CHARLESTON. Wash, October. II.
Charleston is ready for the big Lew
iston- Charleston Inter- State Fair which
opened up today and the city has some
what OF a holiday appearance. Many
of the business houses are decorated
with purple. yellow and white. the fair
associations colors and the streets are
already lined with vehicles and pedes-
trians-presenting very lively APP
pearance. A great many Of the visit
ors are seeking accommodations on
this side of the river and as result
the hotels, lodging and boarding houses |
are brim full. Many citizens have
taken in the strangers as their guests
and this means that the people attend |
ing the fair will find better accommo- |
dations this season than In former
years. The ladies of the Christian |
church went down to the fair grounds
last week and are now ready to feed
the inner man, as they have large
dining hall, well-equipped and also a
lunch counter. But the Presbyterian
ladies' when Fridays showers hove in
sight, decided to give up the idea Of
having lunch counter at the fair. This
will be disappointment to many Of
| their friends, who, remembering the
excellent spread given by them last
year. had expected a repetition of It
| this season. Sunday was not much OF
| a day of rest over this way, great

ting exhibits and displays down to the
fair grounds, while others were drawn
thither by curiosity. When Old Sol.
came out this morning. the hopes OF
everyone were raised quite materially
and now big, fair is assured ana the
crowds will certainly be recordbreak-
ere.
