Now that the presidential elec tion U a thing of the past the papers of the state should give more space to advertising the 1905 fair and thus assist in advertising the State of Oregon with a view to its more rapid development. It is becoming more apparent every day that the fair is going to be a grand success; that the attendance will be very great, as thousands of Easterners seeking investments and homes will take advantage of the low rates of transportation to visit our state, and seeing for themselves the opportunities for investment and for securing comfortable homes at a nominal price, will become permanent residents. Nowhere have realestate values increased as rapidly as they have in Morrow county the past five years. A splendid illustration of this fact is contained in an item elsewhere in this issue of The Times, regarding the sale -f Geo. Turner's ranch north of Lexington. Five years ago this land sold for $320 a quarter section and now sells for $2000. But Mr. Turner admits himself that he sold too cheap; that he did not get the ac tual value of the land, realizing as he does that one or two crops from the land will pay for it. There are hundreds of other farms in the country just as good. All lands are selling too cheap, but they are gradually going up and it is only a matter of a few years until its real value will be reached. TRIP TO SCOTLAND. My friend Mr. Thompson and I then pall for home, and the hospitality of him and bis better half I never shall forget, for aa I said before, without theee friends I could never have seen as ranch of Chicago aa I did. Surprises come to a person when least expected. Leaving my return ticket with Mr. W. Cruickshank, a brother-in-law of R. F. Ilyn J, I was surprised to find oat that be bad told bis property in Chicago while I was gone, and ready to leave for Heppner tbe same day I was. Bat going opposite routes, here we parted, Mr. Craickthank leaving father, later, and brothers behind, and all 1 wish htm is tuccets in Oregon. At my titket takes me by way of St. Lou; a, 1 drop off long enough to u alie a trip around the Ferria wheel and take a birdeeye view of the World' Fair. My time is getting limited on my ticket ami I can't stay long here, so boarding a motor car at tbe gate I have a spin through tbe grounds aud lo ate the principal buildii.gs that I am interested in, being a tiller oi the -oil and inter eited in wljat the d fir-rent country c n produce, 1 work my way to tl.e agricul tural building of courre. Oregon fi.st; but thii is a large build;ng and I have some trouble iu fimiing it. liut pretty aoon I am on the right trac k, and I don't need to look for Oregon produce; I can smell it my smeller being very sensitive wLeo I inhale the steam of tne Oregon pinne. Here they are cooking prunes aud giving them over the counter as fast as half a dozen ladies could dish them out. This, I would say, is a splendid way to advertise the Oreg n prune. I was very proud of tbe Oregon exhibit. Glancing first from one thing to another, I come to Lantern Oregon produce being wild and wooly. I start to exatniae the Merino wool and We very first tickets read, Conser & Hayes, I'enland L. A L. Co., Wright Broa., McKnight Bros., and many more fan.il iar names. Dividing up my time the liest I knew bow, I next made for the Forestry, Game and Fish building. Here I again make for Oregon products. Oregon putt op one of the most interest ing exhibits at the Bt. Louis fair; her flsb are well represented by large Chi nook salmon; Ler game a prettier dis play you couldn't wish to tee, for here it the beautiful pheasant from the valley walking around in reality. Ore gon nine, known the world over, even in Aold Scotland In the small country car penter shops I heard it praise I, and to see all tbe different kind of woods that It represented at the fair It a treat, Of course I ha 1 1 fe the big log on ex hibition; this Wat ou the outside of the butlJinjg along with lots more. Al though the rain was pouring down at the time, 1 waded out In the mud up to my ahoetope to iuspeat the squared timber. I forgot its diuiensious, but saw nothing to equal it. So again I say Oregon against the world, for I don't believe there is any state in the Union thitt cau represent so many of the differ ent paying industries. But as my lime is limited I take a turn atouud the big wheel aud have a birdseye view of the buildings and grouuds 2C0 feet above the level. Walking around taking in the sights in general, I stumble onto a small buikt iiig of French design, perhaps a repro duction of the building of the thirteenth ceutury. The windows of all old build, ings of these times were small. I could never understand this until my trip over there. At that time the people were taxed for each window according to the size. So here in the fair'giouuda this little old building represents an old ion with the sign above the door, "The Fair Maid of Perth." Of course I have been in Scotland aud many a time in Perth, the greatest sheep ceuter in Britain, so while here in St. Louis I walk in with the crowd to visit Perth's Fair Maid; but to my sui prise I run up against a stalwart "the landman" with the Scotch uniform kilted to the knee. Being of unusual size, I passed the re mark that Dewr iu Perth had a very good exhibit. Whiskey may make big men over there, but iu these United States 1 dou't believe this rule will work the climate don't call for it. I don't need any introduction to let him know that 1 am Scotch; I simply walk up to him and show him my Clan Tartan, a necktie, I may mention, presented to me before leaving Scotland by a clans woman of the Clan Lindsay; so here in St. Louis I am introducing myself by the tartan I wear. I had a nice visit with the landmau and walked out. Looking around the old building I run onto the Fair Maid of Perth sitting in tbe yard as it were; inside a fence. True to her raising and just as if I had met be in Perth, she is busy at ber needlework. Of course I make myself acquainted, and have a friendly chat "over the garden wall. She wore a beautiful tartan plaid of the Clan Stuart, so with a friendly goodbye I pass along with tbe crowd.
