INDICATIONS POINT To
A BIG STATE FAIR
President Jack Splawn Out After Ex-
hibits and Accusing Enthusiasm
at the Same Time.
HEAD

As the wear rolls around and the time
approaches for the states great annual
fair, the past twelve months have plain
w shown an increase in the country's
resourcefulness, and more prosperous
year than the one. last past, was never
before eclipsed in point of expectancy
for what forebodes of an unusually
splendid exhibition at the near at hand

stays of the fair rests in the personnel
of its commission. Three men like \.

the show line. and thereby make the
visitors feel that they got all that was
coming" Well, this is what is going to
transpire next September The fair will
be Il hummer and the best vet held,
which it naturally should be in order
to keep abreast with the times. Presi-
dent Jack Splawn has just returned
from trip into eastern Washington and
the Palouse country. He visited Day
ton, ColfaX, Walla Walla, Spokane and
other points. Wherever he stopped the
chief topic of conversation that he in
dulged in was the near approaching
state fair at North Yakima. He talked
exhibits. He secured exhibits. He
talked along special lines of exhibits,
such as fine bred horses, and at Spokane
he landed the Galbraith Bros superb
stable of draft, coach and hack horses,
some of the finest in the world. At
Pullman he secured the fine horses of
Gray. among which there are many blue
ribbons. President Splawn also arrang-
ed for big excursion from Walla Walla

The Fire Department Sore.

The fire department is a little bit sore
and there is considerable murinuring
among the boys over the recent action
of the city council in refusing to pay
the boys for turning out to the blaze in
the alley to the rear of the Mason block
two or three weeks ago. The council
claims it was a false alarm but the fire
boys and those who saw it claim there
was sufficient blaze there to have made
it interesting for the city had it not
been squelched promptly. A strong wind
was blowing at the time and the heap
of rubbish made blaze that entirely
consumed it.
Some of the boys feel that the proper
thing for them to do is to resign, while
others have advocated go easy" policy
in the belief that it is not the intent of
the council to turn them down cold, and
that when all the facts are presented
they will get their just dues.
1t can be truthfully said there is not
in the state of Washington better vol
untcer fire department and its record
for years past has proven that they have
been able to cope with the frey iend at
times when the odds were greatly
against them. The city fathers as well
as the citizens can afford to be gener-
Gus to this organization upon which so
much depends.

POPULAR NORTH BEACH.

Excursion steamer I. J. Potter goes
into service June II.
Those who are planning their vacation
this year will be interested in knowing
that the popular excursion steamer, the
I. J. Potter-queen of river boats-goes
into service June az, and that she will
leave Portland, during the season, every
day from Tuesday until Saturday inclu-
sive. To see the beauties of the pictures
que and mighty Columbia from the decks
OF the Potter is treat never to be for
gotten. For speed and grace nothing in
river or lake service in the entire west
equals this side-wheeled beauty. Five
hours from Portland aud one from
Astoria, through the famous fishing
waters of the Columbia, past scores of
salmon traps and nets and as many white
winged fish boats, lands the passengers at
llwaco, where close connection is male
for beach points with trains of the Ilwaco
Railway & Navigation Company, whose
cars stand on the wharf awaiting the
steamer. The beach is twenty-seven
miles long, two hundred yards wide at
low tide, aud so hard that carriage wheels
scarcely leave a mark. 1t is an ideal
place for driving, riding, wheeling or
walking, and the surf bathing is unsur-
passable. The excellent hotels and
boarding houses provide good accom-
modations at prices ranging from one
dollar to three dollars per day.
The round trip rate from Portland to
Astoria is S. so; to Ocean Beach points
~ 90, good until October 18th. On
Saturdays, during July and August, round
trip tickets are sold to beach points at
$3.50, good for return leaving the beach
the following Sunday evening.

about the delightful resorts of the Valley
of the Columbia River. This can be
