ABANDoNs HIS PARTY.
Ex-Mayor Van 0rsdel Refuses to
Again Vote Democratic Ticket.

Calling Mr.. Num-, who was passing
his place of business, into his
office the other day, ex-Mayor John
G. Van Orsdel, in the presence of
that dyed-in-the-wood democrat, took
a solemn oath that never again would
be he guilty of casting his ballot for
a democratic president of the United
States. Mr.. Van 0rsdel was an ar
dent supporter of President Wilson,
and also voted for Bryan on divers
and sundry occasions, but he has seen
democratic mismanagement aplenty
during the present administration Of
governmental affairs and purposes at
the next election, no matter who the
republican nominee may be, to aid by
his vote in returning to power the
party with an unimpeaehable record
Another Polk county democrat who
would desert his party were Taft
is Mr.. Cass Riggs, who Is
a great admirer of the ex-president,
but if this is the only condition there
IS slight hope Of winning him into the
republican fold, for it Is considered
inadvisable. for party success, to urge
Mr.. Taft to again become a candi-
date.

Doctors from Three Counties Con-
vene Here Today.

The Tri-County Medical society is
to meet in Dallas today, the event
being its regular monthly meeting,
and the doctors from Polk, Marion
and Yamhill counties are to enjoy a
program of professional papers, tech
nical discussions and speeches. This
evening the meeting will conclude
with a fine banquet, at the Gail ho-
tel, for which tempting menu has
been prepared. At the meeting are
gathered the foremost medical men
from the three counties represented
in the association, and a number of
these have prepared papers on inter-
esting cases that have been under
their observation since the time Of
the last meeting. Last month no ses
sion was held because of the conven-
ton of the Oregon State Medical as
at Portland. Dr. 0. D. But
ler of Independence, president Of the
society, is presiding at the meeting
and DR.. M. j. Clements of Salem
occupies the secretary's chair.

FAIR RECEIPTS ARE LARGE.
Income at Salem is Expected to Ex-
ceed Other Years.

With the exception of the fair two
years ago, the Oregon State fair this
year led all in the amount of money
taken in at the gate, the total being
$21, ,232 for the six days. This sum
does not include money received from
the sale of campers tickets, conces-
sioners, exhibitors, helpers tickets,
automobile tags, team tags, or tickets
sold prior to the opening date. When
the money from these sources is f.
nally included it is believed that the
fairs receipts will equal if not ex-
ceed those of two years ago. Grand
stand receipts this year we're $2S14.-
75. In 1913 the gate receipts totaled
two days of the fair this year un-
doubtedly prevented the attendance
from surprising that of past fairs, ac-
cording to ". Al Jones, secretary Of
the fair board.

PROJECT IS GOOD One
MARKET DAY PLAN FAVORED
BY ALBANY BOOSTER.
Committee Working Out Necessary
Details, While Mr.. Davis Will
Hold First Big Sale.

The committee that has charge Of
1.-THE plans for the first public market
day will meet tomorrow evening and
prepare report on its plans and am
bitions to be read at the Commercial
club meeting later the same evening.
F. E. Davis, chairman of the commit
tee, has had correspondence with A..
/ l.. Fisher of Albany, who is the prime
mover Of the market day enterprise
in that city, and has received word
that Mr.. Fisher will be glad to render
any possible assistance to the local
committee. Later on the members
will meet with Mr.. Fisher to discuss
ways and means. In letter to Mr..
Davis the Albany promoter says:
cit occurs to me that you are on
the right track and with the hearty
cooperation of your merchants and
farmers will be able ito make a sue
cess of your market days. We start
ed our sale days the last Saturday
of last February and have held them
every last Saturday in the month
since. Our merchants furnish the
free hitching racks, stalls, ETC., as
well as the auctioneer. We make no
charges for the services except in
cases where farmers wish to dispose
Of their entire holdings, and in that
case we charge two per cent. "Our
merchants usually advertise special
bargains on sale day, all of which is
greatly appreciated by the farmers.
Our actual sales run from $500 to
$4,000 and usually there is consider
able property that changes hands that
is not sold from the block. You will
find after it is once understood that
you have set date for your public
sales that farmers will arrange ahead
and bring in their stuff"
With so many details to arrange
before successful community market
day can be held it is improbable that
the first sale day will be under the
auspices of the Commercial clubs
committee of business men. Mr.. Da-
Wis who perfected plans for a sale
day last month will carry his origi-
nal ideas out in a market day on the
last Saturday of this month 1t will
be his own enterprise and will be a
successful one, for Mr.. Davis is an
active and enthusiastic worker. Last
month the market day was not held
because of the great amount of at
tention demanded by the baby show.
But this month, without any side is
sues, the sale day should be a great
success. Mr.. Davis has already Sc
cured entries from a number of farm
ers, and they will come in large num-
bers before October 80, the date Of
his sale day.

new TRAINS ORDERED
REVISION OF SCHEDULE ORDER
ED BY STATE COMMISSION.
Residents of Airlie District Can Visit
County Seat and Return Home
.. Same Day.

Approved two weeks ago by the
Dallas Commercial club, the tentative
schedule prepared by the state public
service commission for the trains run
ming between Dallas, Monmouth and
Airlie, was given to the railroad COM
pany on Saturday with orders that
schedules over these lines be revised
within twenty days.
The complaint against the road was
made by E. E. Hiltbrand, who ap-
peared before the commission in per-
son. 1t was shown that the present
service does not permit patrons who
reside between Airlie and Monmouth
to visit Monmouth or Dallas and
transact business requiring any ordin-
ary amount of time and return to
their homes on the same day. Since
Dallas is the county seat it is held
that the lack of afternoon trains is
a hardship on the community tribu-
tary to Airlie. The commission finds
that the situation can be relieved with
a minimum of inconvenience to the
Southern Pacific by a re-arrangement
of the schedules as follows: That
the company discontinue the opera
ton of trains 351 and 352 between
Airlie and Dallas, and in place of
these trains operate a gasoline motor
ear leaving Dallas at approximately B
} clock p. m-, to arrive at Airlie at
approximately 3 80 p. M, and return
ing to Dallas to arrive at about 4:50
p. m. Both the gasoline motor car
and the morning accommodation
trains, Nos. 211 and 212, should carry
express matter, the order states.
Since the service thus prescribed by
he commission involves the running
If the motor car backward from Air
lie to Monmouth extreme care will be
'equired in the operation. Preferably,
,ays the commission order, the rail
'oad company should arrange for a
wye at Airlie or Simpson and thus
void the necessity of operating the
motor car backward.

Men come and go, but the industry
survives source of large income to
the Pacific northwest and a broad
field of opportunity for thousands of
wage-earners. Probably no other pro-
duct has gone through greater vicis-
STUDIES. The industry could not have
survived at all in a region less favor
ed than the Pacific northwest in rich
ness of soil and excellence Of climate.
At one time or another every sub
stantial industry in Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho and Montana has suffered
from overproduction and low prices.
Hops, salmon, prunes, wool, lumber,
shingles, hay, wheat, silver, lead, cop
per-and even live stock and poultry
all have a similar story. But faith,
hope and courage may ever be drawn
from this firm fact-that ultimately
and always the land that is capable
of overproduction is the land to tie
to. There large wealth and prosper
ity await its people. The hopeless
lands are those of meager natural re-
sources, of thin, poor soil, of adverse
climate, of scant water supply

two preseason hunters. Five of the
charges are held for the grand jury
and the remaining seven are serving
time for various misdemeanors. After
the session of the grand jury this af-
ternoon the Jail will again be depopu-
lated for a short time. But little
things like a lack of patronage do
not worry the sheriff. To the con-
trary, too much patronage has almost
turned his auburn hair to grey. As
soon as there is room to accommodate
the waiting list that he has prepared
the sheriff will arrest number of
miscreants who have escaped atten-
tion because of the crowded condi-
ton of the bastile.

ESCAPE FROM PRISON
TWO CHARGED WITH THEFT
MAKE DELIVERY SUNDAY.
Gaining Admittance to Lower Floor
of Jail, McGinnis and Carson Slip
Away From Sheriff Orr.

of the Jail two prisoners made good
their escape from the county bastile
on Sunday evening, and SO carefully
was an agreement with other prison
ers worked that their absence was un-
noticed until. early yesterday morn
ing, when the sheriff took breakfast
to the ten men supposed to be locked
up there. Those who escaped are
William McGinnis and L. w. Carson.
The former was incarcerated for
stealing hop sacks from a building
near West Salem, and the latter was
taken into custody at Independence
for stealing a 'tent-fy.
Sunday night about ten o'clock
Sheriff Orr went into the Jail to see
that things we're right for the night
He did not see McGinnis and Carson,
who were supposed to be in cells, but
Harry Hunnicutt, another prisoner,
said they were asleep. Unsuspecting
ly, the sheriff threw the bolts on the
cells, believing the two men to be on
the beds therein, and went on about
other business, after locking and
boiling all other doors. Yesterday
morning the sheriff visited the Jail to
get Hunnicutt, McGinnis, Carson and
other prisoners whose cases were to
be heard by Circuit Judge Belt. Nc
Ginnis and Carson were gone, and up
on questioning the other prisoners the
Sheriff determined that they had made
their escape the previous evening.
The only possible theory of the Jail
break is this: Sometime on Sunday
the prisoners released heavy board
that held a wooden door, opening
From the stairs to the second floor
into the lower section of the Jail,
which is usually used for city prison
ers. Gaining the freedom of the first
floor the men replaced the board
against the door, and secreted them
selves between the wall Of the build
ing and the wall Of cell. When
Sheriff Orr visited the Jail that even
ing he left the heavy iron front door
open and went upstairs, where all
prisoners were supposed to be.
