terest Of the state fair, During his
absence he visited Portland, Tacoma
and Seattle the upper Sound country
and British Columbia. He lie very well
satisfied with the results of the trip
and saws that the interest in the state
fair is surprising, considering the
meagre advertising it has received and
the counter attractian OF the Inter-
state fair.
In Portland the horsemen are greatly
interested in the race meeting, and the
same is true of the bicrclists. Ar
rangements were also made for many
industrial exhibits by private firms,
and what with the fine norses from
Portland stables, the many wheelmen
who will be present, the displays of
Oregon wooden goods, agricultural pro
ducts, machinery, etc, Portland will be
represented at the fair as becomes a city
soon to become SO intimately connected
with us by the new rRilrcad.
In Seattle the committee appointed
to arrange an Interstate fair exhibit
has also taken up the matter of dis
play at the state fair, and are doing
everything possible to arouse an interest
The personnel OF the committee is as
follows; Dr. Crichton, president of the
honse of delegates, LeAnder Miller, of
the board of alderman, G. W. Hummer,
manager OF the Denny CLAW Co., E. S.
Meany, secretary of the state university
and A. D. Warner attorney. They will
act in conjunction with Commissioner
Engle, and gaeat results are expected.
So far their success has been very en-
couraging.
Everett will occupy a large space in
the exhibition building.
Displays will be made by the Puget
Sound Wire, Nail & Steel Co., who will
send samples of their wares and some
of the machinery used in making them;
the Puget Sound Pulp & Paper Co.,

peculiar intere in Central Washing
ton. 1t will be placed at point in the
river near the grounds.
Tacoma is also expected to make a
large display. The chamber of com
MERGE is pushing things in this
direction, and will be ably assisted
by j. 7. Eshelman, who has volun-
teered to devote three days week to
the far.
Nh. Hume visited Victoria B. c.,
during the races there and says we
may expect a large number Of fine
horses from Victoria, Vancouver and
Calgary. He was fortunate in the time
he arrived there, since he was able to
see large number of horsemen from re-
mote points who were in attendance
at the races, and who were greatly
pleased at his description Of the state
fair track, which, they thought should
be fast one.
Jars for the Whitman county ex
hibit have been sent to H. II. Spauld-
ing, at Colfax, who will devote his
special attention to getting that ex
h'biJ ready. Dr. Blalock will make a
private exhibit of the products of his
orchard. and Is also working up a
arge exhibit for Walla Walla county,
Encouraging reports come from all
points in Eastern Washington, where
the state fair is justly regarded as the
best medium for great advertisement
for that magnificent country.
