The south bound train was now due

greater number still waited on the
farther platform. The girl in gray
was surrounded by half dozen stu
dents, all talking animatedly. AS l
walked toward them l could not JUS

school girl of 15 or 16 for a grown
woman; but it was the tam-o -shanter,

1t had seemed the easiest thing in
the world to approach her with an
apology or a farewell, but those few
inches added to her skirt and that
pretty gray toque substituted for the

Speaks at Dedication of Mckinley
MdusOIeum.
Thousands Witness Ceremonies at
Csnton-Troops from pn Parts OF
Country Participate-Monument e
Gift of the American People
Cost 5000, 900.

Canton, o., Oct. Ito the many
memorable events which have taken
place in Canton since her most distin-
guished and beloved son, William Me-
Kinley, first entered into the public life
Of the nation, must be added one other,
the. dedication Of the final resting place
of the martyred president and Mrs. Nc
Kinley with solemn and impressive GER
emonies yesterday afternoon.
The occasion was made notable by
the presence of the president of the
United States, by the governors of a
number of states, by members of the
senate and house Of representatives,
justices Of the United States Supreme
court and countless other persons Of
prominence who were associated per-
sonally or in public life with Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
The most striking feature of the pro-
gram, aside from the presence of SO
many men of wide prominence, was
the great parade of military which pre-
ceded the formal dedication of the
mausoleum. The thousands Of troops
in line included detachments of regulars
from nearly all Of the army posts in the
East, South and Middle West. In ad.
dition to these there was a full repre-
sentation Of the Ohio National Guard
The procession moved through the
streets lined with spectators, who
cheered the soldiers enthusiastically
The stars and stripes foated from al
the public buildings and business hous
es along the line of march, and from
hundreds of private residences.
The mausoleum is set upon a hill il
| the picturesque West Lawn cemetery
and it was here that the exercises of tn
day took place. Great attention ha'
been paid to the care and comfort of tn
scores of distinguished persons who hat
been invited to witness the exercise
and to listen to the address OF Presiden
Roosevelt.
The unwilling ceremonies were wit
messed by 5000 persons from the stan'
and 900 more we're seated in the pub
lie stands. 1t is estimated that 100,
900 people from surrounding town
we're also present. Two thousand reg
ular army soldiers and 1000 Ohio mill
tiamen protected President Roosevelt
and other notables and kept the crow
from breaking through the ropes.
The tomb. built at a cost of owe
5000, 600, is the donation of over l
900, 900 Americans to the memory

The STATE FAIR.
Exhibits, While Creditable, Did Not
Do State Justice.

Do State Justice.
The Oregon State fair was a credit
able showing Of the products of the
state. The county exhibits, though
not as numerous as they should have
been. showed great profusion Of pro-
ducts of the highest excellence. The
people OF the state don't half appreci-
ate the state and its marvellous re-
sources. 1t is doubtful if any other
county in any other state OF the Union
could show such great variety of pro-
ducts of such high quality as any one
OF the county exhibits at the Salem
fair.
The Agricultural college exhibit was
an educator. The exhibit from the
Eastern Oregon experiment station was
amost striking showing oil the agIicul-
tural resources of that section. The
livestock exhibit on the whole was
worthy of the state. The draft and
coach horses made splendid showing
A good showing was made by dairy cat
tie, but hardly enough Of dairy pro
ducts. OF beef animals the exhibit
was not as large as it should be. bu
some fine animals we're shown. I'M
swine exhibit was most creditable
| The sheep exhibit was good, but many
of the sheep we're not in show condi
ton. The poultry building was vel
patronized and the exhibit was fairl,

farm machinery was noticeable. 4

The official report Of the department
Of Agriculture on the condition Of the
apple crop on September fully confirms
earlier estimates Of poor apple crop
throughout the United States. The
average condition is reported as SAT-
per cent. Few il any of the states have
an average crop. The Pacific states

Oregon 70 per cent, Washington ss per

which is 2 per cent, and Missouri,
