A SIjohtIy Worried Look.

Local icemen are commencing TO
wear ii slightly worried look as q re-
suit of the warm weather and the
breaking up of the ice in the river The
high pitch at which the river is now
is not conducive to new freeze and
the crop will certainly be late and does
not promise at this time to be a very
good one, al the high sun Of February
is very liable to seriously interfere
with the work and the quality of ice
taken then is much below that secur-
ed in an carly freeze.

Polk County Fair
Best Exhibition Given

Dallas, Sept. 27.-The fourth annual
Polk county fair came to a close Fri
day evening. The exhibition this year
was the best of any ever held in the
county and such an abundance Of fruits
aud vegetables and other products of
the county were brought in by exhib-
itors that the pavilion was packed to
its utmost capacity. The exhibits by
the school children were especially in
teresting this year which goes to show
that Polk county ranks among the first
in good schools. The livestock exhib-
it, though small, was larger than last
year and it is to be noped that next
year larger exhibit of the bloOded
stock raised in the county will be on
exhibition. The county exhibit which
was prepared by Mrs. Winnie Braden,
secretary of the fair association, and
j. II. French was the best ever collect
ed in the county and will occupy a
prominent place in the county booth
at the state fair in Salem this week.
After the close of the state fair it will
be taken to Portland and exhibited
at the Land Products show, the county
court at recent meeting having al
lowed 5000 for maintaining the ex
hibit at the Portland show. Though
the absence Of carnival attractions was
felt by some of the visitors, the sing
ing Of Mrs Halle Parish Hinges, the
Oregon nightingale, of Salem, was far
more entertaining than all the shows in
the state.

FAIRGROUNDS POLICE
ANSWER ALL QUERIES
Chief Burnett Has Strong
Force Collected From All
Over the State

The police force at the fair this year
is made up of the "pick of the state"
according to w. AL Jones, who selected
them and NJ. p. Burnett of Corvallis,
who is the chief of the exposition po-
lice" The men are uniformed in blue
with brass buttons for trimmings and
neat blue caps with gold band. W..
H. Goulet, who is county commissioner
of this county when he is not policing
the fair grounds track, is the mounted
officer with Charles Yanke as chief
aide. Officers Goulet and Yanke patrol
the fair graunds track and chase the
youngsters off Of the track and the race
horses on to it as well as gallop on er-
rands for the race course officials.
Part of the duty or Mr.. Goulet is to
explain the curious sights of the fair to
the people who are not familiar with
everything they see. For instance he
must explain that the aeroplane will
go up at O'Clock, and the reason that
it does not start promptly at is be-
cause of engine trouble. Also that
Munter will not loop the loop as the
machine is not of the looping kind, that
the silver plate on the neck of Honest
Boy, H. S. Hogoboom s horse, is for the
horse to breath through, the horse had
throat trouble and it was necessary to
put an "intake valve" in his neck so
he could supply his lungs with oxygen,
that it does not hurt the horse to breath
that way and in fact it would hurt him
if he did not get his breath that way
and-well, there are other numerous
questions to be answered by the fair
grounds police but they are strictly ON
the job.
In addition to the above mentioned
the following are palrolmen:
Barnett, NJ. L., of Corvallis; Cum
Minis, Hugh, of Corvallis; Gardner, Irv-
