struct!on to traffic. lhe executive
committee Of the fair association Is
anxious that every effort be made to
have the city put on agala appearance

suggest that houses be decorated with
bunting and the streets lined with
small fir trees. They would like to
have every business place and house
show some indication that the fair is
being held at Hood River so tat Wis
itors here at that time will go away
with pleasant impression of the
great interest taken here III the grow
ing OF tlult.
The exhibition building will be sc
much larger this year than ever before
that it will allow of a display Of 400
boxes of fruit and do away with most
of the plate exhibits, which it ha.
heretofore been necessary to make nW-
ing to lack of room.
This feature it is thought will MAXI
the fair far more attractive and better
than it has ever been and give "a fal
