JEFF MYERS IS IN THE CITY
Couldn't Arrange for Wood Ex.
hibit for St. Louis.

Since the announcement from Coos
Bay that Jeft Myers was headed up the
coast, he has been expected in Astoria
/ He arrived late Monday night. With
him was Ed. Giltner. secretary of the
Lewis and Clark fair board. Hon
Richard Scott made the third one OF
| the party.
The mission Of the trio was to secure
the collection of oregon woods belong
| ing TO the Johnson estate, to exhibit at
the st. Louis exposition, They failed.
There is about $1,000 difference between
the valuation fixed by Administrator
Frank Tayor and that of President
Myers.
While here President Myers spoke Of
the Columbia rivers big mouth and said
something about a railroad down the
coast having Astoria for its northern
terminus.
Mr.. Myers breathes only a kind Of
opera bouffe atmosphere and ';eaps you
guessing as to whether he is serious or
jesting blowing hot air or talking from
the depths of his throbing heart. Il
think the papers should aid in procur-
ing exhibits for their localities" he
said. They should do this for the good
of the community. We are working for
nothing. / do all this travelling around
over the state without pay Expenses?
Well OF course must have my "xpens-
es We are just working for a good
exhibit for the fair. There is no poll
tics in the board, Selection OF Ed.
Giltner as secretary proves that. But
the Salem Journal says we are old cast
off politicians interjected Mr.. Giltner
'.and l want to know whether JEFF or
me is meant
President Myers career has been
spectacular. David B. Hill could ap-
propriately apply to the president Of
the state fair board his newly coined
word "spectacularization." Mr., Myers
once served in the state senate. He
was the youngest member Of that body
and his constituents from the forks
Of the Santiam said many humorous
things about their representative in the !
upper house. Through Mr.. Myers a bill
was once introduced in the legislature
for the protection of Missouri 'possums'
in Oregon. As member Of he state (
agricultural society he had many novel /
brought TO the state fair.
Real estate men used to conjure with !
Myers name in boom times.
Who knows but ex-senator Myers as I
president Of the Lewis and Cark state !
fair board is just the man 10 iurn into :

ft Of Oregon.

The death of ZENITH, the half myth

most remarkable IN all history-that is,
if it can consistently Ice called his
torical fact. According to the story,
ZENITH had killed son and brother of
the warlike Fcnnellu. She fer revenge
caused Wiltus, the most ingenious art
list of the time. to fashion an automatic
death dealing machine, wonderful
statue filled with hidden springs, lev
crs, etc. When finished and set up, this
"brazen image was an admirable work
Of art In its right hand it held a basin
and in the left an apple of pure gold
both set with diamonds and other pre-
cious stones. TO touch this apple was
to dare death, it being so arranged that
one guilty Of such vandalism would be
immediately riddled 10y poisoned ar
rows shot from i0ophoi2S i'll the Lody
OF the statue. ZENITH was invited to
come and inspect the wonder, and king
like and just as Fcnnclla had hoped lie
tried to pluck the precious imitation
fruit. The moment his hand touched
the incrustcG jewel he was filed with
poisoned arrows, dying where he fell.

The eruption of chicken poX has an

by the experienced eye. In smallpox
the eruption of papules first appears
on the forehead. the ''papules" always
become ''bladders." and the latter al

sooner or later their contents get
changed into pus. Then the center of
the pustulrs undergoes Il peculiar sink
