasco, Clackamas and Mai
nour, all of which are splendidly rep
renented. The children also have an
immense display of poultry, totalling
over 600, and a barn full' of pigs. Otto
Ilusnell. a. Polk county. boy, has estab
lished a record by raising a pig weigh
ing 2SS pounds when months old.
The extent of the exhibits is a sur
prise to the visitors who today
'thronged the various departments. De
spite "ie fact that the new oavilion
provides a great increase in space, there
is none too much. Eastern Oregon
has some very fine exhibits hero this
year and la showing more interest in
the fair than at any previous time in
its history.
One of thn mnut Ttnl a-rMhlta
of the old pavilion, which is used for
the educational department. Is that of
the Oregon Agricultural college. The
O. A. C. ras spared no effort to show
not only the scope of :ts work, but to
educate the people as to better meth
ods in growing crops of various kinds
In this state. Opposite the O. A. C.
department, but occupying much less
space, is the exhibit of the University
of Oregon which is also very com
plete and nlghly interesting and in
structive. Xasan Make Showing.
A remarkable exhibit is that of the
state hospital for the insane, snowing
as it does what efficient teachers can
accomplish with patients. Linen of
the finest weave has been turned out
by the Inmates and it is on display.
Though none of the patients could
weave before being placed in the asy
lum, many soon became proflcler.t un
der the instruction of a young woman
who learned the trade thoroughly. The
patients also have been weavine rugs
end have been successful in blending
tne colors and making handsome floor
coverings. A loom on which the rugs
are woven IB also in operation today.
Several patients of the sewing room
asked to be permitted to operate the
looms at the ralr and their wishes are
being gratified.. Some handsome bas
kets and other things woven by pa
tients are also on display In the booth
and that the patients have a fine sense
of the artistic is shown by the de
signs. "The patients are permitted to fol
low their own ideas as to designs,"
said one of those In charge of the
booth. "They are anxious to demon
strate to the public their efficiency,
and this year we will ler half a dosen
or more come here to operate the
looms and weave baskets. Of course.
jr tney did not want to come we would
not ask them to do so, but they are
Interested In their work and eager to
keep it up. Patients are put on this
kind of work when they are recover
ing their reason and feel the need of
something to take their minds com
pletely off their Imagined troubles.
They make an enormous quantity of
Roods for wear in addition to the kind
we have on display here today."
Prison league Exhibits.
Another interesting exhibit is that
of the Pacific Coast Protective societv
and Oregon Prison league, goods made
by Inmates of the prison being dis
played. "Pen" Parker, recentiv en
roled from the Oregon prison, is in
charge of this exhibit Besides being
a cartoonist, Parker is good talker
nu nis Doom draws many people."
The children of Oregon bave demon
irsiea weir industrial ability this
year better than ever before. The ex
hibits include a great ouantlrv of hoth
useful and ornamental goods made by
manual training departments of
schools. Immense Quantities of rnr4n
produce and various other things. Boy
Scouts of America. Salem uit.
troop Mo. 1, have a log cabin that at
tracts attention. , - .
The. Oregon state training school for
boys has an attractive booth, in which
is displayed things made by the states'
wards. Pictures of the little fellows
t work in school and elsewhere show
bapy little fellows, who are being
made better boys and who will be bet
ter citizens when they leave the in
stitution. ; .. .
The state industrial school for girls
also has a booth of much interest. In
it are shown various kinds of goods
made by the less than a score of girl
wards of the state kept In the Institu
tion near here. -
The Oregon Normal school has an
educational exhibit of much interest.
The exhibits cover a wide range, from
kindergarten to the higher branches of
study.
One of the wonders of the old pa
vilion Is the exhibit of the state school
for the blind. Weaving, sewing of va
rious kinds, fancy work and many
things It would seem impossible for
the blind to accomplish are shown and
demonstrate the efficiency of the syB-j
tern of education.
The state sealer of weights and
measures has a booth in the old pa
vilion, where he can weigh things that
cannot be seen with the naned eye,
even "trifles light as air,' it seems.
From state University.
Practical, varied and Interesting is
the exhibit of the University of Ore
gon. The exhibit shows what service
the university is rendering to the peo
ple of the state. Charts and maps out
line the work of the correspondence
department and list the lectures which
are available for towns, schools,
granges, churches, commercial clubs
and other organizations In the state. -
Professor O. F. Stafford, head of
the department of chemistry, is at
tracting crowds with a demonstration
of extraction of nitrogen from the air
for fertilizer. Many are viewing the
"pure water" exhibit sent down by
Professor A. R. Sweetser. Tills ex
hibit shows tests of water from Fort
land, -Oregon City and Eugene and
from various streams and wells.
The epitome of Oregon, showing the
resources either made from grain or
grasses In natural colors, is a highly
Instructive section of the fair.
At the textile department the dis
play surpasses all records this 1 year.
It was estimated that twice as much
had been placed in the building as on
the opening day a year ago.
The dairy exhibit is more complete
than ever and there is a larger dis
play of dairy machinery than ever be
fore. The machinery exhibit is the
largest In its history, much of the ma
chinery Is in operation so that the
visitor can get a good Idea of its ef
ficiency. The postoffice department boosts its
parcel post department with an ex
hibit in charge of an employe of tne
Salem postoffice. He demonstrates
the best method of packing goods for
the parcel post to Insure safety. This
booth-is especially interesting for vis
itors'from the rural districts.
Eugenics Gets Attention.
The eugenics department has a
large list of entries and it is attract
ing more interest among the women
than many other features of the fair.
The poultry department has a long
list of entries and attracts many vis
itors. It contains every variety of
fowl found in Oregon barnyards.'
The livestock exhibit is the largest
in the history of the Oregon state fair..
Horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and
other animals are here in great num
bers and demonstrate the progress
Oregon is making in diversified farm
ing. Great numbers of sleek cattle,
their horn polished and coats cur
ried and brushed carefully, are com
peting for prizes. Even the hog was
given a careful bath in preparation for
the fair. Soap and water and trushes
were used liberally.
The display of manufactured goods
of Oregon is most complete. The en
tire upper floor of the new navilion
is occupied with these goods and some
of the booths are very attractive. One
of the largest booths contains an ex
hibit of goods manufactured at an
Oregon City woolen mill.
Amusement features have not been
overlooked and the children's play
ground is the Mecca for youngsters.
Arrangements have been made so that
attendants will supervise the playing
and parents can leave their children
there while they visit other sections of
the fair.
A circus, circular railway and many
other attractions attract young and
old when they are not visiting the ex
hibition buildings.

The fair was a financial success and
besides the exhibits aeroplane flights
were staged by the management. W.

the city. Carnival attractions and nu

"You will need him on the state

Candida to Ax Compared.
The governor compared the three sen
atorial candidates Chamberlain, Booth
and Hanley. He spoke of Booth''
great timber holding and Hanley
vast acreage over in central Oregon.
"The Oregonian say Booth ia a suc
cessful business man, and for that
reason Bhould be elected senator," said
the speaker. "Yes, he has made $1,000,
000 out of timber, they say. And that
no doubt is true. The only question
Is, where did he get itT
"So has George Chamberlain made
$1,000,000 out of timber lands and
school lands. He has just as much
brains and ability as Booth, but he was
working for the public and he turned
bis million into the state treasury. He?
was the first governor who ever made,
any effort to get laws passed for the ;
protection of the common school fund. ,
Instead of only $6,000,000 in the school
fund,, there ought to be $30,000,000 or
$40,000,000 in the fund, if the fund had
peen protectee. r
Unfolding an old poster, used when j
Chamberlain ran for the senate be- f
fore, the governor read the promises
the candidate made then and pointed
out the subsequent events which
showed that all of them had been kept.
"The Oregonian wants you people
to turn him out now and put in bis
place Booth, who has spent his private
life feathering his own nest and his
public life in opposition to the interests
of the people," said the governor.
