THE STATE FAIR
Prospects That Attendance This
Year Will Break All Previous
Records.

The Oregon State Fair this year is
going to be record breaker, in more
ways than one. The races are going to
be very rapid for there are in training
now more horses than have ever been
on the track at this time of the year
and in the Greater Salem Stake for 2 rs
PAGERS $4,000 purse. There are 81 en-
tries in the $4,000 2:17 trot. In the
Lewis & Clark Stake, there are II
entries. In the Rural Spirit Stake 2 III
pace for $1,000 there are 1sentries. In
the Inland Empire Stake for year
old PAGERS for $500 there are II entries
and there are besides II other pacing
and trotting races to say nothing Of
the running races Of which there will
be at least two each day.
The camping ground has been fixed
up, streets laid out and named, camps
numbered and a Camp Grand Mar
shall, will look after the matters there
day and night Water has been piped
into the grounds and other improve
ments made, making it one of the best
camping grounds in the state. Take
your family and tent and enjoy a
week of solid comfort.
All trains of the S. P. r. r. Co. will
stop at the grounds during the week.
The street railway system into
Salem has been thoroughly over
hauled, new cars purchased, the track
widened to standard gauge, and the
roadbed improved, allowing the COM
pany to make 6-minute service and
possibly shorter. The pavilion and
grounds will be lighted by incandes-
cent electric lights, thus giving much
improved sevice.

PRESIDENT RESSLER RETURNS
Says Oregon State Normal School Is
Well Represented at st.
Louis Fair.

President Z. d. Ressler Of the Ore
gon State Normal School at Mon
mouth, passed through Portland
Monday on his return from six
weeks visit in the East, says Tues.
days Oregonian. Like all loyal
Oregonians, he thinks there is no
place like Oregon, and is glad to find
himself once more in the land of
promise.
( While at the st. Louis Fair, Mr..
Ressler made careful study of the
educational exhibit, and picked up
some valuable points for the exhibit
to be prepared for the Lewis and
Clark Fair The State Normal is we'll
represented at st. Louis, but will do
much more at the Exposition next
year, where more space will be
allowed. Preparations will be begun
at once, and faithful representation
of the regular work of the school will
be made up during the school year.
The great Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position is a liberal education il
itself, says President Ressler, and
month there is worth a years study in
the university. His experience in
visiting the Worlds Fairs at Chicago
and Paris enabled him to see a great
deal more in much less time than one
not so equipped, but a little study be-
forehand Of magazine articles and the
excellent official guidebooks, together
with preliminary survey for the flrs t
day or two in order to find out what is
Of greatest personal interest is
valuable preparation for any one
wishing to put in his time to the best
advantage.
President Ressler will remain in
Monmouth until the opening Of the
school year, September 90, except for
occasional short trips to county insti-
tutes. He looks for an increased
attendance next year, for, besides the
usual inquiries from prospective new
students, number of graduates of
the Monmouth and other normal
schools have signified their intention
of enrolling for the advanced course
provided at the last session Of the
Board of Regents.

Sweet Marie Raced at Salem.

Sweet Marie, the mare who won the
big $4,000 stakes at the Empire City
track, in New York, is the same trotter
that was ruled off the track at Salem
last Fall during the State Fair races
The mare was ruled off the track be-
cause the driver was accused of lay
ing up heats. Since then she has been
sent on the grand circuit, where she
has been making quite a name for
herself. She won in two straight
heats, her best time being 2:lO. She
was reinstated at a meeting Of the
National Trotting Association ad-
visory board, held in San Francisco
last February. Durfee, who was
trainer and driver at Salem, has
nothing to do with the mare at the
present time. Telegram.
