Benton's Awards.
"Never before in the history of any ex
position has the official liei of diplomat
for medals been given out so quicKly,"
said Colonel Dosch . "Little more than
two weeks have elapsed since the Fair
close 1, and we are able to make public
an official list of (mil awards. . In two
weeks more, all awards will have been
made public.
'The returns from the St Louis Expo
sition are not all in yet, a year after the
closing of that Fair. I had some of my
own fruit entered there, and only the
other day I got word that if all went well,
I would be apprised of my awards shortly."
To Colonel Dosch himself, more than
anyone else, is due the credit for having
the official list so nearly completed and
the fine showing made. Although set
back at the beginning of bis work by
unavoidable delays, since then he has
laoored unceasingly to finish with ex
pediency and acenracy. Every award
has been carefully reviewed by him to
avoid any possibility of mistake.
At the present time, the relative stand
ing of Oregon and the other states having
fruit displays at the Exposition cannot
be given, as the other lists are not yet
finished. I., is known, however, that
Oregon is well to the front. All of the
judging in horticulture was done by H.
E. Van Deman, ex-United States Pom-
ologist, who officiated in a similar capa
city at Buffalo and St Louis. For two
months be has worked constantly and
and his decisions are final. The follow"
ing is the list of awards, that came to

Good Roads Letter.
The following letter has been
sent to all vice-presidents of the
Oregon Good Roads Association,
who in the maioruv ol cases are
county judges:
Dear Sir: It has been decided
at a meeting of the executive
committee to hold the annual
meeting of this association at
Corvallis on November 15, 16
and 17. It is earnestly hoped
that you will be able to attend.
Following the line adopted at
the last annual convention held
in Salem in December, 1904, it
has beri. decided to confine the
discussions and", papers, so .far as
practicable, to a single line
rather than to scatter over the
various phases of the good roads

question, and this time having
in view the great preponderance
of the earth roads and the certain
tv that this proposition must
continue, though perhaps in a
diminishing degree, for many
years we will take up the subject
of how best to build and main
tain earth roads.
It is believed that the discus
sion of this question will be of
very great practical value to all
who are practically connected in
any manner with building and
maintaining roads. I send you,
under separate cover, a bulletin
issued by the Missouri state board
of agricultural, containing a val
uable article on " the use of the
"King split log drag," to which
we ask your earnest consideration.
To show that the value placed
upon it by Judge Scott, president
of the association, in which esti
mate I share enthusiastically,
enclose with the bulletin a copy
of the Salem Weekly Statesman,
containing-a letter which Judge
Scott has sent with, the bulletin
to every supervisor of this county.
I shall be glad to hear that
you will be able to attend this
convention. , which we hope to
