The State fair management sent to Gin
cinDati 10 have its posters printed, and
that paper, most deserved.y, "everlast-
ingly sets down on ths Society, ca ling
this act by Its proper name, an outrage.
1t says perhaps it will be well for the
printers and publishers of Oregon to let
the managers of the State fair look to
Cincinnati for THAR customers" and
when the Cincinnati bills get here we
shall know when the State fair Is to be
held. And perhaps in few weeks the
managers of the State agricultural So
ciety will give some notice OF their
fair 10 lhe people Of Oregon through the
Cincinnati newspaper" It will be serv.
ing the fair right If Oregon newspapers
one and all will let it gloriously alone,
not even publishing its dates withou;
ten cents lire is handed in. A State
fair without the support of the printers
of Oregon will not amount to much.
This same spirit Is displayed alto
gether too much in business circles
generally. No pride seems to be taken
In building up home institutions ofany
kind. It Is libel on the press of Ore

capable or printing a State fair poster

same class in any State In the Union

That Arson Case.

The DEMOCRAT Of last week gave an ac-
count of the arrest of Samuel Findley and
Henry Powjade, charged with burning the
house of Mr. McGee at one of the Wagon
Road toll gates, beyond Sweet Home. On
last Monday Findley was tried for the offease
before Justice George Humphrey. For the
prosecution Mr. White testified that Find.
ley confessed TO having burned the house.
The burning was denied by the defonse, and
several witnesses testified that at the time
the fire occurred, and for some time both be-
fore and after, both Findley and Powjade
were not out of their presence half an hour.
In fact his presence was accounted for, 40.
cording to tho testimony, during about the
whole time. The distance to the McGee
house was nearly mile and half. Justice
Humphrey without any hesitation declared
there was insufficient testimony to hold the
prisoner and he was discharged, as was like
wise Powiade.

there was no road to tie place deSignat-
