The outlook for a successful state fair were never, more encouraging than they are thus year. ; The press of the stale is united in support of the lair. The Portland Telegram pf recent date contained the following article: "Oregon's: livestock interests will he well represented at the state fair this year. In fact, the management intends to make this one of the principal fea tures, and there wiil be stock of fancy breed from California. Nevada, Ore gon. Washington and Idaho. Secre tary M. D.' Wisdom has been corres ponding , with ; different National live stock breedi-jg associations 1 with the result that a few have furnished sub stantial support in the matter of prize money for the premium list. Others remain to 't heard from. "According to present indications the fair this year will ; be something more than a fair in name.: It will be a repre sentative exhibition of the state's re sources, teaching a va?uable industrial ksson fromlwhh the exhibitors will profit. Cheap excursion from every parf of the Northwest wiil be run, and it is expected the attendance will be immense ami" tax the accommodatons of Salem to the fullest extent. The large fair grounds will be scarcely large enough for the world of exhibits in the lines of agricultural, horticultural, tim ber, fisheries, mineral, livestock, dairy ing and other branches of Oregon's industrialize. i "The people of Salem are fully alive to the energetic ;.- efforts of the fair board to make the fair, one of the larg est held in the Northwest. The Cap ital City Chamber of Commerce has appointed a! committee to render what ever assistance lies in the power of the city, financial arid otherwise, r The members i propose to co-operate and work band in hand with, the state fair board.' j "The. fact that the National Breeding livestock Association is evincing an interest in lire fair is proof that that branch will be a star attraction. There wiil be a dazzling array of fancy stock, worth coming a long distance to see. "The state fair boards of the differ ent states having arranged the dates so that exhibitors in one state may at tend fairs in the others, further agree to cj-oporate with one another in mak ing facfif fair a success. Apropos-of this5ubject, Secretary Wisdom has just receded a very interesting letter ftom P.

A BIG MIMG COMPACT. File J Articles cf Incorporation Tester day Will Opente in, Oregon and Alaska Territory, In the state department, yesterday, two new corporations filed articles, as Monarch Gold! Mining; & Dredging Company will -engage in .mining in Oregon, Alaska and elsewhere, and do a general development and merchandise business, i Hi citr of Portland is named as the headquarters jof the com pany. The capital is fixed! at $12,000, divided into shares valued 'at $10 each. I. M. -Arneson, I. Beeman and A. C Smith are the incorporators. . The Transfer Railway Company of.at Portland will engage in conducting street .railway in Portland. . The com pany has a capital of $10,000. divided into shares valued at $ioo each. F.

The allegation that ancient Egyp tians tempered copper and bronze to carry a razor edge is not borne out by investigation. Thomas Harper, of BeHevue, Pa., challenges any one to produce a piece of metal tempered by the ancients that cannot be more than duplicated by any metal worker today. , . IT le says that in examining hundreds 01 specimens alleged to have been tempered to the degree that steel is tempered, he failed to find any, nor had he discovered any one who had seen such wcrk. and the fable which has been implicitly (believed for cen turies , is being shattered in the light of modern research. The ancients were children in me chanical knowledge as compared to the people of today, and if there was a "demand lor any particular- building or piece of work such as t was pro duced by the ancients, it could be duplicated and improved on by the skilled artisans of the nineteenth cen tury American Manufacturer. ; A WILL ADMITTED TESTAMENT OF JOHN I- EOFF, DE CEASED, PROBATED.
