THE SECOND DAY
OF the Oregon State Fair q
Great Success.
Every Feature Of the Program Carried Out ara
Fakes and Gamblers NOTABLE for
Their Absenee.

Plenty Of amusements but few fake:
and gamblers characterize the Oregon
State Fair this year. The exhibits in all
departments are all record breakers.
Let the weather do its worst this fair
is success.
PRECEDENT Wehrung absolutely shut
down on the pool sellers running the
race rack. In former years that gang
have been known TO hold a race half al
hour until they had everything fixed.
Their rustlers would own the judges, ar.
range the entries, bribe the jockeys aud
sell the race. The crowd would bet on
four or five different horses, and their
horse would win and everybody would
lose. This game IL broken up it is hoped
forever.
The gate receipts and attendance for
the second day surpassed any day in the
history Of the fair. The feeling IL
general that all the objections Of the
past that the State Fair was only local
exhibition have been removed. State
wide interest and state pride have for
the first time made the fair what state
fair shoul bean exhibit Of the agri.
cultural and horticultural resources Of
the state.

The Hunter Canal R. R.

The lBERIAN was very much
gratified in learning from Mr..
Albert Landry on last Saturday
that Mr.. Overton Cade had visited
his section the day before in the
interest Of the projected railroad
from New Iberia to the Hunter
Canal region.
This road has been projected to
traverse parts of Iberia, Vermilion
and Lafayette parishes with
terminal facilities on the Teche.
It will cross a rich agricultural
section that is to-day without rail
facilities and which section must
depend on long wagon hauls
over bad roads in wet seasons.
The statement is further made
that the work on this road will
begin during the present month.
The right.of-way of the Segura
Sugar Co.'S. railroad, leading west
ward from the factory would make
a most excel. mt route for the new
road, if it could be arranged.

Joseph Jefferson, the actor, owns
a little island near Bob Acres
Station, La, that is a veritable
salt mine. He bought the
property 3 few years ago for a
winter residence, and it was
entirely by accident that he dis
covered recently the fact that the
piece of real estate in question is
situated directly over an immense
mass of solid salt-the largest
block Of salt known to exist any
where in tae world. It is of the
utmost purity, too, being wholly
composed of the finest quality OF
table salt, without the slightest
admiture of any other mineral,
and it's quality is such that one
may take a block Of it and read
q newspaper through it, just
as though it were SO much
glass.
Apparently the whole island,
which is about three hundred
acres in extent, is untlerlaid by
one great body Of salt, which is
struck at a depth of one hundred
feet or 30. Mr.. Jefferson came
aero. 8 it while boring hopefully
for mineral waters, and since then
it has been penetrated through a
yeritable distance Of 2,1OO feet, or
more than a third Of mile
directly downward, without reach
ing the bottom. This was accom-
plished by means Of drills which
yielding cores made it possible to
study the material through its
successive strata with the utmost
accuracy. But there was no varia-
ton with the depth in the quality
of the stuff, which throughout was
pure crystalline table salt Tho

The Round Bale Gin.

On last Saturday afternoon the
fire alarm was sounded. The
cause of the alarm proved to be a
fire in the press of the Round Bale
Gin. Everything was running
along smoothly, when one of the
employees discovered that smart
blaze had started inside the boxing
of the press.
By the use of fire extinguishers
and having plenty of water handy.
they we're able to put out the fire.
All the wood work inside the
casing above the press was badly
charred. The damages to the
press will amount to about five
hundred dollars, besides the loss
of week or more in making the
necessary repairs.
We congratulate the employees
u on their cool headed action and
prOmptness which resulted in saw
ing this valuable factory from
destruction. The origin of the fire
is unknown. 1t may be presumed
to be a match which had been
carelessly dropped into the seed
c ,tton and upon going through the
gin, was ignlted and was blown
into the press with the lint.
There was no hotbOx about the
press which could have caused the
trouble.
