grounds were willing to give the
weather bureau man all the back

such a statement. It was awful.
Several new features have been
added to the Agricultural booth,
particularly in the line of dried
fruits. They look well and have
attracted considerable attention.
Still, the cry is for more.
Among the Benton county Wis
itors of the week, we noticed
Ralph 7. Henies, of Philomath,
who was particularly interested
in the Fine Arts exhibit. Still,
nature had some attraction for
him, particularly the pretty sam
piles dressed in white, attending
the various booths.
E. A. Reed, of Alsea, was an
onlooker who put in his time to
good advantage. Mr.. and Mrs.
Martin and Chas. McHenry and
family also registered at the Agri-
cultural booth. Miss Paulina
Kline passed a pleasant day and
enjoyed the novel sights found in
theseveral buildings. Dick Smith
put in what time he could spare
from the trail attractions in study
ing the newest things in the hard
ware and machinery line. Dick
doesn't take much interest in
fashion exhibits, but he said there
was one thing in that line he did
not like, and that was the s'high
collars" :" They were altogether
too numerous in and around the
Fair. We found out afterwards
that the only "high collars were
on the glasses of beer. The dis
pensers of Lager must certainly
be strong temperance advocates,
if not in theory, certainly in prac.
tice, as a person would have te
work long and patiently before
he could gather together enough

Prineville to San Francisco. Geo
Paul and wife were out on Fri

made his mark as teacher in th
Dramatic Art, is nevertheless sti'
student, and the amount c
time he is willing to put in study
ing the hero and william in th
"Gay Paree" show is fair ind
cation of his love for his chose
profession. We certainly wis
him all success in his efforts.
