When You Want GOOD GOODS Go to MEYERS T! State Fair Board Provides for Keeping Tab On Ticket Sales ,Two automatic, combination ticket felling ami bookkeeping machines, man ufactured purposely for use at tlie Ore gon state fair by the National Cash Kcgister company, were received bv Hecretary-Mannger Lea at . the fair grounds yesterday atternoon and will hfc set up readv for operation, by a representative of the manufacturing concern in tune for the JUKI fair, the week of September 2.1th. With the use bf these machines, the accuracy of which is guaranteed, one stationed up on each, side of the main entrance gate, all the ticket seller has to do is to take the money and press the keys snd the. machine delivers to the pur chaser the correct number of tickets ordered full and half fare at the name time recording the amount of the purchase and carrying the total num ber of sales and amount of cash re ceived forward. The seller does not handle the tickets ' at all, hence the possibility of. collusion and graft be tween the seller and taker of tickets by the turning of tickets back to be resold over and over again will be eliminated ami a perfect check upon admission transaction can be kept at all times of the day. The machines also print a complete record of the transaction upon the tickets it issues dating aiid successively numbering ev ery one, which renders it extremely difficult, if at all possible, to work a duplication in the ndmission checks. The machines ace somewhat similar to those in use at the San Diego exposi tion but are built upon a much larger ecale and expressly to the order of the' Oregon state fair board; they are also the first of the kind to iiave been built for a state fair or other exposition in tie world. They will doubtless prove, a. great improvement over former meth ods of ticket selling and will probably jiay for themselves the first season. House Today Passed Wilson Shipping Bill .

But the commission will not be ap pointed entirely by the governor, as suggested by him. This was determined at a meeting of the board of control this morning, when tho following amended resolu tions, introduced by State Treasurer Kay, were adopted:' " Whereas, it is a well recognized fact that the buildings of our peniten tiary are old aud, in present condition, will not permit the institution of a modern system of pedagogical work, and "Whereas, it is advisable to have some well prepared and up to date plan for real constructive work, and the chango necessary to place the same in to practical operation at the Oregon Btnte penitentiary, therefore be it: " Resolved, that a nonsalnried coim mission be appointed by the state board of control composed of three citizens of the state to make a thorough sur vey of the said penitentiary and re port its findings nnd recommendations to the said board. Work of Commission "Resolved, that for the purpose of securing proper data said commission j be given access to all prison records and papers, and-be authorized and al lowed at appropriate tunes to inter view any officer, employe or inmate of the institution. "The problems upon which informa tion and recommendutions are especial ly desired aro: " 1 Kffieiency of administration a long lines of modem penology. "2 The supervision of religious and educational work. "3 The parole board, parole officer and powers, duties aud responsiliili ties. "4 Changes advisable in present buildings. "5 Desirability of It new unit of aggregation of first offenders, nnd es tablishment of industrial work arid in dustrial education for them. "8 The advisibilitv or eatnblishiiiff I the prison further out into country upon larger tract of land, operated by prison labor, so as to make the insti tution as near self sustaining as pos sible. "Resolved, that any expenses incur red by said commission while in per formance of these duties, when ap proved by the board, shall be paid from funds of the Oregon state peni tentiary." Governor Pro testa The resolutions were adopted against a protest from Governor Withycomlie. "The governor is held rcwnsible by the people of the state for the adminis tration of the penitentiary," he said, will is laates ana escorts. Doolittle & Bergholz, Props. mm 1 ft sr.

The commission should be com posed of three of the broadest gunged men in the state, men of the highest ideals." lie was reassured by both Secretary of Stute Olcott nnd Stute Treasurer Kay that they were fully in conformi ty with this view as to he personal attributes of the commission members. They have no desire, they said, for n divided commission, which the govern or insisted would result should the ap pointment be made by the board in stead of by himself. The appointments will be made Inter. The board decided to cnll a meeting of the emergency board for the Hth of September to meet the deficiency which has arisen through the flux ex periment. There will be t000 on hand after paying all expenses for the month of August, and the total ex pense it is estimated will amount to between $15,000 and $18,000. The cost for labor alone in the flax department amounts to $2000 for the month of Au gust. There arc yet 12.1 acres of flax yet to pull, which will probably require two weeks. Jn the matter of repairs to the sol diers' home at Roseburg, recently dam ngod by fire, it was decided by the board to take no action pending the meeting of the legislature. Action looking to needed improve ments at several of the state institu tions, particularly the school for the feeble-minded ami the hospital for tu berculosis patients was deferred until the annual reports from the institu tions shall have been filed.
