The clans of the hammer has
been heard for many months at the
fair grounds. Under the magic
sway of an army of workmen, old,
dilapidated shacks and barren wastes
have vanished, and in their place
new and sightly buildings have a
risen, aud green lawns have appear
ed, as il by an enchanter's touch
The row of shacks and stands,
candy stores and lunch counters,
which formerly faced the main pa
vilion, has been entirely distroyed
The dairy building which stood
near the walk from the entrance
gate, has been moved uortheast, so
that it now stands across the way
from the pavilion. Between the
dairy building and the pavilion an
expanse of green lawns and flower
beds, with beautiful statues and
fountains, will greet visitors at the
1907 fair.
The refreshment stands and side
shows will have a place, but they
will be restricted to a space lying
east of the pavilion. IfereXhey wiil
be grouped around three sides of a

where the visitor was compelled to
walk behind the animals, the point
of view being far from advantageous
and the danger of toiling the clothes
imminent. In the swine depart
ment one pleasing feature is the
judging arena in the center of the
building. By a system of gates
and runways every pen can be con
nected with this arena, and all dan
ger of escape is eliminated. For
merly it was necessary to take the
animal out ot the pen, and frequent
ly the captive broke away and
caused a lively chase around the
grounds.
The old stand for the judging of
stock which served its purpose well
but which In the new order of
things would be useless, has been
built into the goat barn. The
poultry building has been turned
half way around, toface the main
walk to the livestock department,
It will also be enlarged and remodel
ed. Thus the dairy building
poultry building and livestock
barns, which would naturally be
visited together, are all in couven
ient and uniform positions.
These are only a few of the
changes taking place at the fai
grounds. Minor improvements are
being made everywhare. To get a
complete idea of what Oregon s
great fair will be the reader must
visit the grounds for himself.
Why not attend the fair, Septetn

Farmers in New Jersey state that
never before have they known help
to be so scarce as at present. They
claim their predicament is worse
than that of the glass manufacturer,
as the latter is about to run hort-
banded, while they can not harvest
without help.
Much produce has already been
lost and the outlook is that in a
month from now vegetables of every
kind will waste in the field, while
in the market the highest prices
will be paid.
The lack ot help is chiefly due to J

The Weather.
Nearly normal temperatures pre
vailed during the week. There
were no hot spells nor any cold
nights. The afternoous ' in the
Willamette valley and in the north-
eastern counties were sli?htlv
warmer than last week, but else
where throughout the . state there
was scarcely any change from the
temperature conditions of the pre
ceding week.
One or two days light thunder-
showers occurred in the foothills of
the Blue and Cascade ranges of
mountains, but no rain of conse
quence fell in the cultivated valleys
ot the state, and the soil is getting
dry and the roads are becomine
very dusty. Owing to the protract
ed dry spell a number of small for
est fires have started and the atmos
phere in the Willamette valley has
become slightly smoky. There has
been an abundance of sunshine.

ed the sentiments which he has uttered
on ttie subject ol the duty of a public
servant to the people cannot escape the
responsibility There is more than the
mere honor going with this high office
of the president. When the people
choose a man to serve them in this high
ollice, it is for them to say when hit ser

Jess so! Jess so! When a man
wants to let it I known that he has ar

the people ideal citizen-hip necessitates
strict obedience to the sovereign will ol
the people."
Thus our hero, with the striped waist
coat and the tanbark, senatorial slip
pers insinuates that he knowt what
ideal citizenship means and that he,
too, is an ideal citizen. He is a tender
hearted man. He feels for Teddy. But
before all el. e, lie is a patriot a stern

Washington County Ponoma
Grange Adopts Resolution.
The following Tualatin special is
taken from The Oregonian of July
28:
A meeting of Washington county
Ponoma Grange was held at Tuala
tin on July 34, last. Although this
is a very busy time for the farmers,
the attendance was good, even if a
majority of those present were lad
ies. Mrs. Clara II. Waldo, lectur
er of the State Grange, gave a most
excellent address, which added
much to make the meeting both
profitable and pleasant to all who
were in attendance.
Two resolutions were introduced
and adopted, as follows:
Whereas, The National Grange,
the State Grange and many subor
dinate granges, as well as the peo
ple at large, have demanded the en.
actment of a parcels post law, and
Whereas, Those who are our re
presentatives in congress have so far
taken no action to grant this just
demand of the people for relief from !
the extortions of the different ex
press companies; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the only way to
obtain this much-needed relief is to
demand from every man who may
become a candidate for congressman
or United States senator, irrespec
tive of party, a positive pledge that
he will, if elected to this responsi
ble office, work for and vote for the
enactment ol a parcels post law.
Whereas, Under our present mode
of assessment and taxation much
valuable property is either not tax
ed at all or does not pay its proper
and just share of taxes; therefore be
it
Resolved, That Washington
County Pomona Grange indorses
the action of the State Grange in
appointing a committee of five to
investigate our assessment and tax
ation laws and to create a public
sentiment demanding that couuty
assessors use their full powers to as
sess all private and corporate wealth
at a just and uniform rate. And be
it further
Resolved, That, in this connec
tion, we especially commend the ac
tion of the Washington county as.
sessor in assessing the valuable tim
ber lands of the county, which have
heretofore borne but a small share
of the tax burden, thereby adding a
large amount (about 4,000,000) to
the taxable property of this county.

Bay City. Or., July ) People
of Tillamook couuty, in the imme
diate vicinity of Bay City, had a
greater amount of curiosity satisfied
Saturday afternoon than the inhabi
tants of any other section of the
state. The occassion was the arriv
al of the barge Wallacut, which
contained materials for the new rail
road. Among the numerous things
on the barge were the locomotive
tender, ten-foot cars, a steam shovel
and enough rails to cover six miles
of track. There were also about 75
men aboard the Wallacut for the
various construction and grading
camps in this vicinity. Various ar
ticles were in the cargo, such as dy
namite, spikes, bolts, tools, hand
cars and even hay and straw for the
work animals.
It was a great sight for many of
the old-timers oi this section of the
country. Many had never seen a
locomotive outside of a magazine,
and even the old-fashioned machine
to be used for construction pur-
poses aroused a great amount of in
terest.
The Wallacut, towed by the tug
Samson, was sighted outside the
bar a little before noon, and the
news spread rapidly over the coun
try that the long expected barge
was coming. Idle spectators filled
the wharf long before the hour of
arrival. The Wallacut lay over the
bar until 3 o'clock, when it was
changed to the tug Geo. R. Vos
burg and arrived in at about 4
o'clock.
Unloading will begin at once, ard
it is expected that it will take at
least two weeks to finish. A tem
porary track has been constructed
out to the wharf and the engine and
cars will be unloaded directly onto
the track.
Much grading has already been
completed hereabouts and, with
The story. of a man who tried to
be a grafter and failed is told by
James Hooper in the August Mo
Clure's. Sorry as we are for the
mau, who started out with some
splendid visiou of reconstructing
the Arabian Nights era as a second
Ali Baba, and descended to merely
holding down his job, like any plain
American citizen, at the incidental
sacrifice ot his life, the optimistic
satire of the writer appeals to us
greatly. This is one of the strong
est stories James Hooper has ever
written, and sheds an absolutely
new light on the psychology of the
white man in the black man's coun
try. Some neoule are in business bo
