Gold Hill. Aug. 31. Spl
Crowds in holiday mood today
enjoyed the eighth annual
northwest Jackson county fair
put on by this small but enter
prising city.
The prediction of William
Howes, general chairman of the
fair board, that the eighth an
nual fair would be "bigger and
better" actually came true.
The crowds were bigger, the
livestock exhibits were bigger,
there were 1.400 exhibits all
told as against 750 last year.
the free barbecue was bigger
and everyone agreed that every'
thing was better!
Coming at the end of an cx
citing day, a dance tonight
brought the fair to a close. The
dance, in the spacious Gold Hill
pavilion, was to continue well
into Sunday morning.
Throng At Barbecue
Close to 3,000 persons were
treated to the fair's famous free
barbecue dinner on the soft,
green lawns of the school house
on the sloping hill overlooking
the city. The tantalizing aroma
wafting from the barbecue pits
all afternoon whetted appetites
so that the thousands of visitors
needed no coaxing to accept
generous helpings. !
Fires in two barbecue pits ;
were laid at 4:00 a. m. and the
beef was started cooking at j
6:00. From then on F. H. Pink-;
erton and Mrs. Jeanette Greer ;
spent their time cooking the1
big meal. And it was big: 700 ;
pounds of the finest steer Deei,
200 pounds of potatoes, 25 gal
lons of brown gravy, and 50
gallons of coffee, to say noth
ing of large quantities of but
ter, cheese, pickles, cream ana
other incidentals. j
Over all this joyous activity
reigned with majestic poise and
regal generosity Queen Ina I,
Miss Ina Pearl Lucas of Sams
Valley Grange, Assisting Queen
Ina were Princesses Edith
Howes, Gold Hill Grange, Vir
ginia Centers, Gold Hill Garden
club, Charlotte Carter, Live Oak
Grange, and Geneva Moore,
Wimer Grange.
Gies Ferrent Speech
Crowning of the queen was
held during the morning par
ade that started activities for
the day. The coronation address
was given by Dennis McGuire,
school superintendent. After the
coronation Mayor R. G. Wigle
turned over the emblematic key
of the city to General Chair
man Howes. In a brief but fer
vent acceptance speech, Mr.
Howes pointed to the destruc
tion, famine and suffering In
Europe, emphasized the "boun
teous productivity of our land
as shown by the fine exhibits
at our fair" and declared that
"we should all be thankful that
we live in this glorious nation,
the best country in the world."
Like Oak, Gold Hill and
Sams Valley Granges again had
booths which the Judges de
scribed as excellent. This year,
however, the booths were not
classified but equal prizes were
awarded to all meeting speci
fied minimum requirements.
Fowler Is Judge
Exhibits showed a wide
range of subject matter and
much Interest was shown in
them throughout the day.
R. G. Fowler, Jackson coun
ty agent, and O. K. Beals, Jose
phine county agent, were judges
of livestock. Mr. Fowler also
took part in other judging.
A full afternoon of sports,

Plymouths for 1941 will be
on display at Pierce Allen Mo
tor company s completely re
decorated showrooms within
the next few days, according
to a statement made by L. C.
Taylor, owner, upon his return
from the Plymouth preview in
Portland last Thursday.
Mr. Taylor said, In comment
ing on the new Dodge which
is expected soon, "It has been
years since the automobile in
dustry has produced an oper
ating improvement approaching
in newness and general interest
the Fluid Drive which will be
featured in 1941 Dodge models,
In consequence there is wide
spread curiosity regarding the
question how and to what ad
vantage the power of the auto
mobile engine, ordinarily pass-
steel housing and tnis housing
is filled with two gallons of
oil. That is all there is, mechan
ically, to the Dodge Fluid Drive;
it is, in effect, a two-section
power train with a gap in the
center of the Fluid Drive unit,
where oil is made the medium
to carry driving energy from
one section1 of the unit to the
other.
The operator of the new
Fluid Drive Dodge has it in
his power to drive, if he wishes,
the way he has always driven,
Or he may do 90 percent of
his normal driving with the
gear shift left in 'high.' He
may stop the car without re
leasing the clutch pedal; he may
ascent hills in 'high' at speeds
as low as one mile per hour,
stopping midway on the in
cline, then starting again, with
the gears still in 'high.'
Honeymoon Tragedy

11am Snider, a Tacoma, Wash.,
bridegroom, died yesterday, a
few hours after a car driven by

through fixed mechanical con

an entirely different fashion,
namely through a body of oil.
A plain and homespun ex
planation of the Fliud Drive is

pany's vice president and dir
ector of sales, Forest H. Akers.
Our Fluid Drive," says Mr.
Akers, "is mounted between
the crankshaft and the clutch,
where it takes the place of the
conventional flywheel. The in
stallation is of extreme simplic
ity, for it consists of only two
working part s t w o bowl-
shaped shells of steel into which
a series of evenly spaced blades
or fins are welded.
One of these bowl-shaped
shells is mounted its open end
facing toward the rear one the
end of the engine crankshaft;
it is called the driver or im
peller; the other Fluid Drive
part, similar in construction to
the first one, is mounted on the

Jungle Town left by the end
of the week.
Because the residential neigh
borhood was growing up around
Jungle Town, situated at the -south
end of Fir street, the
police department last week
began tearing down and carting
away the unrestricted sub-division's
wood, cardboard and tin
shanties of unorthodox architec
tural design erected by and for
the exclusive use of transients
on their uppers.
Late Friday afternoon fira
came to the aid of the police
and wiped out three of the
shacks. The police had already
removed three. There remained
only four which will be removed
this week.
What caused the fire was not
determined. Employes at the
adjacent warehouse of the Cali
fornia Oregon Power company
laid a hose line and put the
fire out.
