such crowd in Lewiston as will be

mobile tour of eastern washington
cities. Everywhere people wanted to
know about our fair this year, which
seems to have grown popular with all
classes. They asked all manner of
questions, about rates, accommoda-

be, how the exhibits will compare with
other years, the condition of the track
and whether the fast horses are COM
ing. 1t is possible this year to answer
all these questions favorably, for the
fair will be better in every particular
than ever before Everywhere the peo-
pie respond by saying they will come.
A large number will be down from
| Spokane, they are coming from all
points in the Palouse country, many
will be here from Walla Walla, Waits
burg and Pomeroy, through which
points we came, and I found people in
Pendleton who are coming 1t will be
a great week for Lewiston If the
weather continues fine. BY all means
persuade every homekeeper in Lewis
ton to take care of one or more Of
these visitors. We must do it."
