THE COMING FAIR.
Notes Concerning the Meeting to BE
Held October 18th to 18TH

In an interview with j. o. Mack, Sec
retary of the Eastern Oregon District
Agricultural Society, he stated that all
concerned are doing everything in their
power to make the meeting a grand sue
cess.
The collections of fancy work, art.
produce, etc.. will be on exhibition in
the o. N. G. armory, while all live
stock will be exhibited at the usual
places on the grounds
A select musical program will be rem
dered each evening by Birgfeld's orches-
ira, admission to the armory being 25
cents, while to the grounds gentlemen
will pay so cents, ladies going free.
For one, and possibly two days, tow
ard the end of the fair week the stores
will close during the afternoon and the
band will be engaged to play at the
grounds.
Mr.. Mack leaves for Salem in day or
two, and there is mo doubt that he will
arrange with a number of race horse
men, who are at present attending the
state fatr. to bring up their stock so that
the speed program will be larger than
ever before.
Mr.. Mack's headquarters are at the
Office of Mr.. Thos. Hudson, where he
can be found at any time, and while he
is absent j. NJ. Patterson will attend to
all business connected with the meeting.
Everyone should endeavor to attend
the fair, as its success depend a great
deal upon the interest the general pub
lie take IN it. 1t will be well worth
seeing. and for that reason no one can
have plausible excuse for staying
away.

THE lynching of JOSEPH MCCOY at
Alexandria, Va, April 23d was one of
the most dastardly crimes in the histo-
nv of this state, and could not have
taken place without the connivance Of
those sworn to act otherwise.
Mayor THOMPSON with hand uplifted
swore to recognize the civil and poll
lical equality of all men before the
law and to see to it that the laws of the
commonwealth of Virginia and those
Of the United States are faithfully exc
cuted. And yet there has been no de-
NAL of the allegation that he deliber
atelv released the lynchers ut the de-
mand Of the mob.
Is the Mayor guilty of perjury ? Did
he not swear to do the very thinG
which he boldly declares he did not

Mr.. Editor,
We are glad of the opportunity to
write little more news of our vicini-

there will be greater demand for the
paper in the near future; as it is one
that should be in every family.
On the Bird Sunday ult., the vacant

The evident intention of the BRYAN
leaders to reaffirm their allegiance to
the Chicago Free Silver Platform by
having a resolution to that effect pass
ed insthe state convention has created
CONSERVATION in the ranks of the gold
wing of that party.
If this course is pursued, 1t wiz
cause them TO either nominate tick

Mr.. CLEvELAND's speech in New

ably towards the plan. Many such OPP
portunities viii present within the next
few months. The Record Union is
gratified at the success that has thus
far afforded the movement, in the in
auguration of which it played part.
The press of the State generally has
many of our contemporaries placed the
Record Union petitions in their Off
ces for signatures, and others engaged
the personal services of their managers
and editors in circulating the petitions
among the people. All such have the
proud satisfaction of knowing that their
have not thus far been in vain, and
that there is the strongest of probabili-
ties that at a reasonably early date
they will see the final results of their
unselfsh endeavors in the construction
of the much needed highway by order
of the Federal Government.
The thanks of the people are due to
Mr.. DE Vries for his prompt and vigor-
Gus seconding of the movement, and
for his unsolicited pledge to do all that
can be done honorably to carry it
through to successful and early accom-
pliShment.
