Linn County Fair
Is Splendid Success

Albany, Ore, Sept. s.-The second
day of the 10th annual Linn county fair
at Scio today found the little town in
the height of its glory as it entertain
ed the largest delegation of visitors
that has invaded the little city since
last years fair.
The different exhibits were the oh
iects of numberless compliments and
were pronounced by many the best in
the history of the fair. The industrial
school exhibit, made by the manual
training and domestic science depart
ments of the different schools of the
county, was declared the best ever dis
played in the valley. The textile and
fine arts departments were ranked very
high.
While there was large display of
agricultural and horticultural products,
the display was not the equal of last
year owing to the fact that the late
season has forced the farmers to take
advantage of the good weather this
week to care for their crops.
Today was Albany day, and 80 auto
mobile loads of Albanyites, the major
ity of them wearing white cowboy hats
Albany, passed the day at the fair.
Tomorrow will be Lebanon day, and
a large delegation from the strawberry
city is expected to join the crowd of
the fair.
When the fair opened all exhibits
were ready and all events of the pro-
gram were successfully presented,
even to the exhibition aeroplane flights
by Herbert Munter. This last feat is
singled out particularly owing to the
fact that hunters performance is the
first successful aeroplane exhibition
staged at the Scio grounds, although
attempts had been made by aviators in
past years.
Governor Withycombe, who attended
the fair yesterday, was much impressed
by the exhibits of Linn county school
children. Many fine displays of farm
products were highly praised, while the
exhibits in the manual training de-
partment proved to be of great inter
est to yesterdays visitors. At first
view, the tables, chairs and other arti'
cles of furniture exhibited by Albany
and Seio school districts could easily
pass for the work of furniture manu-
featuring concern.
Heavy rains during the past week
were responsible for the absence of
number iof entries in the livestock ex
hibits yesterday. Every department
was represented in the stock parade,
but today ana tomorrow more contest
ants are expected. Stock judging COM
mences today, with final awards to ba
made tomorrow.
Several fast horses are in the racing
stables to attend the three'day pro.
gram. Yesterday Sunny Jim, owned
by Mrs. II. c. Davis, of Vancouver,
Wash, won first money from field of
five in the 2:25 pace. The Scio half.
mile track holds the state record of
/ :03, and in speed events scheduled for
today and tomorrow many fast heats
are looked for.

pions won.
Another Red Sox infielder went to

game.
Frank Baker got his first hit since
his return to the Yank lineup in the
second game of double header at

cripples in the second game.
Eleven hits by the Indians were good

ATHLETIC
UNION MEETS TODAY
Leading Athletes Of Whole
Country Gather, Records
Certain to Fall
BY H. G. Hamilton,

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Newark, N. j., Sept. S.-JuniOr titles
of the amateur athletic union will be
decided this afternoon on the track and
field of Weequahic Park here. The
greatest athletes of the nation are
gathered for the meet which will in
elude the senior championships tomor-
row.
The fact that athletes whose per-
formances have been close to records,
and unofficially better in some in
stances are included in the entries,
makes it almost certain that records
will fall
The Olympic club of San Francisco,
which holds the team championship,
gained year ago at the San Francisco
exposition meet, will have to surrender
that honor, for only two athletes from
that club are entered this year. The
New York Athletic club is favored to
win the title This will be decided to-
morrow.
Excellent weather conditions insure
a fast track for today's junior com
petition.
Interest in the contest centers main
ly in the possibilities of victories for
the western champions. The middle
west and the Pacific coast are sending
men who stand head and shoulders
above previous importations from those
sections, although some of them are
men who already have taken part in
the bigger games.
The University of Missouri, in Simp-
son and Floyd, has two wonderful men
and the two are entered for the senior
championships having been picked at
the meet recently held in st. Louis.
Simpson, besides being broad jumper
of uncanny power, holds an unofficial
worlds record for the 120-yard high
hurdles and Floyd has a record in the
pole vault. Simpson has been timed
going over the barriers in 14-35 see
onds, record that is absolutely
astounding.
From the far west will come Kelly,
Thomson and Murray, all hurdlers,
every one of whom has cleared the
high hurdles in less than 10 seconds.
Arlie Mucks, the prodigious weight
HEAVIER from the University of Wiscon-
sin, will be contender and the big
athlete is expected to knock the props
from under some records.
The western coast athletes already
have sent apologies ahead for any
failures in the meet. They must make
a long trip to compete and if they are
stale it will be blamed to that. Travel
ling, it is admitted, has bad effect on
runners and jumpers.
.Joie Ray, wearing the colors of the
]. A. c., also is entered for the distance
runs.
Alva Richards Cornell's strong man
who halls from Provo, Utah, is favored
to take the all round honors in the
meet September 10th. He is the pres
ent champion. He also was victor in
the last Olympic games at the high
jump.
Records are certain to fall when these
classy athletes get together in competi'
ton. 1t probably is the greatest col
lection of performers ever brought to.

ticket would invite criticism and would
tend to impair the usefulness Of the or

not in great demand, for the reason that
not one of them pays salary. though

OLD LETTER SHOWS HULL WAS
FIRST TO ENTER GRAND CANYON

Flagstaff, ARK, jan 2S.-Discovery
of an old letter in the depths of the
Grand Canyon. it is now believed. has
determined for all time the identity
OF the first white man to venture into
that vast ehasm. The honor goes to
William Hull a pioneer who for many
years raised horses near the rim OF
the canyon, if the letter is 10 be &C
cepted as final evidence.
The letter was discovered by Wal
ter Hubbell and o. r. ABEL. while they
were going around THE loop be-
tween the Hermit and Bright Angel
trails II was under rock Portions
had been destroyed by water but some
OF the writing was clear.
The letter was written by F. Ran
dolph February 20. 1885, at Challen-
der, an old settlement in the northern
port Of COconino county. 1t is be-
lieved that Hull lost it while hunting
horses in the canyon That he would
have carried il very long after re-
eeiving it is unlikely.
Many early Spanish and American
explorers saw the canyon but there is
no record OF anyone venturing below
the rim until the SOS
