Every little while a min iature tram runs over this railroad, carrying pnaaengera to und fro in the grounds. It stops lit the Oregou build mg, for there is ereeted next to it a station built of logs and ia a replica of the building itself. The people to renrh this station must pass through the building, which given the Oregon products a better rhnnrc of heiug seen by u great number o f people. Mr. (juayle states thut it is necessary to puss by Willamette Valley booth to get through to the station. The art exhibit designed by A. H.

Salem ia exploiting the loganberry juire on quite an ex tensive scale and the juice ia meeting with univernal approval by all who tnatn it. To get a good idea of the California country, Mr. Quayle says one should tnke the trip from Han Francisco to Han Jose und l.os Gatos and bark to Man Francisco through I'ulo Alto. On this trip practienlly all the different California fruits may be seen. Other trips which are instructive and inter esting aerording to Mr. Qunyle nre the trip to Mt. Ttiinnlpina and the one down the state highway along the orenn nnd return from the bay city. Good Weather The weather of the past week has been quite a contrast to that wbirh pre vailed for some time previously. The nights have been decidedly chilly nnd I the days buve not been nearly us sultry, j There has been no rain, however, de spite the fact that hoppirking has com menced. As there are no hops in this immediate vicinity a rain would be wel comed by the farmers. Those who advertise in The Hentinel enn give you better prices on merchan dise than those who don't, because they sell larger quantities nnd don’t need so large n profit. jn29tf More Clothes Stolen Mrs. Albert Stocks, who resides just east of the city pnrk, had most o f her underclothes stolen while nhsent from home Hundny. The loss of the gar ments is n serious one to the Indy. It seems too hnd that the thief or thieves who nre making u specialty of stealing clothes, underwear especially, can't bo caught and punished. SENDW1NNERS AT LANE CO. FAIR TO STATE FAIR Two Boys and Two Girls to Have Expenses Paid While Seeing the Sights The Lane County fnir board has ar ranged to stand the expense of sending the two boys and two girls who win in the school industrial exhibit at the l.nno County fnir this full to the state fair at Hnlem. It was also agreed to stnnd all expenses up to 4*75 of sending the school exhibit to the state fair. Bird Fanciers Mistake Gentle Pullet for Rooster C. II. Haight nnd J. A. Merry man have heretofore been able to impress their friends that their knowledge of the rhicken business was second to none, but they will be able to do so no longer. It hnppened this wsy: Mr. Haight was desirous of raising capons for the more fnatidioua of his customers. Harry Wynne had offered to show him how a rooster could be changed to n capon, so Mr. Haight brought in the bird. Mr. Wynne hap pened to be out of the store at the time nnd Mr. Benson informed him that Mr. Merryman, next door, could show him just ns well, so the bird was taken in there. The operation was well under way when Mr. Wynne returned nnd dropped in to aee whnt lurk hia proxy was hnving. As soon ns he saw the bird he remarked, “ Why thnt’t a pul- lett” —and it was.

BIG BROWN MILL TO START NEXT WEEK HAVE ORDERS THAT WILL KEEP MILL GOING. Chambers Mill Also Has Largs Orders Which It Will Take Months to Fill.—Sky Line to Be Installed. County Court but Finds Ex chequer Empty. A delegation of Cottage Grove «-iti- xens culled upon the rounty court Thursday afternoon to again ask that a bridge be built aeross the fionat Fork at the southern edge of that city so that the mam road lending from north to south might pass through the cen ter of the city instead of on the west side, at the edge of the rity, ns at the present time. This matter came up several months ago nnd at that time the members of the court informed the riti/.ens of the south l.ane rity that there were no funds this year for thut purpose. The members of the delegation here Thurs day stated thut it had been reported the court would have some money left in the bridge fund, und if so thpy wanted first call. However, they were iufornied by the court that the report wus untrue, nnd thut the fund was still short. The bridge will have to wait until some future time. The members of the delegation were Klbert Hi de, editor of The Hentinel, C. M. Mhinn, F. M. Harrison, Dr. A. W. Kime und George O. Knowles.

Will Stoot I d Rifle Contest« and Hit Bull's Eye as Often as Best of Them. Looks Like Big Forest Fire But Does Very Little Damage. The rifle team of tlth Co. Const Ar tillery Corps left Cottage Grove Mon day for ClackumHs to tnke part in the various events nt the state meet nnd try for places on the Oregon team to lie nent to the nutional contest at Jack sonv ¡lie, Florida, in October. The Cot- tugc Grove boys nre crack shots und will give u good account of themselves. Capt. Lee Roy Woods picked the team and will be in command. The team is composed of Sergeants Lee C. Tennis, Butte Mooney. Hurry B. Conner, Chus. Thornton, and Lee Roy Woods, team captain. Resident* of Cottage Grove thought a large forest fire was in progress southeast o f here one day last week, the sky being well lighted by the re flection of flames. The fire was on Hobart Butte, upon which there is very little timber, and no great damage was done. There were also several large fires set to burn slashings but there was no danger from these. Oregon bens are still cutting a wide swath at the Han Francisco Exposition. White Leghorns from Prof. James Dry- den ’a flock at the Agricultural College are so far ahead of competing egg-lay ers from other states that the contest which ends Nov. 15 is certain to prove them winners by a splendid margin. The champion Leghorns thus far are 172 eggs ahead of the best pen from any other state, and the second best pen is also filled with a flock from the Oregon Agricultural College. A Vic toria, B. C\, pen occupies third place in the contest, but another Oregon pen is roming along at such a rate within the past few days that there is every reason to believe Oregon will capture first, second and third places in this great contest involving hunrdeds of birds from many states and countries. Prof. Dryden is the man who produced the world’s champion 303 egg hen for Oregon and is now demonstrating that Oregon methods and Oregon breeding stock will result in producing champion flocks even in such an abominable cli mate as that in the immediate vicinity o f the Golden Gate. The starting of the big Brown mill next week ia still further encourage meat to local labor and business men. With prospects of continuous operations this mill will resume operations just as soon as logs can be secured, which will be about the middle of the week. Beth the Brown and the Chambers mills have been operating intermittent ly during the past year. With a largo number of loeal and Willamette Valley orders both mills now hope to continue operations indefinitely. Manager Hill, of the Brown Lumber Co., says: “ We have the orders and that means em ployment whether or not we play even or not." One of the orders on which the Chambers mill is working is one for 200,000 feet of timber for a bridge over the Hacramento River at Duusmuir, Uaiif. A new feature of the operations at the U. H. Logging camp, which fur nishes logs for the two mills, will be a sky line for bringing the logs down the big hill at Rujada. This method has never been used in this vicinity, although it is said to be successful else where. TLe continuous operation of these two big mills will mean much for busi ness in the Cottage Grove country, al though the improvement in the lumber market is so slight that mill men are none to ooptimistie. TRY FOR FIRST PRIZE AT STATE FAIR Lane County's Exhibit to Be Selected and Prepared by Cal M. Young Many Licenses Are Issued During the month of August County Oierk B. it.

ARMORY TO BE DEDICATED MARKET AT EUGENE A SUCCESS Date October 1«; Col. Hnnunond Master F4nn#rs * LoU of Ceremonies and Sold AU ln Jig Time. Eugene’s new $50,000 O. N. O. ar mory will be dedicated on Haturdav, Get. Hi. This date has been decided upon by the general staff of the Ore gon National Guard, and Colonel C. C. Hammond, commanding the coast artil lery corps, has been designated ns mas ter of ceremonies. Colonel Hammond will prepare the program for the dedication, which is planned to be the largeat nnd best func tion of its kind ever held in the state. The new produce market at Eugene opened Saturday und results were satisfactory to buyers and sellers alike. Numerous farmers brought in farm pro duce, all o f which was snapped up by buyers long before closing time. Mr. und Mrs. J. G. Robbins returned Monday from their ranch on Mosby Creek. They brought with them some fine samples of Crawford peaches and late fall apples. PRESERVE OREOON BUILDING Idea Favored by George M Hyland and Others. If George M. Hyland can accomplish it, the Oregon Building will be pre served along with the fine arts palace und the dome of the horticulture pal ace. The matter hus been broached to exposition officials and it is said thnt President Moore nnd Commissioner R. B. Hale have given the idea their hearty endorsement. Mr. Hyland and the Ore gon Commission are doing all that is possible to bring about this greatly to- lie-desired disposition of the Oregon structure. This building is on presidio, or government ground, and if the gov ernment will make eertain coneesaions the Oregon Pnrthenon will stand for many years as a magnificent advertise ment of Oregon resources. While the structure contains u vast quantity of marketable lumber it is said that the salvage would bring no more than the cost of removing the structure, so there is added reason for leaving the build ing stand as it is. It is a tremendously substantial building, could be made to serve splendid purpose for many years to come, and would prove an exposition landmark thnt thousands would find pleasure in viewing. The Lurch Family at Home Mr. and Mrs. B. Lurch are receiving visits from Mrs. Hurry Krueger of Butte, Mont., Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Mc- I C ’ readie and Miss Janis MoCVeadie of 'Ban Francisco. Mrs. Lurch has just re turned from a two months' visit at the Panama Exposition. She claims that the Oregon exhibit and building is the best at the fair. Don't miss the want ads on last page. The Flax Industry The Oregon legislature appropriated $50,000 to enable the state officials to test the flax industry. About 500 tons of flax in the straw have been grown by farmers nnd pulled by hand with convict labor. This flax straw with the seed on has been assembled in one of the large ! buildings at the state prison. Machinery is being installed to save i the seed and reduce the flax straw in to commercial fibre for manufacture of twine. By pulling the flax up by the roots about one-fourth longer fibre is ob tained, but this is expensive work. In the past flax could only be grown successfully in countries having cheap labor for pulling the flax. The European war has prostrated the industry in some of the principal flax- producing countries. It ia believed that this is a favorable time to introduce and establish the in dustry in Oregon. BOOTH-KELLY WILL RESUME 200 Men Will Be Employed at Their Wendling Mill With a crew of 200 men in the mill and the woods, the Booth-Kelly Lumber company will resume operations at Wendling next Monday, according to A. C. Dixon, manager of the company, after having been closed since July 20. Mr. Dixon said yesterday that a crew of 00 men has been at work on the mill since it closed, making repairs in a gen eral wav. A new dam has been built, a new carriage has been installed and other improvements have been made. The company will operate but 75 men in the timber to get out logs, says Mr. Dixon. They will furnish logs only for the Wendling mill, the supply from the pond at Coburg being used by the Springfield mill. Mr. Dixon says that the men are al ready gathering at the camps and everything will be in readiness by Mon day to resume operations at full capaci ty.—Eugene Register. Six-Year-Old Gets Trout While Elders Fish in Vain The futility of expert knowledge of trout fishing and of going equipped with the most up-to-date tackle was demonstrated a few- days ago. C. H. Burkholder and A. W. Wampole and family were spending Sunday on the McKenzie. The men were prepared to land the legal limit of finny beauties. To keep him quiet Mr. Wampole's little son Roy was equipped with a twig cut from a tree and about six feet of line with which to fish along the bank. The men put in a strenuous day and did not get a bite. The little six-year-old boy, with an outfit that no trout fisher man would use, landed two beauties, one being twelve inches long. That Lane County is going after the first prize for the best county exhibit at the state fair at Salem this year was the statement of Cal M. Young, one of the officers of the Willakenzie Grunge, which has been given the task of pre paring the exhibit. The Willakenzie Grange took first prize at the Lane County fair last year for the best grange exhibit, and it is believed that the members will be able to gather a prize winning exhibit for the state fair. Besides Mr. Young, George W. Taylor and A. C. Rice are on the committee to collect the products und see to their installation at Salem. Mr. Young and Mr. Taylor were at Salem this week and selected the best place in the big pavilion for Lane Coun ty 's exhibit. The booth formerly held bj Washington County, which will not enter an exhibit this year, was se lected. Arrangements have been made by the committee with the Eugene Ice & Stor age company to store all fresh fruit and vegetables offered by the farmers for the state fair exhibit und all grains and grasses will be stored in the of fice of the Great Western Land com pany. The best of the exhibits at the Lane County fair will be used to help in muking up the display for the state fair, but the products that are offered individually by the farmers and which are to be stored will not be shown at the county fair. Any farmer who has an unusually fine specimen of fruit, vegetables, grain or grasses is invited to present them either at the storage plant at the foot of Ferry Street, oppo site the cannery, or at the land com pany's office on Ninth Avenue West. The county court has been asked to make an approrpiation to defray the expenses of gathering and transporting the exhibit to the state fair. The Po mona Grange and the Lane County fair association have made the request jointly. ----------------------------- Lyceum Dates The Ellison-White Lyceum Bureau furnish The Sentinel the following dates for the ;oming winter: Beverlys, Nov. 11; Apollos, Nov. 24; Arnold, Dec. 8; Wells, Jan. 14; Landon, March 6.
