POLK COUNTY FIRST,
With Finest Exhibit at the Oregon
State Fair.

Polk County has been awarded rst
place in the county exhibit competition
at the State Fair, and consequently
claims TO be the banner agricultural
county in Oregon. A woman, Mrs. F
A. Wolf, of Falls CITY, prepared and ar
ranged the exhibit, assisted by her
daughter, Miss Belle Wolf.
Polk County led only by a scratch,
Linn County coming close second and
Washington a close third. Marion
dropped little further back as fourth
and Lane still further back as fifth.
Yamhill gets sixth place. Douglas
would have had the seventh premium,
but that exhibit was not entered in the
competition Union County's exhibit
was displayed in transit so that it could
not be entered or placed on display, but
arranged in the Union County booth.
The premiums awarded are:
Polk County, Mrs. F. A. Wolf, $3.50;
Linn County, j. R. Douglas, $500; Wash
ngton County. F. M. Heidel and son
$3.50; Marion County, G. 7. Bonney,
5000; Lane County. E. M. Warren, $3.50;
Yamhill County, J. G. Cooper, 800.
Douglas and Union would have received
800 each had they entered.
The deciding feature in favor of Pok
County was number of varieties and az
rangen ent. Polk had large collection
of well-selected articles in perfect copdi-
ton. Linn County has fine exhibit of
both green and preserved fruits, especial
ly of fruits put up in large jars, that
made an excellent display. Washing
ton fell considerably behind in number
of varieties, and Marion drop led off on
quality, though Mr.. Bonney had good
variety. Lane was very strong on grain,
especially oats, but lacked varieties and
was weak on arrangement.
The awards were made by Professor
George Coote, of the chair of Horticulture
and landscape gardening at the State
Agricultural College. Professor Coote
SAYS that the points were very close be-
tween Polk, Linn and Washington and
his award was made only after a close
inspection and the exercise of his best
judgment.
Mrs. F. A. Wolf, the successful con-
testant, has been an exhibitor at the
State Fair for the last 80 years and won
first place in the district competition
five or six years ago. This is her third
exhibit on the county competition. She
has been preparing for this exhibition
ever since the close of the last State
Fair, and has spared no effort that
would help her win In this she has the
very great assistance of her daughter,
Belle, an active, treless lass OF l6 years.

LAW AT FAULT.
Lieu Land Selections at Bottom of
Frauds.

Washington, Sept. 17.-No one in
Washington stands ready to deny
the general charge made by Sen
ator Fulton, that some official, or Of
ficials, of the Interior Department have
been giving out advance information to
land spectators in Oregon and other
states which has enabled them to settle
upon thousands of acres of public lands
which we're 500 thereafter embodied in
great temporary Withdrawals made fer
forest reserve purposes. Unless the
Senator IN kes his charges specific,
names the men who have made
speculative entries, designates the land
that has been so entered, or points ont
the leaks through which speculatois
have obtained advance information, his
allegations will not be given serious cor
sideration by the Secretary of the Iu-
terror. Mr.. Hitchcock is away from
Washington, but We're he here he woul /
not reply to the general statement OF the
Oregon Senator. His subordinates like
wise decline to make reply, and say no
denial will be entered until specific in
stances of fraudulent entry. or the i'm
proper exposure of departmental secrets,
are started.
Land Commissioner Richards is more
frank. 81 have not doubt" said he
today after reading the recent arragn-
ment of Senator Fulton, chat many
speculative entries have been made IN
Oregon, 10 localities referred to by the
Senator. But do not hesitate to say
that no man, in Oregon or any other
vance information which would enable
him to tell what lands we proposed
withdrawing. This is one thing we
have carefully guarded. There may BE-
eaks in the Interior Department or else
where. / don't undertake to speak for
other officers, but there are no leaks
here.
Commissioner Richards went on to
explain that the temporary Withdrawals
are made to head off the very abuses OF
which Senator Fulton complains.
Continuing he said: "They are made
to prevent speculative entries. But in
the making Withdrawals pass through
different bureaus before action is taken
by the Secretary of the interior. The
original outline of temporary with
drawals is usually prepared by the
Bureau of Forestry. on suggestion OF it's
field representatives. Their recon-
mendations go to the Geological Survey,
Land Office for recommendation. Be
fore the Forestry Bureau acts it sends
men into the country where it is thought
forest reserves should be created, and
later representative of the land office
visit these areas.
Commissioner Richards says it i
quite possible that some OF the field
representatives. of the Government may
have become the tools of land specula-
tors, and for consideration made
known the character OF their recon-
mendations, upon which Withdrawals
were subsequently made. The land
spectators. he says, are shrewd, cunning
men, and no doubt they, at times, have

DELEHANTY'S QUAKER
FRIENDS MOURN HIM
Majority of Them Loath to Believe
Their Old Comrade Is Dead.

PHILADELPHIA, July 9.-Baseo ball
players and ether friends and acquaint-
ances Of E. J. Delehanty were losth TO
believe yesterday that the once famous
player had committed suicide. IL lead,
they believe that the man who for years
was one Of the greatest favorltes that
ever wore Philadelphia uniform either
was accidentally drowned or else was
murdered.
As a rule Delehanty was OF a cheerful
disposition. and those who knew him
we'll when he was with the Phillies scout
tho idea that he deliberately took his
life.
According to all accounts, however.
Delehanty has had hard road to travel
since July, 1901. Then it was that he
signed contract to play with the
American League and was accused OF
acting as an agent for the latter organI-
ration. Reverses on the race track, the
trouble he got into by signing to play
for two clubs for this year. the fact that
he wanted to play In New York and not
in Washington and that he had grea;
difficulty IN getting into good playing
condition, as well as other trouble Of
a domestic nature all, however, told Oh
Delehanty's once happy disposition.
II was recalled that Delehanty re-
Gently wanted 10 go TO California to

that the player might yet turn up on

DEMPSEY MAY COACH
POTOHAC'S BOAT CLUB
Mr.. Doyle Makes George

President Doyle. Of the Potomac Boat
Club. is endeavOring to secure the ser
vices OF Dempsey, the Georgetown coach
for the Potomac Club, throughout the
rest of the season.
More interest In boating than usual

River this summer. The success Of the
Georgetown University crew at Pough-
keepsie and the plans for such an i'm

the Middle States regatta. to be rowed
here on Labor Day. has revived the in
terest in boating and the two local
clubs, the Potomac and AnaIostan,
are showing more interest than for sew
eral years past.
President Doyle's decision to obtain
a professional coach for his club IS an
important step along this line. He has
several men under consideration. but
viii probably obtain Dempsey's services

Dempsey is we'll known to many mem
bers OF the club. and would be welcomed

pressed themselves tonight as being OF
the belief Delehanty would be alive to-
day had he been tolerated on the train.
As Michigan Central train No. rolled
into Bridgeburg, Ontario. a town just
across the international Bridge from
Buffalo, the conductor elected Delehanty
from the train because the ball player
had been drinking and was boisterous.
Delehanty was alive enough TO MS sur
roundings TO know that just across the
river lay Buffalo.
