The Agricultural Fair

The Agricultural Fair was not all that II
might have been, and certainly fell behind
public expectation The cause of the failure
may readily be stated-a lack of interest
To- make an industrial fair a success the CO.
operation of all classes must be enlisted
We have in this valley number of industrii-
al enterprises that ought to have been rep
resented The pavilion is poorly lighted.
and altogether bad place for the exhibition
OF specimens of artistic skill. With another
year better room should be provided, and
then we may expect exhibition of our
products and resources that will illustrate
tbs capacity of the country.
In the line of home manufactures there
was absolutely no exhibit whatever. The
Dayton wooden mills can make a fine dis
play of cloths, blankets and fiannels; but
there was not 4 single contribution from
that quarter. Our blacksmith and wagon
shops, all of them capable of turning ont
credltable specimens OF mechanical skill,
were unrepresented. We have several furni.
ture-manufactories in the valley, and the
far received no encouragement from that
quarter. One of these shops-that of Everts
Il Able-turns out specimens that will COM
pare favorably with the best furniture i'm
ported from abroad, and should have been
L
would call ont contributions from the quar-
tcrs named, and greatly add to the interest
of the annual fairs.
Dealers in agricultural machinery should
be pressed into the service, and thus by a
union Of the products of the farm and work
shop secure an exhibition that would repay
thevisitor for his outlay of time and money
The annual fair of rich and progressive
country like this should be something more
than n series of horse races, and it is for the
managers OF the society to see that in the
future there is marked improvement in
this regard
Some few individuals exerted themselves
to make the fair lccess, and these should
have special credit In the line of fruits and
garden products We may mention Messrs.
Philip Ritz, S II. Erwin, F. NJ Byrd, and
George Starett whose contributions gave in
terest to that department of the fair The
exhibition of horses, cattle, sheep and swine
was creditable, and showed a marked i'm
proyement upon the exhibits of previous
yea".
The mistakes and omissions of this year
can be corrected, and when summoned to
attend another fair We trust not only to wit
ness full representative of the products of
our farms and gardens, but also a showing
OF the products OF mechanical and artistic
skill. We have manufactures of furniture,
saddles and harness, sash, docr and blinds,
barrels and buckets, boots and shoes, leather,
and many others, all of which when brought
together and properly arranged makes up 4
show that is interesting to look at and at
the same time serves the purpose of instrue
ton.

FRENCH RESTAURANT.-It will be no.
ticed that Mr. John Lucas, associated with
Mr.. Adolphe Teller, has opened a res
taurant, where the public will be accom-
modated with meals at all hours, day and
night Mr. John Lucas has long been
known as one of the best cooks In the
country, and his name alone will attract
all lovers of good living. His partner is
also French cook, and between them
they viii give their patrons an opportu-
nity to live well.

THE WHEAT MARKET may fairly be de-
scribed as in disturbed condition. The
fast freight" arrangement Was calculated
to confuse shippers, and now comes the an
nouncement from below Of an advance of
81 80 per ton on I'll grain shipped from Port
land to san Francisco. The charge of 80 a
ton for 80 fast freight" over the railroad was
practically an advance Of II 20 ton, and
now an equal advance on the San Francisco
route, makes a total of So ton, or II cents
4 bushel--ali to come out OF the producers.
We understand tina. some very spicy CORES
pondeuce has passed over the telegraph with
III the past week growing out of these freight
complications, and that change of policy
is possible if not probable. In the meantime
the demand for wheat IS falling off and oper-
ators show disposition to draw out. Lead
inc merchants still receive wheat on account,
allowing the seller at the rate of 20 cents a
bushel. The millers are paying 10 cents
bushel for choice wheat, but the demand
from this source Is limited. At the present
date wheat in San Francisco commands 81 so
per hundred, and with proper facilities for
moving the crop, grain in this market would
be worth full S7l cents : bushel. The dit
ference between 20 and 81 cents bushel
is what our farmers are paying for the neg
lect of freighters to provide means Of trans
portation. The man who buys wheat now
cannot expect to get it to San Francisco III
side of two months, and it is this fact that
makes operators shy and literally drives
them out of market. In this age of rail
roads. and steamboats, and steamships, 1t
will astound the world to be told that 1T re-
auires two months to move a ton OF wheat
from Walla Walla to San Francisco, and
vet snch is the fact 1udeed, the man VINO
goes into market to-day and buys wheat has
ro assurance that he will be able to get 1t
ont of the country before the close OF naviga-
tion To buy under these circumstances is
to take desperate chances, and hence pru-
dent men hold Off

JAMES Brown, an original character
and the man who figured so prominently
on the wrong side in the Grover nvesti-
CATION, is at Walla Walla on public bust
ness. In politics Brown is free lance,
but in everything else he is clever, social
gentleman. Like old governor Pope, OF
Kentucky, he has but one arm to get into
the treasury, and this doubtless accounts
for the fact that he has remained poor
whilst other radicals of less ability have
grown rich.

The MAIN STREET BRIDGE, now being
put mp, looks as though it may prove a sub
stantial structure The contractor, Mr.. Dion
Keefe, has had much experience in building
bridges in the Western States, and this ex
perience will be Of advantage to him in the
Job now on hand. Tocommence with he has
gone some thirty or forty feet back from the
stream to get foundation, and this of itself
gives the idea of durability. The timbers
as they are now on the ground are all massive
and bolted and tied together with iron
bars, it is altogether likely that the bridge
viii outlast the present generation. The
system of putting in brush bridges, to be
washed away by every freshet, was expen-
sive, and We are glad 20 see it abandoned.
The most important bridge in the county, it
will serve as a model for other structures of
the same kind and in the end most likely
Will be the means of introducing better
and more economical system of bridge bnild-

"THE DAscE OF DEATH. "A book with
this title has btcn laid upon our table, and
from hurred reading We think gu ite favor
ably of it The modern waltz we have ALWAYS
regarded as an abomination, and with US it has
been matter of surprise that any pure wo-
man could indulge in this pastime. We have
not forgotten Byron's lines in which the
waltz is characterised in language more for
cibie than polite. And here is a writer who
is even more forcible in his denunciation of
this fashionable vice A ball room is sketch
ed, and couple indulging in the anlatory
dance are thus described.
'He is stalwart, agile, mighty; she is tall,
supple, 1.-THE, and how beautiful IN form and
feature. Her head rests upon his shoulder,
her face is upturned to his her naked arm
Is almost ar0and his neck: her swelling
breast heaves tumultuuusly against his; face
to face they whirl, his limbs interviewer with
her limbs; with strong right arm about her
yielding waist, he presses her to him till
every curve IN the contour OF her lovely body
thrills with the amorous contact Her eyes
look into his, but she sees nothing; the soft
music fills the rOom but she hears nothing
swiftly he whirls her from the floor or bends
her frail body to and fro in his embrace, but
she knows 1t not his hot breath is upon her
hair, his lips almost touch her forehead, yet
she does not shrink his eyes cleaning with
fierce intolerable lust, gloat Satyrlike over
her, yet she does not quail she is filled with
rapture divine in Its intensity-she is in the
maelstrom of burning desire-her spirit is
with the gods With a last, low wall the
music ceases. Her swooning senses come
back to life. All, must it be Yes her COM
panion releases her from his embrace. Lean
ing wearily upon his arm, the rapture faded
from her eye, the flush dying from her cheek
-enervated, limp, listless, worn out-she is
led to a seat, there to recover from her de-
lirum and gather her energies as best she
may IN the space of five minutes, after which
she must yield her body to a new embrace"
We commend this book to all heads of
families in the belief that after its perusal
they viii be careful how they allow their
daughters to submit to the embrace OF the |
lewd men who form so large proportion of |
those who figure at so-called fashionable |
parties. Thebooks is sold by Mesrs kimball
