SHELTON COUNTY, FRIDAY AUGUST 3 1884,
Inter State Fair Letter.

TACOMA, July 3O.-What with floods
and strikes cutting off communication
with all parts Of the country the Inter
State Fair management has been hav
ing many difficulties to contend with
of late, but now these difficulties are
past and the project is moving on bet
ter and with brighter hopes OF success
than ever before For weeks the ex.
hlbltOrs and concessioniers in Sal
Francisco and elsewhere were workin.
at cross purposes with the manage
ment, the most important letters ha
ng been in the mail blockades. TIL,
ecent arrival here of foreign commi,
sloner Joseph n Stiles has straightei
d out the tangle and work is goin
head at an increased rate to make u
or lost time.
There are host of new attraction,
hat have been secured. Commission
er Stiles in his selection of foreign ey-
hibits has taken only the best. Th,
Bohemian glass works, the Italian
>tatuary, the East Indian exhibit witt
its countless carvings, rich tapestries
and oddities of the Oriental climes, are
all coming. Amusement enterprises
are to be numerous. F. /. Thompson
manager of the scenic railway, the
most successful concession at the Mid
winter fair is here and has ordered the
Immediate construction of his uniaue
track. This will 60 up hill and down
dale, will plunge through the wild
beauty of Ravine park, enter an artifi-
cial tunnel, emerge from it only to
rush over another and similar course
back to the place of beginning.
Then there is the battle of Gettys-
burg cyclOrama, whose managers have
secured the concession and are here to
superintend the erection of the circu-
lar building in which the great battle
is to be pictured 30 graphically.
The Cairo village people are already
on the ground, having come from San
Francisco with their dancing girls,
their donkeys, their camels and their
exhibits of Oriental goods. The mana
gers of this concession announce that
the village will be an exact representa-
ton of 4 village in the far and sandy
East while those that have been seen
at Chicago and San Francisco were
American built and American design
ed structures, utterly unlike the build
ings they were intended to represent.
The Roltaire illusion shows are on
their way from San Francisco with
twenty-three tons of freight and equip
age. Five great illusions will be seen
in this concession all for one price of
admission. In San Francisco separ-
ate price of admission was charged for
each one of the illusions.
Director general Bucey has secured
from the agricultural department of
the United States the costly exhibit of
fruit models the department has gath
cred. These models include perfect
specimen of every variety of staple
fruit. AS an educator to horticultur-
lists the exhibit will prove invaluable.
The last few days have been busy
ones with the fair management and
they will grow buster from now on.
There is much to be done but there
are many hands to do it. Without a
doubt all buildings will be up, even to
the stand of the humblest concession
ier, when with fitting ceremony the
gates are opened August 18th.
