Thirty-one years ago this state fair, S. W. Reed of Sa

grounds, says Albert Tozier, veteran camp caretaker and

cars in the camp ground during the fair. All the other camp

team In the entire camp, in iact,

for Oregon City and 65 for Salem.
The first state fair was actually
held in Oregon City October 1, 2,
and , 1861, in grounds on the north
side of the Clackamas river.
In all the years since 1862, only
one state fair year has been "miss
ed." That was in 1905 when the
state fair was combined with the
Lewis and Clark fair in Portland.
The Marlon county agricultural
society which "sired" the present

FAULTY SCALPING
FORFEITS BOUNT
Because of carelessnes in cuttlne
the scalps and in their treatment,
the county clerk has been compelled
to refuse more than. 200 scaliu nf
gophers, moles and gray diggers
suomuted for county bounty within
the last two days. The countv navs
a bounty of 10 cents for each.scalp
of grophers and moles and five cents
ior eacn gray digger scalp.
The bounty Is paid, however, only
for the scalps that contain the ears
or ear holes and the face including
the tip oft he nose. If they are not
preserved In the proper manner, the
tuimiy reiuses mem.
'me county advises that a Bond
way of preserving a scalp Is to tack
It on a board by putting a smsll tack
In each ear hole and one In the tip
of the nose so the scaln will form a
small triangle. A great many scalps
unii 00 uicKea on a board a foot
wide and three feet long and the
board can then be hung up out of
reach of cats, says the court.
When bringing in scalns In lnr
numbers, they should bo nut nn a
string counting 10 scalps and then
a piece 01 paper or cardboard be
tween each group of ten, simplifying
the counting, scalps of gophers,
moles and grap diggers should also
w ftcpt separate.
something like this: 1 shall be glad
If you will tell my Cousin John
that he can now return to England
with a safe-conduct from Professor
Laxton, and that his presence and
certain information he can supply
are greatly desired. He will be all
the more anxious to do so since
the man Richard, of whom he
knows, Is now officially reported
dead and will not be officially res
urrected." You can put In anything
else you like"
"Laxton I" I cried. "Do yon mean
It? You're giving up the charge "
or escape? yea. There's some
thing more Important."
"But the other thing"
"You mean Pell? My dear Mr.
Orenofen, I've always been quite
certain that your cousin John had
no more to do with killing Pell than
you naa."

cause of the prominence of these
three women in state federation af
fairs, the news has been broadcast
state wide that the women's club
federation Is sponsoring the art ex
hibit this year. This Impression Is
entirely wrong, said Mrs. Frankel.
Sunday afternoon, and these, three
women are in charge not s club

'R0PERTY CHANGES
OWNERS, SILVERTON
Silverton The Homeseekers agen
cy have sold the beautiful Qualseth
home on North Water street to M.
and Mrs. Math Lentsch, who re
cently arrived from North Dakota.
The Qualseth place Is better known
as the G. E. Anderson house. The
Lenbchs have a son and a daugh
ter, Lentsch Is an expert black
smith and mechanic and comes
highly recommended. He Intends
the very near future to build
an up to date shop in Silverton.
The agency has also sold tne 40-
acre Nixon farm near Yoder, to
Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Richards, who
recently came from Nevada, They
left for their old home after mak
ing this purchase and will close
their affairs there and expect to
jeturn to Silverton within the
month. Both of these were cash
deals.
The state fair grounds, the
hiblt buildings, the livestock bams,
the boys' and girls club quarters,
the space allotted the concession
aires, and the administration of
fices of the state fair board were
places of buftling activity Sunday.
Not that there was anything going
on In the way of entertainment
for there were not many people to
entertain, for only a few hundreds
entered the grounds Sunday at the
charge of half fare but everything
was in a state of bustling prepara
tion for the big week ahead.
The hours between twilight Sun
day night and dawn of Monday
morning just before an Oregon state
fair week are hours of magic. For
some way exhibits, stands, booths
that weren't there Sunday are there
early Monday morning, all cleared
for action.
In the main pavilion Sunday the
displays brought to Salem by 15
counties were being Installed. Few,
If any, were complete. The same
was true of the Industrial and trade
exhibits on both floors of the
building. Perhaps the farthest
events of the exhibits was the one
brought to represent the Dominion
of Canada, and this, by the way. Is
worth going a long way to see.
All day long trucks were enter
ing the grounds with display equip
ment. Automobiles were being tak
en Into the motor vehicle pavilion,
tractors were coming In for the
machinery display, carnival bosses
were tretchlng canvas, driving
stakes and laying wires; the "rides"
were not yet all assembled. The
fair grounds were a melee of wires,
ropes and bare timbers, and a clat
ter of hammers.
The boys' and girls' club exhibit
was complete and ready for spec
tators, also tne extiies, and tne
art exhibits were mostly all in and
placed. Well along towards com
pletion were the exhibits In the
new building under the grandstand,
but even the show wasn't ready to
throw out the glad hand to the
customers, so about all there was
for spectators to do Sunday was
cruise about the grounds or visit
the campers.
The grounds alone, however, are
magnificent attraction. Careful
attention has been given to the
floral beds and the campus, so the
big park everywhere is Just at the
stage where It throws the beauty
lover Into ecstasy.
Over In the livestock department
the stables are filled, for the reg
istered cattle, swine, sheep, horees,
rabbits, chickens, foxes, dogs, geese
and so on are always early on the
grounds. Its a little different in
the stadium, for lome of the show
horses have not yet arrived. How
ever, all will be here for the first
performance. A. P. Fleming, di
rector of the show, was at the sta
dium all day as busy as the mate of
deep-water ship. However, Mr.
Fleming doesn't giv eorders In
raucous, tormy sort of way. But
orders are orders with him and
the stadium was rapidly being
transformed Sunday, and Monday
was all ready for the show.
Most of the comedy on the
grounds Sunday was over at the
fire station. The dozen members
of the state fair fire department
this year were recruited from the
Portland and the Corvallls depart
ments, with Chief Tom Graham of
Corvallls serving as chief. Ex-
Chief L. O. Holden of Portland, is
also on the job to aid and abet Mr.
Graham.
