NEWS FROM COUNTY SEAT
Court House Notes.
Portland, Or., July 12-An ap
ple show that will reach big pro
portions has been determined on
for Portland. The first such ex
hibit will be held in November
and it is expected to have the
entire state represented in a way
never before attempted. The
Commercial Club, businessmen
and hotel men's association have
all entered heartily into the pro
ject at the instance of the Oregon
State Horticultural Society, which
proposes to celebrate its quarter
centennial this Fall by inaugu
rating a big annual apple fair
that is expected to grow with
each passing year until it attains
proportions where it will attract
national interest.
Oregon, in addition to an effi
cient state militia, is to have an
organization of Naval Reserves
Steps have already been taken to
form such an organization, which
will maintain the same relation
to the navy in the time of war
that the malitia dqes to the army
Ex-navy men and others in
terested formed a temporary or
ganization at Portland during the
nast week.' This will be made
permanent as soon as possible
Hibernians from all over the
United States will visit Portland

estimated that no less than 20,000
people from all parts of the.
country will come to Portland at
that time, attracted by the con
vention and the favorable rates
made on account of it. Oregon
has a chance to impress itself
favorably upon this great number
of people and there is no doubt
it will make the utmost of the
opportunity.
Willamette Valley dairymen are

one of the greatest experts in
dairying in the world, when

the arrangements indicate this
year's show will be more suc
cessful than ever. The fair will

A friend of the Herald gives
the following account of a visit
to the farm of Robert Channey:
A recent visit to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Robert Channey, a
mile Southwest of town, besides
affording much pleasure from the
bounteous hospitality, was a
source of much information.
It was news to us that we have
the only one of its kind in Ore
gon meaning the new accommo
dations Mr. Channey has installed
for his dairy herd. The floor is
constructed of concrete with
water trough and drain so that
the whole can be flooded. The
stalls and stanchions are of steel,
the yokes only having wood on
the inner surface. The yokes are
adjustable at the top and bottom
so as to turn at any angle, and
to fit any sized animal.
The herd is mostly high-bred
grades being headed by a full
blood Jersey bull, registered,
whose dam holds the champion
record for 2-year olds for milk
vield.
The farm contains one hundred
acres all of which is yielding
abundantly. Besides the new
barn. Mr. Channey has made
other improvements since taking
the place two years ago.
We liftened to hear the table
groan when we saw it, for there
was'n't a spot another dish of
jroodies could have been squeezed
on, but "there were somewhat less
on it an hour afterward when we
had all eaten to repletion.
