CONCERNING FAIRS.

The District Fair has come and
gone. Whether or not it has been a
financial success remains to be deter
mined. The exhibits were up to the
standard of previous years, and the
races were as good as races go. But
the fair does not seem to elicit the
interest it did in former years, and
with the exception of one day the at
tendance was not large enough to be
satisfactory to the management. just
what the reason is because the fair
has not a greater hold upon public
attention may be variously answered,
but the fact remains that these meet
ings are not what they used to be.
The management has labored earn
estly to promote the interests of the
fair, and some of the most earnest
promoters haye incurred pecuniary
obligations in order to further the
SONUl VI JuG 1oSOSltlIAOh'
Probably the solution of the prob
lem lies in the separation of the rae
ing interests from the agricultural ex-
hibits. The attendance at the pa
vilion during the evenings of fair
week was very good, and the success
of that portion of the meeting was
unquestioned.
We doubt very much if the legis-
lature can be prevailed upon to make
another appropriation for the main
<tenance of fairs throughout the state.
The State Fair at Salem was not a
financial success, and despite the
most strenuous efforts of those most
interested, ran $500 behind. In
view of the demand for economy
which is springing up from all por-
tions of the state, the legislature will
in all probability-provided they can
think OF anything else except Unit
ed States senator-refuse to make
any further appropriation for the
maintenance of fairs.
In such a case The Dalles can dc
just as surrounding places are doing
hold a fruit fair, together with az
agricultural exhibit. Walla Walls
has closed very successful meeting
OF this kind, which was both an artis
tic and financial success. Hood Rive
attracts wide attention from its an
nual fruit display. Spokane is nov
in the midst Of a glorious carnival o
fruit and flowers. None of thes'
places can exceed The Dalles in mag
nificence of display. Wasco county
can bring forth an array of Pomona
gems which no other county in tn
state could surpass. The Fruit Fai
would be rid of some of the objcc-
tionable features now attending th
incidents of racing, and it is not i'm
probable that more general interes
could be elected.
1t is very likely the fair will b
held again next fall, as the failure 0
the legislature to meet allows the az
preparation to continue; but whethe
it meets in The Dalles or not, we ca
lay our plans for the holding of
fruit and agricultural exhibit, whic
will give pleasure and satisfaction t
all concerned.

A few weeks ago the editor was taken
with very severe cold that caused him
to be in most miserable condition. It
was undoubtedly bad case of la grippe
and recognizing it as dangerous he took
immediate steps to bring about speedy
cure. From the advertisement of Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy and the many
good recommendations included therein,
we concluded to make a first trial of the
medicine. To say that it was satisfac-
tory IN its results, is putting it very
mildly, indeed. 1t acted like magic and
the result was speedy and permanent
cure. We have no hesitancy in recon-
mending this excellent Cough Remedy

AT THE RATE or ONE A DAY
SHERMAN SAYS AMERICANS NOW
RELEASED AT THAT PACE.
Paunceforte Calls Ew.ce on Mckinley
to Arrange for Call of Women
OF Diplomatic Corps.

Washington, March 13-The President
had an hour to himself after breakfast
to-day, and at 10 O'Clock began to receive
the steady Ene Of callers who filled the
ante-room. At II o'clock Sir Julian
Pauncefote, the British ambassador ar
rived and was shown through the private
part Of the house to the Presidents pri-
vate office. 1t evidently was not a social
call from the fact that the meeting was
in the Presidents office rather than in the
blue room, where social callers are re-
ceiyed. Under diplomatic uSages am
baSsad0rs have the entree to the Presi-
dent without the intermediation of the
Secretary of State, although this usage
was not observed very frequently under
the last administration. The call was
brief, lasting not beyond five minutes.
Later it was learned from authoritative
sources that the British ambassadors
call had 10 reference to pending interna-
tional questions, but was in his capacity
of Dean of the diplomatic corps.
Secretary Sherman came over from
the State Department ut Il O'clock and
spent some time with the President The
conference was so long that the cOrri-
dors filled UP and there was the largest
crowd since the day following Inaugural
tion. This led TO the usual talk as to
a conference as to Cuba.
AS Mr. Sherman left he was asked by
a representative of the Associated Press
for authority to state the nature of the
call, if it related to Cuba. The Secre-
tary replied that Cuba had not been men,
toned to-day and that there were no de-
yelOpments beyond the fact that they
(the Spanish had released another Am
erican prisoner. Mr.. Sherman spoke of
this release with satisfaction, adding
that these releases appeared to be pro-
crossing at the rate of one every day.
When it was suggested that the length
of the call might lead to conjecture as to
its bearing on Cuba, the Secretary said
such conjecture would be unwarranted.
Sir Julian Pauncefote called again and
saw the President at three O'Clock, this
time also it>was said in his capacity of
Dean of the corps to arrange for the
call of ladies of the diplomatic corps on
the President and Mrs. Mckinley.
The President was photographed at his
desk during the afternoon. This, how
ever, did not interfere with the steady
arrival of callers. Secretary Sherman,
Gage and Alger came during the after
noon. The conference with members of
the cabinet caused some delay among the
other callers. After seeing an Iowa dele
cation the President started at 4:30 for
his afternoon walk. He will attend the
Metropolitan Methodist church services
tomorrow.
