LESSONS OF TIE FAIR.

The horticulturists of Klickitat county, Washing
Every section of that prosperous valley was repre-
sented, and the fruit display pronounced the best
ever made in the county. After paying expenses
the association has small balance in the treasury
The fair will be feature of every harvest season in
the future Arrangements are being made for en-
larging the field and it is expected that the horti
cultural exhibit will develop into real county fair
for the display of all farm products.
Many important lessons are taught in the county
fair exhibitions says the Post -Inteigencer. The
people come together and compare notes on growing
and marketing farm products They bring the best
|of tree and vine for exhibition purposes. Everyone
expects to get ribbon indicating some class of
premium. A plate of rich red apples often causes
the farmer with no orchard to resolve on planting
trees nice display of walnuts from some well
known farm often removes all doubts about growing
nuts and brings new thoughts into the minds of
farm owners
The social features of the county fair add much
to the pleasure of county meetings. The people liv
ing in an agricultural community should become
in friendly way There is more in life
than mere dollars and cents. The rural population
has right to expect some pleasure from surround.
ing farms and gardens When the social spirit is
forgotten the interest in a community drops to the
par of commercialsm. The fair ground is the place
where all can meet on social level and participate
in the harvest festivities with equal enjoyment
The ounty fair is a public educator. 1t assists
in the introduction Of new products. Success with
a certain crop causes others to plant seed and at
tempt its cultivation In this manner the diversi.
fed crops Of field, garden and orchard may be in
troduced in community. There is always room for
more people to engage in growing fruits and plants
Increasing the area devoted to any particular crop
naturally enlarges the field for markets. With only
small tract given up to one fruit the grower must
seek market. When many acres are planted to the
same crop, the market seeks the grower.

Our democratic friends may be pardoned for re-
senting Secretary Hays statement that 'nothing
but disaster could follow the reversal of the policies
to which are indebted for the prosperity of the
last few years." but it is nothing more or less than
what Mr.. Hay called "simple fact" American
prosperity since 1896 has rested so far as govern
ment is concerned, upon the American policy of pro-
lection to its industries and the resoute maintenance
of the gold standard, and to neither of these has
the democracy, party, contributed anything but
pen or veiled hostility There are times when the
truth however unpleasing to some, must be spoken
without fear or regard for party susceptbties and
the present is one of them

Parker should visit the second city of the country
and reveal to his admirers in the west his nexhaus
BILE stores of his knowledge and eoquence. But the
democratic candidate prefers to express his views
nearer home. When he opened his campaign he was
firm in the that he could not travel over

himself that he must pay more attention to the re-
quests of the east for speeches Yet he is in dan

PORT ARTHUR.


Oninisosts news comes from Port Arthuk If tie
privse letter reported from Shanghai is true, that
ktress in desperate plight and upon the verge OF
conquest or surrender, says the New York Tribune
That the letter is true we may well believe. OF
course there have hitherto been many other reports
that the place was about to fall which have proved
untrue But it is obvious that each succeeding one
Is TkeIer to be true than its predecessor. No for
sres can hold out forever against combined storm
and famine Sebastopol fell in time, and Port Ar
shnr is hardly Sebastopol For weeks the japanese
have been raking the place with their artillery, and
the Russian fire in reply has been growing weaker
and weaker The end must come at some time, and it
seems reasonable to suppose that it is now close at
land
Hope of raising the siege is, of course, quite
dead There never was any real hope of that being
done by the Baltic fleet, and the Russians them
salxes must now realize the fact AT one time there
was some hopes of aid from General Kuropatkin
ahough even that slight after the battle of
Mans Shan But that hope, too, is dead 1t has been
killed, either by the prowess of Oyama or by the
Numbering of Alexieff and Jilinsky. Kuropatkin

against stupidity-such as Alexeff's. A high typel
Of va0r has been shown by General Stoesse and his
comrades m their gallant defense of the place Those
70 inclined may consider which is the more admir- |
able the stubborn valor which holds out to the end
and dies In the last ditch, or the discretion which
seeks terms when longer resistance is seen to be vain
The general judgment of the world will be that the
defenders of Port Arthur have played heroic
part
The effect of the fall of the place upon the gen.
sral fortunes of the war will not be marked 1t his
been accepted as foregone conclusion and has been
hIy discounted. The fighting strength of the Rus
MANS in the field will not be diminished That of the
Japanese may be somewhat increased after time.
How many men they have investing Port Arthur the
world does not know 1t must be some scores of
thousands These will be released by the fall of the
place for service against Kuropatkin. But we as
sumo they are much worn out with long and ardu-
aus campaigning and will scarcely be in condition to

and recuperation In time however, they will be
under 0yama's banners The moral effect of the
taking Of Port Arthur will be considerable, though
hss than it would have been at an earlier date Best
Of ALI perhaps will be the cessation of the dreadful
slaughter which has long been going on around the
place. How many lives have there been lost We 10

MAJOR WOOD TO INSPECT TONIGHT
Company A will Drill for Commander in Turner
Hall.

Company A will be called upon to
pass under the critical eye of Major
F.. B. Wood of Austin tonight in
regular semi annual inspection. Major
Wood is battalion commander in the
state militia. The inspection will be
in Turner hall.
On account of the new infantry drill
regulations which were received but a
few weeks ago there has been much for
the boys to study up and practice
previous to the inspection and they
have been hard at work since the
Instructions came.
In spite of this handicap Captain
John Buschers thinks the local boys
will make a good showing and is not
worrying about the outcome.
At the last inspection held in April
by Major Gerlach of the regular army
Company A made an excellent show
ing. The markings have just recently
been made public and show the local
organization third in the regiment and
eleventh in the brigade. It's standing
was 9l.24, but fraction below. the best
standing in the Second regiment.
