Burkhart, of this city, who received word of her new record recently from the officers of the American Jersey Cattle club. Jean Marigold won this record by producing 10,926.5 pounds of milk and 666.24 pounds butter-fat during an official test, when she was 13 years and four months old.

Friday and LSaturday, the state fair was a finan cial success, according to a repu" prepared by J. E. McClintock, cash ier, and submitted to the members of the fair board. -Mr. McClintoek's report snoweu that approximately 140,000 persons paid their way into the grounds during the week, while not less than 10,000 others were admitted on pas ses issued to exhibitors ana em i,r. TVi a cash receipts, total ing $73,200, will leave a surplus of $20,000 when the last bill is p re united and paid. Last year the cash receipts aggregated $75,000. Considering that the weatner , iHool Murine? the entire fair last year the members of the board said that the showing made at this years event was remarkable and fully at tested to the growing popularity of Oregon's greatest agricultural and livestock show. Had good weather prevailed all six days this year, omv.oi-B nf the fair board said that IIIVIUWVAU the surplus would have been boosted to a figure far in excess of $50,000. Following receipts of Mr. mcuun. tock's report, A. H. Lea, secretary of the fair board, said there was yet some ' money to be collected from Portland exhibitors jwhich might swell this year's receipts by $500. In this event the receipts will De nnlv $1000 under those of last year. In connection with the report it was also shown that the cost of staging this vear's fair was approximately 1R r.PT cent ereater than last year, while considerable money was iosi at last week's event through the clos ing of a number of concessions.

Station Report Tells Will it pay the Oregon stockman tn huv un ran ere steers this year to fatten and sell in the general mar ket! The new Experiment station rmort. "Fattening . Stes," will heln him determine this question. Feeding alfalfa hay alone generally does not pay unless the market rises durine the feeding. The cost of the hay is generally greater than the value of the gains, With suage ana nlfAlf hav the rains in six-year tests at the Union branch station were produced at a profit, as they were twice as fast and at half the cost The stock, hay and silage were only average, and the stockmen can do as well as the station.

Nevertheless, we believe it is highly desirable that lowering of prices should be encouraged, and we are therefore anticipating at this time our ability to purchase mater ials at lower figures during the com ing year, to improve labor efficiency and to increase our present volume of business, all with the effect of lowering the production cost of auto mobiles. Existing wage rates will be maintained at all Studebaker plants, which at present are employ ing 15,000 people. The capital and surplus of this corporation are now $75,000,000 and its sales are running at the rate of $100,000,000 per annum."

Tower, and whpn Mr. Tower told him of getting a "close-up" view of the white elk Mr. Thomas' doubts were dispelled. Pa trolman Tower has seen the animal several times before. His last view of the animal wa3 not far from Brewster valley, where lie came un- on the elk at about 15 rods' distance 1 and had a view of several minutes before the animal beat a retreat. Mr. Tower describes this freak as pure white, with a great Spread of antlers, with 11 points on one side and 10 on the other.
