GETTING READY
FOR FRUIT FAIR
COMMITTEES MEET WITH SUCCEN
Exhibit will HSve Larger Space aaa
will BE Placed In CeDter
OfTOWn.

Arrangements that are being made
by exhibitors and officers of the fruit
fair indicaet that more interest is bet
ing taken in the fair this year than
ever before and that it will eclipse all
previous efforts of this kind at Hood
River.
After looking the matter over care.
fully the executive committee of the
Fair association decided to have the
exhibit held in the same place that it
was two years ago and will lprovide a
larger and better space for it than
ever before. The fair building will
be built up against the Davidson
building and extend out to First
street. The selection of the Davidson
lot was agreed on after thinking the
matter over carefully and 1t is thought
that the fair will be far more success
ful and secure great many more I'D
missions by having it placed In G, IL
tral location
IL possible arrangements will he
made with the q. X. u N. Co. to have
daylight trains stopped here for few
minutes during the exhibition in Or
der to allow tourists and passengers
the opportunity of seeing what Hood
River fruit looks like when seen to an
advantage and attractive advertising
matter will also be distributed
Invitations to visit the fair and
cards of admission will be issued to
prominent people thl oughout the
state and it is expected that good
many of those invited will attend.
Officers and committees, who have
the work in hand of soliciting exhib-
its say that they have found wiIlil T.
ness on the part of growers to exhib-
1t, but that 1t has been suggested tl at
they be given season pass, as the
fruit requires good deal of care aud
attention in order to have it make
the best display. This they say nec-
essitates having some one constantly
In attendance and as they are forced
to go in and out of the fair building
frequently, compelling them to pay
admission, makes it considerably
more expensive. They also say that
1t Is necessary to provide a close
watch on their exhibits to keep tht IN
from being depleted by those who
cannot resist the temptation to
"swipe" Hood River fruit, and that
with season pass the matter could
be soon arranged as to keep their ex-
hibits under surveillance without an
additional expense. Tbe Ioatter will
be placed before the executive com
mittee and 1t Ia thought that 1t San
be satisfactorily adjusted
While the premium list committee
has not yet decided the question of
premiums it is expected that the dis
play will be governed very much by
former ones. In order that those who
have not exhibited before may have
some idea of what they will be re-
quired Of them we give below the list
