Fair to spotlight Hat County industries and crafts
Umatilla county leads eastern Oregon and with Morrow county hosts a county fair that should showcase not only farm displays but a broad mechanical and manufacturing pavilion. A large electric motor will drive a central exhibit with a loom, foundry machinery, cream separators, presses, planing mill gear, laundry equipment, lathes, forges, broom machines, sorghum gear, wool processing, butter and cigar making, saddlery and more, turning the fair into a beehive of industry and activity each afternoon.

Indian Language Grammar Claim by Prof. Kroeber
Prof A L Kroeber of the University of California argues that Indian languages possess complex and distinct grammar rather than being mere jargon. In a pamphlet on the Yakuts and Yule languages he says they differ completely, with no common origin or shared vocabulary.
