He says that the Judges. Messrs.

They were paid a big salary each, but 'the management feels that , the results more than justi fied the expenditure. j . . We measure the' success of the Fair continued : Mr. Wisdom, 'more from the great industrial 1 object les-. sons it taught than from the financial standpoint. It la not intended as a mo ney-making institution. Its main pur pose is "to show the resources of Ore gon and pring the grower and the mer chant into closer trade relation. This was accomplished. : (The management feels grateful to Portland business men for the splendid manner lrt which they turned out on Portland day. ' It has drawn them much closer -to. the country people with whom they trade, and Is an object of remark even from the peo- peopie in Eastern Oregon. Moreover, It will stop the continual complaint that Portland people do not take as deep an interest as they should In the country people from whom, in a great measure, they draw their support. The bene fits are bound to be fair-reaching, more so than the average city merchant can possibly. realise. ,'.''.'-' v i. .-. 'While the expenses were'-tmusu-ally heavy this year, owing to the way In which the Fair management branch-1 ed out to meet the demands of exhib itors, the money spent was more than' Justified In the attendance. The impor- tani thing' after securing a good dis play is to get a good attendance. No matter bow good the former may be. It the latter is lacking the main purpose of the Fair has failed. The attendance this year has put the institution on a firm foundation that excludes, the pos sibility of failure in the future. With very l-MJe additional help from the Leg islature rt can be made to serve Qre-gon'a-ibest interest in the most prac tical manner. There will be n trou ble In getting exhibitors from a few counties for a county 'exhibit; there Is a good prospect that every county in the state wilt be represented , A written Itemised report will e compiled for the benefit of the Legis lature, and aew improvements recom mended. Owing to the largf number of exhibitors and the Immense crowds and lack of enough competent help to handle them, there were a ,few rough edges which It is intended shall be re moved next year. Every offlciaF on the Fair grounds worked . more than 1 hours a day, and were toof busy part of th time ' to snatch time even ' for something to eat. There Is talk of a belt street car line by next year so that the crowds ran be handled to better ad vantage. Hundreds of Salem people did not attend on the big- days because It was simply . impossible to get women and children aboard the cars.

I (From Thursday's Dally.) r State Superintendent ; Ackerman is going today to Hlllsboro, where he will attend and take part in the county Teachers Institute, which is In prog' ess there, and on Saturday he will be present at a meeting of school directors of the county, who will come together for the mtrooee of mingling with . the teachers and receiving from them and from the county and stats superinten dents ideas and suggestions which may be serviceable in conducting the schools of their districts, and the general busi ness thereof. . The idea . of the school directors at tending " the institutes and holding meetings' themselves seems tole a new one In Oregon, andi is urged ;as one which might be followed out to good advantage in every county in the state. Many r ease ts suggest themselves for this. --The 1 teachers, attend the insti tutes and there obtain new thoughts and knowledge of better systems; they are told to go forth; and put these new and better theories Into practice in the schoolrooms, but when; these teachers go to their respectlve fields of labor they are confronted byschool officers who know nothing whatever of the new-fangled notions and consequently cannot appreciate the full vaiue or them.-therefore, would rathefx not see them Introduced. Now, if one or more of the directors of each ; district- should meet at the county seat during the county insti tute, hear the discussions and obtain an understanding of the modern meth ods of the best educators, they could return home-and co-operate, with, the teachers 'to the great advantage of .the schools. , ' ; " 1; . The state of Washington has a law making provision for meetings of the character mentioned, and prescribing a small expense fee for directors attend inp them; to be paid out of the general fund ep, the county. The matter of a similar law In Oregon is under dlscus eionamong prominent educational men and may bo brought .before the ' next Legislative session.

Intruders off the grounds; that In the discharge of this duty he v had first warned the Gilbert boy to keep off, but that the boy came back In defiance of the warning, where upon Janitor Whltehurst forcibly eject ed him from the grounds, but that there were no marks or evidences of assault upon the .person of the boy.'who is 1$ years old. The school officers allege that It will be a serious blow to discipline and will leave- tb school grounds open to hoodiumism' If this punishment 1 allowed to stand.

We owe also to Vil morln the present carrot, a vegetable which was nothing more than a thin. dry,- hard woody root, unfit for the stomach of -a sheep, or cow. Year- af ter year he sowed in a bed and care fully examined every root. By select ing seed from only tha . best plants for the new sowing,, he produced a carrot with more flesh and Less wood.
