PRAISES THE FAIR.
Mr.. Kincaid Speaks Highly
of Ii.

The Eugene Journal
The State Fair at Salem during thi
week, from Sept IL to % inclusive, wa
one Of the best we have ever attended
State Senator Wehr ung, the president
and Mr. d. NJ. Wilson, the secretary
are entitled TO great credit for re-
constructing the fair, introducing new
features, and making IL success 90 far
as the variety and excellence Of the dis
play was concerned. Theonly drawback
was the unfavorable weather. Rain
poured down part Of the time, preventing
a full attendance and cutting down the
receipts. This may prevent il from be.
ing financial success, which il would
have been with fair weather. This was
the 10th annual State Fair, the first
having been held at Oregon City. The
display Of cattle this year was the finest
we have ever seen. The display Of
sheep, goats, hogs horses and poultry
would also do cerdit to any state. The
pavilion was also we'll supplied with
works of.art and useful and ornamental
articles Of various kinds, and with Ore
gon fruit, vegetable, grasses, etc. The
display from the counties Of Lane, Ma.
rion, Linn, Benton and Wasco, and from
the State Agricultural College was very
creditable. A large amount Of agricul.
tural machinery was on exhibition.
The County exhibit was almost entirely
the products raised or collected by
Jasper and r. NJ. Winkins, including a
fine display Of the ores Of the Bohemia
and Blue River mines. They spent
weeks in collecting and considerable
sum Of money in taking the numerous
samples to and from the railroad and in
arrangingand in putting up the exhibits,
which were labeled Lame County" but
was really the exhibit OF the wilkins
family. Lane County received the credit
which properly belonged to them. This
exhibit was seen and admired by
thousands Of people from all parts OF |
Oregon and from other states, for |
and several other States were
represented.

STATION UP TO FIRST STORY
Missouri Pacific Depot. and What 1t
VIII Look Like

The brick work Of the first story of the
new Missouri Pacific station is almost
completed and the station is looming up
on a scale of grandeur more than the
business men on West Douglas avenue
anticipated. The building, as it grows, is
much larger than the average citizen ex-
pected it would be The main building
sets back about ten feet from the side
walk. OF course all this space will be
paved. The building has a high basement
and on top of this VIII go two stories
and very high garret The elevation of
the structure viii be that Of a three story
and half building and with cupola on
the corner which will give the edifice
further heighth. Already guesses are be-
Ing made that next to the county build
ing and the city building it will be the
handsomest structure in the city, down
town, and excepting, Of course, the col
leges. Architecturally the new station is
fun of attractive hooks, oriole windows
and artistic angles. The sashes and
doors are built on graceful lines. The
brick IS Of the finest pressed variety. OF
a good color and the stone work is as
good as there is in the world.
The first story shows that when COM
pleted it will be easily the best and most
attractive passenger station in the state
of Kansas.

IT OUGHT TO BE GREAT
Agitation for Brilliant Entrance TO
Street Fair

Everyone who is interested in the COM
ing Carnival is talking hard for a bril-
liant entrance. The first scene in a play
tells whether the play is 10y a master:
the first line in a book tetlls whether the
author is a genius. The first sentence in
a speech tells whether the speaker is an
orator. A brilliant entrance viii make
the Street Fair. The p~ettiest thing at
the Fair last year was the entrance.
When visitor saw its classic outlines
beaded with light and at its summit a re-
volving ban Of fire. his heart was won:
he voted for the fair; he decided 70 so
back home and tell the people not 70
miss it. plan is now on foot TO oatdo
the entrance Of last year. to make Il 4
thing Of wonderful beauty. OF tmeole
grandeur and over it and al Its sides and
through it. TO set spinning wheels Of
liquid crimson light. in fact, to make it
the most gorgeous thing this side OF
Paris. It ought to be done The Carni-
val is TO be a marvellous creation Of
beauty and its hand Of welcome should

Before ten days more it will be known
definitely how soon Wichita will take
that rank among western markets TO
which her location, her prestige, her en-
terprise entities her.
Every body appreciates what another
big pay roll in Wichita means in the re-
tail lines. But more important than that
IS the movement which is to receive its
initial energy tonight, which viii place
Wichita as a live stock market alongside
Kansas City and Omaha. No one can
reckon the advantages Of such a, thing or
fts far reaching benefit to Wichita It
embraces every retail, every wholesale

and value to every brick that stands in
the city.
From that meeting tonight viii go up

ROCKEFELLER REPORTED ILL
Recently Passed Through Wichita for
Western Kan-aa Ranch.

Mr.. Frank Rockefeller of Cleveland, O.,
who recently passed through Wichita for
his rancho in Comanche county, is re-
ported seriously i'll. Mr.. Rockefeller is a
brother of John D. Rockefeller and owns
one Of the largest ranches in Kansas.
Heretofore he has not spent a great deal
OF time on the ranch and then merely for
recreation. During the past year, how
ever after his falling out with his broth
er. he has spent most Of his time in Sc
clusion on the ranch. It is reported thtat
his family troubles have weighed heavily
upon him end it is believed that this is
the indirect cause of his sickness. So
far as is known here, he is unattended
b. any relatives.
The facts Of Mr.. Rockefeller's condi-
ton came to the surface here through a
tip from Cleveland, 0. Mr.. Rockefeller s
home. It seems that his foreman tele-
graphed relatives at Cleveland from the
ranch, informing them of his condition
and urging them to come Immediately.
Some Of the Cleveland papers got hold of
the news and have been wiring to differ
ent points in Kansas for particulars,
which have been impossible to obtain.

SHOT At
While Going Through a Corn
Field to Battle.
HIS ASSAlLANT UNKNOWN
No Clue to the Identity of the
WouId-be Murderer,

Mr.. A. S. Fletcher, who resides in the
east part of town on Murdock avenue,
was severely wounded by the discharge
Of shot gun In the hands Of some mis-
creant on last Saturday night
Mr. Fletcher has been in the habit, af-
ter his labors of the day, Of walking
down to Chisholm creek to enjoy a bath
In the placid waters Of that stream. AS
usual, on Saturday night he started from
home and entered cornfeld near the
creek, thinking to save some distance in
reaching the accustomed place.
On coming to the center of tho field he
suddenly met a young man with shot
gun. AS soon as the man saw Fletcher
he pointed the gun at him and command
ed him to halt, which he did. The young
fellow then asked Fletcher what he
wanted and where he was going. Mr..
Fletcher in reply to his questions told
him that he was, as usual, going over
to Chisholm creek and that it was his
custom to take a swim there.
The young man did not say anything
for some time, but continued to keep the
gun pointed at Mr.. Fletcher. He finally
commanded Mr.. Fletcher to turn the
other way and leave the field as fast as
he could. This Mr.. Fletcher started to
do, but before he could get away the
young man raised the gun and fired, the
shot, which was of small size, taking
effect in the lower part of Mr.. FTetcher's
limbs. 1t was with some difficulty that
he reached his home, but after treatment
is on the road to recovery.
Mr.. Fletcher related the circumstances
of the shooting and an investigation OF
the field was made but no one was found
There were tracks, however. but whether
there had been other people there be-
sides the young man it could not be as
certained.
The matter IS being looked into as
much as possible, but as there are no
clues the miscreant will probably not be
found. The theory has been advanced
that there was stolen property hidden in
the field and that the young man had
been detailed to guard 1t. Another
theory advanced was that several parties
were getting corn from the field, but
place where the corn had been removed
has not been found.

FLAG GOOD ENOUGH PASSPORT
Charles Hatton. Returned From

Charles Batt0n. Returned From
France, Relates One Experience.
'Just take these American flags" said
the consul, "and the next Frenchman
who stops you, wave them under his nose
and ride on This is the climax of a
story Mr.. Charles Hatton tells. Mr.. Hat
ton is just home from a bicycle tour of
Belgium, France, Switzerland, England,
and Italy. He left his companion, Mr.
Musselman, in the east. zone day." said
Mr.. Hatton yesterday, eve put up at a
tavern between Paris and Lyon. The
host was a fine fellow and everything
was going on with accustomed smooth
ness when fat neighhor called to look
US over. He was garrulous and of11cious
and having sNsAd US up asked US if we
had our passports. We told him they
were not necessary in France He de-
clared they were. We insisted they were
not. He rustled out and got an officer.
The officer came to us and demanded our
passports. We told him they were not
necessary. He said he was in doubt and
he would have to zee the mayor. The
mayor wasn't at home. So the officer
took our wheels and everything else away
and we were put under custody at the
hotel. The next morning we were taken
before the official, who is practically
mayor. He thought we should have had
passports, but finally gave in and let US
so in peace. We were hot and the next
American consul we found we made COM
plant.
No passports are necessary in France
What is necessary when you enter Paris
is permit to live in Paris" which you
must get from the ambassador. We had
left this behind in Paris, and If we could
have shown it would have probably been
unmolested.
However, we told the consul, and he
smiled and said: ooh. they stop me too.
I can't issue passports
''But, can't you give us something.
some paper, we asked, that we an use
as a bluff"
. 'SThe consul went to his desk and took
out two little silk flags Of the United
States and handing them Co US said: You
just take these American flags and the
next Frenchman who stops you. wave
them under his nose and ride on
Mr.. Hatton said they did not have oc-
casion to do SO. The returned trave,er
looks 20 be in the best OF health. The
trip was enjoyed from beginning to end
and he comes back quite a linguist They
saw no one from Wichita while abroad
except Commissioner Allison. Mr Hat
ton says that while the bicycle trip over
Europe is more enjoyable than the rail-
road trip II is more expensive.

With the exception of three days this
maximum temperature is not extraordi-
nary. However, if there were not accom-

grafton of two and one-tenth inches. The
evaporation at night Is very rapid.
