$1,000 in Premiums.

There will be $1,000 awarded in
premiums-s1,OOO in prizes to the
animals which the judges pronounce
the finest on exhibition. The COM
mittee on finance has been canvass
ing the city to secure this necessary
amount and also the amount neces-
sary to carry on the show and it has
succeeded. This liberal award Of
premiums has attracted owners Of
horses in every portion of the valley
and they will bring their horses here
to contest for them.
Professor Withycombe and Profess
sor Potter, of the Oregon Agricul-
tural College, will act as judges dur
ing the show. Both men have a
thorough knowledge of horses-know
just what qualities are needed to
make up the perfect horse, and upon
these their awards will be made.
The association feels that it is par
ticularly fortunate in securing the
services of these two men as it is a
guarantee that all awards will be
made fairly and on merit; and that
means satisfaction to everybody con-
cerned.

been accomplished by the use of Rex
all "93" Hair Tonic, and we have the

PASSING
or GEORGE
LANSING
VETERAN OF THE CIVIL WAR,
AND A SPLENDID CITIZEN, HE
DIED THIS MORNING AFTER AN
ILLNESS OF SEVERAL MONTHS.

George Lansing died this morning
at Salem Hispital, after an illness of
about six months. He has been at the
hospital for three weeks, where he
had the best of care. He was nearly
So years old, his birthday coming on
April 9th. Mr.. Lansing came to Ore
gon in 1901, from Atlantic, Iowa, and
bought a home of about 80 acres near
Chemawa, where he worked at the
Indian school as builder. He leaves
a brother, VIM. Lansing, and widow
and five children, one living in Iowa.
He was veteran of the Grand Army,
and member of the A. o. U. w. in
which he has $4,000 insurance. The
funeral will be held from his late
residence near Chemawa, on Sunday,
at 2 p. m. Burial at Hayesville cem-
etery. Mr.. Lansing was a hard
working man, devoted to his family
and friends. He was in all respects
a model citizen in the common walks
of life, never wronged human being
in thought or deed and has gone
from this world beloved of all who
knew him.

The Program.

The program will start off Friday
morning with parade of all the
horses on exhibition. There will en-
ter into the composition of that par
ade every class of fancy and blooded
horses and 1t will be feature worth
seeing-it will be worth knowing just
what high classes Of horses are pro-
duced in the famous Willamette VAL
ley. Led by band the parade after
passing over the principal streets of
the city will lead to the exhibition
grounds. There during the forenoon
the horses will be on exhibition for
the large crowd, and in the after
noon the judges will pass judgment
upon them and award the prizes.
The second day will also start off
with parade and the exhibition
grounds will be it's destination. The
judges will not be able to make all
the awards in the afternoon of the
first day and will complete their la
bors on the second.
Horse Sale a Winner.
During both days from early morn
ing until late at night there will be
horse sale in progress. This fea-
ture proved to be a winner at the
last show. The purpose of the sale
is to give the owners of horses who
desire to sell them an opportunity to
do so. Every man interested in
horses-high grade horses, will be
present at the show and many of
them will desire to purchase horses
The sale is intended to bring the own
er of horses who desires to dispose
of them and the purchaser together.
Last year many sales we're made and
as the exhibition of horses will be
far larger this year the sales will be
far greater.

SALEM'S GREAT HORSE SHOW
NOW ONLY ONE week AWAY
WILL Be GREATEST EVER

With the Horse Show but one week
away-Friday and Saturday, April
z and S-preparations are being
made on every hand for the big {wo
days event and everywhere the pre-
diction runs that It will be the big
gest and finest exhibition of fancy
and blooded horses ever held in
Western Oregon.
The show will be held under the
management of the Salem Horse
Show Association. This association
came into being last spring, and held
show in the month of April. The
show pleased every horseman who
Participated in it and every man
aud woman who attended it, and
the fact that the association is back
Of the show again this spring is a
guarantee that it will give the same
widespread and general satisfaction.
Seats for 5000.
The show will be held this year on
the same grounds as last year-on
Church street between State and
Court. The council at its last meet
ing granted the association the priv
ilege of using that street and next
week will commence the work of rop-
ing 1t off and the erection of seats.
The seats used last spring are in a
good state of preservation and will
be used again. AS there will be a
far larger attendance this year, how
ever, more will be needed and with
the view of accommodating the NAM
moth crowd the association will have
sufficient seats at the roped arena to
seat 5000 people.
Within this roped arena the horses
will be placed on exhibition and here
the awards will be made by the
judges.

amusements galore, amusements
which will bring laughter to the lips
