cannot be made for more space in the
main pavilion for next year and my
present plans for next year materialize,
we may have to have separate build

this morning. s mail she received notice
to make reservation for space for
magnificent tapestry, AZ by 80 feet,
besides a number of applications for
space for the display of individual pic
lures and grouns of paintings until she
has begun to wonder what she is going
to do to provide space for all and sac
does not want to turn single offering
away.
Mrs. Webster and Mrs. Getchell are
devoting their time and energies, pend,
ing the opening of the big exposition,
to the studying out of light effects
and distribution. so as to display the
pictures to the very best of advantage.
During the coming winter, Mrs. Webster
proposes to conduct statewide cam

Oregon fair this year and will doubt

hog breeders of the northwest.

competition for the premiums offered
in the sheep class at the state fair, a
large and representative display of
some of the finest sheep in the coast
country being already in evidence, with
many more pens on the way and there
are a number of sheep ON exhibition
from eastern and southern states, one
large shipment having come from Ken

breeds for highest honors.

Already the limited space allotted to
the art department in the new pa
vilion at the Oregon state fair, which
opens its gates to the public on Mon
day, September 27, for q full week Is
run, is at premium and vita the ap-
plications for space still coming in
Mrs. Alice Webster, superintendent of
the department is fearful that the de-

some portion of the art exhibit will ov-

another section of the building.

our conditions for this year, however, "
said Mrs. Webster, in speaking of the
matter today, "and be content in lay

the kinks in negotiations for $780,,
100000 loan to the allies appeared to
have been smoothed out today, there
were prospects that the conferees
would finally settle on figure con-
aiderably pared.
AS the situation now stands. they
are basing their negotiations on a max.
imum mark OF half billion dollars
with strong prospect Of going below
that amount
Interest charges still perplexed. The
general viewpoint Of the American
bankers, however, favored n five per
cent interest charge on bonds sold be-
low par 80 that takers could net high
er rate than five.
The bonds probably will not be widely
circulated, but instead will be held in
bank vaults for the most part.
Men In touch with the conference said
that the prospects favored satisfuc-
tory adjustment Of points at issue.
The negotiations progressed so far
today, that it was reported the commits
gioners had submitted TO their respec-
tive governments the bankers terms,
and were preparing to depart for home
next Saturday.
