said Mr. Nulling- "Whether in the
products of the soil, or live stock,
there has been .shown the best i
world. In home manufactured goods,
t"o, things have been seen to open
Hie eyes of visitors to the fair, ami
make them realize that we ' do not
need to send away from home for
most of the things we use.
"The exhibits have been well set,"
he continued. .Much more attractive

MILLER FACES CHARGE OF
SHOPLIFTING IN PORTLAND
Man, Charged With Stealing
Kodak, May Be Guilty of
Other Crimes.
That Charles Miller, who was ar
rested here about two weeks ago on
a charge of appropriating a $25 kodak
from Dawson's drug store, is wanted
for shoplifting in Portland, was the
statement made last night by a Port
land detective, who was here inter
viewing Miller in the county jail.
According to the detective, Miller
is charged in Portland with stealing
a $65 watch. After the theft, he claims
Miller made his wife, whose name is
given as Mrs. Charles Adams, take it
to a pawn shoo where it was nawncd.
The detective had a warrant for the
arrest of Mrs. Adams, who is now in
Salem. He expects to make the ar
rest today. It is said she has confess
ed everything as to the alleged oper
ations of the two, but claims that Mil
ler is responsible for her engaging in
crime, by compelling her.
llic detective is credited as savin?
that Miller and his wife operated ex
tensively in Portland and that they
have been sought by the police for
some time. It is said that hundreds
of dollars are alleged to be involved
in their operations, on various articles
sncii as jewelry and dry goods.
The matter that brought the detec
tive here, it is said, was for the pur
pose of securing Miller's release from
the county jail here so that he could
be taken to Portland to answer the
joint charge, against he and his wife
of shoplifting. Local authorities
would not turn the prisoner over,
of Charles Miller, was confined in the
county jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury in default of bonds, lie
was arraigned before Justice Swan
some lime ago and waived preliminary
examination.
Chief of Police Austin received a
'(Iter yesterday from a woman who
-igneil her name Mrs. Charles Adams,
vrilteu on the stationery of the po
'icc matron's office at Salem. She iu
lithcd if her husband, under the name
of Charles Miller, was enfined in the
tail here. Accompanying the letter
was another letter, which she asked
the otficcr to deliver to Miller, and
she asked the officer to notify her
by I'd. phone if he had been released,
stating that she would come to Al
bany if Miller was slill in jail here.
