FINE MEDAL DISPLAYED. Local Fanciers Planning to Partici pate in Show at 'Frisco. A Fine Compliment. Airlie Correspondent Recalls His In terment, Which Occurred 'Way THE CITY IN BRIEF Back in 1847. Following the state fair at Salem the poultrymen of this county will begin preparations for the exhibit at the Panama exposition, where they will be well represented. When Ben. Keeney was here last week judging the poultry exhibit at the fair, he in terested a number of local poultrymen in the forthcoming show at San Fran cisco, of which he is commissioner for Oregon, and received the promise ot several that they would ship their birds there. But Mr. Keeney is not satisfied with the number declaring their intention to make exhibits, and in order to create greater enthusiasm in Polk county he will return here in the near future for the purpose of furthering bis promotion work. Mr. Keeney is one of the best known poultrymen in the state, and is considered an authority as a judge of pure-breds. While judging the birds at the fair be highly compl merited the stock here by saying that it has no superior in Oregon, and hence he is anxious that it have rep resentation in the big show, where the keenest of competition may be ex pected from poultry from all sections of the country. Among those who have signified their intention of showing at the exposition are Mrs. Winnie Braden, Cooper Brothers, and Henry Voth. IS PROHIBITION A JOKE? California Liquor House Flooding State With Circulars. Thousands of circulars advertising the opening of the bonded liqudr warehouse at Hornbrook, Cal., have been mailed to citizens in this state. The first consignment was received in Dallas this week. Every man in Polk county, no matter with what frequen cy he bends his elbow, will receive one of these announcements. It is frankly stated that the object of the business is 'jo arrange it so you don't have to worry about prohibi tion." It is further stated that "with your name on our mailing list the idea that you are in a dry state will never enter your mind." The injunction is also given "be prepared for the worst and send in your order now." The advertising activity of the bonded warehouse promoters is due to the fact, that with prohibition effec tive in three months, local dealers are selling futures in bonee by barrel lots. The names of 380,00 users of liquors and beers in Oregon and Washington are on the mailing lists. The bonded warehouse promises to make a jest of prohibition as far as it restrains from the use of intoxicat ing liquor in this state. It is agreed to furnish refreshments from quart lots to the limit, and at the present prices, with express charges paid on all amounts over one bottle. The li cense money goes to the state of Cali fornia. The bonded warehouse is call ed Mayers, and was formerly Fleck stein Mayer company of Portland, in business in this state for over forty years. Oregon's Horticultural Superiority Attested at San Francisco. There now hangs in the Oregon section at the palace of horticulture an eighteen inch orange ribbon with large rosette at the top and gold braid at the bottom, gold lettering, a silver medal, and a score of names above pretentions titles, proclaiming that the Oregon horticultural exhibit is the "best, most complete, and most attractive installation" at the P. P. I. E. Each of the nine exhibit pal aces has one of these ribbons, and it hangs at the best exhibit in that par ticular palace. This is the highest honor that can be awarded, and in the case of Oregon this award means more than to any other, for Oregon landed this coveted ribbon with what is, in comparison, an almost insignificant exhibit in point of size. The actual fact is that Oregon sent the least there with which to make an exhibit; and but for the ingenuity in making the very most of the least, Oregon would have been lost in the shuffle. As it is. Oregonians pass along and very prop erly swell up and push out their chests, but they ought to go home pre pared to insist that Oregon should never again put it up' to a chief of horticulture to make a winning exhib it with so little co-operation as was given to make this one. Hood River and the Rogue River valleys have really done it all so far as horticul ture is concerned. The Willamette valley has an insignificant showing though it grows some or the finest fruit to be found on the coast. The Umpqua valley, especially favored for fruit, sent nothing, and the of ferings from other sections than the two named have been insignificant in quantity and usual in general worth yet they grow much fine fruit. But "we should worry" the ribbon hangs there and all Oregon gets the benefit. The award was made some time ago, but the ribbon was just now delivered. The body of Louis Crawford was the first to be intered in the "public graveyard" near Dallas, according to a ireminiscent letter sent to the Ob server by W. M. Shewey of Airlie whose recollections of the early his tory of Polk county are especially vivid. This burial was conducted in 1847, just after a plot of ground had been designated as a cemetery, and before Dallas was thought of as a name for the city that was some day to spring up. Louis Crawford, whose 'remains were the first to find lasting and peaceful rest in this plot of ground, came to Polk county, Oregon terri tor, from the east in 1844. He was a consumptive and crossed the plains with the Gilliam expedition, a pioneer caravan, in search of relief, trom that terrible affliction. Mr. Crawford found only temporary benefit here from the ravages of the fatal dis ease, and he had planned to find an other climate that would help him in his search for health. But he waited too long", and in 1847, according to Mr. Shewey, he succumbed to the dreaded disease. Others had died among the early settlers, and had been buried here and there about the county, but Louis Crawford's body was the first to occupy a narrow grave in the "public graveyard."

Himes, who returned on Monday from San Francisco, where he attended the Pan American Road congress and the convention of the American Road Builders' association, accomplished a rather remarkable feat when he sat through the sessions of the. two organizations lasting eight days. In that time, although he was hob-nobbing with such illus trious engineers as Colonel (roethals, he says that he enjoyed the paiiers that were read and the speeches that were delivered. He brought these back with him in printed foi-m and there are enough to make thiee good sued volumes. Thev deal with irn gation in darkest Africa and railroad beds in India. Perhaps it was enter taining to Ed. since he is an engineer, but eight days would be too much for most of us. 0. L. Hawley Re-Elected. C. L. Hawley of Polk county was re-elected president of the Oregon Pure Bred Livestock association, which held its annual meeting held in Salem on Wednesday evening. Oth er officers are N. C. Maris, vice-president; and Charles Cleveland, secre tary. The organization will ask the state fair board next year to publish several days before the opening of the state fair a catalogue giving all entries of livestock. This will great ly facilitate the judging and handling of stock, and is an important step in view of the increasing value of the stock show in connection with the an nual state fair. Orr Joins Post. Sheriff John Orr joined in the search for Otto Hooker, the despera do, on Tuesday, when he equipped himself with a hieh-power rifle and tnmed his automobile in the direction of Buena Vista. From that vicinity a large poeae had been recruited and the Polk county officer aided in the search for the escaped convict an til an early hoar Wednesday morning. Crossing Accidents If any. j It appears from recent investiga tion that folly sixty per real of those State Industrial Accident Commission to Start Campaign. One in every eight of Oregon's workmen employed full time was in jured last year, according to the first report of the State Industrial Acci dent commission just issued. The re port covers the period beginning from the commission's organization, No vember 5, 1H13, to June 30 last. Al though Oregon '8 roll of injured is de clared to be no greater proportionate ly than other states, the commission announces it will institute a state wide accident prevention campaign Stereoptican lectures will be given in the principal towns, and efforts made tor co-operation of employers and em ployes in preventing accidents. Administrative expenses of the commission for the entire period were $70,129.22. For the last year the ad ministration cost was 8.69 per cent of the money bandied. Cost of com pensation for the year was $370,200, of which $61,438 was paid for medi cal aid to injured workmen. Accident claims totaling 4o46 were reported during the year; 71 were fatal. Holman Replies to Bushy. As a result of the prosecution cf twenty-one widows' pension cases in the Marion county court by Glenn O. Holman and Walter L. Tooze, Jr., Judge Bushy, the dignitary of that court, made an attack, through the newspapers, upon the methods of the Dallas barristers. Mr. Holman saw fit to set Judge Bushy on the right track in regard to a number of the points be made in his attack, and the local attorney concludes his interest ing letter with this paragraph, anent "ambulance chasing" of which the judge accused Attorneys Holman and Tooze : "I guess Judge Bushy worked as hard getting votes as I did getting rases. He wanted the job of being judge, and I have the job of making him obey the law while ne is juage. I am done. Let the people await re sults." Space Already Set Aside in Central Location for Fall Land Show. Polk county's exhibit at the coming Manufacturers' & Land Products show in Portland will be centrally lo cated in the great exhibit building and the soil products will be viewed by more than 100,000 people, during the eighteen days t the exhibition will be open.

This year the land show in the state's metropolis will open on Monday, October 25, and close mid night November 13. The show will not remain open Sundays, and exhib itors will have an opportunity to re new perishable exhibits twice during its progress. the counties and communities of the state will make the greatest show ing in their history at this year's ex position, since the Lewis & Clarke fair of 1905. Space in the industrial section is now more than 80 per cent filled and practically everything is taken in the land products division. The best county exhibit will be awarded a gold medal and $200 in cash, and the second best exhibit will receive a silver medal and $100 in cash. The best displays from each county will be awarded prizes ranging from $50 to $100. BULLETIN XI THEN a fellow wants to- bacco satisfaction and finds how he can get it, it's natural for him to put the other fellows next to the Real Tobacco Chew, because a little chew satisfies. Tobacco satisfaction is what he is looking for the smaller the chew it takes, the better it suits him. A little chew of pure, rich, mellow tobacco seasoned and sweetened just enough cuts out so much of the grinding and spitting. ONE CENT A WORD, 'PHONE 19. Medicos to Meet Here.
