Polk County Exhibits Shine at State Fair
Polk County displays impressed the state fair judges with strong vegetable and grain entries. Notable wins came from Mr. Van Walters and Independence farmers with cucumbers and prunes taking first. The absence of hop samples drew laughs as hop farmers missed the show due to busy harvests. Hood River County lagged, admitting it lacked “get up” to exhibit. The Polk exhibit filled the main hall and earned widespread praise.

Horse Thief Behind Bars After Hop Yard Escape
Evan Kemp, a young horse thief linked to a theft at Krebs Hop Yard near Independence, drove off with a team and buggy after hitching the horses to a tree. He wrecked south of Roseburg, surrendered at a Yonealja hop yard, set fire to a jail, and is held in Dallas County jail facing charges. The incident drew sheriffs from Polk, Marion, and Multnomah counties into a long pursuit ending in capture. The team was returned in poor condition, and Kemp, from a respected family, faces a lengthy penitentiary term amid concerns about alcohol and reckless behavior.
