co busting, roping steers and some of
the features of the Pendleton
Roundup" without going into it ex-
tensively. The people want to see
such sport, and we can we'll arrange
such contests, at very small cost to
the fair, and bring joy to the hearts
of many who like to see the thrilling
feats of the men who have lived on
the ranges. With the passing of the
big ranges we will not have opportu-
nifty to see this sort of work many
years longer, and I should like to
keep it as long as we can at the state
fair.
with grand stand of proper size
we could care for more persons than
we do. 1t has been taxed to capacity
and then thousands turned away
destroying a means of revenue, and
depriving persons who have come a
great distance of taking advantage of
the entertainment they expected to
see. With a new stand and a differ
ent arrangement of the boxes and the
erection of proper band stand in
side the grand stand, we shall have
made a big step toward the satisfac-
tion of the people who support the
fair,
"These needs which I have cited
are not eXtravagances. They are as
necessary as anything could be. Fair
appropriations for few years will
build up a property which would be
extremely valuable, and produce am
pie revenue to operate, once the per-
manency of it was established. With
permanent buildings we can proceed
with the proper landscaping and
plant shrubs and make the grounds
a show place of the United States
for a little money.
"That the stock and benefits of
the fair justify such expenditures
may be gathered from the action OF
the Hartman lines, in which they
sent expensive men and made elabor-
ate motion pictures to take to the
land shows to be held at st. Paul,
Pittsburg and New York City. We
have the cattle and agricultural pro-
ducts. and they took the pictures
to show the people back East Just
what we have 1t will be Of tremend-
Gus value as an advertising medium,
and. unless we had the products
worth while, these sagacious rail-
road men would not single ours out
to show the best in the state.
For these reasons we are going
to aid the special call of the legisla--
ture for the good roads project, and
try and have our appropriations in
cluded in the special business for the
attention of the special session, as We
want the support of the state, and
think we shall have it"

The finding confirms the report Of
the original Investigators who made a
superficial examination of the wreck
shortly after the disaster.
The statement given out by the
naval board follows
"The injuries to the battleship
Maine were caused by the explosion
of a charge of a low form Of ex-
plosive exterior to the ship on the port
side. This resulted In igniting and ex-
ploding the contents Of the six inch
reserve magazine, said, contents includ-
ing large quantity Of black powder.
The more or less complete explosion of
the contents of the remaining mag
azine followed. The magazine explos-
ions resulted in the destruction Of the
vessel
Senator Meyer announced that there
might beea further statement on the re-
port of the board after it had been con-
sedered by the president.
The declaration that low form Of
explosive" was used in the outside ex-
plosion, indicates belief that a mine
and not a dirigible torpedo was the in
strument of destruction.

Attorney General Cosson appeared
personally to represent the state.
The defense is making strenuous
fight on the motion. as everything de-
pends upon it's result. If the court holds
that the indictments were the result of
unlawful influence and they are
quashed, it means the absolute release
of the accused. for no more indictments
can be secured, the offenses charged
against him having outlawed.
