East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-09-24

Located near the entrance of the pa
vilion IT is in a conspicuous place and
the exhibit OF fruit, vegetables, wool,
grain and numerous other products is
arranged to nice advantage.
A miniature railway, the Umatilla
Central, calls attention to The fact that
Pilot Rock wal soon be a terminal
point and while it has jumped the
track occasionally, the road is an OBJ
ject of interest. The Pilot Rock
booth is presided over by Mrs. Eva
Belts, Miss Grace Gillian, while others
who are assisting in the work are
H. G. Casteel, Mervln Gilbert and
Douglas Belts, head of the committee.
Milton -Freewater.
The exhibits from the Milton-Free-
water country are again located ad-
joining and the Milton booth is being
cared for by Mrs. L. l.. Berry and
Mrs. H. NJ Cockburn. while Mrs. Hen
ry Badgero is In charge of the Free
water display. Both exhibits are
nicely arranged and show the resour-
ces of the wonderful section in the
east end. Fruit galore is. the princi-
pal part OF the display, but many fine
specimens of the vegetable family are
also to be seen.
Weston.
Weston has very we'll arranged
and representative display in its booth
at the west end of the line on the
south side. In the background
brick fireplace, made of brick from
the Weston yards has been built by
Clark Nelson, manager of the yard,
and 1t fittingly shows one of the big
Industries of the town. Though the
Weston display is not as extensive as
those of some other towns, 1t is a good
one and bears evidence of the fact
that Weston is upon the Umatilla
county map. whereas Athena is con-
spicuous by its absence. Mr.. and Mrs.
G. w. Proebstel have charge of the
booth
watch Echo Crow
The Echo booth. on the south side
of the pavilion. is adorned with some
OF the products produced in that re-
gion while a number of drawings by
D. w. Bowman are also exhibited.
Thus far the exhibit is not an extern
sive one, but more things are coming
and it is promised that the booth will
improve with age. The Echo exhibit
is being cared for by E. H. Brown and
Richard Jones.
VIII Show Project.
This morning active work was COM
r1enced upon the arrangement of an
exhibit for Hermiston that may prove
one of the prize winners. Owing to
~. n1,f HI
avoidable the booth was not gotten in
shape for the opening day, but this
afternoon the little irrigation city will
be represented in an unique way.
The east Umatilla irrigation project
is being displayed in miniature with
in the booth. The Cold Springs dam
and reservoir. the feed canals and the
distributing system are all shown with
water running through them. The
Hermiston booth is being arranged by
e. P. Dodd and ]. H. Strohm.
The County Displays.
On the elevation at the east end of
the pavilion the Umatilla and Nor
row county exhibits are located and
are among the big things in the show.
S. II. Forshaw and H. z. Davidson
are in charge of the Umatilla county
display and 1t is well arranged with
big horn OF plenty as a center piece.
The Morrow county exhibit is like
wise better than 1t was year ago, and
shows that more attention has been
given the fair by the people of that
county. Eph Askinson, who won high
honors with the highest corn last fall,
again has a fine display of that pro-
duct and will doubtless carry off a
prize, though he has competition from
the Pilot Rock country.
In the Livestock Ward.
Today the livestock pavilion has
been completed and those who enjoy |
good cattle, sheep and horses. not to |
mention poultry, can find It there.
With his big herd of Shorthorns, W. |
o. Minor has show OF his own
along the south side OF the annex and |
the big, blocky built bulls and cows !
have been the admiration OF many a |
stockman today. The herd is the same |
one Mr.. Minor exhibited at the state |
fair in Salem where he swept the |
field, nearly every animal entered |
winning the highest honors in its
class.
BY coming here instead OF particle
pating in the fair at North Yakima,
Mr.. Minor displayed much local pat
riotism because of the fact that heavy |
prizes are hung up there, practically |
insuring him 5000, whereas the eco
nomical policy of the Oregon legis-
as regards eastern Oregon |
fairs at least, made large rewards inn
possible.
