CONVICT
HALL AGAIN
AT The Pen
WAS CAPTURED LAST NIGHT BY
POSSE WHICH INCLUDED GOV
ERNOR WEST-HE WILL NOT
BE BOOKED FOR FURTHER
FAV0RS.

Corvallis, June 23.-Lying quietly
asleep under a tree, where he had fal
len in utter exhaustion, jesse Hall,
the escaped convict from the Ore
gon penitentiary was captured last
night without the firing of n single
shot by a posse led by Governor
West, in a clump of woods just or
the road lear the little village of
Blodgett, a station on The Corvallis
& Eastern railroad, 20 miles from
Corvallis.
Hall did not even attempt any re
~sistance, but only smiled when the
governor awakened him by placing
his hand on his shoulder and shak-
ing him, and he looked into the n.lz-
zles Of the guns held on him by 9TH
er members of the posse.
Outlaw Is Wounded
Halls face was bleed:n. frCm
wounds he received early yesterday
morning, when Sheriff Gellatly fired
at him once as he was running along
a county road. He had hal no sleep
for 60 hours, and for much of that
time had been without food. He was
in a sorry state of exhaustion and
seemed almost to welcome his cap
ture by the posse.
The captured convict vas immedi-
ately manacled and placed in an au-
tomobile under heavy guard, in
which the party started to Corval-
lis. On the way Warden Curtis in
another automobile, met the COVER
nor's party, and Hall was turne |
over to him, and taken to Salem by
way of Kings valley,
Seven in Rpssr.
In the posse which captured him,
besides the governor, were Deputy
Sheriff McInnes; w. S. Lin2ill,
Southern Pacific agent at Corvallis,
and Grover Bague, George Armis-
tead. Earl Harris and H. l., Holgate,
of Corvallis. The posse had been
close on Halls trail all afternoon and
evening. The route taken by the
outlaw lead through dense under
brush, and it was not until 1880
O'Clock that the pursuers came across
him Unexpectedly, as he lay sleep
ing under a tree.
The convict was armed with a re
volver. and, although he fired many
times at members of the posse thai
first a him to earth last night a
Wren station, near Philomath, h
still had several rounds of ammuni'
ton left.
Huber Tells Story.
The mail carrier, Mr.. Huber, wht
carries the mail from Monmouth
through Kings valley, came in las
night and. told the exciting stor!
about his adventure with the convict
The convict jumped onto his mai
cart and made Huber carry him int
he mountains. He did this undo
threat to take Huber's life. When
ever they met any one he forced Hub
err to change hats and coats and tool
the lines himself, in that way con
cealing himself. When the poss'
| overlook them he threw Huber over
' board, took the lines in his Owl
= hands. and drove the horses wi'dl,
| along the mountain roads, and whel
= the posse would fire at him he woul'
f drop fiat in the bottom of the cart
{ all the time yelling and urging tn
; horse to its utmost speed. When h
could no longer keep ahead of tn
t posse he abandoned the mail cart an
l took to the brush. At this point Sher
t if Gellatly abandoned the chase
3 The convict got away into the noun
t taips to the point where he was finaI
e ly overtaken by Governor West.

Premium List. -
One OF the next big tasks to be
taken up is the preparation of the
annual premium list. This requires
first a determination of how much can
be spent In each department, and II is
not simple matter to satisfy the
various supervisors and superintend.

the opportunities for their exhibitors
After this comes the classification of
premiums and the arranging of the
general regulations and rules govern.
Ing exhibits. The 1911 list has been
greatly enlarged, and in some of the
departments the premium awards
have been increased 20 per cent for
the benefit OF exhibitors.
This work is done by the superin.
tendents OF the various departments
In conjunction with the mAnager, and
months Of work on the details are re,
quired before the copy is ready for
the printers.
Between four and five hundred
newspapers have to be interviewed

be given out impartially and in a
form to please the editors. Attract

BUILDING GOOD ROADS" AT THE STATE FAIR.

time OF the year when the crops
have been garnered and the mind and
body Is ready for rest and recreation.
A state fair would not be worthy
Of support II it did not keep the edu.
cational feature ever in mind. In the
case of the Michigan State Fair and
Exposition this has always been done
II there was nothing more done than
to make big display, to set OF one
herd against another and to see which
individual exhibitor could collect the
largest number of ribbons. to match
Implements or vehicles, to test the
speed of well-bred horses--if this was
the aim and the end, then It might
well be questioned whether It is all
worth while. But in truth there are
thousands OF Michigan people, not
from the farms alone, but from shops
and storerooms. who attend the great
Michigan fair with eyes and ears wide
open. and they find the experience
vastly profitable to them. 1t is. in
deed. their summer school. They
make good use Of the, opportunity "
affords, and they regard Il more high
ly the cftner they attend.
The result Is better homes, better
farming, more industry. greater pros
perity, increased happiness, larger
herds, finer machinery. more money in
tho banks. All this leads to better
home-making
Great Livestock Show.
First and above all else. the Mich.
gan state Fair il great agricultural
and horticultural and livestock show.
That IL the real foundation for the
fair. It is In the great herds which
cover Michigan that we are beginning
to find the greatest profit, indeed
without them there would no longer
be much profit in Michigan agricul-
ture. Tile Michigan farmers are
striving for Improvement In livestock.
They have opportunity at the State
Fair to see the very best of all the
breeds. They come and compare
notes. They make study Of horses,
cattle, sheep, swine and poultry. They
learn of the new things. They ask
about actual results. The premium Of
fers for livestock bring the best OF
everything to Michigan. A million
dollars worth of livestock forms the
basis for a real educational exhibit.
Next in importance to the livestock
is unquestionably the machinery and
implement exhibit. In this Michigan
has one OF the greatest fairs in the
world. The vehicle exhibit at Mich
igan is always good. This year the
automobile makers will all be on hand
with a larger exhibit than ever in new
Motor Hall, 1872 models being largely
shown, both in passenger cars and
trucks. giving opportunity for sys-

The makers of all kinds of machin-
cry find Michigan a splendid place to
show their goods. Michigan people
are good customers Hence the ex-
hibit of machinery for the farms and
for the shors is complete. Many
acres of ground are covered by this
exhibit, and 1t includes every kind Of
