D1ED.-Hon. J. r. Moores died at
Portland las Friday. Death was
caused by apoplexy and was quite un-
expected. 1t grieves us to chronicle
that this man has passed away He
was indeed true man, honest and just
to all. lie has occupied many positions
Of honor and trust and always with Ten.
eft TO those he served and with high
credit to himself. lie was speaker of
the house of representatives of the Ash
Oregon Legislature and his rulings char
acterized him as fair and honorable
above and beyond all partizan consider
ations. To his family in this sad hour
we extend deepest sympathy. We
mourn a good friend gone but during
life will honor and cherish his memory
ure and without blot or stain.

ARE FAIRS BENEFICIAL ?

Agricultural Fairs when properly
conducted, yield their frsits, there is
no doubt. The gathering Of so many
people who exchange words of greet
ing and view the handicraft of man, to
praise the thoroughbred cattle, the
sheep, the poultry and the fine strain
of horses on exhibit What does all
this lead to? 1t tends to widen the
views of men and give them a broader
knowledge of things they knew but
little Of before Each succeeding year
brings on exhibition larger and
more varied collection of thorough
bred animals and choice variety of
grains. 1: is evidently great benefit
to the farmer and should be well
patronized. There is considerable
objection, at times, raised over the
tracing program" This feature of
agricultural fairs cannot be dispensed
with. There must be something new
to attract each day, and to enthuse
the astute farmers of this section, moth
ing pleases them so well as a display
of fine horses in a spirited contest.
From this show of the speed of the
horse, owners of horse flesh are more
anxious to raise trotters. In this un-
dertaking better strain of blood is
sought after, and hence the farmer is
benefited by having lot of fine
horses to display. 1t is also the same
in regard to other class of exhibits
The industrious man will 60 home
and ponder over what he has seen
and comes to the conclusion that he
has been benefited by attending the
fair. The management of all fairs
should be men of energy and persever
ance, to have success. There should
3. not be a score of holders on, who an
t nually receive compensation, whit
their services could be dispensed with
There are men who will willingly fiji
Q their places at very nominal sum
9 Such questions as these should be con
sidered, and to make fairs beneficial a
: we'll as successful, competent mel
should be appointed to all offices, an'
=, exhibits should be canvassed for.

CONSIDERABLY space is given in
discussing the reading room question,
in this issue. We are of the opinion

uphill work to get room that will
suit all The classes will not mix and
that settles it, Although we will do
what j right and just to forward and
establish a comfortable place for the
Young men of this town. 1t would do
well to canvass among the young men
and find out how many will promptly
attend, and what dues they Will will
ingly pay. If the number docs not
justify the effort to start a reading
room, we think it is useless to discuss
the matter further. Reading rooms
are beneficial when properly con-
Quoted and appreciated, but we feai
that one would not be appreciated, and
as persons cannot be compelled to at
tend, the novelty would soon wear of

ELSEWHERE is n call for an annual
meeting of the Newark Library Assoc
ton. AT the last annual meeting, if
we remember rightly, only a quorum
was present and resulted in the officers
of the association reselecting them
selves for another year. This they
are unwilling to do, without the con-
sent of the stockholders, AS was re-
marked by prominent gentleman at
the first meeting, at was u mutual
admiration society" We are heartily
in favor of library, and if continued,
as it has been heretofore, will result
much more beneficial than would
the much-talked-about reading room.
Reading rooms, in most instances,
start at a pace that is not long kept
up, In other words, they soon degen-
crate. Argument is all good enough
as far as argument goes, but it will
never keep alive a reading room.
Libraries are conducted in different
manner, and in n way both instructive
and interesting. The place for young
men to read is at home or at their
boarding houses, aud not, by any
means, at a reading room. We admire
