result in an annual saving OF at least

amount saved annually in hauling

advantages which affect the entire

SATURDAY SPORT
WAS MOTOR RACING
Last Day at Track Given Over to
Burning Gasoline to Exceed
City Speed Limits

The racing of the State fair closed
Saturday with a card devoted to au-
tomobile and motor cycle racing. The
motor cycling proved the main at
traction and several spirited contests
resulted by handicapping the contes-
tants. There We're but two auto racers
on the ground but the entry of ]. T.
Harrah's touring car came very near
ly upsetting the talent by winning a
mile handicap, where the Cole
racer driven by Anderson allowed the
other entries 80 seconds. The Cole
racer won by a narrow margin, but
the driver realized he had been in
hot contest.
The ten-mile race for seven-horse
power motor cycles proved the best
contest of the day and the sensational
riding of Thurston, on an Indian
cycle, landed him the winner in lips
for the distance. The crowd looked
forward with some interest to a race
between Thurston and Lesh in the
final handicap, but a broken chain
on the Thurston machine put him out
Of the running just as the start was
made. Following is the detail of the
results:
First race-Amateur motor cycle;

woman,s Building Notes

The woman's building, the first
floor of which is given over almost
entirely to needle work, and the Sec
ond occupied with displays of hane
painted china, leather and metal
work, amateur photography, Indian
packets, antiques, flowers, paintings
and kitchen products, was crowded
all day yesterday with fair visitors
who were loud in their praises of the
quality and quantity of the articles on
display in the several divisions.
AS many mon as women were seen
there, the culinary department easily
being the most popular with the stern
sex, though the flowers and the paint
ings were close seconds and many
indeed were intensely interested in
the products of the needle, of which
so many are truly works of art.

coma, Judge of the needlework, COM

as it was and will not be removed till
today.
Extent OF the Children's Department
Reports from the several superin-
tendents show that the response by
portion of the increased exhibit. In
the Womans building in the art,
needlework and culinary departments
1t is shown that there were 100 ex-
hibitors competing in the children's
industrial department and that they
entered total of 346 separate ex-
hibits. In the educational department
the proportion was equally great, and
in the horticultural depc. the
work was shown separately and made
up one of the most interesting ex-
hibits in the building. The entries in
the other departments were com
mendable and the contests in stock
Judging and fruit judging were i'm
portant features.
Awards in Mich Cow Test
The superintendent in the dairy de-
partment had totals and results ready
to announce for the 4S-hour milk
COW test this morning and the trophy
cup went to j. p. and e. b. of the
Ahtanum. The winning animals were
taken to the show ring in the after
noon and the cup offered by the o.
w. r. & N. company was formally
presented to the winners by DR.,
Kloeber of the fair commission.
The milch COW that won the first
prize was a Holstein from the Marks
herds, Edna Marie Jewel. The scor-
ing for 4S hours gave the COW a
total of 1915 pounds Of milk; average
test 2.46; total butter fat, 3.s1e
pounds; value of milk $0.322; value
of fat, $1,2o5; total for product,
$1527.
Oakhurst Stoffet America from the
same herd won the second prize and
the third prize went to the COW en-
tered from the Todd herd also a Yaki-
ma valley product.
The silver cups offered by the fair
commission for the stock judging con-
test were also presented today. e.
w. Hahn, Of Jefferson, Oregon, was
given the cup for the breeders con-
test, and w. J. Domes, of Mccoy.
the cup for the winner of the young
mems contest.
Dynamite and Agriculture
An exhibit of the horticultural
building that attracted wide attention
was the result of cultivation of or
chard land by dynamite as illustrated
by an exhibit made by Paul Kruger
showing how apples in a certain or
chard have been improved because
the hard pan was broken up by dyna-
mite explosions, and the fruit permit
ted to develop. 1t is shown that apple
rosette can be eradicated by this
means. Mr.. Kruger did some good
work at the fair last week in dem.
onstrating what he had done with the
orchard land upon which he expert
mented.

NEW ATTRACTIONS
MADE BIG HIT
Children's Work Commended and
1t Is Shown That They Entered
346 Separate Exhibits in One
Department

The state fair closed Saturday, the
most successful meeting in its his
tory. In range and variety of the ex-
hibits and excellence of the display
this fair is pronounced ahead of any
ever given by the institution. The
management took a new departure
and added several new features, the
most important of these was the chill
drens industrial department which
proved great success and is no doubt
now fixed as a permanent departm
of the fair.
Work of Dismantling Begun
In the late afternoon Saturday the
work of dismantling the exhibit be-
gan in the several departments and by
