The Coming Fair.

For many years the state fair has
been a reunion of pioneers and far
mers and their families. Before
railroads traversed the state the
annual pilgrimage was Il reminder
of the long journey across the plains
from the old home to the new.
They not only saw the exhibits and
compared notes on the fine stock,
but the families had a fine social
time "in camp" For this purpose
the fair grounds with its ample space
and oak groves was well selected
Although many now come on the
trains, not a few bring bedding and
the usual camping outfit and pitch
their tents as of yore. The late
spring rains make it probable that
the present fine weather will last
through the present month. If so,
the attendance of campers and visi-
tors is likely to be very great.
The secretary reports that the
applications for space are very large,
and that the show of live stock will
be extra in amount and kind.
All who have any idea of exhibit
ing should send to Secretary
Gregg, Salem, for premium cata-
logues, Remember it is not IA few
magnificent articles that make the
fair attractive and interesting, but
as large a variety as possible of
creditable productions, from farm,
garden, orchard, stable, poultry yard,
dairy, kitchen, loom, workroom,
factory and fruit dryer.
At the race track more horses and
finer than usual will show their
speed and mettle, the directors hav-
ing decided TO offer a purse of 81 900
fora special trot, probably on the
last day of the fair. This is exclu-
sive of the $l5, 900 offered for prem
ums. 1t will be remembered that
the coupon tickets for the six days
entrance are for men $3.50, for wOm-
en- 81 day tickets, men, 80 cents
women, 25 cents.

WOmau's Relief

Earth has no sorrow that heaven
cannot hcal,n whether arising from
physical, mental, or moral sources.
Tho promises and consOlatiOnS of
the gospel furnish abundant
remedies for all spiritual or mental
woes, and the Creator has stored, in
the kingdom of Nature, remedies
for every physical ailment. For
ages these remedies were allowed to
lie dormant, through the ignorance
of mankind as to their uses, and for
ages more but little attention was
given to remedies for the peculiar
attliCtiOn of woman, who was looked
upon and trCatcdaS slave 10y lordlN,
aud then brutal man, and her suffer-
ing regarded with hCastlN inditicr-
cncc. In later times, science and
Christian philanthropy have come
to her relief, dCvising remedies for
her peculiarweaknCssCs, which have
been combined in DR. Piercc's
Favorite Prescription, remedy
that cures the pains, aches, nausea,
displacement, wasting and dehili-
tating Affections to which she is
constantly exposed. "FAVorite
Prescription is the only medicine
for women, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee from the mauu-
facturers, that it will give satisiNc-
tion in every case, or money Will be
refunded. This guarantee has been
printed ON the hottle-wrnppcr, and
faithfully carried out for many
years.

AN ODOROUS COMPARISON.
How a Former MinneSOtian Describes
the Winters and Billiards of
That State.

Mr.. b. G.. Dove, i'm the JOURNAL
office lately gave vent SO freely to
his belief that Oregon is vastly pre-
ferable to Minnesota that it is
deemed worthy of place i'm these
columns. As he comes from Red
wood county i'm the southern part of
that state, admitted to be about the
best, his testimony has the more
weight. He is delighted with this
climate. If he should get tempor-
arily discouraged he has only to
"think backn where he came from
and Immediately become thankful
for the change he has made. He
was long troubled with dry asthma
but finds great relief from it here.
He can tell of sudden changes there
that he knows nothing of here.
For instance he has seen the tenn
perature go from 10 above to 40
below zero in three hours. He has
started TO the postotfice that was
less than half mile from his house
and a blizzard would meet and turn
him back. II would fill the air
with snow so thick that before
reaching home he could not see
three rods ahead with the
wind at his back, and soon after
it was impossible to distinguish Il
man twelve feet Away. He has had
to dig through frozen ground, in
gravel land, seven feet thick. With
all the advantages of this country
he wants no more Of it. The pro
ductiOns of this state also are so
much superior that he is charmed.
Wood for fuel and building here is
so plentiful, there 80 dear. Such
Bartlett pears as we raise here can.
not be bought there by the bushel or
peck. They are 10 to Is cents apiece. |

John Anderson, a peculiar look
ing and mild hammered man, with
long hair and light whiskers, aged
about 80, has been working in a
thresher crew. He quietly dis
charged his duties, neither asking
nor answering questions not even to
the extent of uttering q yea or n
nay. On Saturday the crew dis
banded, and he took up his abode in
an empty barn, near John Duucan's
house, near Lincoln. At night he
entered the house and went up stairs
evidently demented, and told Mr..
Duncan that the Jews were all dis
charged and that he, Duncan, must
give up the house and leave at once.
1t was impossible to talk him out
of his insane idea, and he became
violent and attacked Mr.. Duncan.
1t took the united efforts of that
gentleman, his wife and father, to
secure and bind him that he might
be taken to town for examination
and treatment.

Mr.. j. NJ. Wright, cousin of John
c., president of the board of trade,
the eastern agent of the Oregon
Land Company, called at this office
to-day and gave II very interesting
account of how immigration matters
appear across the Rockies. His
particular work has been to ditiuse
information about the Willamette
Valley generally and Salem in
particular. He has Il number of
families headed for Oregon, and
more were about to start, but We're
prevented by an outbreak ofmalarial
fever. He says we may look for
considerable Immigration this month
and next, but the great hearvest of
all the advertising now being done
will not be reaped till next spring.
In an experience of fifteen years in
land selling in the east he found
that from October to March was the
main time for selling farm. He
fully believes that the widespread
scattering of information about
Oregon that is now being done
will bring many westward. He
justly complains about an apparent
discrimination against Salem by
the railways. On none on the roads
will they sell II ticket direct to the
capital of Oregon, it must he to
Portland, the "hub," whether you
come by the Northern Pacific or
Short Line from the north, or by
the Southern Pacific, through
And, of course, other
towns in Oregon suffer in like man
ner This is manifestly unfair and
ought to bc rectifed. Mr.. Wright
