shift. At the start, several years ago,
it was an imitation of Spokanes Fruit

copy ever since. This last was the
poorest ever held. The exhibits were
few and very indifferently displayed.
It's about time Walla Walla was do
ing away with the graft and getting in
line with a first class agricultural
and livestock show, with the latter a
strong feature. Such an exhibition
would be a great success and be OF
immense value to that section.
Why, little Wenatchee valley had

away in the shade. Fine grounds, con-
veniently located, horticultural, agri-
cultural, livestock and poultry dis

construction of canal from the Tie
tan, which would cover an immense
body of very fine land. The govern
ment would be able to get it's money
back in few years from the sale of
lands to settlers, under this canal.
What the farmers want is to see
the irrigation law administered for
the greatest benefit to all, and in
order that it shall not become con
,trolled, and the appropriation squand-
cred by politicians, etc., the farmers
should ally themselves with the State
Irrigation Association, taking an ac-
tive interest in all that is being done.
Something will have to be done
about the Walla Walla fair or it will
die of the dry rot. We don't under
stand why the people of that section,
who boast Justify of their varied agri-
cultural resources. should be content
to stub along with such weak make
