September 5th the great Port­
land Fair and Livestock Exposi­
tion will open in Portland, and
continue until the 10th, inclusive.
An elaborate program of races,
livestock exhibits, music, vaude­
ville amusements and industrial
events has been prepared by the
management. This will be the
greatest fair of the kind yet held
in that city, as a large number of
blooded animals recently import­
ed, and the best known of the
old stock, will be found. A great
poultry show will be conducted
on the grounds. Trained ani­
mals will perform daily and the
races will bring out some of the
fast Northwest stock.
At the regular meeting of the
good roads association held in
Portland last Tuesday, a number
of prominent speakers argued
with all their power adoption
of the amendment next Novem­
ber which will permit counties
to bond themselves for heavy
wagon road construction. Until
such provision is enacted, the
good roads people feel that pro-
g.-ess is handicapped, but if such
a measure is enacted by the peo­
ple, they are confident may Ore­
gon counties will at once begin
heavy work.
The candidacy of Mr. Lafferty
is making a noise all around the
country. Lafferty may be the
man. Anyway he stands for the
observation of the law as it now
reads and neither Mr. Ellis or
Mr. Hawley observed that.
Then, wouldn’t it be advisable
to consider a change. Whether
it is Lafferty or someone else it
makes little difference, as it
seems most anyone could do as
much for the state a3 the last
two congressmen that Oregon
has had.

Northwestern Apple Orchards E»pect

Officer* of state Horticultural aseo

that the fruit crop this year will be
the largest and most profitable 111 the
history of the four stat«« It l.s pre

F A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner, says that Washington
will produce twice as much fruit In
1910 as In 11)08. the year of the record
crop. Including peaches, apricots. Cher
ries. berries and other soft fruits, tlie
yield will be at least doubled owing
to the Increased acreage, he adds,
while the apple crop will show an In
crease of about 25 per cent. Oregon.
Idaho and Montana will have equally
large crops as the result of Increased
acreage and trees coming Into bearing

of lands are devoted to orchards In the
four states, and |K>mologlsts estímale

Although the domestic and foreign

strangely enough the production of the
