the two organization!. The commit

the other organization in two weeks,

act in the premises. An in?itation
was lip&ttily extended to, bare the

pointing a committee on resolutions,
ooniUtiug of L. B. Hall, J. E. Hair
and Chas. Meserve, the contention
adjourned to meet next year at the
time and place to be designated by
the proper oflioials of the organization.
There was much disapioinuient be
cause a nuuibor of the speakers were
unavoidably prevented from being
present. Dr. El wood Mead, the noted
authority on irrigation laws found he
would have to return to Wellington,
D. 0., from the Sacramento conven
tion, in order to prepare to go to
Australia, where he accepts a big
government position. Governor Cham '
berlaiu's daughter was to be married
this week and so His Hnuor found it
impossible to come to the convention
as a resnult. Hon. K. L. Huiitli, the
Hood River fruit grower whs sick and
had to bo excused. Hon. Wilbur K.
Newell, xiVesideut of the state board
of horticultural board was engaged
ill gathering his big fruit crop and
for lack of bylp he was compelled to
got iu and work tiko a good fellow to
not lime any and he sent word tbut
it would be liupotftihle for him to
come, uulisa Half a dozen men were I
sent tn take his place in the frui
yards. A. I. Matou, the HooU River
apple grower who was to have told
ahnut how he got 3 for apples with
ma imguuou, was mi luting a new
packing house and he too begtitd to
be excused. Numerous busiue'S en
gagouients made it absolutely!1 Unix
sible for Kditor Harvey W. Soolt. of

the convention.

SHOWED THE COLORS.
It was truly gratifying to see how
many busluess houses displayed the
yellow and green. Many more would
have doue so, If they oould possibly
have secured anything with which to
decorate, the supply of bunting,
ribbons and the like was exhausted
early Mouday. However, many who
oould uot seoure the colors, were
bouud to show their patriotism and so
took the Stars and Stripes and thus
made a very nice showiug.
Among the flrun which made such
nice showing! were the following:
Cramer Bros., bad two nice window
displays, cue of sporllug goods and
the other of paints and brushes, with
the fair colors artistically iutarwoveu,
the work of Mr. Oeo. Cramer.
Curtis & Co., the jewelers had an
attractive display, ustag evergreens
aud having a "welcome" greetiug

presented a most pleasing sight to the
people who were thronging Sixth
street aud the artistic exhibition was
certainly vary creditable.
The ladles of the W. G T. U. were
very muoh in evidence and they
thoughtfully provided a rest room for
the strangers, having comfortable
seats, reading matter and everything
to add to the pleasure of the visitors.
It was conveniently located and
greatly appreciated.
The show widows of the large de
partmennt store of Kinney & Truax

the drygoods section being neat and
tasty and that iu the grocery being
unique and attractive.
0. K. Palmer, one of the popular
salesmen of the Southern Oregon

ABOUT THE FAIR
J. D. Young, one of the oldest
prospectors in this neck of the woods
gave a practical demonstration in
front of Calhoun store. He took some
sand from the street and actually
washed out gold to the value of
13.60, mnch to the astonishment and
interest of a big crowd of spectators.
As Calhoun's store is having a big
sale on of the .famous "Nugget" hat,
the find was very timely .
The daily stock parades were de
cidedy interesting and proved to be
quite a revelation to both the visitors
and to the people of this region for
the showing was truly remarkable.
One of the drawing cards for the
baseball game, Thursday, when the
Rosebnrg nine met the home team,
was the excellent niusio furnished by
Riohard aud Pringle'i Famous Min
strel troupe. These people are artists
in their line and they gave a pretty
good article of musio for the large
crowd which gathered to wituess the
exciting game. The home team were
the victors in this game, with a score
of 9 to 4.
A big crowd witnessed the auto
mobile races which occurred Wednes
day, the course being from Kinney
& Trnax's corner to A. U. Bannard's
furniture store and return, a distance
of 200 yards. The following persons
contested : E. S. Shank, who made
the run in 1 minute and 27 seconds;
Thos. Gillmore, 1:27 4-5; E. L.
Churchill 1:30; W. B. Sherman 1:24;
W. M. Hodson, 1 :1.
At the city park the swimming and
bostiug races Wednesday afternoon
was a drawing card and much in
terest was manifested in the out
come. In the men's swimming race
Fred Contain carried off first honors,
getting the 25 prize, while Lawrence
Wellaud and Andy Higgins were a
close second. In the canoe maneuvers,
Henry Norton and Alfred Letcher
wsre winners, getting the pair of
shoes, one of which each man' man
will endeavor to wear (?) In the I
boat races Andy Higgins came iu I
ahead, with Harvey4 Faubion right I
behind him. I
After Tuesday afternoon's session
of the convention, the opera douce
was filed to overflowing to witness
the baby show. There were some i
40 mothers who entered their little '
ones in the contest and the judges j
had a no small task to perform After
much deliberation they finally t
awarded the prize for being the hand
somest girl baby to Stella Wolfolk, i
while Frank Wilcox carried otf the i
honors for beiug the prettiest boy 1
baby nuder two years of age aud '
Frank Marshall, son of Secretary A. j
T. Marshal, of the fair aseocistiou I
was awarded the prize for being the
largest baby nnder two years of age.
Daring the fair excitement two
ho Dos were very cleverey captured by
Sheriff Runsell. Their names were
James Reed aud Frauk Benson and
they picked up Lwis Green's un
checked trunk oa the depot platform,
while he was baying bis ticket and
they carted it off aud were trying to
break the lock, after taking cfT the
ropes aud at laps, when Sheriff RuksxII
pouced down upou them. At first
they were inclined to show fight,
but the big Sheriff soon took them in
tow. Now tbey are io jail aud are
bound over to appear io the circuit
court for trial.
Another item of excitement which
was uot on the fair program was the
alarm of fire which took an immense
crowd to see the home of S. E. Over
street, at Burgess aud Pine streets
burn up, contents and all. The wife
was taking io the fair aud had a but
two little children with her, while
the father was at work at Williams
Bros. Sash A Door factory. There
was no water in that immediate
vicinity and so the fire department
was helpless to stay the flames.

Br JUDSON WELLES.
Copyrighted. 1907, by Homer Sprsgus.
Mornington scowled at the tiny dish
of berries before his plate. Sam, his
dusky man, smiled apologetically.
"Ahm doln' my bes'," he declared.
"Ah shuah would liak to kotch 'em."
"Same here," declased Mornington.
"You don't suppose that the people
next door take them do you, Sam?"
Sam shook a knowing head. The
young Indies, he declared, could not
be guilty of such depredations. Ever
since they had moved In they had fa
vored Snra with sunny smiles as they
passed his yard on the way to the post
otlice. Snm was their secret slave.
With Mornington It was different.
He hud resented the appearance of this
little colony on the next farm. There
were six of them, five girls and an
elderly woman, who apparently chap
eroned them. Gossip said that they

were artists who were spending the
summer in the country to sketch, and
their daily faring forth with easels
and canvases bore out the statement
Mornlneton hated nrtlsts In general
and women artists In purtlculnr. Ho
had bought the Torreuce farm that he
might have quiet, nnd how could a
man have quiet when six chattering
women occupied the adjoining farm
house not 3im foot nway?
The strawberry bods had been the
lnat Irrltntlon. The previous year he
had Vrrles In profusion. This season
there were few to be found. The doz
en or so In the saucer were all Sam
had been able to Rather In a day. ne
was certuln that his neighbors raided
his garden, nnd, without announcing
his Intention to Sam, he rose early the
next morning.
The sun hnd barely risen when he
took his place !ciiiiid the tool house,
whence he could command a view of
the garden. Presently a slender, girl
ish figure came hurrying from the oth
er house nnd entered the plot. Morn
ington waited until she had tilled the
pan she carried nnd was about to go.
Then he stepped out with n hail. The
girl looked up pleasantly.
"t!ood morning,1' she cried. "Won't
you have some of our berries?"
"1 should like some of mine," hesuld
pointedly.
"Io you grow them, too?" she nsked.
Mornington marveled at her self pos
session. "1 grow them," ho usseuted. "or,
rather, olio of Torreuce's men grows
them for me. That is as far as I have
been able to get this season. I have
not eaten many of them."
"We have them every morning." she
Bald briskly. "It's one of the things
we moved to the country for. fresh
fruit. After being cooped up In studios
all season and picking your fruits aud
vegetables off the dumb waiter It is
just heavenly to come out In the gar
den before breakfast and pick your
own berries."
"But don't you think It would be bet
ter to find out whose berries you are
picking?" he suggested. "Even In the
country, property rights obtain."
'These are ours," she declared. "Ws
were very particular In our Inquiries."
"Yet the garden belongi to me." he
Insisted, a little shamefacedly. Some
how his triumph was losing 'its savor.
Then we must have been robbing
ron all this time," she said, with a face
suddenly grown as reU as the berries
In the pan. "i am very sorry."
"It's all right," be said awkwardly
wondering why he had not noticed be
fore what glorious eyes the girl had.
-It Is not all rigM." she said decided
I.v. 'We are not thieves. Dense take
them. u o.n senj the pan back
when you are th-iingti."
"Pray aw;, then, with my couipli-

For answer the girl laid the pan on
the ground and turned awav. Morn
ington watched her go through the
paths to the fence and slip throogo
a broken place. She had the regal j

eance to get acquainted wtfh bet,
and he suddenly realised that that was
the one thing above an others that h
most desired.
Shamefacedly he picked np the pan
and wentback to the house to sand
Sam over with the fruit Sam regard
ed him reproachfully when he had told
his tale, but the darky went down tho
road to the next house and, after a
long delay, returned without the pan,
but he laid a shining half dollar In
Momlngton's palm.
"Dey wouldn't take 'em," he explain
ed. "I shuah had f tnk de money."
Mornington flung the money from
him w Ith a gesture of disgust and went
In to breakfast feeling ont of Joint
with the whole world.
But there was worse yet to come,
for in the forenoon Torrence, former
owner of the farm, made his appear
ance with the chaperon from the
house next door. With many a "hem"
and a "haw" Torrence confessed that
finding a chance to clinch the lease of
the adjoining farm through the straw
berry bed he had told the women that
It was a part of the land they had rent
ed. "I honestly meant to speak to you
about It, because I knew that you had
more berries than you wanted. I was
going to pay for what they ate out of
the rent," he concluded.
Mornington rose to his feet, and
Torrence backed through the door.
More than once he had witnessed the
city man's hasty temper, and he had
no desire for an exhibition.
Mornington watched him go and
then turned to Mrs. Surrey.
"I dont know what I can say to you
to excuse my conduct" he began. "I
missed the breakfast berries and want
ed to put a stop to It, but I did not
know that Torrence had claimed my
berry patch for his own. May I beg
that my apology be the freedom of the
berry patch? There are plenty for us
both. I am not always a bear, so yon
need not be afraid to gather thorn."
When he so wished, Mornington
could be very charming, and now he
was exerting himself to the full. Mrs.
Surrey became graclons, and the up
shot was that Mornington accepted an
Invitation to tea, when he might make
his apology In person to Nancy Rich
mond. So successful was he that the next
momlns' when he went to pick 1:1s own
berries he lingered to help her fill her
pan. The berry season passed all too
quickly, but there were other fruits,
and soon there was a well trodden
path from Momlngton's porch to the
doorway of Studio farm, ne went
with the glifc on field trips, and
In the pleasant summer evenlDgs he
took his guitar and spent the even
ing on their porch.
Nancy remained his favorite, and the
