Larger Variety of Attractions
Than Ever Indicated for
Big Show
; For many years the Oregon state
fair has been generally recognized
as being at the top of the list of
great agricultural institutions in
the United States an Institution
that truthfully reflects the enten
sive scope and excellence of the
products of the state. This year
will be no exception, for under
the efficient management of J. E.
McClintock. manager, and Mrs.
Ella S. "Wilson, secretary, the an
nual iereni, which opens Septem
ber 22, will be more, complete and
elaborate than it has ever been.
The various departments present
a: thoroughness, of I organization
that will be readily discernable
in their respective displays.
.'Requests for space in every de
partment bare come In in. unpre
cedented numbers, so that the lat
ter part of August f finds practi
cally every foot of regular space
taken, and the necessity faced of
providing additional room. The
automobile building will not be
adequate for the exhibit that the
dealers wish to make; the aeces-

sory; department .will overflow in
to tented space! ; and enlarged
quarters will have to be establish
ed for the machinery exhibit which
will be one of the largest and most
comprehensive in years.'
Erery foot of space in the poul
try building ) has been taken, so
that extra space will have to be
provided for the late comers. The
pigeon display will be much larg
er than heretofore; the rabbit ex
hibit will show 'a ' great Increase
as will also the pet stock division,
which yearly grows in size and
importance.:;-': j j
Enlarged space X has been ar
ranged for the girls and boys of
the state, who annually come in
for more attention in their Indus
trial club exhibits. Keen but
friendly rivalry exists among the
growing-ups this year, for besides
the j regular ribbons and monetary
prizes that have been offered there
are ; the handsome watches, the
gift of the Oregon Hotelmen'a as
sociation, to be - competed for.
Aside from these things, a number
of attractive affairs and trips have
been arranged for the pleasure of
the highest scoring girls and boys
in club work at the fair. E. L.
King, superintendent of . Southern
Pacific lines in Oregon; who has
become a booster for juvenile club
work, will give a banquet to the
successful contestants on his pri
vate car during the week, an ad
ditional guest of honor to be Miss
Patricia Smith of Portland, queen
at the Multnomah county fair this
year, who has been especially in
vited to attend the state fair.
T A big exhibit of silver foxes.- the
first large showing to be made at
the state fair, will be put on this
year, with a quartet of foremost
northwest breeders entering ani
mals, R. J.; Mercer of Vancouver.
Wash., will make one of the finest
displays, - showing the principal
animals from his farm. The U. S.
fox farms of Portland will be rep
resented by; some splendid speci
mens, as will also Dale Hosklns of
Dundoc, the original exhibitor in
this division at the state fair, and
W. H. Martin of Crabtree.
A big dog show promises to at
tract fanciers from all oyer the
state. This will be the second dog
show given at the state fair and
will, as previously, be. under the
management .- of C. S.' Whitmore,
secretary of the Portland Kennel
club. A much larger and finer ex
hibit will be made than last year,
the show to be housed in the south
section of the machinery building,
which allows for better bench and
show facilities.; . 1
The entertainment program for
the week has not as yet been defi
nitely worked out. but .'tentative
plana reveal the fact that serious
thought is being given this detail.
The Salem Cherrlan band has been
selected as the official musical or
ganization. It will furnish music,
at the grandstand for the daily
racing programs, at the stadium in
the evenings for the horse shows,
and during the day in the open-

Must Be Raised Declares
Home Mission Executive ;
PITTSBURGH, Pa.. Aug. 30. ;
Declaring that the minimum sal?
ary of $1,000 and parsonage and
the maximum salary of $1,500 and
parsonage for i home missionaries
must be raised in fairness to the
self-sacrifice of these men and
their families, Rev. E- F. WVStell
horn, home mission executive of
the Lutheran Joint Synod,-which
is holding its 47th convention here;
entered a strong plea for an ap
propriation of $125,000 for this
work of the board during the com
ing year. r
"The total number of home mis
sionaries working in the United
States and Canada during the past
two years was 159," he declared,
"and the number in active service
last July 1 was 124. During the
past two years S missions declar
ed themselves financially indepen
dent. Since July 1, 1922, two mis
sions were discontinued because of
local conditions that did not Justi
fy their .existence. 14 new mis
sions were organized and manned
with missionaries, and 7 establish
ed congregations were listed with
the status 'of missions: During
this time 23 pasters and 24 sem
inary graduates accepted calls
from home mission parishes. Of
the 24. 11 young men came from
the Theological seminary at .Co
lumbus, and 13 from .that at St,
Paul. : y : K;i
"While a number of our mis
sions located in country districts
have met with discouragement and
hardship due to crop failure and
air bandstand near the stadium..
The Capital City quartet, com
posed of Albert Oille. A. B. Han

low prices of farm products, a de
cided majority of the missions
have made splendid progress. The
missions reported an average per
member of $7 for benevolence and
up to $35 for all purposes."
If the efforts of the board of
foreign missions avail, Capital uni
versity, Columbus,': Ohio, will
shortly admit young women who
will train for missionaries. The
board, asking for an appropriation
of $68,843 per year for the work
In India, reported; through Prof.
Edward Pfiffer of Capital uni
versity, that "the :. Luthern Joint
SynOd now has 24 mission work
ers employed in the Madras Presi
dency, India, including two men
and four women who have been
sent to the field.during the past
biennium." The six pew mission
aries include Mlltoq Scbram, of
Butler, Pa., Rev.; and Mrs- Clyde
Hildebrantt of Columbus, Ohio.
Miss Pernilla Hagen, of Duluth,
Minn.; Mhs Martha Buttikofcr, of
West i View. Pa., and Miss J Ruth
Meyer, of Holland, Ind.
: "Connected with our 10 main
stations in -India," continued Prof.
Pfeiffer. "there are fully 2,000 vil
lages with nearly one million na
tives totally dependent upon our
work for the preaching of the
Word. In 1923 : alone 28S 'con
verts were baptized and one blind
native deacon, named Gaod, pre
pared 28 persons . for baptism In
the Kodur Range during 1922 and
1923. We maintain in India 100
elementary schools, several higher
elementary schools, several middle
schools for boys and girls, , one
boys' high school, teacherssem
inary, a catechists' seminary, an
industrial school, fa lace school
and three boarding schools. ' We
employ in the elementary schools
121 teachers and in the higher
schools U7 teachers of whom on
ly nine are non-Christian. .. v
; "Our missionaries realize that
we must educate ;in India or our
work will perish; and they are do
ing all they can In this direction.
Twenty-six standard; schoolhouses
havej been donated by individuals
and organizations in America to
the field in India. ; About one
half of these hav b,een built, and
are already in use, to the great joy
of the natives of India. The rest
will be built as soon as possible."
Danish Military! Chiefs
Give Lie to Minister
COPENHAGEN, Aug. 30. A
warm controversy; is being waged
in the Danish newspapers between
Lauet Rasmussen, minister of de
fense in the present labor cabi
net., and all the generals and. ad
mirals of the Danish army and
navy. f? Vi-
; A ! week or so ago the minister
was on the stump In the provinc
es. In the course of one of his
speeches he said that all the gen
erals and admirals agreed .with
him! that the present act of. de
fence wa no good whatever, "On
this evidence," Bald the minister.
"I think , it only fair that we
should scrap the' whole army and
navy and substitute for it a na
tional police corps that will cost
but a fraction of he upkeep of
the present army and navy."
X To this statement Ellia Woirf.
the Danish general-in-chief. has
given the lie direct. No Danish
general has said words to that ef
fect, he declared. First of all, the
minister has spoken to no more
than four generals, and not one
of these officers has described the
act as without value. The other
six generals, and the Danish ad
mirals, deny having spoken with
the minister on the aubject.
Pigeons Steer Straight ;
f f Course Through Fogs
BERNE. Switzerland. Aug. 30.
An interesting test of the' reli
ability of pigeons as message
bearers was recently made by the
Swiss general staff. Twenty doves
were taken to the highest accessi
ble point of the "Jungfrau" and
released. The day was cloudless
m the upper regions of the Alps,
But all the cities and valleys were
screened from :. view by a thick
layer of fog. : ; r-:';-. .
; Seventeen doves started in, a
straight line r for Berne. ; Two
started in the wrong direction,
and a third became lost for a while
in the valley. But the entire 20
finally reached their destination.
The three erring doves were only
10 minutes behind- the leaders in
getting home. ; k .

Inch in diameter, opens new pos
sibilities for erection of larger
and longer suspension structures.
The total length of the Dela
ware river ' bridge, including
plazas', is 9,760 feet, as compared
with the 5.989 foot length of the
Brooklyn" bridge, which was con
sidered an engineering wonder' of
the world when it was erected.
The main span of the Delaware
river bridge the span directly
supported by the cables is 1,750
feet. The river span of the Brook
lyn bridge is 1.595.5 feet long.
An idea of the progress effected
in suspension bridge construction
is given in the fact that four
cables . 15. 5 inches in diameter are
used to support' the Brooklyn
span while only two 29 7-8 inche
in diameter will be used to hold
up the Delaware span. ' j
Each of the two Delaware
bridge cables, after assembly in
the field, will be 3,550 feet long
with a sectional area of 562
square inches. Each will weigh
3.500 net tons, and be comprised
.of 61 strands of 306 wires each,
or 18,666 wires per cable. The
assembly will be effected in the
field by stringing the wire con
tinuously from anchorage I to
anchorage via the foot-bridge Re
cently completed between the two
main towers that extend 385 feet

During the manufacturing pro

it goes into the billet heating, fur
naces as a bar of cold steel until
it emerges , from the galvanizing
process, is tested and re-tested
under minute and exact specifi
cation requirements.
Before it is galvanized with
zinc 99.75 per cent pure, the wire
is required to measure 192-1000
