BURKHART TO SELL 1
, CHAMPION JERSEY HERD
Albany Jean Marigold of St.
Mawes, champion Jersey butter-fat
cow of the world for her age, be
longs to Robert W. 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. She is
now in her sixteenth year but does
not look half ber age. Her sire was
Melia Ann's Golden Wolseley (sire
of St. Mawes) and her dam was
Jean Marigold, who produced 20
pounds of butter in seven days.
Mr. Burkhart. who owned and de
veloped this world's champion,
thereby adding another to the many
honors won by Oregon Jerseys, has
been a prominent Jersey breeder for
years. He was formerly president
and for several years has been a
leader of the Oregon Jersey Cattle
club. ' 1 :
He recently sold Maple Lawn
Place, his model stock farm just
east of this city, and expects to sell
his splendid Jersey herd October 13
and retire from the stock business.
Though he expects to sell the re
mainder of his herd he will retain
Jean Marigold of St. Mawes for his
family cow.
Salem-Despite the heavy rains
which materially reduced the at
Thursday. 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.

In the announcement reducing
prices on cars, the Studebaker cor
poration says:
"After careful sumy vi v.. --x:.-
i(rliiric the probabilities
of the future, we have reduced the
prices of Studebaker cars, I. o. o.
t, follows: Special six
touring, $1,750, a reduction of $l-o,
special six coupe, $2,6&0, special
jnn S9.750. and bi six touring,
$2,150, being a reduction of $200
each.
Tfco Rtnrlohaker business has been
built up during the past sixty-eight
the nolicy of large pro
motion and small per centage of
profit. We believe that the recent,
and rapid decline in prices of many
commodities and raw materials pres-
age lower prices ior uiue j"
reduced, and of course, mamnactur
ed products of all kinds, which are
highly desirable if production is to
be sustained and unemployment
avoided this winter. Our plants
have operated at full capacity all
year, and are doing so today, and we
now have on hand unfilled orders
for over 6000 cars, fhis over-sold
condition has been constant with
us ever since the war ended, and our
production, Sales and profits for the
first nine months of this year great
ly exceed totals for the full year of
1919. 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."

North Bend J. M. Thomas, chief
fire warden for the Coos County
Fire Patrol association and formerly
deputy game warden for several
years, was a doubting Thomas when
his game deputies and later one of
his fire patrolmen told him of the
presence of a big white bull elk in
the territory between the Tioga
country and Brewster valley. Stor
ies of this animal have been comine
to Mr. Thomas for the last five or
six years and he ridiculed them as
dreams induced by sleeping in the
open.
But he has one warden he stakes
much on J. D. 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. Mr. Tower was
close enough to make out that the
tips of the antlers for some distance I
were of a high polish and resembled !
ivory, lhe animal is one of the
largest of the 40 or CO elk ran trim?
in the Tioga country.
Mr. Tower a few Vfnra arm

sought a permit from the ntat.o war
den's office to kill the white elk,
but the requirements for its disposal
did not suit hirn, and so the animal
is still alive.
