BIWTS. With no less than 12 counties con
tributing exhibits to the state fair
the largest number in its history
with the exhibits in general finer and
greater in number than ever before
ind the prizes offered costlier and
more handsome and the interest In
the fair by the people of the whole
state as well as the city of Salem
keener than ever before, the fiftieth
state fair promises to go down into
history as the greatest and best of
them all.

their Intention to make exhibits, are
Clatsop, Columbia, Clackamas, Mar

D'Arcy is in charge of the work of
preparing the entertainment for that
day, and the Salem Board of Trade
and the Business Men's League are
lending him their co-operation.
Mayor Lachmund will declare the
day a holiday and ask all merchants
to close their stores on the after
noon of that day. He will do the
same thing with regard to Salem

tures are innovations and it is hoped
that the precedent set will be fol
lowed in after years.
ISaw the First Fair.
A special effort is being brought to
bear to bring together the pioneers
on the day and it Is expected that
there will be a number present who
will have a distinct recollection of
the first fair held in the state.
Among these will be Ben Wlsner, a
properous farmer of Polk county.
Mr. Wlsner, not only attended the
first state fair,' but has been attend
ing ever succeeding fair and does
not intend to have this one slip by
without being present.
Making Improvements.
Many Improvements have been
made and others are still being made
and will be completed by the open
ing day of the fair. El-Oso pave
ment had been laid from the South
ern Pacific depot to the main en
trance of the fair grounds. The
pavement Is 20 feet wide. The steeple-chase
in the midfleld has been
completed and it is considered as
good as any in the west. It has five
Jumps, including a water Jump. A
large shipment of steeplechase
horses Is expected from Portland

DAILY CAPITAI
RECOMMEND
A SITE FOR
NEW SCHOOL
After considering and weighing the
advantages of several sites for an
additional school building, the com
mittee on public buildings Saturday
evening at the meeting of the school
board, recommended the purchase of
block 11 in Richmond addition.
This site is more centrally located
for this section of the city than any
of the other sites available, and will
also be of better service in the years
to come. H. A. Johnson & Company
has placed It on the market at
$8,500 and the board authorized the
committee to purchase It at $7,000.
The committee in its report also
recommended that next year an
eight room building be erected on
the site. It made a similar recom
mendation with relation to the site
in Highland addition which was pur
chased some time ago.
An Athletic Field.
The same committee recommended
the purchase of an athletic field
the grounds where the circus was
held this summer and which is lo
cated between B street and Parrish
addition. The tract is 450 by 500
feet and will make a fine field. The
owner asks $6,500 for it and the
board voted to ofTer $6,000. .

Finds Poison In 3111k.
J. M. Riggle, of Independence, Is
said to have found something
strange in the milk and his suspicion
being aroused, he brought it in to a
doctor and druggist to have them
determine what it was. They each
found that the sample contained a
quantity of strychnine. The only
question is, how did it get there? It
seems that the milk was left on the
porch and of course some one put
the poison in." There hase been a
lot of . neighborhood misunderstand
ing and hard feelings in this part of
town. This is to be" deplored and
ought to oease. It is hard to think
that a neighbor would in this way
try to kill by poisoning a whole
family. The stuff might have been
In for another reason to win some
other point. Whoever did It, did a

the purpose. Taking human life Is
awful. To try to carry out some
scheme by resorting to such meth
ods is low and devilish. We hope
that the differences will be fixed up
and that the public, otherwise peace
able, will hear no more about it.
Trouble making Is a very poor and
unprofitable business, and Injures no

XOYEMBER 80 DESIGNATED
AS THANKSGIVING DAT
Washington, D. C President Taft
will designate Thursday, November
30, as Thanksgiving Day, despite the
request of bankers that the president
name Thursday, November 23.
It has always been the custom to
designate the last Thursday In No
vember as Thanksgiving Day, and
Mr. Taft will adhere to that custom.
The bankers wanted November 23
selected delcarlng that the making of
November 30 a legal holiday wO'ilu
seriously Interfere with their work.
The law requires that national banks
make their statements to the treas
ury department on the first day of
every month, and a holiday falling on
the last day of the month would be
most inconvenient, said the bankets.
There was some doubt as to what
Thursday in November would be se
lected this year, as the month con
tains five Thursdays. The white
house has been besieged by theatri
cal managers and those in charge of
college football games to settle this
doubt, so that definite arrangements
can be made for the array of special
performances and sports that mark
the day.

Is to appear in person at the final
hearing in the court of chancery in
connection with her legacy. The
court decrees that Miss Barham must
appear in person, accompanied by
her parents or guardian for absolute
identification. Consequently she will
sail for London in September ac
companled by her mother.
The fact that Miss Barham will re
turn early In December, If not soon
er, with a bank roll of considerable
proportions, will serve to remove her
sting of disappointment in having to
forego her tour in "The " Chorus

WAST THE
SOIL
Incensed at the city government
for its action in appropriating the
dirt taken from their premises in
making street Improvement and mak
ing use of It anywhere it may be
needed in the city, several property
owners are considering the advlsibil
ity of availing themselves of the law
set out in a recent decision by
Justice McBride of the supreme
court, and file suits in the circuit
court to restrain the city from ao-
proprlatlng dirt to which under the
law it has not a shadow of title.
According to the decision of Jus
tice McBride in a case from Clacka-
mous county, unless the 'dirt taken
from a property owner's premises is
not needed for filling purposes on the
street on which the property is lo
cated, the dirt belongs to the prop
erty owner and the city cannot legal
ly take it and use it for filling or
any other purpose in any other por
tion of the city. Last year the city
would take loads of dirt which it had
excavated in making street improve
ments ana mane wnatever disposition
it desired with it, contending that
the property owner had no right to
It. The same policy is now being
followed and property owners are
becoming tired of it and are consult
ing lawyers relative to brlnglne in
junction suits against the city to
stop the practice.
