grand prizes, nine gold medals, six sill

Nicely of Spokane, who was selected
by the commission to come here and
take charge of the agricultural exhibit

erick r. Marvin of Spokane, who was
selected by the commission to act as
press agent. was not only given me
work of press agent, but was also
placed in charge of the agricultural
exhibit
Marvin Was Right There.
TO him should be given much of
the credit for the many gold medals
secured. for he was ready with the
glad hand when the judges came
around and did not fail to work him
self into their good graces. 1t is gen.
eral knowledge of all that the securing
of prizes in a large exhibit like this is
not alone due to the showing of the
materials themselves. but to the way in
which the judges are met by the ex-
hibitors. Mr.. Marvin proved himself
as a result Washington comes away
from the show with grand prizes and
gold medals that surprise many of the
other exhibitors.
The Winners.
The grand prizes were awarded TO
the general display of the state, and to
the collective display of ThurstOn
county, grown and arranged by Mr..
Bush of that place.
