State FAIR PROGRESS
A Big Work Being Successfully Carried
Forward By the Commissioners.

In conversation with President Parker,
OF the State Fair board, Wednesday, he
gave the following pertinent hits of in
formation regarding the progress OF the
great work now going forward which
promises to make the State Fair success
In every particular:
The grand stand is now being raised,
and work on the fence is progressing. A
car load OF posts for fencing was received
Tuesday aud 50, 900 feet of lumber, for the
same purpose are expected daily from the
Dean Mercantile 4 Lumber company Of
Hot Springs.
The Fair commissioners have decided
to build 90 good stalls for horses in sddi-
ton to the 80 now in use and there is
every indication that this number will
hardly satisfy the demand. There will
also be built 80 sheep and hog pens.
There will be meeting OF the Fair
commissioners during the last week of
this month aud there are assurances that
Messrs. Engle and Reavis will he present.
Agent l.. T. Erwia is taking much
interest in the Fair, and, at the request
OF President Parker, he is endeavoring to
obtain permission from the Indians OF the
reservation to exhibit their treasured
relics and heirlooms, which have never
been on display, and he is OF the opinion
that success will crown his efforts. al
though the Indians have always guarded
them most jAalously. This would prove
Il most attractive feature of the Fair.
The Northern Pacific company has not
only made round trip passenger rate OF
Is single fare, but it has agreed to re-
turn exhibits free, and in the case OF per-
ishables when not returned proper show
ing, endorsed by the Fair officers, will
result in the refundins OF first transporta

Applications for entries are coming in
rapidly and the officers are kept exceed
ingly busy.

Notes from the Hop Fields.

The hop growers turned out strong to
the association meeting last Saturday and
out OF 1877 old growers there are now about
loo who are members OF the association.
The ;ost OF membership is only 81 and no
grower can afford 10 fail to take advant-
ase OF its benefits. The pickers OF the
association members will be given free
tickets to the barbecue and races while
those OF the outside growers will lie
charged % cents, and as it is certain that
the pickers will insist upon this favor in
contracting the non-association grower
will be considerably out. Another meet
ing OF the association will be held at the
opera house Saturday afternoon.
Under the association rules bosses in
the hop fields, for yards of under 81
pickers, will be allowed only $3.50 per
day.
The Wenas district appears to have
been overlooked IN THE HERALD's list OF
hop growers. There are 90 acres divided
as follows; Tom Taylor Is; Sam Alex
ander IL; Simon Taylor Il; Lloyd Pur-
den 4, and w. W. Dickerson 0.
There is little change in hop quotations,
the market being weaker il anything, and
not above 3 cents is mentioned for con-
tracts. This will practically shut out
most OF the renters and all OF that class
M hn baya moi t,,nuax, a,, hand E., . Nib; "a,
AS twothirds Of the crop would hardly puy
for picking at these figures. A. b. Weed,
Anson White aud other long. headed anu
conservative growers believe that after
picking and when the market settles
doan from its present STARE, prices will
stiffen and from ten TO twelve cents will
be readily realized. Peter Bellies relates
how he picked an abandoned crop at
Puyallup when the quotations were only
cents, and i'll the following spring he
| sold for 70 cents per pound. 1T is good

after winning you do not throw away
your money YOU are sure to get rich by
following the business.
II. J. Mackison will take his newly in
vented hop cleaner to the 81 Wiley ranch
for testing this week. The machine is
simple in construction and Was built by
Alex Mclean. Ii it responds TO the
claims made in its behalf hops, leaves
and all can be stripped from the vines,
thrown into the cleaner and the hops will
come out cleaner than II carefully picked
by hand. This would result in quicker
picking and large reduction in the cost.

A THOUGHT FOR TAXPAYERS.

The time for holding the various county
and state conventions is fast approaching
and the usual button. holing has long
since begun. The taxpayers meantime
are passing sleepless nights over the prob
lem of getting the funds to be gathered
under the name OF taxes for these antici
pating and hopeful button-holers to d.
vide during the next two years. 1t is "a
great pity that we cannot bring the same
independence into county and state poll
tics that We sometimes bring into cit,
politics and get good and bona file
taxpayers, or citizens, ticket before the
people, pledged only to the economical
administration OF the county and state
governments. County politics and state
politics 30 far as relating to national pol
itics require the agencies of parties per
hsps, but the election OF men to admins
ter over county and even state govern
ments, would most of TIE time be more
satisfactory, il pure craftsmanship was re-
tired to much greater extent than at
present. The people are paying too much
for their state and county governments in
the state OF Washington. They feel il
regardless Of party. Debts have been
piling up on the people every year in all
dltion even to the already heavy taxes,
till now many of the counties in the state
are not able to have jnries or money to
run their courts. Thus, in kittitas county,
our nearest neighbor, the court has not
been liable to run" for nearly year be-
cause Of lack OF funds and because the
Indebtedness is over the limit, and there
appears to be no relief in sight.
This has all occurred under laws made
by a series of legislatures which were
strongly under the domination of the re-
publican party. II the opponents of tie
republican party were to join hands for
once to get an economical county govern
ment in each county in the state, put up
good and true men, and leave their isms
and schisms to the domain OF national pol
itics, they would do an everlasting ser
vice for the county and show a patriotism
OF purpose that would commend them ia
time to come to the gratitude OF suffer
ing people. viii they in this off year,
when nothing but local issues to any ex
tent are Involved. embrace this opp1rtun
ity or not? Politicians of all parties are
"fearfully AMI wonderfully" m .de. TIER
alleged shrewdness, as rule. comes to
them the day after election aud leaves
them again the day before the next cam
paign opens. They have seldom as a
class been able to realize when they really
had the proven bal bird in the hand. "

Transportation Charges Reduced

A. b. Ross, secretary OF the Yakima
Hop Growers association has just re-
ceived the following communication from
Agent II. c. Humphrey which is self.
explanatory and very gratifying;
DEAR SIR:-Raplying TO your favor of
recent date in which you ask for lower
rate on hops to the Atlantic coast, de-
sire to say that have just received Motif
cation from MIR. ;. q. Fulton, assistant
general freight agent, to the effect that
the Northern Pacific railway have agreed
with other transcontinental lines to put
in effect a special rate of $40 per l0Jfbs
on hnps in carloads, minimum weight of
of 1900 lbs per car. to Atlantic seaboard
and intermediate territory.
This will reduce present rate on hops
from this valley to New York and inter
mediate points, when shipped in car lots
ol 1880 lbs or moro each, 80 cents per
hundred pounds. also desire tn say
that Mr.. Fulton has succeeded in securing
rate of 81 cents per hundred pounds on
hops from New York to London, inclui-
ing warehouse delivery. This enables us
