The Germans have had their day,
and it was a record-breaker in every
sense Salem is having her day to-
day and it is also a record breaker
and tomorrow is Portland day at the
| Oregon state fair. There will be
thousands of people from Portland,
and all over the state, on the grounds
tomorrow both the Southern Pacific
and Oregon Electric railways will run
special excursion trains into Ne fair
grounds from o'clock until noon.
and return specials out of the city,
both ways, until late at night. Veri-
ly, the prognosticatiOn that this
would be a record-brealling state eX-
position, is coming true in every
sense. The credit for this great
achievement is due to the members
of the State Board of Agriculture,
individually and collectively; Secre-
tary Frank Meredith, who has la
bored increasingly and uncomplain-
ingly day and night to make it
success, and ably assisted by his most
competent corps of clerks in all de-
partments. the division superintend-
ents, to whom are due the credit for
the magnificent displays in their sew
eral departments; to the judges and
clerks of the racing course, and to all
exhibitors who have contributed
their mites, either great or small
toward the building of this state in
stitution, which has risen, within a
few short years, from the ranks of
q comparatively insignificant "coun-
ty fair" to it's present huge proper
tions, which would rank well with
any national or semi-nation expo
sition upon a condensed scale.
The heads of the several depart
ments, to whom a great share of the
credit for the unqualified success of
the fair is due for their patriotic and
conscientious endeavors, along the
line of their respective duties, are
Mrs. G. G.. Brown, of the art depart
ment; Mrs. A. L. Brown, of the tex
tile department.; o. e. Freytag, su-
perintendent of the pavilion; Paul
" Maris, superintendent of the dairy
exhibit; Ed. Schul, superintendent
of the poultry department. Mrs
Henry Haas superintendent of the
floral department, and c. F. Homyer,
superintendent of buildings and
grounds, and Albert Tozier, superin-
tendent of the camping grounds.
Among the old-timers and stand
bys, who have contributed their val
liable services to the success of Ore
CONS state fairs, and have seen them
grow from infantile to it's present
gigantic proportions, and have
grown and developed with it, are
Miss Margaret Cosper, chief Of the
division of clerks; Albert Tozier,
mayor of the tented city, and Miss
Bertha c. Byrd, clerk of the live
stock division. Miss Laughed, who
has served faithfully and we'll as
clerk of the poultry division for the
past few years, travelled all the way
from Chicago to Salem to take her
post at the fair this year and con-
tribute her mite to its success and
her pleasant smile and ever-obliging
manner is not among the least of the
attractions in the main office at the
big exposition. Miss l. M. HILL chief
stenographer and clerk 10 Secretary
Meredith, is another obliging and
competent addition to the force Of
employees.
