REcoNsIoERED DECISION.
In Regard to Proposed AgricuI-
turai Fair-Benton Court.

An order has been made bv
the Benton county court that will
be very gratifying to the people
or Benton generally, and espec-
iallv so to the committee in
charge of the proposed school
children's agricultural fair to be
held next August. THIS order
in full is as follows:
''In the matter of an Agricui-
tural Fair to be held in Benton
county the last of August, 1907,
having come on for further con-
siieration upon petition pre-
sented by the committee having
the matter in charge; and the
court being more fully advised
in regard to the probable nextet
of this tair and the necessity that
may exist for space to properly
make display of the exhibits
as outlined by the committee,
and while the court is inclined
to think that lar tabernacles
placed on the court house lawn
would be more convenient for the
pubic and for a display of ex-
h:bits at that time of the year;
yet, ii the committee should
think otherwise, upon further
consideration the court, having a
desire in every Legitimate and
proper way to make the fair a
success,
Ii is ordered that an addition
to the sum of $Ioo appropriated
in aid of said fair at its Decem-
Der 1896 term, an additional ap-
preparation OF $Ioo be aud the
same is hereby authorized. That
IN addition to the use OF the
court house grounds and the
seven large vacant rooms in the
court house, including the county
court room on the first floor, can
be used for the exhibit, and if
further room is needed the circuit
court room can also be used for
the same purpose, by first care
fully removing the seats and fur
niture in the room to some ad-
jacent room and having the TAIL
ing covered with cloth, all to be
under the supervision of the jani-
tor"

About Hunters Licenses.

There will be no pleading ig-
norance of the game laws of Ore
gon, by hunters who take out
licenses this year, and those who
violate the law hoping to escape
on the old, threadbare excuse of
'sI did mot know" will be up
against it. -.
Hunters licenses this year
have the game laws of the state
printed in full on the back, so
the man who buys a license also
procures copy of the law to guild {
him safely through the tempta-
lions of the various "open" and
"closed" seasons.
Persons who took out licenses
last year-Iooo-are requested to
take notice OF the tact that such Ii.
ceuses are of no oacconntafter Dec.
ember 31st. and new ones mus,
be secured Of the county clerk, il
the hunters would avoid trouble.
A license is good only fo, tbs
year in which 1t is issued and OF
December 31st, that year, tick
pires and new one must be OBJ
tanned at the clerks Office.

sutd ten licenses for 1907

OREGON SELECTS SITE.
Have Chosen Location for Build
ing at Exposition.

The first site for a state build
ing at the Alaska-Yukon-P Pacific
Exposition was selected Deceln-
Der 2o by the Oregon provision
al committee appointed by Gov
ernor Chamberlain for that pur-
pose.
TIE ground chosen is one Of
the most beautiful and advanta-
geous plots on the exposition
grounds. 1t is two acres In ex-
tent and commands an unob-
seructed view of Lake Washing
ton on which the grounds border.
Standing at the intersection OF
the Yukon avenue and another
boulevard running at right ang-
les with it, the building will
face the Forestry building and
circle that will surround one Of
the principle bandstands. A
pennant bearing the word Ore
gon," which was planted by
President WeErune of the COM
mission, now waves proudly
over the site, which will practl-
cally belong to Oregon until af-
ter the worlds fair closes.
1t was decided by the commits
sion to recommend to the forth
coming session of the Legislature
an appropriation OF at least $780,
600 Tor Oregon's. participation.
Fifty thousand dollars of the ap-
propriation will be used for the
erection of a handsome building.
The commission will recommend
that a collective and competitive
exhibit be made. This means
that all of Oregou's exhibits at
tue exposition will be displayed
IN her building and that she will
take advantage OF the exhibit
rule that will permit such col &C.
tive displays to be entered for
awards. This plan which was
first carried out at the Lewis and
Clark Exposition, makes 1t pos
sible for the visitor to view all of
the exhibits from his home state
without visiting eight or ten
laIge buildings.
It was suggested by the COM
mission that the Washington
state building, which is now as
signed a site near the main en-
trance, be placed on a slightly
plot to the right OF the Oregon
building. This would make the
structures of Washington, Ore
gon and California near each
other and in the order in which
the states are on the map.
The members of the commits
sion state that Oregon will make
a larger and better exhibit at the
Alaska Yukon Pacific Exposition
than it has ever done at any pre-
vious worlds fair. President
Wehrung asserts that Oregon
gives. the other states OF the Pac-
ihc Northwest fair warning that
it intends to come to Ssattle in
1907 to carry off every award
possible.

Banta Hen VS. the Incubator.

The breeding of fancy chickens
and pneasants at Corvallis is oe-
coming quite a profitable indus
try, and to get at the cheapest
plan and the most convenient
way of raising these birds, four
OF our distinguished citizens met
a few days ago to discuss plans
F. L. Miller and S. B. Bane
thought the incubator was the
thing, while E. E. Wilson and
Gene Simpson thought the banta
hen was sit" Arguments pro
and con would have convinced
any fair minded jury that both
sides were right.
Miller would tell how MANY
Buff Orpingsons, Plymouth
Rocks, White Wyandotees, Buff,
Brown and White Leghorns he
could hatch out of 50 many fer
tile eggs with Peta]uma incuba-
tor, and Bane would tell how
many game chickens, Golden,
Silver, Lady Amherst, English
Ring-neck and China pheasants
he could hatch with the same
kind of a machine. Then Will
son would tell how many pleas
ants he had raised with his Buff
bantas and the sleek tongued
Simpson said be had sort of a
''go as you please lot of bantas"
but they were the genuine article
for eggs and for incubating pur-
posss, and to prove it he told
the following storV
i kept little bants hen
along through the spfings Ud-
der my shed I had three empty
cider-barrels that I had before
the town went dry. These were
filled with wheat and every time
this banta wanted to lay she ate
just enough grain to make room
for the egg. Finally she had
laid the barrel full Of eggs and
had eaten every bit of grain in
the barrel, and so she started to
set. l wanted to break her up
so I headed up the barrel. That
did not stop her. She sat on
the bung hole in the top of the
barrel and in three weeks hatch
ed every egg, and the chickens
came out of the bung hole one at
a time to meet their mother"
"That beats all your incuba-
tors" said Wilson. Miller look
ed at Baue and said, "lets pray"
Bane fervently respou led,
"Amen," and they adjourned.

INVENTED BY A M
Reveled Rail Joint That Prevents
the Jolting of Railway
Cars.

Mrs. l. J. Crawford of st. Joseph
Mo-, has just invented a rail joint that
promises to entirely eliminate a great
TO travellers on railways
and, what is more, reduces the posi-
bility of danger from train wrecking.
The device is called. the Crawford
Joint but it might be very aptly
styled the joint without a jolt. Mrs.
Crawford claims for her invention
that it will overcome the everlasting
clicking and jolting which is n of
the unpleasant features of travel over
the rails now in use on all lines. 1t
consists merely in beveling the ends Of
the rails. Instead of chopping the
rails square at the ends, as is now
done. and fastening them together by
means of plates to a shank, Mrs.
Crawford would nave the rails cut off
obliquely, with a very gradual taper
toward a point, and would then place
the tapering ends together, one over
tapping the other, and would hold
them in place by means Of bolts.
The Crawford joint will probably be
six or seven feet in length, long
enough to give space for three or more
ties to support it. This is cheaper
than the old way, since ne plates are
necessary.

A HUMAN CONVENIENCE.
Railroad Owner Who Preferred Brake
men to Machines for
Hanging.

A certain western railroad which
has not yet been "~reorganized" by
Wall street is still owned and operated
by the blunt-spoken old lumberman
who built it. Last year, after a par
ticularly severe accident upon it, the
agent for an automatic block signal
system called and tried to get a con
tract for installation, says Youths
Companion.
The old lumberman examined the
device attentively, and seemed much
interested.
Your chief engineer recommends it
highly" said the agent. HE told me
TO use his lame with you, and he
would see you later"
WAL" said the Iumberman, Il reck-
on it is a pretty machine. like to Sit
here and see it work myself, it's so all
fired sure. But come to using it on my
road-n6w, young Teller, I've been
running a railroad some longer'n you,
and I'll tell you something.
Accidents is bound to happen about
once in SO often, no mat er what you
do. I've got three brakemen in jail
now, and I've vowed to hang the next
one. and the public is pretty well sat
isied. But what satisfaction is it
going to be for anyone if / go to work
and hang an old automatic machine?"

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
In ths Western States They Are
Being Introduced Very
Rapidly.

That the cost of operation OF one
OF the big western limited trains is AN
enormous item may be conjectured
from the fact that in the 2,309 mile run
from Lake Michigan to the Pacific
coast these heavy trains must sur
mount an altitude of nearly 1900 feet.
from a height Of $50 feet above sea
level at Chicago, the initial point. This
climb, says the Pittsburg Post, may be
realized when 1t Is learned that the
pennsylvania railroad in crossing the
A~lleghanies has to ascent not more
than 1000 feet from an altitude Of 700
feet at Pittsburg, and almost every
one knows what the grade is on the ia
nous Horseshoe curve. When the trans
continental train reaches Los Angeles
IL mas descended to a bare 266 feet
the level of the Pacific. Small
n it is then that the eye of the
connoisseur in mechanics gazes in adj
OF the latest Pacific type turned out
by the Baldwin shops for the draught
or these heavy trains across the Rock
les n the Sierras; and even the ANA
teur in railrOading can see from the
observation car as the train speeds
along that the roadbed is perfect, the
grades and curves as easy as they
could possibly be made, the ballasting
all that could be desired and the loco
motion as even as though the train
were prODelled along a CLASSY surface
as smooth as that of a tranquil pond.
Yet the 2,309 miles from Chicago to
Los Angeles are covered with an aver
age of about 35 miles to the hour. OF
course this comparison suffers with
the so miles per hour maintained by
the 18-hour trains of the Pennsylvania
and Lake Shore railroads between
New York and Chicago, but it must
be remembered that these roads have
reached the utmost perfection in rail-
road development; that much of the
right Of way is occupied by four tracks
and none of it by less than two; that
the distance on which the speed Is
maintained is approximately but 800
miles, against the 1900 miles OF trans
continental roadway under discussion,
and of these 1900 miles by this route
only 488 of it is double track.
But they are learning fast how to
railroad in the west.

RAILWAYS IN SOUTHWEST.
Fer More Than Half the Activity
Said to Exist West of the
Missouri.

During the year 1905 about 5000
miles of railway has been built in the
United States, of which the south
western states are credited with 1,1O6
miles, or more than any other group.
Texas is second in the list, with 337
miles, and Louisiana, of which a large
portion is west of the Mississippi riv-
er, is third with 243 miles. Missouri.
which was at the head Of the list in
1904 with 364 miles, is about the mid
die this year, its new construction
standing at 80 miles. Nearly half the
new mileage completed is in the states
and territories with which Missouri is
closely in touch. Illinois is sixth, with
1879 miles. Arkansas, Oklahoma and
Mississippi are not far below. New
Mexico and Indian Territory have each
added more than 100 miles to their ag-
gregate.
Far more than half the activity III

sippi. More construction is going for.
ward in the northwest than for sew
eral years past, a fact due to new en-
.terprises reaching toward the Pacific
coast. North Dakota leads all the
states this year, with its 525 miles OF
new railway. The six New England
states are down to rs Z lies, and the
middle Atlantic states to 252 miles. In
the south Atlantic and gulf states the
total is over 1900 miles. Less than a
fifth of the railway building of 1903
was in the territory OF the original
colonies. The southwest makes a con-
tinued fine showing, without including
Mexico, where railway development Is
at a high mark.
