FOR COUNTY FAIR.
The Angora goat breeders of 1'olk
county are nothing if not progressive.
These men organized the first prac
tical and successful stockraisers asso
ciation ever formed in the county, and
they are now leading the popular
movement for an annual County Fair.
At their meeting last Saturday, they
appointed a committee to select suit
. able grounds and to prepare plans for
needed buildings for such an enter
prise. If suitable grounds and buildings
are secured, the goat men will not only
use them as a permanent location for
their annual exhibit, but will place
them at the disposal of the general
public for the Apple Show, the School
Children's Industrial Fair, and the
Monthly Auction Sales. It is believed
that land can be purchased and build
ings erected at a cost not to exceed
$1000.
The time is ripe in Polk county for
a county fair, which will combine all
the above exhibits in one, and to
which other attractive features may
be added. The farmers and business
men of the county are fully awake to
tne benefits of these exhibitions and
public sentiment is strong in favor of
tne enterprise. The benefits of a
county fair are fully appreciated by
all or the people, and no argument is
needed in favor of the movement. The
shows heretofore held In Polk county
have been of inestimable value to the
farmers and merchants, and a county
fair would prove of greater benefit
than all.
The Observer would suggest that
the goat men outline their plan of
work for securing suitable fair
grounds and that they call a meeting
or farmers and business men at an
early date to assist in carrying the
project to a successful conclusion.
Everybody will be anxious to help,
and the work of securing needed
funds will be easy.
SENATOR HART UNPLEDGED
Unpledged as to his choice forpresi-
dent or the Oregon Senate. J. a. Hart,
Senator for Baker, Malheur and
Harney, is in Portland. He said last
night that all reports that he favored
either Haines or Hodson or any other
candidate were without foundation.
In his opinion, the contest would con
tinue open until the meeting of the
Legislature.
Senator Hart evidently is trying to
determine whether Hodson or Haines
is in the lead, but was unable to make
up his mind from his observations
yesterday. He had a talk last night
witn Haines and conferred witn
Senator Malarkey, another of Mult
nouiah s aspirants, earlier in the day
He had no meeting with Hodson, but
is expected to have one today.
Inasmuch as the fleht is narrowing
down pretty closelv. Hart is studvine
carefully so as to avoid a tie-up with
a loser. It is understood that ne is
much interested in the attitude of four
other Senators who are counted as
doubtful Smith of Marion, Johnson
of Benton, Loughary of Polk and
Cake of Coos. The possibility of a
union of Senators, independent of
Hodson and Haines, for election of a
'dark horse" is speculated on con
siderably in gossiping circles. Sun
day Oregonian.
Over one hundred copies of last
week's Observer, containing a de
scription of the Polk County Apple
Fair, were sent by exhibitors to rela
tives and friends in the eastern and
middle states. The extra conies were
supplied to the apple men without
charge, in the belief that the adver
tising will be of benefit to Polk county
and the fruit industry in the Wil
lamette Valley.

The Pendleton East Oregonian is
right when it says that the election of
Jlourne as United States Senator is
not an issue in Oregon. This "issue"
was threshed out by the people last
spring and resulted in the triumph of
Jtsourne and tho principles for which
ne stood. 1 hose senators and repre
sentatives who won their election
without pledging themselves to any
candidate are. under no obligation to
support Mr. Bourne and cannot be
justly criticised if their support is
given to other candidates. But there
are enough members sacredly plodged
to "support the people's choice" to
elect Mr. Bourne and leave plenty of
votes to spare. It is hardly likely
that any Statement No. 1 man will
care to dig his political grave by
violating the solemn pledge by which
he won his election. The Observer,
as its readers well know, has never
favored the existing Direct Primary
law, but In common with an over
whelming majority of the people of
Oregon, desires to see tho law strictly
observed in letter and in spirit, now
that it is a law. Tho plain duty of tho
coming Legislature is to elect Jon
athan Bourne on the first ballot and
then devote its entire attention to
needed legislation. The question of
Jonathan Bourne's fitness for the
office must be declared out of ordor at
this late day.
True to his promise, Walter Lyon
has made many changes and im
provements in the Albany Daily
Herald. The paper now comes out in
8-page form, with Associated Press
dispatches, an ablo editorial page, and
all the local new written in blight and

Is appreciated by the business men of
