DEATH OF
WM.TIGARD
BODY CANNOT BE FOUND.
Letter from Free" Gault Giving
Particular, ef the See"
Acoldent.
Fell
Following is a copy of a letter re
ceived bv C. F. Tieard from Fred
Gualt giving particulars about the
drowning ot his son Willie:
Saskatoon, Canada, Aug. 1 6.
Dear Charles Your telegram re
ceived this morning.
We have not found Willie yet
Have had the river dragged for
miles in the vicinity of the place,
where he went down. But the cur
rent is so strong that he may be ten
miles away, and then again be might
go into a hole, and be covered with
sand and never be found, as there
are lots of them in the river.
We are going to take a boat and
go down the river but have no hopes
of finding him until the ninth day,
and maybe not then.
The way it happened: We went
down to the river Sunday alternoon
to fish. Ada and the children were
along.
Willie and I thought we would
take a bath before fishing so in we
went.
The water was very shallow not
up to our knees. And we began to
wade out into the stream.
I was seventy-five orighty feet
j A .
up the river irom mm. adu ne
said to me that when we got to a
sand bank out in the river, that he
would run me a foot race. I said
alright, but told him to be careful
and feel every step he took. ' He
said alright, but thought it was al
right and that we could lead the
pony across and go to Druelurm, a
town across the river. Just as ne
said this down he went. I saw him
go in so I started to him just a he
came up.
I told him to put one hand on me
and to keep cool and not get scared,
but he made a grab and caught me
around the right arm and waist and
then we were both helpless and we
went down together. God! I
thought we never would get to the
bottom, but when we did, I began
to strangle, and began to try to get
loose from his grip, which was like
a vice. How I got loose I'll never
know. I went to the top, and was
so full oi water that I went down
right away, but did not go so far,
and when I came up, I began to
try to get ashore, but was so weak
that I didn't stay up long, and start
ed to go down, when just as the
water was to my chin my feet
touched bottom and I crawled out,
so weak I could not walk.
When I got so I could' move,
went and got some men and they
searched till dark but it was no use,
we could not find him.
I will write to you again next
week. Vours,
Fred Gault
C. F. Tigard arrived home from
Saskatoon Canada August 29, where
he had been for the past two week:.
helping in the search for the body
of his son, but they could find no
trace of him and had to come home
without him. It is thought he was
washed in a hole and covered with
sand. Willie Heard was a very
highly respected young man, and
loved by all who knew him, he had
a bright sunny disposition and was
never so happy as when doing good
toothers. He will be sadly missed
as he was the light ot Tigardvilte
when at home.
There is a cloud over the hearts
of the people of Tigard ville and you
can hear the expression on every
hand, ''Oh what will we do without
Willie."
Mr. C. F. Tigard and family have
the sympathy of their many friends
and acquaintances.

Aa Important Gathering.
Spokane, Wash. Aug 28. One
of the most important movements
ever started in the Pacific northwest
I ii the convention which has been
called to meet in Spokane, Sept. 23,
during the Spokane Interstate lair,
to which all the commercial bodies
in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
Montana have been invited to send
delegates. G. B. Dennis, chairman
of the publicity committee ot the
Chamber of Commerce and Theo
dore R. Wilcox, chairman of the
executive committee of the Portland
Commercial club have issued the
call, which has been widely publish
ed by the press in the Pacific north
west. Many of the leading com
mercial bodies already have signi
fied their intention of sending dele
gates and to assist in every way
possible with the work. The call
says: 1 ne purpose 01 wis gamer
ing is to bring together the repre
sentative men of the most prosper
ous section of the United States, and
after a thorough consultation, unite
upon a plan to advertise the actuai
resource, and not exploit the pecu
liar advantages of any of the cities
Everv citv and town in the tour
states is equally inteiested in secur
. - - - j
ing the home builder, for it is only
through increased population that
we can develop these tremendous
resources."
The railroads will grant low rates
to all delegates. Oan line of work
for the convention will be to take
steps to induce the legislature for
the four states interested to make
appropriations for advertising the
northwest.
It is a common saying that there
is no chance for a boy to become a
great merchant nowadays, because
times have changed and opportuni
ties do not exist. There have been
comparatively few great merchants
at any time in the past, for that mat-
ter. The fault aoes not lie in mat
there are no opportunities, for there
are just as many as there ever were;
but in the fitct that there is only one
man in a thousand or so who has
within himself the ability to become
a great merchant. Oregon Trades
man. In a report to the state auditor
concerning the accounts ot tne
wrecked Milwaukee Avenue state
bank of Chicago, Bank Examiner
ones estimates the total defalcations
through President Stensland's man
ipulations at $1,000,000. He con
siders it one of the most remarkable
examples of concealing banking
frauds. Notwithstanding these ex
tensive thefts through forgeries,
Stensland was able to keep the books
absolutely straight so as to throw
all suspicion off the track. The
bank examiner asserts that Cashier
Herring perjured himself to the ex
tent of more than a quarter of a
million dollars in swearing to the
January and April statements. The
22,000 depositors have held a mass
meeting and formed an organization
to defend their rights. Another
suicide has been credited to this
failure. Edward Kollerob, who had
lost all his savings and was without
means to support his family, killed
himself at his home.
Ten thousand dollars is appro
priated annually by the state of Ore
gon, not for the maintenance of the
fair, but for premiums awarded on
live stock, horticulture, agriculture;
manufacturing and works of art.
The premiums offered by the board
in the several classes compare fav
orably with fairs in the East whose
magnitude is much greater than
ours, bpecial attention ha Wn
paid to the above departments, and
competent superintendents have
been selected to manage the same.
Hay is furnished free to all live stock
entered for premiums. The speed
department is one of the greatest
attractions. No other course can
boast of as good a program. Ten
thousand dollars is given in early
closing stages, this being the larg
est amount ever offered in the
Northwest. More high class horses
are entered for these races than in
any previous years. Twenty acres
with the "Majestic Oaks" furnish-
I ing the shade, is set apart for camp.

There is now chauce for the
city of Hillsboro to own its own
park, and if the matter is taken up
at once and pushed, the thing is
done. No one questions but this
city should have a park and the
time to get is no, lor never again
can land be purchad lor what it is
now offered.
J. W. Shute, the banker, has
made a proposition to the city coun
cil to let them have the land ad
joining the Southern Pacific rail
way, just north of the track near
Fifth street, for $1,600 to be used
for a park. He propose to allow
the city the use of the land tor this
purpose with the understanding
that it is improved and beautified,
providing the city ' pays the taxes
and the cost of improving. As
soon as the city chooses to pay the
amount asked for the land, with
the addition of 6 per cent interest,
a deed will be given to the city.
The council will visit the pro
posed park today at 2 o'clock for
the purpose of looking over the site
and decide on what is to be done.
Mayor Cornelius wants everybody
interested to go with the council
today as it depends on the citizens
whether Mr. Shute's offer will be
accepted. A large number of our
people should attend this meeting
on the grounds. We need a park
and now is the time to get it. Re

It is built and operated for this use,

an organ, phonograph and other

Religious services are held each
evening at 7:30 except Saturday.

The Sunday services are to be in the

Japan Farmers.
Straw which Ameriau farmers
throw away Japan farmers would
utilize.
Whatever grows or passes to de
cay is of value to him, he managing j
to get along and be happy aud con
tented on very little.
One who is the possessor of a
horse and cart is considered to be
wealthy. It seems very odd to us,
but most of the horses belonging to
the farmers wear shoes made of rice
straw, even the clumsiest horses.
A farmer taking goods to market
will take extra shoes with him to re-
s ioe the horse in the event of one
pair wearing out. The shoes are
tied around the ankle with straw
rope made ot rice straw, braided so
that they form a sole for the foot
about half an inch thick.
The average shoe usually lasts
about eight miles of travel.
In Japan in former times it was
usual to measure the distance by
the number of shoes it took to cover
the distance. The horse's hat and
harness is also made of the rice
straw.
They are to poor to buy harness
like American farmers would have.
The farmers wear shoes, hats, and
raincoats made of rice straw.
The Japanese farmer usually
dwells in a comfortable, inviting,
faultlessly clean home, without a
particle of dust or dirt.
The transparent paper walls of
his house, made of bark from the
mitsu-mata shrubs, floods his dwel
ling with light and keeps out the
wind.
He enjoys good food served tn
dainty but inexpensive dishes made
of native woods,
Even in the houses of the poorest
there are no signs of poverty
There is no squalor in agricultural
Japan. The humblest peasant far
mer is clean, industrious and com
fortable. The area of fence corners
abandoned on many American farms
to wild mustard, pig weed, etc..
would furnish a comfortable living
to a Japanese farmer.
In Japan, when a Japanese farm
er permits a telegraph pole to be
erected on his land, he has made a
great concession to modern reform.
Only the exceedingly rich have
fences around their farms. Not be
cause of the cost of the lence, but

If a border is required it is custom

THOUSANDS WILL
GO TO THE FAIR
SALEM, SCPT.IOth TO 16th.
Th. Coming Annual State Fair Sure
te Be the Create at in Ita Hia
terylmmenae Attendance.
Never before in the history of the
Oregon State Board of Agriculture
have so many people signified their
intention to attend the annual dis
play. Never before have so many
concessions been granted so long in
advance. From over all the state
comes the word that the 45th annual
exhibition which opens September
towill find more people present on
opening day than on any opening
day in its history.
The friendly rivalry that is found
at our fairs is a great incentive that
urges and induces the variousbreed
ers and producers to make the at
tempt to excel in their particular
lines of industry.
The Oregon State Fair, which
will be held at Salem September 10
to 15, inclusive, has ceased to be a
mere place of amusement only, and
has assumed the air of an education
al institution, while at the same
time there will be found sufficient
amusement of an innocent nature,
together with an auditorium in
which each night will be given lec
tures, vocal and instrumental mus
ic, impersonators, up-to-date mov
1
ing pictures; in tact, a modern the-'
ater.'
There is, however, a growing in
terest in the Statefair. Exhibitors
are taking hold in earnest, and from
all directions words ol encourage
ment are received and a large at
tendance is assuted.
The entries in the livestock de
partment this year will exceed those
of former years. Notwithstanding
the management has provided extra
stalls and pens, there will be a short
age. The poultry section of the
fair has increased very rapidly, and
to meet the demands of this section
some changes are necessary.
The dairy department this year
will be of unusual interest, and is
now crowded to its full capacity.
In connection with this department
there will be daily demonstrations
of a modern application for milking
mechanically, science having per
fected a practical machine which
does the work perfectly.
Racing promises to excel all
previous years. All races (both
harness and running) are well filled
with horses that have records that
will meet the demand of the most
critical.
Thursday. September 13, has
been set aside as . Portlaud day at
the fair, when excursion trains
will be so operated from the city as
to permit of a visit to the fair with

sufficient tlma to view all the exhi
bits and not be 1 ihed. A special
rate ot $1.50 for the round trip, in
cluding entrance to the grounds,
has been made by the Southern
Pacific Company.
The State fair management has
at its disposal for premiums in the
various departments $25,000, of
which Jfio.ooo is a state appropria-
tiou, and this amount is far too
small to meet the growing demands.
Several departments of the State
fair are very much in need of en
couragement. The ed ucational sec
tion is sadly neglected, especially
that of schools. The exhibit of
work of the high schools would be
of great value, as was shown by the
display in connection with the Lew
is and Clark Exposition, where this
particular section was eagerly
sought by the patrons of the various
schools throughout the state aud
was of much interest to all.
According to published state
ments, the figures here given repre
sent the average wages paid school
teachers in some of the counties ot
Oregon. This item will no doubt
be read with interest by teachers and
school patrons generally: Benton,
$33.98; Coos, 40.S5; Douglas, $37.

06. George W. Trefen, a well-known
Ashland attorney, had a narrow call
while lost in the brush at the head
of Rogue river during last week.
He was camped with his family in
the Crater Lake reserve, and went
to hunt a horse which had strayed
away from camp. He lost the trail
and wandered through the brush for
five days, during which time he had
but a handful of berries and one
frog to eat. A searching party
found him lying exhausted on the
bank of Red Blanket creek, ten
miles from where he started.
