STATE FAIR 4 BIG SUCCESS.
Fruit Show Was Best Ever Known in
Observation-Disclosures Never
Rivalled on Coast.

When the gates of the Washington
state fair were closed Saturday night
and the week of events of the grounds
had been concluded, expert exhibi-
ton men who were in the city agreed
that from every standpoint the ex-
position had been complete success.
In attendance, in exhibits, in races
and in general program the state fair
of 1908 stands as the best ever held
on the grounds, and in many depart
ments it excelled anything ever
known in the northwest.
The fruit show was the best ever
seen in the northwest, in size and
quality it was superior to the Lewis
& Clark exposition. The same state
ment is true for the stock and the
chicken departments. In the honey
exhibits there has been nothing to
equal the local work, The races
were the best ever seen on fair
track in the northwest.
The attendance for the week is es-
timated to have been between $4,000
and 1000 people, although all were
not paid admissions. The result will
be that the fair will pay all expenses
this season.
The exhibits were torn down late
Saturday afternoon and North Yaki-
ma was the busiest shipping point in
the northwest during the night.
Many of the exhibits were sent to the
Puyallup and the Spokane fairs,
while the horses continued on their
circuit

large number and the chicken display

large number and the chicken display
is not neglected by any means.
H. II. Collier, superintendent of
the chicken show, declares that near
ly thousand birds were entered in
the competition and that the state
fair has the biggest poultry show in
the west. And the visitors have
much the same belief.
Prof. Carlyle, after judging the
stock department, says that he is not
only surprised and delighted at the
showing of blooded animals, but that
he believes 1t indicates better stock
conditions in the Yakima country in
the future. Much of the stock is be-
ing sold to Yakima breeders and will
be used to improve the breeds here.
The great stock expert is especial
ly pleased over the entries in the cat
tie and horse classes. He says some
of the entries, including those of the
American Carriage Horse class, are
as good as will be seen anywhere in
the west.
The livestock parade at noon
Thursday included about 1000 head
of animals and was a big feature of
the day. 1t was followed by five rae
ing events, which formed the track
program for the day.
Among the exhibits of home man
ufactured articles at the state fair
of more than usual merit is that Of
the Yakima Bindery. The exhibit
consisted of several specimens of
blank books that were really speci-
mems of art, and some loose-leaf de-
vices which the company manufac-
lures. The bindery is deserving If
the patronage of every firm in the
city that believes in leaving its mon
ey at home and at the same time get
ting goods every whit as good and
in many respects better than the
goods obtained elsewhere.

HIGHWAYMAN GETS S64.
Gust Anderson Knocked Down by
Two Men While at Chestnut
and Front Streets.

Slugged, knocked to the sidewalk
and robbed of s64 in the presence of
a dozen witnesses was the experience
of Gust Anderson, Tieton laborer,
about 1880 o'clock Thursday night
while he was standing at the corner
of Chestnut and South Front streets,
in front of the Cosy Corner saloon.
The case was not reported to the
police. but Officer Kelley noticed the
crowd few minutes after the rob-
berry and, after questioning some Of
the men who saw the robbery, got a
few details of the case. He called
other officers but the witnesses could
furnish no clue to the robbers.
Never in the police annals of North
Yakima has there been such a bold
robbery as that of Anderson. He was
standing in the midst of a crowd, I'M
der an arc light.
He had just cashed a check and
had the cash in his hand, ready to
place the money in his pocket. when
two men rushed up to him, hit him
in the face, took away the cash and
made a dash down Chestnut street
to the alley, and then south. Officers
Perry and Storey passed the corner
a couple of minutes later, but they
were not told of the robbery, and it
was not until five minutes later, when
Officer Kelley came along, that 1t was
known to the police.
The officers were much displeased
that the witnesses of the robbery did
not attempt to stop the men. or even
furnish information to the depart
ment. There IL absolutely no clue
that can be worked upon.

Prosecutions.

At a meeting of the city council
Monday evening the chief of police
against draymen in this city operat-
ing without a license and to prose-
cute those violating the ordinance,
which has been much mooted ques-
ton. The move came after an opin-
ion rendered by Councilman Meigs
that the ordinance was valid, and
could be enforced in the right court,
and a plea by Mr.. Aumiller of the
Draymans association asking that
the city enforce the ordinance.
Councilman Meigs was of the opin-
ion that the ordinance was valid and
that better law could not be drawn,
and that while some difficulty had
been experienced in the conviction of
cases arrested under the ordinance,
it could be enforced Mr.. Aumiller,
speaking for the Draymens' associa-
ton, said that at the present time
some of the association wagons were
not complying with the strict letter
of the ordinance, owing to the APP
parent inability of enforcing the
same. He favored taking steps to
compel all draymen to take out a
license.
1t was recommended to enforce the
