H. C. Schellhous, superintend

the state fair, was interviewing
Cottage Grove poultry breeders
Monday and Tuesday with the ob
ject of interesting them in the
state fair txmltry show which will
be held in connection with the
state fair at Salem Septemlier 14-
19. Mr. Schellhous says more in

fested by Oregon poultry breeders
this year and that an unusually
large and fine exhibit is assured.
The fact that the state fair show
does not require birds to be
“ weighed in ” as they are at later
shows enables breeders to get in
and win prizes on young stock
that would be disqualified on
weight in the whiter shows. Mr.

Kli Parry, employed by the Home
Telephone Company, was killed
here today by a pole which fell on
him. Parry, assisted by several
other men, was engaged in unload
ing jioles from a wagon, and
reached down to block the wheels
with a stone. As he did so one of
the poles rolled off the wagon,
striking him on the back of the
head and crushing him to the
ground. II e was immediately
taken to the Cottage hospital, but
died a few minutes after reaching
there. Parry was .40 years of age,

School Superintendent Ackerman,

of 1907, has proved a success and
that all of its provisions arc prac

that the average attendance per
day for the school year 1907-08
was 17,079 over the previous year,
seem to bear out this report. This
large showing may be partly due
to a more accurate method of se
curing the school statistics, the
new law requiring teachers to re
