Prospects for a Big Display
and Good Business.
If They Will Abolish Deadheads :and
Take III More Than They Pay Out.

There is no reason why the state
and district fairs should rot be con.
Quoted successfully in Oregon thi:
year.
They can be if the managers don't
try to give everybody hundred cent:
worth of fun for seventy fiye cents.
Secretary Gabrielson lhas already
received enough intimations from all
kinds of sources to convince him that
the state fair this year will be good
one with "fair" management.
The Studebaker Co., will occupy all
the space now available. The Mitch
ell Slayer Co., wants to use fifty feet
extension on the building.
The ParliD & Oreudorff Co., Of Can
ton, ILL.,, want!fifty feet of building
added for display. e, f. Parkhurst
wants to put in show to beat them
all; but will not exhibit on "grass" or
under canvass,
This year is the time for them to
catch up and we believe they will try
to do it.
The movement for big display Of
agricultural implements is already
tlking form. While the implement
firms are not entitled to haye the
whole fair turned over to them, they
can be relied upon to add wonderful
attractions, and will do so if treated
literally, but they should be asked
to set up some displays that have not
been shown here before, and we are
satisfied they will do so.
There was never better prospect of a
crop than at present in Oregon. Some
of our products will bring good
prices. Why shouldn't there be a
good fair? or all that's good Oregon
produces are best, except politicians.
The State Fair Board has reputa-
tion at stake for financing.
Salem and the country for forty
miles around contributes three
fourths of the support of the fair.
The entrance fee is now so cents and
if those who are best able to pay are
made to pay by abolishing free passes
there will be money enough to run
the fair and to spare.
The fair can be properly financed,
all free passes abolished, all the de-
partments put under competent su-
perintendence and made a great sue
cess with or without the consent of
the Portland horse racing ring that
has doue all it can to ruin the fair.
There is good opportunity to con-
duct successful state fair this year.
AS usual, the managers will be asked
to exert themselves to the utmost and
spend one-half of all their funds on
horse races. While the people are
not opposed to legitimate trials OF
speed of all kinds, land we for one be
lieye foot race is more exciting than
a horse race) they are opposed to
making the whole fair and all its 6usi-
ness management reyolve around the
race track, and pool counters.

Weighing the BABY.

The story is of a young an devoted
father. The bIby was his first, and he
wanted to weigh it.
"Irs a bumperr' he exclaimed,
"Where are the scales?'
The domestic hunted up an old-fash-
ioned pair, and the proud father as
sumed charge Of the operation.
''I'll try it at eight pounds" he said,
sliding the weight along the beam at
that figure.
''It won't do. Sac weighs ever so
much more than that"
He slid the weight along several
nOtches farther.
"By GeOrger' he said, 'shs weighs
more than ten pounds-ll-12-lS-l4,
Is it possible?"
He ss.t the baby and the scales down
and rested himself a moment.

ed, resuming the weighing process.

sashes of Surgeons.

A great many people do not know
why army surgeons wear green sashes.
It is not so much an insignia of rank
as it is a protection to the wearer. Ae-
cording TO the code of war surgeons are
never shot or taken prisoners. To de-
diberately shoot surgeon while he Is
wearing his sash is considered viola
ton of the code, punishable by death,
saws the Omaha World-Herald
Because of this provision surgeons OF
one army never refuse to look after the
wounded of the other army If it is pos
sible for them to do so. During the
civil war It was often the ease after a
battle the field hospitals would contain
almost an equal number of men dress
ed in blueand gray. The Federal army
had the best surgeons aud the best
stores, and wounded confederate con-
sidered himself in great luck to be cared
for by federal surgeons and physicians.
But in the heat of battle green sash
is not much protection, and surgeons
were often wounded or killed. But this
did not keep surgeons at the rear until
the battle was over. They were often
found in he thick of the fray, dressing
wounds and sending the wounded to
the rear. Theirs was periIous as well
as a noble duty. and they performed it
we'll.

Or the wreck that lies:on the sproufing reef
Where the ghastiy blue lights flare;
II blood be the price of admiralty,
Good God, we have bought II fair
-Rudyard Kipling-
