The crowd at the fair grounds, while
not as large as yesterday, continues to
ia of massive proportions. This being
Portland day, the citizens of the
ftate's metropolis are very much in evi
dence. The members of the. Portland
Transportation Club are here in full
force, and are easily designated by their
white hats with red ribbon hat bands,
bearing the club's name.
All the morning trains, and especial
ly those from Portland, brought throngs
if outsiders to the grounds, and the
rtemen had their hands full all day.
Large numbers have been visiting
the departments, and the smallor
ones experienced groat difficulty in
I earing for the crowds that desired to
jj Tisit them.

Plan Valley Exhibit.
Tho representatives of tho difforont
Willamotte valley commercial clubs mot
at the stockmen's headquartors on the
fair grounds at 11 o'clock and discussed
at some length the plans now under
way for a united Willamette valley ex
hibit at the Panama exposition at San
Francisco in 1915. '
C. H. Stewart, manager of tho Al
bany commercial club, who had ar
ranged for the meeting, called the meet
ing to order, and was chosen tempor
ary chairman. Fred Bynon, secretary
of the local commercial club, was ap
pointed secretary.
Combined Exhibit Best
It was definitely decidod that the
best advertisement the valloy counties
could display at the exposition would
be an exhibit of the best produce of
the valley on the same plan that the
valloy exhibit was made at the Omaha
Land Show some years ago, tho idea
being that the matter of a competitive
display there by tho different counties
would have no matorial rosult in bring
ing emigrants to any one county, and
that since the products of tho valloy
were so materially difforent from those
of other sections of the state, the wise
thing for tho valloy counties to do
would be to make s Willamette valley
display, attract people to the valloy,
and then lot them choose their own sec
tion. Another Meeting October 30.
It was decidod to hold another meet
ing at Albany on October 30, when each'
of the valley commercial clubs and the
different county courts are to be rep
resented, and take final action on ar
ranging for the display.
Those present wore: C. H. Stowart,
Albany; Dr. J. H. Robnott, Albany; M.
J. Ihiryoa, Eugene; E. J. Johnson, Cor
vallis; C. A. Murphy, Corvallis; W. S.

Old Timer at Fair.
Fifty-one years ago last Tuosday,
"Breozo" Gibson, the- sage of Polk
county, attended his first state fair In
Oregon. Together with "Uncle" Dave
Guthrie, of Dallas, Mr, Gibson sallied
forth this morning at the fair grounds
and tramped over territory that they
firt set foot on more than a half cen
tury ago.
When the first state fair was held in
1801, Mr. Gibson was driving a freight
team and wagon in Idaho. "Breeze,"
at that time was herding a yoke of ox
en over tho Idaho hills and mountains,
and, according to his statement today,
he could not get another man to poke
his team along until be could come to
Oregon to see the show.
In tho latter part of 1 Mr. Gib
son came back to Oregon and met Dave
Guthrie, now of Dallas, and together
they "took in every domed thing on
the grounds," as Gibson put it, when
the second state fair opened.
