Before Great Interest Being Arous

Bright.
That the two advertising wagons
sent out by the district fair commis
sion are getting results Is shown by
the reports being sent in from dif
ferent parts of tho county to Secre
tary Thomas Fitzgerald by the agents
In charge of the wagons.
S. H. Warner, who left here Mon

the north part of Umatilla county and
Walla Walla county, writes that he'
has secured a large number of sam

the Record and the News, are en
thusiastically supporting the fair, and
' the farmers and stockmen of that lo.
callty are going to collect good ex
hibits, and that rich section will make
a showing which It s hoped will even
surpass their excellent exhibit of last
year.
Irrigation Exhibit.
D. B. Costuma, agent for the Fur-nlsh-Coe
lands In this city, arrived
from Portland this morning and stop
ped on the way at the Furnish-Coe

that as many as 100 samples of Ir

The outlook for the fair Is now ex
cellent. The MIlton-Freewater dls
trlot has a fine crop and will make a
creditable exhibit, as It has always
done: Morrow county will bring a
good exhibit, and the livestock dis
play this year promises to be excep.
tlonally good. Ample room will be
provided ror all. exhibits, and the
farmers are urged to take an Individ

RAISE INSURANCE RATES.
Canadian Companies to Recuperate
from Pernio Losses.
Winnipeg, Man., Aug. 12. Word
was received here this afternoon that
the Canadian Fire Underwriters' asso.
elation today in Toronto considered
seriously the situation arising out of
the $3,000,000 losses sustained at the
Fernle fire, and Increased rates were
decided upon. Partly for this rea
son and partly because the association
regarded existing rates on grain in
elevators In the western provinces too
low, It was decided to Increase the
rates 33 per cent on that class of
Insurance, to become effective Imme
diately on all new policies written.
The present rate on this business Is
99 cents, and the new rate will be
11.32. The report of the Increase In
grain and elevator fire Insurance rates
in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al
berta was received here with conster
nation.
In local insurance circles it Is ex
plained that adjusters from Toronto
and Montreal, Seattle and Vancouver
have gone to Fernle to adjust losses.
Much of this loss will fall on Pacific
coast companies. They too will reap
part of the increased premiums from
he grain and elevator service In the
" jclflc provinces, due to the new
jrder of things.

Constantinople, Turkey, Aug. 12.
Charging mismanagement on the part
of the ousted government officials as
being responsible for the depleted
treasury, a committee of young
Turks today demanded that the sul

tune for the rehabilitation of Turkey.
The sultan refused to consider 'the

his private property for a sum great,

Loaded with millions stolen from

An average estimate by a person

been robbed of $200,000,000 through
official corruption In 20 years. This
does not Include the cash squeezed
from the people by terrorism and

Mill SERVICE PHCITf AGENT
C. J. Blanchard of Washington, D.
C, the "newspaper .man" or publicity
agent of the reclamation department,
arrived last evening at Hermlston to
secure information in regard to the
Umatilla Irrigation project for pub
lication in the reports of the recla
mation bureau.
Mr. Blanchord follows the hew pro
jects and writes them up for press
notices, and his specialty Is to give
exact descriptions of the progress of
work.' climatic conditions, agricultu
ral opportunities and other features
of the projects which might be of
Interest to the public.
Mr. Blanchard Is located in Wash-
ngton, D. C, and la a son-in-law of
Captain J. H. Alexander, special agent
of the Interior department, who was
formerly In this city.
In gathering data for the Umatilla
project, Mr. Blanchard finds a num.
ber of unique features for publicity.
He finds a cmpleted Irrigation project
situated on a main line of railroad
within 200 miles of one of the best
markets In the country and surround
ed by a fine settlement on all sides.
Excepting the Idaho projects, most
of .the reclamation projects are far
In the interior, long distances from
railroads, still .further from good mar
kets and- but few of them have any
old settlements like the Butter creek
country adjacent. So he will have
some entirely new features to chron
icle concerning the Umatilla pro
ject, and his descriptions and pres
matter will be of especial Interest to
homeseekers.
He will remain at Hermlston sev
eral days this week, after which he
will go to the Tleton project, In Wash
ington, and then to Klamath, in
Southern Oregon.
