Is the Oregon Btnte Fair open to pri
vate purchase? L;:
That is the question soon to be raise!
if the proceedings proposed by the
State .Hoard of ; School Land CommiV
pioners against the Oregon State Board
of Agriculture, usually known as the
State Fair P.oard, are carried out.
In order that the general public may
ce -what ' these proceedings are, and
may lead to. Jt ja necessary to eive
here a brief resume of the history of
i.-' w-,." 4k o.. c-
late years of the Oregon State Fair
Association.
la 1885 the old Oregon Agricultural
Society,, under whose auspices', a stae
agricultural fair had been hel)for a
number of years, getting in a very bad
way financially, went before the legis
lative assembly and secured an appro
priation, from the general, funds of the
ytate for the purpose of assisting fn its
maintenance. Under the law making
this appropriation the legislature pro
vi!ed that the Governor should appoint
part of the managing board, and the
other momUrs should be named by the
old association.
Things .not - going prosperously
with the r?soei.ition apparently, after
this, it was decided to fund" the out
standing indebtedness of the old asso
eiation, and a general loan was male
from the school-, fond of the state, for
this purpose. This fund was then and
is, now under .jt he charge of the State
Land-Bonn! noted above, and they
loaned the, society the sum of $11,000,
at H jor cent interest for one year. This
was on-Decern lcr 29, 1894, and the-loan
was re-ally the outcome of the "hard
times" period through which every
body had just gone. -
A year later the Twirtrd of managers
was notified,, that .--'the amount loaned
was' due, but as no 'funds, were in sight
with which to pay it-back, the matter
rested in statu quo. This condition
ruleil year after year until 18!, when
the .board- found it-sefri possession of
a depleted f4xt-lieque'f ;ad;47(KTO of n.d
ditionali indebtedness t hanging over it

The legislature was again appealed
iu ,in .).r1 ana an appropriation made
to ay thf warrant indebtedness, but
the atatc required that the. laad3 be
Ieeded;to the State of Orearon. which
was done. A new lioaru of Fair Man
ager was then appointed known as the
Oregon State Board of Agriculture, of
nvo memDers, and this same organiza
tion still rules in the fair manage-
ment. : ' i y- ;
The transfer of the Fair Grounds to
the state "t was f: made subject to' the
mortgage, so the Condition is now that
the State of Oregon owes to the School
Trust Fund the sum of $11,000 with
nearlyi $9000 additional interest. '
The State of Oregon, trustees, repre
sented by th State Board of School
Land'Commissioners has nade various
demands on the State of Oregon j as
represented by the State Board of Agri
culture, for payment of the' above
sums, J without result. As Secretary
Wylie?A.:Moore9 said yesterday; W
admit that the .demands have been
made on the Stato Board of Agricul
ture for the payment of this sum, but
we do not admit having paid it. The
reason is we have no funds available
for this purpose and the legislative
assembly should have made the appro
priation to cover the amounts into the
school,und '
- "The, State Board of Agriculture has
no funds nor income,' said Secretary
Moores,"from any souree except; gate
receipts and . concessions, and these to
gether with the annual appropriation
iof-$ltf,0O0 are necessary for the support
:-Iof the fair. Th;10iK)0 appropriation
can bo wed for-no thcr purpose ex
cept the payment of premiums, and the
other revenues are necessary f or? the
payment ;,of the .expenses. Thus you
seo.wby nothing has been done in this
matter. s The land belongs to the State
and the State owes, the money, and
except a specific "appropriation be-made
for its payment, I don't see how it can
be done." ; - t ' ? .
--Now the State Laud Board has in
structed the Attorney General to inves
tigate the matter and see if the Board
can foreclose the mortgage. Attorney
General Crawford said yesterday that
he thought proceedings would likely be
commenced soon, and of course,i under
such proceedings, unless the legislature
should step in and; appropriate money
for the purpose of buying the lands and
paying the mortgage,, the property
would have to go to the highest bidder.
It is i admitted that if the state could
buy the land .for a valuation in excess
of the amount of the mortgage it could
pay the mortgage. ,
rlf the School Board should take the
lands in, it would have to do so for the
faeo of the mortgage,. which is more or
less $20,003 now., The lands, which con
tain about 160 acres, are easily worth
thirty to .thirty-five thousand dollars,
so. Salem's citizens can see what a
menace this will be to-the States Fair.
Thet tat e" cduldj no,t buy the property
from' the general or State .Fair fund,
without - further instruction from the
legislative assembly, and a sale would
meant that it would go to private par-
Is this the' first step towards moving
the State Faif to Guild's Lake?

(From Wednesday's Daily.)
. A question whieh is perplexing the
people of the Capital City not a little
and whieh has beeome almost a chest
nut from frequent asking, is "How
about the Dallas and . Salem , ratlroa i .
Is it going to be built t And do, you
suppose the "money rean be raised fcr
the bond issuef " Xo ome seems to be
able to give a satisfactory answer to
this question. , .
A Statesman reporter r staried ont
yesterday afternoon to make an inves
tigation of he affair, but was unable
to learn anything definite. The States
man is Jfavorable to any measure for
the improvement of the eity !and surf
rounding eountry, and especially tp
ward a railroad to Dallas, as it is con
sidered to be most important and far
reaching in its effects of any proposed
railroad; or trolley line in the county
or state.' The line is believed to be per
feetfy feasible, and absolutely no sub
sidy is demanded, all that is necessary
is to circulate a subscription list and
secure pledges for a bonded- loan of
$72,000 to -be secured by a first mort
gage on the road, ' costing $167,000,
and drawing 5 per cent interest. The
loan to continue for a period of two
years, unless -Mtf CoOvert , desires to
make payment Within one year., Mr.
Coovert has already signed ra contract
and is ready to. begin, wrk.at onee.
r: There; is absolutely 'nothing .wrong in
the proposition," and a. canvass "of
number j of business men" yesterday
brought' out the fact that they consid
er it a good investment for themselves,
beside oeing a splendid thing for Sa
lem, and feel just like Dan J. Fry, who
publicly announced that i he wanted
$1000 worth of the bondsj and he still
declares he is interested and his idea
of the value of the road: to Salem is
daily increasing. I '
Judging from the short canvass made
there will be nt trouble fin securing
the bonded loan within a short time,
and right now is the time.' Mr. Coovert
stated before the Commercial Club that
he was s ready to begin work of con
struction, and before the beginning of
the rainy season next fall desired to
have the work completed.;
The committee appointed by the
president of the Greater; Salem Com
mercial Clnh consists of Mnvor Frank
W. Waters, Hon. Tilmon j Ford, ; Wm.
Brown, D. J. Fry and llal IK l'atton.
Mr. Ford has the matter! in charge,
and will draw the necessary papers for
circulating among the business men
and capitalists of the city. Mr. Ford
was seen yesterday in regard ! to '"? the
subject, but as yet had nothing to" give
ont. Tie said the committee had been
skirmishing around, some, and within a
week wonld be able to give ont infor
mation Which would be interesting and
satisfying. The papers have; not yet
been drawn, but this will be none at
once, so reported Mr. Ford, The com
mittee on securing the ; terminal
grounds in West Salem has nothing to
report as yet, but they are conducting
negotiations for land and also a right
of way; to the edge of West Salem.
This committee is waiting for action on
the part of the committee which is to
fnrnish the necessary fZ.0OO before
they take any 'definite "action toward
securing terminal grounds. ,
i Flan is msappxorea. .
A prominent business man' who was
consulted in regard to the proposed
bonded loan did not desire at this time
to go on record, although he Will do
later. This gentleman will furnish his
full proportion of the money for the
project, provided all arrangements suit
him, but hr disapproves of the present
Clan. He believes 'Mr.- Oerlisger, who
uilt and now operates the Dallas and
Falls City railroad shonld be the one
to build on to Salem, so that the road
wonld not be incompetition with the
Southern Pacific Company. This n-
tleman stated that at one time Mr.
Gerlinger had offered to continue the
road to Salem and asked no subsidy,
but the bonded loan, and agreed to se
cure it by first mortgage on the entire
road. The difficulty, arose about mak
ing the loan and the matter was allow
ed to fall through. He has lately had
a conversation, with Mr. Gerlinger in
regard " to thematter and that gentle
man denied the popular 4 opinion - that
the road would eventually come under
his control. He evidently 'did not ap
preciate the fact: that his chief engin
eer was going to build the road to Sa
lem. The gentleman "referred to be
lieves that the committee in charge of
.1 a . . . . .
ine maxier can ye arrange iot xne
change; and induce ..Mr. Gerlinger to
build the road, to be, operated by one
company, and without opposition.
This will at least be food for thought
although those in charge' of the scheme
feel sure it is- at present only an ex
tension of the present road, and would
be at once absorbed under pne control.

V (From Wednesday ' Daily.)
Yesterday morning Mr. Welch, the
new manager of the Citizens' Light &
Traction Co., made an inspection of
the proposed route of the street car ex
tension from the terminus of the South
Commercial : street lino to Liberty, a
mean distance of two miles. -Through

grades and roadway and after his in
vestigation was shown over a large
territory bordering the proposed route.
He was taken into the heart at the
fruit district, shown the growing or
chards, driers, and other important in
dustries. He was f avorably impressed
with the magnificent fields of fruit
trees, and was satisfied that the crops
would cut an important figure in the
matter of constructing the extension.
It is' the intention" of Mr. Welch to
formulate his proposition to. the resi
dents of Liberty and along proposed
line, from the data secured yesterday,
and a meeting for this purpose will be
had at Liberty next-Friday night.

Geo. T. Washington, not tbe father
of his country, but one of its sons, who
was recently sentenced to serve thirty
days in tbe same ; institution for, lar
ceny, gets five days-of clemency on ac
count of his ability to cook a good
camp meal. Some of the Portland Na
tional guardsmen want to take him as
1 j r,uT va- ji .v j assc v. sa -
