BEST PRODUCTS FROM THE FAIR
NOW ADoRN ROOMS OCCUPIED
BY COMMERCIAL CLUB AND
PROMOTION BUREAU.

Marked changes are being made in
the appearance of the rooms of the
| Commercial club in the installation OF
the exhibit of grains and preserved
fruits for the display of the promotion
bureau.
! When the exhibits for the fair were
secured many of them were taken with
the proviso that at the close of fair
week they could be turned over to the
promotion bureau for it's permanent
display. This was particularly true OF
! Nez Perce county, for Major Man.
ming, who was in charge of the county
display worked hard to secure per-
mission from all donors to add their
exhibits to the permanent list. In adj
dition to this, he bought much of the
display at the fair personally, later
donating it to the stock of materials
| from which it was intended to arrange
the winters exhibit
| From Idaho county and the Camas
prairie region a large assortment OF
threshed grains was secured, it being
feared that grains still in the head
would be ruined in shipping. Samples
of each of these grains were presented
to the promotion bureau. These have
been placed in sample jars bought es-
pecially for the purpose and are now
being labelled and placed upon the dis
play shelves.

but has, it is understood, been stored
on the other side of the river. 1t Is
expected that portion of this wilI
later be brought to the Commercial
club where 1t will be treated as has
that from Nez Perce county.
In devoting the entire east wall to
the Nez Perce display, a panel effect
has been used in keeping with the di-
visions of the shelves and writing
desks beneath it, These panels are
made by small trusses of wheat and
oat straw, filigree work being filled in
ners with wheat heads the design be-
ing practically a conventionalized feur
de lis.
In these panels, of which there are
six large ones and five small, the
grains of the county have been artisti-
cally arranged, each panel having "a
massed centerpiece of one of the prin-
clpal grains raised, and each be ng or
different design.
The narrower panels, above the
writing desks are with one exception,
devoted to the grasses though in some
cases it has been found necessary to
trim the grass to accommodate 1t to
the space allotted. The central panel,
which is one of the narrow ones, bears
the legent "Nez Perce County," the let
tering being done with the straw OF
oats.
Arranged as it is upon dead black
background, the light yellow of the
straw and the varying greens of the
grasses give a very desirable contrast.

which has been arranged upon that
side of the room.
Beneath the grasses, upon the
Shelves are arranged the tubes of pre-
served fruits, sections being given 10
grapes, peaches, apples, vegetables and
the like Though this exhibit is not as
yet completed the effect of the display
on this side of the room is complete.
The entire west wall has been re-
served for the Asotin county displav.

manner as that from this county. The
