BIG PAVILION Scene OF ACTIVITY

Though it is nearly week yet be
fore the opening night of the fruit
fair. Superintendent Ballou is rushing
the work of decorating the huge pa
vilion as fast as human hands car
work. A dozen nimble-fngered young
ladies up to their ears in grains and
| grasses were busy today weaving the
stems into fantastic shapes to be used
in the decorations, and 1.-the young
men who can scale ladders with ease
were busy lacking up row after row
of evergreens in the overhead decor

Merchants and exhibitors are start
ing already on their booths some be-
ing so far completed as to be ready
for the paper and paint man. One
of the unique and handsome booths
again this year will be that Of the
DaviS-Kaser company. A cOzy little
four-room cottage furnished with all
the elegant things that delight the
feminine heart in the way of house
furnishings will be this firms display
again this year. The carpenter work
on the cottage was nearly completed
today and paper hangers and painters
will put the finishing touches on in
a day or so. The work of furnishing
the house will be left to the hands Of
experienced statesmen in the store.
The mammoth fruit and vegetable
display Of the Walla Whlla Produce
company will be located Immediately
in front of the main entrance and will
easily be one of the main attractions
at the fair. The firm is busy now
gathering the exhibit, which will con-
sist of every conceivable variety Of
fruit and vegetables grown in the
Walla Walla valley. The stands and
tables on which the display will be
made were erected yesterday.
One of the amusing features Of the
fair this year is expected to be 81

all his famous sons and daughters In
attendance to wait On customers. The
booth in which the store will be con-
Quoted was being erected today.
Work on the band stand has SO far

The most conspicuous thing on
Whitman campus this morning was
the white figure swinging in the wind
from the electric light wires in front
Of the Memorial building. Closer in
spection revealed the fact that it was
covered with lettering. On the front
is printed Price, Deserter" and the
back bears the inscription price, OF
Oxford via Moscow" A reporter
Of the Statesman noticed a crowd Of
students together in front of the steps
excitedly talking about he shadowy
representative of the absent Mr.. Price.
One of the prominent students on be-
ing interviewed said: yes, we hung
old Price last night. When he came
through here last week for a day b.
fore leaving us to go to the university
of Idaho we promised to dismiss him
cordially, but he got away too soon.
He left one of his garments only and
we have elevated it so he will not be
forgotten. The fellows recognize the
right of a student to go anywhere he
pleases. but the circumstances under
which Price left us make it a regular
desertion. He thinks he has a cinch
| in the Rhodes scholarship at Moscow
and so has cut us cold right now
when We need him. He is good man
but ought not to have left us now

element about the campus last night.
The cads had a time. It was voted
that one Of the new Spokane lads

door was visited about 8 o'clock by a

THAT ST. LOUIS
FAIR BUILDING

Editor Advertiser: Probably every
intelligent citizen of this Territory
would feel proud either to see a fine
Hawaiian building at the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition, or to know that
Hawaii was eminently represented
there by such a structure. Even if Ha-
wall merely had a handful of kiawe
beans to exhibit, which, as compared
to the products and manufactures of
almost every other State or Territory
would be a fair comparison, still we
would feel proud II our building and
the patriotism of our citizens which in
spired the erection of the structure.
The question however is as to the ex-
pediency: as to whether we can afford
to expend 100000 for a building there
commensurate with our pride and
patriotism.
| If the government has the means ard
it is not imperatively needed at home
it might be advisab BILE to erect the
building both to crafty our pride and
as an advertisement for the Territory.
| If the parents, the heads of homes
on the Islands, were consulted it is
more than likely they would unan-
imously state that the multiplying of
school facilities at home is infinitely
more imperative than the spending of
such sum abroad. Were they con-
suited they would tell of the fearfully
inadequate capacity of our schools for
the number of children desiring to OBJ
tain an education. OF the turning
away of many for lack of school room;

Lord Lonsdale is making his first
visit to the United States since 1888.
Two years before that he made a VEN
turesome expedition to the Arctic re-
gions with Sir James Reed, and on
their return the party landed in what
is now the world-famed Klondike dis
trict. The party came overland, and
during the progress of this tour, on
June Z, 1886, Lord Lonsdale discovered
that gold awaited the miner in that
region.
At the time that gallant General Gus
ter and his Seventh cavalry were push
ing into the Little Big Horn to give
battle to the hostile Indians, Lord
Lonsdale and other Englishmen were
roughing it in the region between the
Big Horn and Canada

Indians which had been left behind

in the campaign, but we heard Of the
massacre shortly after it was done.
