Oregon Industry League To
Back State Industrie!
SALEM CHERRY PAIR JUNE 25 26 27
Oregon Out-of-Doors Lite Dis
play a Feature of Panama
Pacific Exposition
Portland, Ore., June 23.
A new organization, The Oregon
Industry League, has recently
been formed in Portland, the ob
ject of which is to conduct an
educational campaign for the ex
tension of the use of Oregon
made Roods of all kinds, for the
encouragement of all lines of in
dustry in this state and for the
moral and financial backing of
all Oregon institutions. L Sam
uel, for many years prominent as
a leader on the movement for the
support of Oregon industries, has
been elected president of the
organization. The campaign will
be carried on through publica
tions in the state, and the league
may in time establish an official
publication of its own. Meetings
of all kinds, where the league
can properly send its speakers
will be covered and all large con
ventions in the state will be at
tended by its delegates. Twenty
dne leading civic and commercial
organizations of the city and
state sent delegates to assist in
the establishment of the new
league and it is to bring to its
assistance practically every or
ganization of importance in the
state.
A prominent feature of the
Panama-Pacific Exposition will
be an extensive Oregon out-of-doors
life display to cost approxi
mately $10,000. An area 60x350
feet between the Oregon build
ing and the bay shore has been
secured by the Orgeon Commis
sion and contracts have been let
for the initial work. This feature
will be unique at the Exposition,
nothing of the sort being at
tempted by any other state. One
of the most interesting features
will be a miniature reproduction
of 200 miles of the Columbia
River, showing fisheries, night
signals, rapids and waterfalls.
This realistic bit of scenery will
' extend approximately 60 feet.
In addition, it is announced that
a reservation of 7,000 square feet
has been made for Oregon m the
palaces of horticulture, agricul
ture and food products.
Wm. Tallman, of Baker, presi
dent of the Cattle and Horse
Breeders' Association of Oregon,
has advised O. M. Plummer,
manager of the Pacific North
west Livestock Association, that
an important meeting of his
society will be held in Portland
during the livestock show at the
Union Stockyards next ' Fall.
Stock raisers from all over the
Northwest will be expected to
attend this convention.
One of the prominent features
of the Salem Cherry Fair, to be
held June 25-26-27, . will be an
electrical parade the last night
of the show. There will probably
be ten floats in line, all gorgeously
decorated and illuminated. An
other interesting feature will be
a street dance led by King King"
and Queen Ann and which will
be participated in by the Cherri
ans and the Royal Rosarians of
Portland.
The Secretary of the Interior
has designated a tract of 284,000
acres of land in Oregon for entry
under the enlarged homestead
law. Most of these lands lie in
the Deschutes and John Day
river basins.
The first freight vessel to be
towed through the Panama Canal
was the Grace liner Santa Clara,
carrying a cargo of Pacific Coast
products, SX) per cent of which
was loaded at Portland, nearly
all of which will be discharged
at New York. The vessel is com
paratively new, this being her
third trip to the Pacific Coast
Has a Long Name
A gentleman of color, a Hay
tian missionary, lecturer and
traveler, by the name of D. J.
H. A. Z. (Alphabet) Swackhan
ner, called at the Herald office
Wednesday to use a type-writer
for a short time as he is unable
to write English and he desired
to write a letter to President
Ackerman. He begged a like
favor at the bank, but as he was
a big, husky looking fellow," and
not the most prepossessing look
ing person in the world, Banker
Powell thought, proper to keep
him on the outside, and phoned
the Herald office to inquire after
his sanity.
Well, he was rather excited as
he had been on the same train
that carried many of the school-
mams to Monmouth and their
overflow of jubilance seems to
have rested heavily upon him,
and beside this he was very much
put out by the manner and style
of dress that the women wear,
and he thinks that a man should
cover his face with his hands
when he sees a woman coming
toward him wearing hobble
skirts, split skirts or peek-a-boo
"sleeves."
. Wedding Bells
On Tuesday evening, of last
week, at 9:30 o'clock, Miss Ellen

Dallas, the ceremony taking
place at Dallas and being per
formed by ReV. Geo. H. Bennett

Dallas where Mr. Rice holds a

this city Wednesday evening of
last week at -the Evangelical
parsonage when Miss Laura Conk
ey, of this place, and Richard
Webster, of Dallas, were mar
ried, Rev. Fisher officiating.
Only a few relatives of the bride
were present After the wed
ding the happy couple left for
Newport for a short stay after
which ' they will be at home in

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL NOTES
Summer Session Opened Last
, Monday Morning
EVERY COUNTY BUT TWO REPRESENTED
First. Week Closes With An
Enrollment of 415 May
Reach 450
. The summer session of the
Oregon Normal School opened
Monday with an enrollment of
353, and closes the first week
with an enrollment of 415, an
increase of 125 over the total
enrollment in the summer session
of last year. The probabilities
are that the total enrollment will
reach 450, and the outlook is that
there wll be a scarcity of rooms,
and it is hoped that every per
son in Monmouth that can spare
a room will do go, and report the
same to the President. We are
particularly anxious to take good
care of every student who wishes
to take advantage of the summer
school. Monday was taken up
in enrollment and classification,
and the regular class work be
gan Tuesday morning without a
hitch, and the spirit and attitude
of the student body is all that
could be desired . -Every county
in the State except Lake and
Curry are represented. One of
the features of the summer
school will be the attendance of
some sixteen rural supervisors
who will be present at least a
part of the time and discuss
matters pertaining to their work.
The faculty will tender a recep
tion Saturday night to the stu
dent body and members of the
alumni who may be living near
by. This event is the first one
of the session, and promises to
be a very interesting one.
The members of the faculty
mostly spent their vacations in
Monmouth, Miss Hoham and
Miss West went to Newport,
Miss Parrott to Portland, Miss
Todd spent a few days visiting
friends in the country, and Mr.
and Mrs. Butler were a day or
