POLK GETS FIRST PRIZE
State Fair Board Over-Rules Protest
of Lane and Marlon Counties.
The protest of C. T. Bonriey, of
Marion county, against the awurd of
the first prize to the Folic county
exhibit at the Oregon State Fair last
week was heard by the board Thurs
day evening, and the action of the
judge was sustained. The task of
judging the relative excellence of the
county exhibits this year was a diffi
cult one, for the reason that all the
competing counties made flnedisplays.
Mr. J. N. Grieve, of Alberta, Canada,
was chosen to act as judge because he
was competent and because being a
Canadian, he held no local prejudice
In favor of any county and no person
al feeling toward any exhibitor. It
is highly gratifying to note that the
people of the competing counties have
accepted theflndingsof the judge with
good grace, and that the matter has
been settled without bitterness or jeal
ousy. The Albany Herald, published in
the county winning the second prizo,
says: "Linn county had a good
exhibit at the fair, evidenced by aj
bright red ribbon, showing second
place. It would have been very satis
factory to the people of Linn had their
county exhibit been awardod first
place. But it is no discredit to be
second to any one of several excellent
county exhibits. W. A. Eastburn,
who had charge of the Linn exhibit is
entitled to credit for the good display
made and the place secured in the
awards."
The Corvallis Timos, commenting
upon the result, says: '"Critics say
that the specimens shown in the
Benton exhibits were often superior,
but that her failure to get a hotter
grading than fifth was due to the
smaller number of articles displayed.
The success of Polk county, winner of
the first both this year and last, is
ascribed to the larger amount of its
articles, rather than to any superior
ity, olther in the quality of articles or
their arrangement. The exhibit was
collected by a lady, whose activity
seems to bring out co-operation from
the citizens and the- result is a big and
winning exhibit."
ThoHalom Statesman, ever neigh
borly and courteous in its attitude
toward the peoplo of Polk county, finds
no cause of complaint, and takes a
practical and broud-minded view of
the result. That paper says :
"Tho protest made against awards
on tho county exhibits at the Fair
illustrate the difficulties that always
arise in suoh matters. Few exhibitors
see any defects in their owu displays
or auy particular excellence in those
of others.
"And tho worst feature about this
sort of a situation is that it is a prom
inent ingredient iu tho make-up of
human nature. One man's squash
may bo larger than that of his com
petitorit cannot be denied but he
will claim the award on quality and
symmetry of outliue. He can easily
and honestly seo the superiority of his
spoeimen and tho judge who cannot
is plainly biased.
"Any woman on earth can easily
perceive thut her own baby is the one,
and the only oue, that is entitled to
tho prize iu the beauty show. If she
were so deficient in that womanly
vtrtuo that she couldn't, she would
have remained a sour, pessimistic and
uninteresting old maid all her days
though, come to thiuk of it, there are

To health and happiness is Scrofula
as ugly as ever since time immemorial.
It causes bunches in the neck, dis
figures the skin, inflames tho mucous
membrane, wastes the muscles, weak
ens the bones, reduces the power of
resistance to disease and the capacity
for recovery, and develops into con
sumption. "A bunch appeared on tlie left side of
my nock. It can-nil irivui puin, was lanml,
and became running sort. I wtuit into a
general dtvline. I ' persuaded to try
HixkI'j Saraaparlila, and when I had taken

never bail any trouble of the kind since."

myriads of old maid3 who are con
spicuously sweet, perfectly optimistic
and always interesting.
"But the man who will voluntarily
accept an invitation to act as a judge
in a baby show forfeits his reputation
as one of sagacity or of prudence.
"In the case, however, of the county
exhibits the judgehad an exceptionally
hard task. With unusual tact in
arrangement and a great variety of
exhibits, he was up against the real
thing. Some fault is found with the
fact that he is a citizen of Canada.
In this respect, we have no sympathy
for him, for the man who will go away
from home, and into a foreign country,
besides, to get into such a thankless
task a3 this, deserves all the humili
ating annoyances that are attendant
upon such imprudent recklessness.
"The writer recalls a Fair many
years ago when he was associated
with the late John Daly, or Dallas,
and Col. R. A. Miller, or Jacksonville,
on a committee whose duty was to de
termine the relative points or excellence
between a display of geese, and neither
of the judges ever recovered from the
ill-feeling which it was freely said
cropped out from the alleged unjust
decision.
"The Statesman is in receipt of a
communication from C. T. Bouney,
the superintendent of the Marion
county exhibit at the State Fairin
which he gives his version of the de
cision by which he lost the first prize,
and, indeed, the second, also.
"Mr. Bonney had a good exhibit
the best, in our judgment, Marion
county has had for years. We are
free to confess that it would have been
difficult for us to have decided against
itand in favorof auy of its competitors,
but in these matters it is best to sub,
mit gracefully to the decision that is
handed down and quietly saw wood
with the tools that are at haud.
"For these reasons a desire to not
unnecessarily cause hard feelings
against the Fair management, the
judge, Mr. Bonney or the Statesman
we have thought it best to let the
matter drop without printing the com
munication of our good friend from
Woodburn, whose exhibit, we repeat,
was a credit to himself and the county
he so well represented."
Tho Populist party has been resur
rected, and candidates for Presidential
Electors will be placed on the official
ballot by petition. The candidates
are : P. E. Phelps, or Malheur county ;
Dr. J. L. Hill, or Linu county ; L. II.
McMahon, or Marion county, andG. F.
Schmidtlein, or Jackson county. Tom
Watson, the standard-bearer of the
pariy will be brought to Oregon for
a number or speeches. This revival
or Populism is not hailed with joy by
the Democrats, who have been trying
to line up the Populist vote for Parker.
The registration books were opened
Tuesday, iu compliance with the pro
visions or the new election law, and
will be kept open 30 days, or until
October 20. Electors who registered
before the June election will not be
required to register again, but all
others desiring to vote in November
will have to come forward now and
get their name s ia the book. County
Clerk Smith is or the opinion that the
registration in Polk county will be
light, as there are thought to be Tew
voters who did not qualify last Spring.
The average citizen of Polk County
is carrying his chest well in front
these days. That political subdivision
of the greatest state in the Northwest
has walked away with the highest
State Fair honors two years in sue
cession. May the excellence of her
products and the shadow of her people
uover grow less. Portland Telegram
Fairbanks and Dolliver will speak
iu Portland on the evening of Satur
day, October 1. Republicans from
all parts of the state will bo in
attendance, and the meeting will
probably be the lartrest political
gathering ever witnessed in Oregon.
