BOOSTERS MEET AT
STATE FAIR TODAY
Various Counties May Unite
to Advertise Willamette Val
ley As District.
BIG EXHIBIT MAY BE
INSTALLED AT EXPOSITION
Delegates from Commercial
Clubs and Counties Con
ferring to This End.
To discuss plans for the advertising (
of the Willamette Valley as a district, ;
at the Panama exposition at San I
Francisco in 1915, representatives of
the various bootsing organizations of
the valley met today at the state fair.
( This plan was recently launched by j
the local Commercial club. It was ,
' meant to induce all of the counties ,
of the valley to unite in advertising
the valley as a section. j
The counties that have thus far
been linked in this movement are Lane, 1
Linn, 'Marion, Benton, Polk and i
Yamhill. Representatives of these ,
counties and delegates from the var- :
ious commercial clubs of the prin
cipal towns of the counties are those
who met at the fair today, to discuss '
this plan. '
The plan as explained is to unite '
the individual efforts at community ,
advertising into a big boost for the ;
Willamette valley as a whole.
Now each commercial organization
carries a big burden of expense for :
advertising, which is confined largely
to letter-writing and the distribution
of printed pamphlets. By uniting in
t lie movement, it is pointed out, tne
different cities could concentrate
their efforts on Willamette valley
points in addition to advertising by
the usual methods and thus accom
plish much more.
The success of the Willamette val
ley exhibit at the big kind show in
Omaha is cited as a point in favor of
this plan. In the exhibit each county
contributed a display of its own pro
duels which lost their identity as be
ing from any particular county when
placed in the exhibit, but the Willam
ette valley as a whole received a great
deal of advertising and it is claimed
the resultant good to each county was
far greater than had the counties
borne the greater expense of an in
diidual exhibit.
It is anticipated that the result
of the meeting at Salem this after
noon will be to this end and that
plans for the installation of an exhibit
contributed by the various counties,
for the purpose of advertising the
valley as a district at the exposition
will be set forth.

SLY HUNTER GETS
AWAY FROM WARDEN
Recognizes Officer, Makes Out
He Is Farmer and Runs
Out of Field.
At Corvallis yesterday two arrests
were made of hunters caught red
handed with female Chinese pheas
ants. An amusing case was reported
there to a representative of the Dem
ocrat, in which a hunter had a narrow
escaoe from ibeing jugged. He was
going through the brush in the edge
of a field, when ordered to stop by
a man he saw at once was a deputy
game warden. He had in his pos
session two roosters and eight female
birds. His maneuvers to escape ar
rest were certainly original:
"I'll get out of your field," he
cried, starting on a run. Every few
teet he would stumble, and slip some
of the female birds into the bushes.
until he had gotten rid of all of them
without being observed. Finally the
game warden caught up with him, and
the tellow out ot breath, ejaculated:
"Well, I'm getting out of your
tie Id as last as 1 can.
"That isn't my field," said the offi
cer. I m a deputy game warden and
want to see your birds." He was
shown the two roosters and was al
lowed to depart.

(By United Pre-'s Association)
New York, Oct. 2. Following the
arrest of George E. Davis who has
been sought by federal agents for
two years, Assistant Federal District
Attorney Wood today issued a state
ment saying that Davis made a com
plete confession in regard to his par
ticipation in the MeNamara dynamit
ing conspiracy, which revealed many
new details in connection with the
affair. Davis admitted, the statement
lid, he was a partner, and cowork
er of Mc'Manigal. Davis was the
prisoner of Detective Foster for three
weeks at Louisville. lie was appre
hended in Pittsburg. Davis, accord
ing to Foster, dictated a confession
en route to New York. It implicates
Marry Jones, Secretary-treasurer of
the international association of bridge
and structural iron workers, who suc
ceeded II. S. Hockin. The latter suc
ceeded John HcNainara. A sensation
al assertion credited lo Davis, is that
he was selected as the head of the
organization of fifteen dynamiters
who were to blow nonunion buildings
on a country plan, conceived while
McNamara's trial was in progress and
intended to convince the public that
the McN'aniara brothers were not the
dynamiters because the explosions oc
curred while they were incus tody.
Their pleas of guilty upset this plan.
