STATE FAIR
The Great Improvements
Now Under Way.
Old Dilapidated Shacks and Barren
Wattes are Being Removed, and
New and Modern Buildings Erect
cd 111 Their Place.
The Greater Oregon Stat Fair to
fie held in Salem September 10 to
to 21, inclusive, will bo "one oi the
biggest things that ever hapeiicd
to tlio Northwest," to une one fn
thumast'H expression.
Perhaps the people in general,
ant especially thoe who have been
regulur yeaily visitors at the fair,
ninl who have noted the growth of
this pioneer factor in the state's de
velopmeiit, are tuont interested in
the improvements ami fnrilitieM for
incited usefulness which have
been ailded this year.
The row of shacka aud stand,
candy toes aud lunch counters,
which formerly fared the main pa
vilion, had been entirely destroyed.
The dairy building which stood
noar the walk fiom the eutranc
gate, haa been moved northeast, no
that it now stajtds across the way
trom the pavilion. Between the
dairy building and the pavilion an
expanse of greeti lawns aud flower
beds with beautiful .statues and
fountains, will greet visitor at the
li)7 fair.
The refreshment Hands and side
shows will have a place, but ther
will be restticted to a apace lying
cant of the pavilion. Here they
will be grouped around three side
of u hollow square, the open aide to
face the pavilion. In the center of
thin square free open air perform
ances, balloon fcscenaiona and band
concerts will be given. It ia also
planned to throw stereoptican views
moving pictures and colored lights
rui the white walls of the pavilion
and other buildings at uight. The
removal of all concessions to one
district will le greatly appreciated
by fair visitora. Even in this place
restrictions will be made, audgamea
of chance aud traps to catch the
unwary will be strictly prohibited, j
lint the grenteHt change it in the
stock exhibits, The entire collec
tion of old, open-taced barns has
been removed, , and in their place
twelve new, modern and sanitary
wtructnres have been erected. These
whow barns were designed with the
idea of providing the greatest tos
sible con.lort both to the exhibitor
and the spectator. They were
built around an oval, in the form of
the hub of a wheel with its, project
ing spokes. The center space will
be used for the judging of stock.
Openings have been left through
the middle of the barns to provide
for u covered track to be built in
tho future. Sheds will be con
Htruclarl from one barn to another,
thus forming a covered track of
nearly n quarter of a mile in length
for winter training purposes.
The new barns will all be painted
red, with white trimmings. The
host lumber in the old barns was
used in the construction of 1 4ie.se
buildings, and thus hundreds of,
dollars have been saved to the
state, The barns are (all set on
concrete piera, and the lighting and
ventilation is perfect.
Of the twelve new bains, five are
for horses, three for cattle, two for
sheep, one lor hogs ftu cm for

fifty bushels of splendid plump
grain is now grown upon ground
that has been uniched by a change
to clover for. a few years. Flour
mills and grain warehouses at close
intervals along our railr ads all tell
their .story of the grain growing in

The wheat of this county is of
superior quality for milling pur

caused greater consternation than
this among the lumbermen of Ore

Tie proposed increase of freight
charges on the chief product of the
Pacific norm west is recognized is
threatening the industry in
this
part of the country. Several weeks ;
ago the rumor that such an advance
would be made was published by
the Oregouian, but at that time
lumbermen were not ready to be

reports to the
Board of Regents. The president
of each school is made its chief ex
ecutive officer and will be held re
sponsible for its discipline aud or
der, and the conduct of its em
ployes. The board has decided that Mon
mouth and Drain normals, which
are without appropriations, may be
conducted this year, provided funds
therefor are raised by private loan,
donation or tuition charges. The
tuition charge is fixed at $12 a year,
except that Monmouth may charge
$25 if the faculty so directs. Here
tofoie Ashland and Monmouth have
charged $25,' Drain $10 and Weston
$15 per j ear.
