BIGGEST FAIR
IN NORTHWEST
WALLA WALLA ASSOCIATION
HAS ARRANGED FOR MANY
NEW FEATURES.

If hard work and careful prepara-
tior. can produce results, the county
will be a marvel AT present more
han 25 workmen are engaged in re-
modelling the grandstand and rear
ranging the seats so that it will be
easier for the crowds to see the races.
The track has been put in first
class shape and there is no better
speedway in the northwest than that
of the county fair association. While
the track always has been good, this
year it will be better than ever and if
no records are broken it will not be
the fault of the track
The racing at the fair last year was
good. In fact there has seldom been
better racing in this part Of the coun-
try than that seen here at the fair
last year. But good as it was, the
managers of the fair this year have
some cards up their sleeves which will
they say. eclipse anything of former
years. Faster horses and more of
them are to be here, some of the
eDeediest harness horses on the coast
have been promised for this meet and
there is little doubt but that it will
be the best ever seen in this part of
the country
Special features, such as the relay
20
be inserted in the program. There
will be no lack of interest from first
to last. Every day has been planned
so that there will be something to in
tercst everyone. The fair will be big
ger and better than ever before in
every respect.
New Buildings.
The new exhibit building, when
completed, will be one of the biggest
of it's kind in the state. The new
addition is 1OS by POI feet and is of
the same height as the old building.
It's construction has been planned with
reference to the advantageous display
of the exhibits and everyone is as
sured of good display room.
Increased premiums in every depart
ment will be incentive enough to bring
in the best exhibits which can be pre-
pared and the fruit, grain and vege-
table display will be better than ever
seen in this city. Exhibitors Will have
to depend this year on merit of their
exhibits and not on lack of COMPETE
ton to win the prizes. The assOcia-
ton is assured of larger entries along
this line than they have ever before
had and better and bigger displays
are guaranteed.
The exhibits of stock. poultry etc,
will be larger than those of former
years. Standard bred cattle and pure
blooded poultry is promised for the
fair in generous quantities. The farm
ers living around the city have taker.
a keen interest in the competition this
year and there will be few of them
who have no exhibit of some kind at
the fair next month.
Thousands of dollars will be given
in purses for the races. The premi-
ums for exhibits will be bigger than
ever before. More competitors will ap-
pear in every line and from present
indications. the county fair to be held
here next month will be the biggest
and best of it's kind ever held on the
coast.

ment and gradually rose by reason of his
marked ability until few years ago he

cent trip to Cuba, after the resignation of

TO HOLD MASS MEETING.
Plans to Voice Opposition to the Web.
Der Bill.

Der Bill.
Arrangements have been made by the
Washington branch Of the Personal Liberty
League to hold a mass meeting next Sun
day evening at Masonic Temple in opposi-
ton to the Weber bill and other measures
now before Congress providing for prohibi-
ton in the District of Columbia The
tentative program provides that five-min-
ute speeches will be made by members of
Congress, lawyers, business men, temper
ance men who are opposed to prohibitory
legislation, ministers and others. There
will also be program Of music provided.
In addition to the mass meeting petitions
are being numerously circulated throughout
the District for signatures. It is stated by
the petitioners that there Is no general de-
mand for prohibition here and that at least
two-thirds Of the population Of the District
Is opposed to the proposed legislation" 1t
is also declared that 1.-The use of liquor,
though it may be recognized as an evil, can
be regulated by law, but it cannot be
wiped out by prohibitory enactments, as
prohibition has proven failure wherever
1t has been tried"
At meeting of the executive committee
Of the league last evening at 9Th and G.
streets, Mr.. r. E. Harding, the vice presi-
dent, said.
1.-THE District has long been the stamping
ground for all the fads and fancies that
Representatives can unload. Now that pro-
hibition has proved a failure everywhere
else that it has been tried, the temperance
advocates propose to have them force it on
the defenseless people of the District. Who
can do nothing to prevent 1t. The liquor
people already pay $1,1O0.O0O annually to
the District revenues. If this is wiped out
the inhabitants will have to make 1t up
some other way, and their taxes will con-
sequently be increased Let them remem-
Der that"

performed by the company at the Belasco
under the management Of Mrs. Katie VIII

well known as Carmen" 1t seemed to
please a good-sized audience. Nine Noldi
sang the role of Gilda, and in the caro-
Nome" aria showed a dramatic soprano
Of much f1exibiuty and power. She was
also heard to good advantage in the duet
with the duke and in the well-known quar-
tet in the last act Miss Albright, who
made such a favorable impression as Car
men, did not appear until the fourth act,
but both in her singing and acting she was
abundantly competent and will become
popular with music-loving people In this
city Tom Greene sang the duke with
ease and grace, winning an encore on his
solo in the last act and being effective in
the quartet.
Signor Albert in the title role was all
that could be desired both in singing and
acting, his baritone voice being fully able
to cope with the music Of the part and he
threw into action much force and dramatic
power. The chorus sang in time and tune
and the orchestra was kept well under con-
troll by the baton of Harry Wheaton How
ard.
Yesterday afternoon 1.-THE Chimes of Nor
mandy was given, mostly with local tai
ent in the cast and chorus, the only two
professionals being Mr.. Wallinstadt as the
marquis and Mr.. Ford Lanning as Gas
pard. The Serpolette was Miss Berenice
