Grants Pass can doubtless boast of more players of the classical game of chess, In proportion to population, than any other place on earth.

(From our Special Correspondent.) j There was the usual delay getting the displays from the different parts of the district In place, nnd it was not before Wednesday afternoon that things took form nnd shape. The new $10,(11)0 unfinished four-story concrete Klks' building is crowded to overflow with as fine a collection of fruits and vegi tables as were ever brought together in Oregon. Visitors were surprised nnd pleased with the grand aggregation of the best pro ductions of the Kogue Ulver valley and many persons who attended the state fair say that the exhibits here excel in every respect those shown at Salem, and it Is a common thing to hear strangers say that the fruit and vegetable showing Is simply mar velous. AU sections of the district are represented nnd the quality In each case s ;v credit to the exhibitor. It was a showing of apples, pears, peaches and, seemingly, nil other kinds of fruit together with mam moth vegetables, which make up the show. Josephine county Is represented bv a good showing of fruits nnd vege tables, nnd by a very creditable ex hibit In the women's department. On Thursday nwnrds were made on fruits and vegetables nnd Josephine county secured first and 20 sec ond prizes, nmong them being the mammoth squash from the Ttlggs' farm, nnd the seven (llorla Mundi apples, exhibited by J. C. Calhoun, which took $7.50 In prizes. The awards In the women's department were not made until Friday. The management of the fair have derided to extend the fair a day longer, therefore, the exhibits from Josephine county will not be return ed until Sunday. Inhibitors will be able to secure their property Mon day nnd any exhibit not railed for will be taken to the Comercial Club for exhibition purposes.

Well.it Is over at last, that long- ; talked of hunting trip of Russell and Horning and the only thing to show jus that it really happened ia the sad expression on the faces of these j gentlemen and tho weary, lagging footsteps the day after. This Is 'what was going to happen according to the boys: There was to be a chef, a physician, a taxidermist, secretary 'and an Indian guide. (The guide was ! the only fine needed, apparently.) Then there was to have been bear dogs ready for them when they reached their destination, and there was nlso supposed to be some game, hut it failed to put In an appearance. What really did happen was this: jF. W. Russell, Herman Homing and iUoss riumley left Grants Pass at 11 I o'clock Tuesday evening for the forks of Jacks creek, nnd tramped all day Wednesday In search of game. Mr. I'lumley saved the reputation of the party by killing a deer. Herman did not see even a bear hide over a stump to shoot at, but Russell got a digger squirrel and has its tail to prove It. This is the way it hap pened: He was wearily making his way through the sage brush when jhe heard something sounded like a great big buck and he raced after it and arrived In the opening Just In time to see a digger. Russell kill ed the digger just for spite. The taxidermist was not greatly lu de mand this time and if the services of n doctor were needed at all It was for sore feet or possibly for Injured feelings. The boys returned home Wednes day evening, tired but happy, and de- dare they had the time of their lives nnd we believe it. Maybe they will go ngaln next year. We will try and have some gnme staked out for them. South Ilond Chilled Plows can't be heat for light running and turn ing the soil. Sold only by Ilalr Ulddle Hardware Co.

Opdycke went to Savage rapids on a fishing and hunting expedition. Everything was all right until they started home after dark and the horse got on the wrong road and ran into a ditch, throwing the gentle men out. Both Mr. Bartlett and Mr. Opdycke were badly bruised and slightly stunned. The horse partly atoned for his blunder by waiting for the gentlemen to recover and climb back Into the vehicle, after which he proceeded leisurely on his way home. It seems ns though this is an un lucky time of the year for Mr. Op dycke to fish. Only a few days ago he was angling down Rogue river and had succeeded In landing a nice string. While eating his lunch a boy came near and admiring the fish told how he had tried all the morning to catch one for his mother, who was 111, but had failed. Now Mr. Op dycke, being naturally large hearted, picked out his finest fish and wltb a choky feeling In his throat gave It to the youngster, telling him to take it to his mother. The lad thanked him and departed. Short ly afterwards Mr. Opdycke crossed the river and heard some boys talk-: Ing. The one to whom he had given the fish was triumphantly displaying ! his prize to the other boys and when asked where he had got It replied, i 'Oh I worked an easy guy for It. i Told him my mother was sick nnd wanted a fish. He was easy." The guy" silently withdrew to the other side of the river saying "never again." 1 Public Xotlee.
