BIG FAIR At GALLATIN
ECLIPSES ALL FORMER

The seventh annual exhibition of
the Sumner County Fair Association
began here Friday, September 9Th,
The attendance was good. AS this
day was children's day, led by their
teachers they were much in evidence
and had big time.
On Saturday people came from
every direction until an immense
crowd had gathered and participated
in the various amusements. A large
number of prominent people from
neighboring counties were present

The COOPERATIVE Supply company
of Portland, is reported in the hands
Of a trustee. This is the concern
which endeavored to dispose of a
large block of its stock to Polk
county people last season, a repre-
sentative having spent some days in
this vicinity on that mission. But
bites were few and he departed for
more remunerative fields. Polk
county investors generally fight shy
of cooperative propositions and
''keepfresh" plants.

ter to vote for the weak man in the
prohibition party than for the good
man in the whiskey party" The af-
irmative side contended that the good
man in the party was one who upheld
the principles of his party and that
the weak prohibitionist would make
a better officer than the good man in
the other parties. The negative side
defined a weak man as one who would

Prohibition Club News.

The Dallas "out to VIM prohibi-
tion club met Tuesday evening in the
lecture room of the Evangelical
church and decided to challenge the
Falls City club to a contest for the
enrolment of voters for the cause of
prohibition. The program for the ev-
ening consisted of a debate, the sub
jeet being: "Resolved that it is bet

be inefficient or incompetent in office,
and good man as one who does
right and that therefore it would be
better to put the good man in Office,
irrespective of party, than the weak
prohibitionist. One of the main
things brought out by both sides was
that the prohibitionists must be very
careful to nominate only good, com
petent men for Office, men who are

This disgusting matrimonial mix
up between the Honorable Battling
Nelson and his wife, who once was
Fay King of Portland, grows weari-
some. The couple were married
with great acclaim a few short weeks
since, then Fay decided that she
wanted no more Of the Honorable
Battler SO she fed to Denver and
opened divorce negotiations. The
prizefghting gentleman hiked over
to Denver himself and said "nay,
nay" TO bis wife's diversion, and
now the couple have agreed to live
together for a month and, if every
thing is rosy at the end of that time
they may arrange matters perma-
nelly. If the Battler isn't careful
of his reputation, he'll get into the
Natgoodwin class.

The lawyers are very badly in need
of a stenographer over in Coquille.
Since their former "stenog" moved
away the barristers have to
pound their own machines and
the work is strenuous and slow.
II is stated that a competent typist
and shorthand lady could find plenty
to do there, but one of the induce
ments offered is questionable, it
seems. 1t is declared that the law
yers are all married and middle
aged" Possibly, if the opposite
were true, there might be more appli-
cations for the job. Even stenog-
rapher ought to have some aim in
life other than "taking dictationn
and caressing the keys of a type
writer.

fessiOns, refused to warmly cooper
ate in Friedman's humanitarian mis-
sion and in place Of a welcome he
was met with impediments and re-
strictions which discouraged and well
nigh induced him to return again to
Germany and work out his methods
there in more friendly atmosphere.
In contemplation of this incident one
is almost forced to the conclusion
that sometimes professional jealousy
Is paramount to the well-being of|
humanity.
The medical generals gain nothing
by this display Of narrowness. We
cannot afford to scoff at anything
nowadays. There are too many won
derful things being performed in this
age to admit Of charges Of flake
when new discoveries are announced.
Such things belong to the past. Our
advanced civilization should teach us
that almost anything is possible in
science and the rapid strides in all
lines Of human endeavor that has been
the heritage of the Twentieth century,
must impress us with the belief that
even the discovery Of cure for tu-
berculosis is possible.

The Observer is pleased to learn
that, in all probability, matters will
be satisfactorily arranged and the
new Polk County Fair association
will be offered a desirable site for
their exhibitions. The Commercial
club is entitled to commentator for
its work in securing this tract and
in financing its purchase. 1t is in
every way suitable for the fair and
we believe will be eventually con-
verted into pleasant and easily ac-
cessible pleasure ground. While we
at first favored the use Of the city
park, it was because we were led to
believe that it could be secured and
fitted up at less expense than any
other proposed location, and for the
further reason that such improve
ment would convert the park into
bower Of beauty which would be
show place and pleasant spot dur
ing the days Of summer. Probably,
in its present limits, it was too small
for the uses Of the fair, and certainly,
if it is the intention to include a ball
ground and athletic field, it could
not have been arranged at the park.
But the new site is large enough to
furnish all these things and, since
the enterprising people of this cityl
have made its acquisition possible,
we are glad Of it. AS The Observer
stated at the outset-it was not the
policy Of this newspaper to resist the
selection of any other location aside
from the city park-what we most
desired was a site for the fair, any
where it could be secured and in any
location that would be suitable for
Ill uses required Of it. This we be-
ieve has been accomplished in the
selection of the Rowell tract and the
hing to do now is to get in and pull
ogether for the success of the sec
md annual exhibition.

Public Roads Of Country

There are now 2,l99.645 miles of pub
lie roads in the United States. The fig.
ures include all the new roads built up to
the year 1909. In 1904 there were exact.
ly 2,l5l,379. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that the increased mileage of new roads
within a period of about five years has
been IS, ,366.
The movement for the improvement of
public highways has obtained a firm grip
on the country. The percentage of roads
which are really improved amounted to
ia in 1904, while in 1909, to which wear
statistics are now available, the percent.
age was $50.
lit is interesting to observe the
growth of improved methods in road con-
struction. For instance, the total mile
age of stone roads in 1904 was 36.sls,
while in 1909 it was 59,237. The total
mileage of gravel roads in 1904 was I09.
905, while in 1909 it was only 102 $40.
This decrease in gravel roads, however,
was due to re-classification of roads.
Many of those reported proved to be of
some other substance, while exaggeratiors
were eliminated.

roads in 1904 was 6,sO6, while in 1909
