THE STATE FAIR
OPENS NEXT MONDAY

ident and secretary respectively OF the
Washington State Fair, returned last
week from Salem, Ore, where was given
one of the most successful fairs ever
held in that state. Both gentlemen are
loud in their praise of the various fea
lures of the fair, and did some good
missionary work for our own, which
opens next Monday.
The trips of President Splawn and
Secretary Shannon has borne such re-
suits that, in addition to the large num-
Der of breeders already reported as
being booked for space, representing var
ious sections of the northwest, they have
absolute assurance of the following:
Fourteen cars of exhibit stock, con-
sisting of cattle, sheep and swine start
ed from Salem, Ore, yesterday, direct
to Yakima
Thirty cars of exhibit stock and race
horses will start from Portland for the
State Fair next Saturday. and will reach
the grounds in time for opening Monday.
The cattle and other live stock depart
ments at the fair will be superior to
anything yet exhibited in the northwest,
many of the individual animals costing
from $1,000 to $4,000.
The poultry, fruit and vegetable ex-
hibits promise to be far better
than ever before, and the exhibition
halls will be well filled with special mat
tiers of public interest. Exhibits of all
kinds are pouring in from every direc-
ton, and inquiries from various Sec
tions, relating to various features are
keeping an assistant secretary busy.
Arrangements are being perfected for
the accommodation of all corners at rea-
sonable rates, and big increase in hotel
accommodations over last year will be
largely augmented by arrangements
with private families to entertain the
overflow.
