pairing exhibits for fairs and his
knowledge will be Of much aid to the
committee in properly preparing and
arranging the specimens. On Mr..
Thomas will largely devove the duties
Of auditor for the committee and his
business methods will be Of value in
holding the expenses down to the
lowest limit consistent with judicious
expenditures The members Of this
committee, while all men OF large
business affairs, have shown a COM
mendable public spirit in accepting
their appointments, for in carrying
out the duties deyolving upon them,
very much OF their time will be taken
for the next two months while the
material for the exhibit is being
gathered and installed. They will
receive no salary whatever, and even
were they so disposed, there is no
possible chance for graft 10 be worked

To have charge Of the exhibit at the
fair, the county court appointed Dennis
Stoyall, the well known newspaper

has visited every section Of Josephine
county and is as familiar as any man
in the county with the resources and
advantages that this county has to
offer to the homeseeker and the in
vestor. Mr.. Stovall has no personal
interests in any one industry or I'm
vestment and lie should be able to
impartially present the strong points
Of every interest represented in the
Josephine county exhibit at the
Lewis and Clark fair. While the
salary has not been definitely argeed
upon, yet Mr.. Stoyall assured Judge
Booth and Commissioners Low yslace
and Logan that he should expect no
big pay. This matter will be ar
ranged this week.

the work of getting exhibits and it is
expected to have good SHOW ing in
minerals, timber, grains and grasses

be had, this exhibit will be increased
The fruit and farm exhibits will lie
installed as fast as obtainable and il
the farmer will cooperate, as they are
quite sure to do, Josephine county

complete exhibits of this class that
will be seen at Portland's big fair.

His Honey Was Gone.

A man about town, who is fond of
good corn-pone and honey, visited a
neighboring town on the Eastern Sho'
recently, and at one of the hotels he
was served with some delicious corn
bread and honey. He enjoyed it so
much that he told his wife all about it
when he returned home.
On his next trip to the country she
accompanied him. They visited the
same hotel, and when the noon meal
was being served he said to his wife
that he hoped they had some more of
that honey. 1t did not appear, however,
and the man therefore beckoned to a
waiter and said:
Say, Sambo, where is my honey?"
He was. almost paralyZed when that
worthy grinned and replied:
''She doan work here no mo, boss,
she done got job at the silk mill.
The wife received handsome new
Easter dress before they returned home
after making a solemn promise not to
tell the story. Baltimore SIM.

NEW STORY ABOUT sHoNTs.
Former lowan Who Heads Panama
Canal Commission Very Independent.

Fairfield. May 27.-It is said that
when President Roosevelt offered
Theodore P. Shonts the opportunity of
being his 100000 man, Shontz ac-
cepted only on the condition that ne
would have absolute control Of canal
affairs. That this independence Is
characteristic of the man is WELL illus
trated by a little story told by those
who know of him as a little barefoot
boy In Centerville.
When Shontz grew to manhood he
fs i in love with a daughter of the late
Governor Drake. Miss Drake looked
with favor. upon Shontz, but not so the
governor. Finally, however, the oppo-
sition was overcome n preparations
We're begun for the wedding. Before
this, whenever any of his children had
been married, Governor Drake had
presented the couple with a check for
$40, 900. and as the wedding day APP
preached he called Shontz Into his IL
brary to give his future son-in-law the
customary present. The man who was
destined to receive a salary twice that
of the president. hos-ever, positively
refused to accept the small fortune,
saying that the governor needed 1t
worse than he did himself.
