The omen was right. It was truly a perfect day. The mud dried almost magically. Br night there was hardly enough mud, even on the race track, to iden tify. Attendance Was About 13.OO0 Judge John Logan, now of Hay- ward, CaL, the state fair guest for the day, and the originator of the loganberry that has made Oregon famous, was tendered a pubjic reception at 1:30. He is not mak ing a practice of public speaking at his nresent advanced age, and after a few words of greeting he gave way to Justice T. A. Mcuriae of the Oregon supreme court, who told something of the Logan alms and achievements in horticulture. The big formal reception and ban quet was held at 8 o'clock at the Christian church restaurant room on the fair grounds.. Three bands turnlshed music at intervals throughout the day the official Stoudenmeyer band, thA musicians from Mt. Angel, and the Salem Indian school band. The Grand Arm fife and drum corps from Portland sent their music up and down the plaza. It was Grand Army day also and the greybeard players never had a more joyful reception. ' At 2 oclock, ' Comrade John Stevens of Portland addressed tho G A." R. at the auditorium. No count was kept of all the Grand Army veterans on the grounds, bu it was very large, perhaps the largest gathering in the his tory, of Salem, at least for many years. In the auditorium, tnere were 77 of the vets. Many oth ers did not feel quite eqdal to sitting on the benches through a program while there were Joyful OAiinHl an A fifs-hta and odors EO- lngMtt outside and they played hooker and saw the lair in ear nest. There might have been as many as 200 soldiers in all. If there was one who had a snaaow other than his crutch or his empty sleeve, he hid it well in the glad sunshine of the day. Today Promises Well Because of the rainy week that kept ipeople at home when . thy should hav .been .seeing tne iair. and the nresent beautiful weather that is liklr to make today the bireest day of the fair, there will be as little break-up of exhibits Saturday as the fair management can require. The show today should be as fine as any otner da.r in the week or finer, because of the probable good weather and the dryer ground. Most ot ' tne mud was gone by last night.

The question has been raised as to whether she would permit this tor the purpose of a thorougn autopsy such as has been made on Mrs. Mills' body. Referring to today's autopsy which has established the fact of the. caliber of the fatal bullets, Mrs. Hall said: "No member of either the Hall or Stevens family owns, a .32 cali ber revolver." Detectives studying the results of today's autopsy concluded that the fourth bullet fired at her which grazed her Hp had first passed through Mr. Hall's 6kull. From the position of the bullet wounds the detectives declare they believe the cople were locked in an embrace when killed. In further support of this the ory, they say that one shoulder of Mrs. Mills organdie drefes was blood soaked, which Indicated to them that the clergyman's head waa resting . there when he was shot.

LOGAN, MAN WHO PRODUCED LOGANBERRY HISTORY OF THE LOGANBERRY IS TOLD BY MAN WHO MADE IT "Tfre Loganberry" was the sub ject of an address at the stale fair grounds last night by its originator. Judge J. II. Logan of Oakland, Cal. , The experiments that resulted in the wonderful berry that has made Oregon fam ous were told in detail. Judpa Logan said: "Forty-two years apo. In the fall of 1S80, ' commenced some experiments in my homo garden. L had always considered the flav or of the wild blackberry of the Pacific slope unrivaled. I found it growing everywhere, in the wft humus of the mountain hillsides. It was my intention to try and produce a new blackberry supe rior to any cultivated llacklrry that we had, and with the wild blackberry flavor. I al&o found that by cultivation the wild black berry wlTs greatly, improved in size and flavor, and in the growth of cane, also that the plants of the wild blackberry produced the seed carpel in one plant and the fructifying pollen in another and separate plant. This rendered ossihle an absolute and perfect cross fertilization, thereby mak j injc jmjruvemeTt:i inj the 'Cruit ! possible. 1 . Experiments !:criled . . "I planted the. Texas Early, a ; domestic blackberry thrit was an ! early bloomer blooming at-the 'same time as the wild blackberry - in the first row. and the wild blackberry' in the second row, and by the merest chance and not ' tor, any purpose in my experi jinents in trying for a cross bc itweoi a raspberry and a black j berry-M planted in the third row jan old form of raspberry known i as the Red Antwerp. ! "On account of its early bloom ling the Texas Early was selected ', lor my experiments wHh the wild '"blackberry.- in my effort to pro Uiuce an improved blackberry. iThe plants T set out in the early winter of 1RS0 were very large land with long canes of the pre vious year's growth, and fruited the next spring in a limited way from the old wood. The fruit ripened in May, which I gathered and planted the seed. They im mediately germinated in the seed bed, and by early fall I had about three hundred strong and vigor ous plants, rpady for growing in the open field. Early Results Favorable I "In the spring of 1881, when the plants started to grow. I saw they were different in cane fol iage from any blackberry plant that I knew. They were very large and grew vigoroously fnd were entirely different from any other blackberry, being neither a high-bush nor low-bush, al though largly of a trailing habit and required careful trellising. "When the fruit came the next year 1882 I found a new large x ' ' ..r.ti;.',..:., g . ,-:. sT r.i berry, which more than fulfilled my expectations, and which I named on account of the immense fruit and canes some of the ber. ries being two and a half inches long the Mammoth Blackberry, which is also known as the Black Ix)gan. This blackberry was a new and distinct fruit, produced from crossing wild and the Tex as Early, and was the direct and hoped for result of my ' experi ments. Ixgaiilxrry i.Boin "There was another result: In the very firr.i row I found a single lonely plant, entirely dif ferent from the new blackberry plants, and in appearance like no other berry plant I had ever seen. It bad the color and appearance of cane and leaves something like tho raspberry, but it was neither a raspberry nor a blackberry, but distinctly a new form of the Ru hus family. I tended this little plant carefully, and in due time when it came to fruit, in the spring of 1882, I found that the old Red Antwerp raspberry, which i had casually planted in the third row with my blackberries, had i.atu rally crossed with the black berry, and Nature Jiad produced a new and perfect fruit, which later was named the Loganberry. This was the origin of the Logan berry, and was the happy and unlooked for result of my ex periments. No Change in 40 Years "it was something new and ab solutely distinct in the Rubus tamily, and in the ensuing forty years it has remained absolutely the same, never reverting In the smalLst particular to either per ent berry, but keeping its own identity. "After the loganberry had be come an established and popular fruit, of recognized value, and a commercial demand for the plants bad become gTeat, unscrupulous dealer finding that the plant was reproduced true to the seed grew seedlings in tens of thou sands and scattered, them all over the I'nited States for sale at the established prices and under the representations ot identity with the genuine loganberry plants. "I mention this to show that in the distribution of all these iwedling plants, not one was any thing but a genuine Loganberry Rubus; not one in the whole lot was anything but a genuine Lo ganberry in physical appearance, and the only failure was that they were seedlings and worthless fo fru. and of no greater value than if a fakir sold you a seed ling apple tree under the name cL a Bellefluer, and even in these thousands of worthless seedlings there was not one that showed any reversion to either parent, but retained the characteristics (Continued o fa&e 6) RECEPTION FOR srFAMDUS BERRY INVENTOR HELD Judge and Mrs. .Logan Are Banquet GaeSts a! the .
