Receives Many Premiums on Flowers.
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.

Including the value of the building,
but Mr. Sterling says ha has about
8,000 pounds remaining In tbe Held
nd these he will have dried upon a
neighbor's kiln. The cause of the fire

READY FOR SCHOOL WORK
Dallas College Will Open With En
couraging Prospects Next Wed
nesday Morning.
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

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.

are employed In tbe gatberlngof fruit

Electricity for Lighting
Is only expensive to people who are
wasteful and careless. To yon, who
are naturally careful, it does not
come high. .. .
It Is economical because it oan be quickly turned off wnen not needed.
With gas or kerosene there is the temptutlon to lot light burn when
not needed to save bother of lighting and adjusting. In some homes
the eiectrio light bills amount to only one or two dollars per month.
You can probably get some kind of artificial light for less money
than eiectrio light, but does it save you anything when it limits op
portunities for work and recreation ruins your eyesight smokes
your walls mars decorations and Increases household work. You
could probably save a dollar tomorrow by going without your meals
but it wouldn't be economy. It Is not bo much what you save, but
how vou save that counts.
