' This first meeting was spent in the work of organization and selection of officers. Hon. G. L. Hawkins was chosen president of the newly formed club and Dean Collins, secretary. The association begins its existence with a mostenoouraging membership, which will probably be doubled or trebled before the next meeting as many who would have been present at the first meeting bad they been in town, were at the State Fair. Chairman Hawkins will probably call the second meeting early next week, and at that time definite plans' of action will be mapped out, committees appointed, and preparations lor active and effec tual work completed. The following names were submitted for membership in the club at its first meeting Wednesday evening: Dr. B. H. McCallon, G. L. Hawkins, Ed F. Coad, G. N. Cherrlngton, K. E. Williams, C. S.

In the floral display at the State Fair, Mrs. H. N. Willlts, of Falls City. carried off many honors, being the only non-resident of Salem, (with the exception of Mis. G. L. Allen, of Lebanon, who carried off only one prize) to take premiums la that de partment. Mrs. Willlts reoalved six prizes as follows : First on display of pansies ; second on gladiolus ; second on sweet peas ; second on roses, and second on display of asters. This Is a truly remarkable showing, consider ing the fact that she was obliged to transport her exhibits such a distance, while the majority of her competitors lived In the city and consequently ran less risk of Injury to their flowers by breaking, wilting or other accidents that would Impair their merits for exhibition purposes. . Kila and Hop Crop Burns.

The opening exercises In the ninth year of the existence of Dallas College will be held In the college chapel at 10 o'clock a. m., Wednesday, September 23. Successful as it has been In the past, the faculty and friends of the institu tion are anticipating an even greater advance in all lines of development during the coming nine months. Apparently too. their expectations are based on excellent premises, for there is no other school in Oregon that has made such great strides in so short a time.' , Founded only a little more than eight years ago with a small attend ance, scanty equipments and an uncertain patronage, it has already lifted itself to a position of enviable prestige among its sister institutions in nearly every line of collegiate work. The patronage formally promised from the membership of the Evangel ical Association at the recent confer ence of that branch of the Evangelical Church held at Jennings Lodge, almost doubles the backing of the Institution, and In view of this fact it is only reasonable to expect that Dallas College will make greater and more extensive growth during the coming two years than at any previous time. It has long been a matter of pride among those most deeply interested in the progress of the college that its graduates have made as good success in their work after leaving the insti tution as has been attained by the graduates of some of the more preten tious schools of the state, and that Dallas College Is one of the few insti tutions that can count "no failures" In the list of the graduates It has sent out. Dallas College claims the distinction of having produced a larger average of successful teachers during the past eight years than any of the other small schools of Oregon with the exception of the Normal schools. Out of a list of 38 graduates from the col- legiHte courses since 1900, IS are at the present time holding good posi tions in the schools of Oregon and neighboring states. The remainder of the graduates are either engaged in business pursuits or attending some of the larger colleges or universities of Oregon or California for the pur pose of acquiring further education along special lines before entering into business. The success of the student body in work of an intercollegiate nature has been fully as marked as that of the graduates from the college. In ora torical, literary and athletio work they have succeeded In winning and main taining a high position among the colleges of Oregon. Additions to the teaching force will make It possible for the students to enter yet more fully into those lines of endeavor durlog the coming year, and. great success especially In the oratorical and literary work is antici pated. The regular faculty which has served for the past two years has been re elected and additional Instructors In vocal and oratorical work and In art have been secured. Mrs. May Wright, recently from the East where she has taken several years of work in voice culture, will have charge of the two former departments, and Miss Sue Parrott, of Portland, has agreed to take charge of the art department. Both are instructors of great ability and will no doubt meet with excellent success In the coming year's work. President C. A. Mock is well pleased with the outlook In all departments and expects Dallas College to make a better record both In local aod inter collegiate work during the year 1908 09, than ever before. After the chapel exercises on the opening morning, the remainder of the day will be spent in registration and classification and the regular routine work will be well under way by the beginning of the following week. Conpaar Plana 8noker. The social committee of company H, O. N. O., will meet In the office of Attorneys Brown & Stout at 10 o'clock Sunday morning, and complete plans for the smoker to be held Thursday, September 14. In the armory. This smoker will be neia ror tne purpose 01 bringing ail of the young men together for a friendly discussion of plans for the social side of tba com pany's work during the coming winter. Excellent entertainment will be pre pared for the oceaaloo and a a,cnt enjoyable evening is anticipated. Rrriatrr Fee Presidential Derlioa.

LOGGER CRUSHED TO DEATH William Getty Caught in Line, Whirled Under Rolling Log and Killed Instantly. William Getty, a young man em ployed at the Powell logging camp about four miles west of Falls City, was caught under a rolling log and instantly crushed to death Tuesday afternoon. . A log was being taken down the rollway with the donkey engine, when the trip line caught and Getty, who was nearest it, was caught and wound in onto the log. Held helplessly against the rolling timber his body was whirled down and ' the whole weight of the heavy log passed over it, crushing and mangling It terribly. Death was practically Instantaneous. The accident, thought regrettable In the extreme, cannot be attributed to oarelessness 00 the part of any of the men employed on the job, since Its occurrence was entirely unforseen, and the whole incident passad so rapidly that it was impossible for any thing to be done to prevent It It can only be written down as 'another item In the pitiful libt of unavoidable accidents." Getty was a young man about 18 years of age and had been employed in the logging camp for about two years, making his home with bis parents, his father being also an employee of the logging company. Their home was formerly at Bueoa Vista. The deceased has also a brother living in California. The body will be taken to the old home In Buena Vista for burial. STATE FAIR BEST EVER Visitors Are Unanimous in Their Praises of Oregon's Big Annual Exposition. The biggest and best State Fair, Oregon has ever held" Is the verdict of each of the returning visitors from Salem, where the Fair is being held this week. It is more of a real exposition of the resources of Oregon than has ever before been prepared and the collec tion of livestock, dairy, horticultural, agricultural, floral, mechanical and industrial exhibits is more complete and gives a bettor and more compre hensive view of what Oregon and Ore gon's citizens can produce, than has any collection of like nature that lias ever before been shown in the state. The exhibits are handled to better advantage this year and have an appearance of more completeness, everything down to the finest details of the decorations being worked out with the minutest care. The new eiectrio turnstiles at the entrance of the grounds offer bettor facilities for the rapid and easy hand ling of the enormous tide of visitors that pours through the gates daily, and Indeed tbe great Increase in the attendance over that of previous years makes these improvements practically a necessity. Tbe additional attractions are large this year, and fully seventy-five con cessions for restaurants, stands and amusement features were Issued. The races In particular are proving a leading feature this year. Fast, close and exciting, with entries from tbe best racing stock on the Pacific Soast, they are drawing large crowds ally, and It is probable that several of tbe racing records of tbe state and coast will be lowered before the close of the Fair. One of tbe crowning features of the entire Fair Is the general State dis play in tbe main aisle of tba pavilion. It Is tbe most beautiful and complete exposition of Oregon's agricultural and horticultural resouroes that bas ever been prepared for tbe State Fair aod is ellcltlog the highest praise from visitors not only' from all of tbe Coast states but from tbe Eastern and Southern portions or tbe United States. Harvesting Fall Pear The harvest of the fall crop of pears Is In full blast at the Wallace fruit farm. Tbe crop of this kind will not be large but is of a good quality. These pears are also being sent to Portland for storage. Tbe picking of apples, of which this ranch bas a large number, wilt commence next month. Quite a large force of men are employed In tbe gatberlngof fruit on this farm. Sslem Statesman. Recovering From Blood Poisoaiag.
