According to W. K. Newell, presi
dent of Ihe state hnrlicultiiral board,
who judged the exhibits, Benton
had easily Ihe finest arrangement and
its exhibit was fully the equal of that
of Douglas county with the exception
of the splendid exhibit of corn of the
latter. This exhibit of corn was the
deciding factor, turning the scales in
favor of Douglas.
It is the display of corn, which is
easily the crowning feature of the en
tire Douglas county exhibit, although
'he grains and fruits in splendid pro
fusion and quality rivalled it for first
honors. The corn is massed fiver the
entire exhibit, forming a sort of arbor
roof, the long ears on which the

In the gray dawn of a chilly and
foggy morning, hundreds of hunters
departed from the city in quest of
China pheasants today.

hour were fairly alive with prepara
tions for the day's hunt.
In a I sections of the country tnc
hunters arc seeking the game pheas
ant. In all directions during the (lay

Oakville, Or. Oct. 1. (Special to
Democrat) For the past three weeks
we have been traveling on Puget
Sound.
On the morning of Sep. 19 we went
aboard the steamship "Tacoma" tor
Seattle, where we found the "What
com hound lor Ueltinguam and way
points awaiting us. We went aboard
at 10 o'clock a. m. and spent the day
away out on the Sound. The boat
made two landings on the way, one at
Port Townsend where the largest ma
rine hospital on Coast is located, also
a U. S. custom house and post office.
A few miles from the chv is an army
post and a few large guns arc pointed j
toward the bound. !
The next place we stopped was An
cortes, a city of 7,000 inhabitants,
(omre or less). One of the largest
fish canneries is located here and
there has been a big run of salmon
this year.
We landed at Bellingham at 4
o'clock and soon found friends. Dr.
Carl Cazier, veterinary, is located
here, a native of Linn county. We
knew him in his boyhood days. We
also met Mr. Carl McCoy and family.
Carl is a native son of Albany, a son
of J. Kred McCoy. Mr. John Morgan
and wife of Oaksdale, Washington,
were visiting here, Mr. Morgan is a
native of Jlalsey, Oregon; we visited
the U. S. fishery building and other
things in the city. The doctor took
us all over Whatcom and part of Ska
git in his automobile.
After four days' stay in Bellingham
we said adieu to Bellingham and at
sundown we arrived at Tacoma. From
there we went to the "Western Wash
ington" fair at Puyallup, and found a
grand display of fruit and vegetables,
but Oregon can beat them on horses
and in fact on all kinds of stock, but
the poultry show of Washington is
hard to beat.
We took leave of the people of Ta
coma on the 25th at 9 o'clock and ar
rived at home eleven hours later.
