gTdTE FAIR.


The Oregon State Fair opened Mon
day under most favorable ciicum-
stances. It IS fact that thus far we
have not had drop of rain and 20
indications Of rain. A state fair with
out rain seems almost impossible, but
old SoPs rays are q little too warm for
comfort and from present indications
will continue to shine bright during
tue entire week. 1t is not possible to
give a report of much of the fair at
this writing. The first day was lively,
as people began to pour in Mt an early
hour in all kinds of conveyances ready
for camping and taking in the fair each
day and the trains from both directions
were well filed To give some idea of
the success of the first day We men
ton the fact that GOO season tickets
were sold, which with the tickets sod
for the day brought to the association
81, $50 and that amount added to the
money paid on entries make the pro-
ceeds about $4,000.
An interesting feature of the fair is
the fine stock, this exhibet is larger
than for years and is very creditable
Among the finest on the ground we
we notice some fine Durham cattle
entered by Mr.. Richards, and fine
merino sheep entered by Hon. D. w.
Stearns of Oakland The pavilion is
we'll filled with almost every variety of
grains, grasses, fruit, etc. D. d. Pret-
lyman is on hand with samples of
grain and grasses collected from Baker
city to Ashland, he has 124 samples of
grain and 100 samples of grasses. We
notice in this exhibit fine specimens Of
wheat from the barns Of J. R. Dodge
| and Thos. Brown, excellent exhibits of
grain and grasses are also made by
A. F. Miller of Multnomrh county,
n. w. Randall of Clackamas, and
Wilkins and Belshaw of Lane. Some
fine dried fruit Is also seen from L. G.
Hill Of Myrtle Creek and corn from
R. D. Sanford of Grants Pass. Mr..
Sanford also has on exhibition and Ia
the different stores Of the city the finest
watermelons We have ever seen, some
of which weigh fifty pounds. He has
here carload Of such melons which is
the seventh car lead shipped from
four acres. The floral exhibit has but
four entries but is very tastefully ar
| ranged and attractive.
The races of Monday were, first,
trotting race, five eighths of mile for
| which there were FIVE entries, and was
won by Jim Merritt; second, trotting
race, $50 class best three in five; there
were six entries, the race was won
sixth heat by Maud Sime 2;3S.
| We notice in attendance from Doug
las, Hon. D. S. X. Buick, member o.
the Board of managers, and Miss Jen
ME Buick both of whom are busilJ
engaged and are among the most active
workers. We also noticed Hon. d. w
Stearns, Hon. E. G. Hprsh, ant
Messrs. Richards, Cannon, Parrot ane
McCurdy,
The officers and members of the
Boardof Directors are active, and work
faithfully for the success of the associ
alton. The Secretary HON.. T. Gregg
is capable and deserves credit for the
manner in which he performs the
duties of his Office.

KANSAS CORN.

Smiling and beautiful, heavens dome
Bends softly over our prairie home.
But the wide, wide lands that stretched away
Before my eyes in the days of May,
The rolling prairies bilowly swell,
Breezy upland and the timbered del,
Stately mansion and hut fOrlorn,
All are hidden by walls of corn.
All the wide world is narrowed down
10 walls of corn, now sere and brown.
What do they hold-these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn?
He who questions may soon be told,
A great States wealth these walls cnfold,
No sentinels guard these walls of corn,
Never is sounded the warder'S horn.
Yet the pillars arc hung with cleaning gold,
Left all unbarred, though thieves are bold.
Clothes and food for the toiling poor,
Wealth to heap at the rich man door;
Meat for the healthy, and balm for him
Shoes for the barefoOted, pearls to Irvine
In the scented tresses of ladies fine;
Things of use for the lowly cot,
Where bless the corn want cometh not;
IuXuries rare for the mansion grand,
Gifts of a rich and fertile land;
All these things, and so many more
1t would fill book to name them DER,
Are hid and held in these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn.
Where do they stand, these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss on the breeze of morn?
Open the Atlas, conned by rule,
In the olden days of the district school.
Point to the rich and bountoOus land,
That yields such fruits to the toiler's hand.
s'1reeless desertl' they called it then,
Haunted b. boasts- and foI-sook By mea.
Little they knew what wealth untold,
Lay hid where the desolate prairies rolled.
Who would have dared, with brush or pen,
AS this land is now, to paint it thenY
And how would the wise have ones laughed in
scorn
Had prophets foretold these walls of corn,
Whose banners toss in the breeze of morn?
