It U a wise decision. There has been souk tu lk of, !iensiiig with tlis State Fair Vr 1 f o since we are to have a r.ur-ii!onth stretch of the Lewis aud Clark Fair. The State Fair should be one of the main side attractions to the Lewis ami Clark Fair. The State Fair never cover morn tliHii n week's titn. l.-nie Onk track, situated on tiie grounds, is one of the best race tracks west of the Rockies. Iloremen are in the habit of bringing their strings to ihh track for training and races of national interest may be provided for there, next fall. There is uo other track in the Northwest that compares with Lone Oak. to which visitors to Oregon next year may be in vited. The State Fair is over half a century old. During al most the entire existence of the state, people have not been de prived of a Stilts Fair in the fall. Tender memories cling to it an nual recurrence and no break should be made now. The State Fair should really be treated as an important auxiliary to the Lewis and Cl..ik I'.n'r, and ih latter will be lie!;, to the Stnit Fair. There is uo use for any hesitation on the part of the Board of Agriculture about get- tins' ud au exhibit. With the o t exception of individual county exhibits, which will go to the Lewis and Clark Fair, the best display of Oregon's products in the history of the State Fair should be displayed. It is not the purpose of the people who are giving half a million dollars to the Lewis and Clark Fair that visitors from the east shall be penned up in Portland They are coming to see Oregon. They will want to visit the Cap ital of the state and once at the Capital they will want to see Polk county just across the river. And every visitor to Oregon is entitled to see Polk the county that holds the blue ribbon over all others of the state in competition for the best showing, of products. Oregon has many attractions, but it will be a mistake if excursions are not arranged for out of Portland through Polk county and to the State Fair, during the Lewis and Clark Fair next year.

WAD & CO CO. A Polk County Cotswold Sheep Franklin Pierce Mays has been indicted by the federal grand jury for complicity with Puter, McKinley, Emma Watson and Marie Ware in a conspiracy to defraud the government out of public lands. Mr. Mays is state senator-elect from Multnomah county. He had served one term before and baa also served as United States district attorney for Oregon. Until the land fraud investigation came op he was a prominent candidal for presi dent of the senate. Mr. Mays is best known in legislative circles as author of th Mays law which provides that at a general elec tion preceding a senatorial elec tion, th voters may indicate their choice for a United States senator for guidance of members of the legislators. AfUr the law Fopular demand is the ulti mate source of good law; popu lar indifference the source of had law. How glad printers are that Christmas comes on- Sunday. Don't have to miss a day. Salem has discovered that gra vel don'i make streets. Some thing new every day. Readers of Polk county will miss the advertisements of Dr. Darrin. In a minute analysis of the Nan Patterson case, the Salem Statesman has discovered that you can spell "Nan" backwards as well as forwards. If the Lewis and Clark state commision does not give every county a fair shake, it can take its exhibit to the State Fair at Salem. Cut politics out and organize the legislature on a business basis for the benefit of the people, once. A Little War There was quite a war on the Dick Kigor farm at Corvalhs Sua day night. Klger is reported to have removed the wire from the Bell poles to the Independent poles running on his farm, and' then the Bell people moved them back, when Kiger again came to the front. Some of the Bell people went to Albany, secured a big sup ply of shooting arms and returned to the Kiger farm, but affairs were settled down and the trouble ceas ed for awhile. The Bell people eay tbey have a written contract with Kiger which gives them the right to the poles and wire, and it may take the cour's to settle matters. .
