THE WESTERN
CARNIVAL co.
WITH THEIR ARMY OF ARTISTS.
Over 200 People, A City Of
Tents and Fun for
Everybody.

Henry Wax, chairman of the
street fair committee, returned
from Seattle Tuesday where he
closed contract with the Western
Carnival Company to furnish at
fractions for the street fair Sept.
30 to Oct. 3rd. This will be an
entirely new feature for Grange
vile and something that most OF
our people have never seen. They
claim to carry over 200 people and
enough tents to fill the whole of
Main street. There will be ferris
wheels, glass blowers, plantation
minstrels, in fact grand aggrega-
tion of attractions that will rival
modern circus and furnish enter
tainment and amusement for all
kinds and classes Of people from
the small boy to the gray haired
grand father.
The committee is carefully ar
ranging every detail necessary to
the complete. success of the fair
and with good weather no one will
lack for entertainment pleasant
and profitable. Large number of
letters are being received daily and
everything indicates much larger
exhibit of stock and farm produces
than ever before.

Has Been Asleep.

A. +. Parker has been. timber
cruising for some weeks past in the
Craigs mountain country, and has
come to the conclusion that he has
been asleep during his % years
residence in old Idaho county, and
is just waking up to the fact that
there is an immense scope of coun-
try outside of Camas Prairie.
Where he expected to find plenty
of vacant timber lands he found a
well settled community engaged in
farming, stockraising and other in
dustries, and well titled farms CIV
ing employment to threshing ma
chimes, hay presses and other har-
vest machinery. At Westlake
there is 20-barrel per day flour
mill, which is running steadily on
grain raised or Craigs mountain
and contiguous country, and when
the railroad is built to Westlake
Mr.. Parker is of the opinion that
that section will furnish the great
bulk of the timothy hay grown on
the Pacific coast.
He found a few good quarter Sec
tions Of vacant land, and is kept
busy locating settlers over there.
