Marion VIII Ask Donation.

On Saturday, October 90, the coun-
ty court of Marion county has invit-
ed the taxpayers and citizens of the
county to meet at the court house in
this city for the purpose of discussing.
the advisability of appropriating a
sufficient sum of money to secure and
maintain an exhibit of the resources
OF the county at the Lewis and Clark
fair at Portland next year.
The court believes that il is n
worthy project, and will result in
much good to the entire county, but
hesitates to appropriate county funds
Tor the purpose until the taxpayers
are consulted. From reports from
various sections of the county there
seems to be an almost unanimous
feeling that an exhibit should be
maintained at the big fair.
The people of Marion county have
never failed to respond literally with
their time and money when the good
OF the county demanded action, and
they will not fail in this instance
Marion county should have the best
county exhibit at the fair, and now
is the time to start to work.-Salem
