P.I.EXPOSITION An exhibit in the Oregon pavilion, Palace of Agriculture t the Panama Pacific Exposition, that attracts a great deal of attention is that one showing 670 varieties of products from a single farm. This showing is made by D. M. Lowe, of Jackson county, who is particularly well known to Oregon State Fair attend ants. This exhibit is made up of grains, grasses, fruits, vegetables, the legumes, several varieties of corn, flax, and about everything else nam able. The average visitor is thor oughly amazed that such a tremdous variety of products can be produced, on a single farm and many stay to discuss the situation thoroughly. That this production is obtained without the aid of irrigation, that the products grow to a splendid maturity without interruption, and that so much of the exhibit is of top-notch stuff but increases the wonder. A feature of the exhibit is a large case of silver cups, medals and blue rib bons that Mr. Lowe has won by sim ilar exhibits at other expositions and state fairs. This is a magnificent ad- ertisement for southern Oregon and the state at large and furnishes great oportunity for attendants to dwell up on Oregon opportunity and possibil ity. A companion exhibit also as sists very materially in this effort at exploitation. This is the splendid showing made by P. M. Sherman, of Linn county. He shows what can be grown on an unirrtgated ten-acre farm and there Is an unusual variety of fine products. However, Mr. Sher man has discovered that it pays to grow first-class seed of all kinds and this is his special effort. There Is al ways a strong demand for good seed at a good price and he recommends this industry to those on the small tract. The public finds his exhibit of great interest. 4.4.4.4....4..

The domestic science women were congratulated ann:y on the success cf their undertaking and the expres sions came from the innermost depths, for the Oregon building din ing room is the fad with the greatest of the great. The band from the bat tleship Oregon furnished music for the occasion and as a most distin guished honor, the Oregon's $15,000 punch bowl and service was loaned. This splendid social function was the happy thought of Commissioner John P. Logan, who desired to show to the world Oregon's appreciation of the young women 01 me siaie in ineir successful endeavor to dignify home service, and of the young men in pre paring practically for usefulness. And other, functions are to follow swiftly. On the 29th fifteen hundred gallons of loganberry juice will tell at least fifteen thousand people of a w nectar more glorious than that which Jupiter sips. There will be an all-day program. August 9th to 17th will be "All Oregon Week," each day special day and probably with a function each night. The 17th is "Benson Day" and this will be made one of the greatest days of the Expo sition, this being an exposition as well as an Oregon occasion. Elabor ate plans are under way. Klamath county has started out to prove that, while a tremendous tim ber, cattle and wild game country, it can produce as fine farm and garden truck as any of 'em. Representative Phil Sinnott now gloats over a show ing of fine lettuce, turnips, rhubarb and kindred garden stuff as there is on the grounds. The inquiry about the Klamath country is very great, but the average person thinks of that section as being too cold for produc tion of any sort. They are now lear- ing better. If the rest of the state understood just how many are the in quiries about the possibilities for hunting game of any sort they would emphasize the opportunities in their particular sections. Many people about to change their location seem to be as much interested in hunting as they are in making a living, and the matter of bagging a deer or land ing a trout once in a while seems to be more important than any climatic condition.

HENRY SCHWARZ, Proprietor i . . Tr From Cove, Union county, there came the first of the week two im mense designs made of cherries an American eagle with wings outspread upon a shild and an American flag. Each of them about four by six feet, and done in the light-colored Royal Ann and the dark Bings, presents a decidedly attractive appearance and the display now makes the Eastern Oregon booth the real center of at traction. Shipped 1,050 miles, the Eastern Oregon fruit arrived in per fect condition and with the replace ment of a cherry here and there as the days go by the display will proba bly appear to advantage for three weeks or more. Coming after the southern Oregon and Willamette Val ley cherry has had its day, this show ing makes a decided hit. While the cherries are by no means the finest that have been on display in the Ore gon building, they are fine looking and of a size that is amazing to many of the Easterners unfamiliar with the beauty of this Oregon fruit. "Grace's Visit to the Rogue River Valley" is a new six reel film now be ing shown. This portrays the scenic beauty, the productivity and the so cial life of the valley. It is a beau tiful film and is greatly enjoyed by hundreds of visitors weekly. Is A. R.

Thore was an all day program and the Artisans were fed on the building's vast expanse of balcony. Then came the Panama- Pacific Historical Congress for a ses sion at the theater in this building, Prof. Joseph Schafer,' of the state University, presided and read a paper on "The Western Ocean as a Deter minant in Oregon History." Friday night one of the largest formal social functions of the Exposition was given in honor of the young women of the Oregon Agricultural College here serving in the domestic science dem onstration kitchen and dining room and in honor of the college and uni versity young 'men here as guides. The invitation list included the high est exposition officials, officialdom at the various state buildings, the elite of the Bociety of the Bay cities, and the sojourning.friends of these young people. Hundreds of these came to do the young people honor and large .t, Shrewd Dentist. Rankin Isn't that Dr. Dlggen- delve, the wealthy dentist? Phyle Yes.

"There's not much petticoat rule nowadays, in spite of votes for women," was said. "No," smiled McFee: "there's not much petticoat." i i i I A Dry Witness. Two men had been arrested in a dry town for drinking, and the prose cuting witness was on the stand. "You say," said the attorney for the defense, "that you saw the men in the field drinking?" "Yes sir, I did." "Was the field fenced?" "Yes, sir." "Where were you?" "On the far side of the fence." "Was there a board off that you could see through?" "No, sir." "Was there a knothole in the fence?" "No, sir." , The attorney braced himself for the crushing question that he had ready to launch at the victim whom he thought he had so adroitly cor nered. "Now," he said, banging the table "will you tell the court how you could see two men drinking in a field sur rounded by a fence with no boards off and never a knothole in it?" "Yes, sir," said the witness. "Well, tell it," commanded the at torney Impatiently. "It was a barbed-wire fence." i ! 9 I A Listener. Father What did you and John talk about last night, dear?

Suppose we visit one of the neighbors and take a chance on being invited to stay for dinner." , "Alright," was the ready rejoinder from willing father. "How about the Browns?" "Not on your life!" quickly replied mother. "The Browns are going to have pork and cabbage. I heard Mrs. Brown order it over the party telephone. The Greens ordered chick en." Philadelphia Telegraph.
