HoQUIAM PLANS BIG FAIR.

HoQUIANI, Sept. 26.--Hoquiam is to
have a merchants fair and industrial
exposition to be held from the 10th To
the 10th Of October in the Auditorium
recently built by loctl parties.
This exposition will be the first one
of its kind ever held on Grays Harbol
and should it prove success the pro-
moters have figured on the fair will be
made special feature each season, The
fair will be held under the auspices OF
the Auditorium association and should
there be any proceeds, the same will 60
towards the maintaining of the audi
torium. Located within the heart of the
city, this building is perhaps one of the
best in the southwest for such an expo
sition. Its large floor space and roomy
galleries make it an ideal building for
the displaying of exhibits.
The features Of the exposition win be
the displaying of the agricultural pro,
ducts of Chehalis county. For many
years it has been claimed that the finest
fruits and vegetables to be raised in the
state have been cultivated in Chehalis
county and this fair will give the farm
ers an excellent opportunity to display
their prize crops. Another feature will
be the poultry show, the dog show and
pure food display.

Parker, president OF the American Bar

the enactment of hastily constructed

Therein was to be found the sole basis
for the assumption that the federal gov.
eminent had it possessed the power
would have done better than the states
THAT assumption, in the light Of the
circumstances, presents but a futile ar
gnnent for taking away any authority
now enjoyed by the states to confer il
upon the national government
