THE COMING FAIR.
Arrangements Entered Upon with Great
Spirit by j. o. Mack and Others.

Mr.. ]. o. Mack, the genial secretary
of the Second Eastern Oregon District
Fair Association, has taken a desk in
the Office of T. A. Hudson, on Washing
ton street, where he can be consulted in
any matters pertaining to the fair and
races, which will open on the 10th of
October and continue five days. From
the amount of papers and books he has
received it would seem that he intends
to do land office business, and if the
fair is not a success, it will not be his
fault, as he always takes great interest
in this matter, and the management all
acknowledge that the successes of the
past years are almost entirely due to his
energy and perseverance. With the
able assistance of Miss Anne Lang as
chief marshaLof the pavilion, we may
look forward to the fair of 1896 as being
the banner fair of the state.
The race track is being put in condi.
ton under, the superintendence of Mr.
Alden Brown, an able and experienced
track man, and you can look out fol
record breakers this fall. But do MOI
forget that these people cannot make {
successful fair themselves, but only
with your assistance and do not say
that you did not know. Ask and ye shall
receive; knock and it shall be opened
unto you-all the information necessal.
to make the fair grand success.

existed that after hauling wheat to The
Dalles the Regulator would haul it to
Portland for several cents less per bushel
than the company's charge from above.
But the portage road being destroyed,
the Regulator is eliminated from COM
petition.
c. B. Don and eight others have been
hauled up before Judge Bellinger in
the United States court at Portland to
show cause why they should not be per-
manently enjoined from herding stock
on the Cascade timber reserve. Just
when and where this contemplate busi-
ness is to end nobody appears to know,
at present. It looks as though knock
ing out whisky to Indians" cases in
the United States courts at Portland,
stranded the marshal and his deputies,
and they have adopted this as ruse to
keep up their salaries.-Moro Observer.

drew room full of people at the Bald
win opera house last night, and they
were we'll repaid for going. There were
present upon the stage Mrs. Holman,
grand chief of honor; Mrs. Young, past
grand chief; Mrs. Maggie Huston, grand
recorder; E. Worlin, grand master
workman. and D. G.. Herrin, grand lee
turer. After very fine chorus by a
mum ber of voices composing the Degree
of Honor choir, Mrs. M. E. Briggs ap-
peared upon the stage and delivered an
address of welcome. We are at a loss to
find sufficient words of praise to crop
erly describe this address. With great
elocutionary power, Mrs. Briggs de-
5livered a welcome SO replete with beau
tifui- sentiment, the whole pervaded
with an overpowering spirit of frater-
nifty, that the moments required in de-
livering it sped by unmarked. The
response was by Grand Master Worlin,
who in an interesting address of con-
siderable length appealed to all to join
the Workmen, closing with the scrip
tural quotation that he who did not pro-
vide for his own family was worse than
an 1nfidel. A pretty vocal duet followed
by Mrs. o. Stephens and Mrs. E. Young,
assisted by Messrs. Jesse Crandall and
DIR. Doane. Grand Lecturer D. G. Her.
rln then surprised his friends by a
forceful address upon the benefits of
Workmanship, answering every charge
of it's enemies by facts and figures which
were invincible. Mr. Herrin shows
qualities valuable for astatisticfan. His
head contains more figures than an old
fashioned Rays arithmetic. He was
listened to carefully to the close. A
vocal solo by DIR. Doane followed. The
gentleman was in good voice and the
selection was much appreciated. Miss
Jennie Russell next recIted very dra-
matte recitation which claimed the
closest attention. After chorus, a
tableau was gwen entitled Charity,
Hope and Protection It was very
beautiful and most effective, embodying
at a glance the lesson to be learned by
the program which had preceded it.
Owing to the great crowd of people pres
ent, no effort was made to secure names,
but the entertainment cannot fail oi
largely increasing the membership oi
the order. The A. o. U. w. has fairly
opened the amusement season.

A CRYING SHAME.
The Farmers Lose Thousands of Dollars
Again on Freights.

To q man up tree it looks as though
the wheat farmers had again been sold
out, and that there is very black. niger
in the woodpile.
The most severe effect of tearing up
the portage road is to place the wheat
raisers completely at the mercy of the
railway transportation company again.
1t is impossible, by the expensive pro-
cess of transporting across the portage in
wagons, for the D. P. & A, N. Co. to
handle this years whea5 crop at any
thing like the rates of last year.
We are informed that the state por-
tage road could have been fixed up for
the triHe of $3.50. Instead of repairing
it, however, Mr.. G. G.. Hobart, who was
employed by the state and paid by the
patrons of the D. P. & A. N. Co. to
superintend the portage, saw fit to de-
stroy it. We do not charge that he has
been induced by the railway corporation
to destroy the portage, while paid by
the state to keep it in repair and operate
it, but we should feel better about it if
the following questions were satisfac-
torily answered:
Why was it expedient to remove the
portage road?
Was it in the way of the Day Bros ?
If SO, how?
Did anyone petition or, request that it
be removed?
If it had been in operation would it
not have saved the producers of wheat
alone thousands of dollars in transpor-
tation charges?
For months the D. P. & A. N. Co.
have toiled along as best they could
without the use of the portage road.
What measures have. Mr.. Hobart ever
taken to enable the Regulator line to
continue its use? Where is there a
record of his protest against it's diseon-
tinuance, or of any effort made by him
to reopen it?
If he is paid a good salary for superin-
tending and operating the portage, why
has he not superintended and operated
it, and does his salary continue for mo-
doing so?
/ When these questions are answered
we will then be better enabled to judgt
whether it is necessary for the Klickita
farmers, who have heretofore haulet
their wheat to The Dalles, to haul it t,
Columbus as they are now doing. Th,
effect is so far-reaching that the Dia
mond Flour Mills-of this city do not re
ceive enough for their own consump
tion, and are compelled to pay abov
the market price for wheat. Their fig
ures yesterday were so cents a bushel
This figure does not indicate prosperit,
i for the farmer, for the market for hom'
use IS limited. It is also figure of
fered at the sacrifice of the -four milling
company by force of pressure of tn
larger transportation company, who re
ceive the bulk of the crop for shipmen
at Columbus, and out of which they ex
tract generous toll for shipment t
Portland.
