SMEAD & CRAWFORD
AT P. 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.

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.

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.

The Oregon building is the center
for much special activity these days
The United Artisans held their con
vention at the building on Monday
and the Salem drill team, which won
out in the big drill contest, created
quite a furore. 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

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."

On a Sunday afternoon an esteem

marked something about dinner
whereat his wife wearily sighed.
"John," said she, "I am too tired
to cook tonight. 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
