manner. Prizes will be awarded at the
close of the week to those who, in the
opinion of the judges, have entered the
most difficult and well-executed pieces
of fancy work.
One of the exhibits of more than
passing interest is that of the grains
and grasses grown in Alberta, Canada,
and which was sent down by the
chamber of commerce of Okotoks.
Grains and grasses of all kinds are
shown in the best manner possible,
causing many to make inquiries con-
cerning the resources Of the country
from which such magnificent products
are sent.
Considerable rivalry between Milton
and F'reewater has resulted in both
cities making elaborate exhibits of
fruits, grains, grasses and other pro-
ducts, Milton being on one side Of the
pavilion and Freewater on the oppo-
site side. Oregonians who were in the
city yesterday took either one side or
the other, and ribbons bearing the
words "Freewater'' and Milton" were
much in evidence. A prize will prob
ably be given at the close of the week
for the Test Oregon exhibit.

He Wouldn't Pay
For His Own Joke

Because he wouldn't pay the price Of
his own practical joke, John Doe,
otherwise known as Leo N. Hart,
was brought in to the city jail
this morning charged with disorderly
conduct.
Hart and some of his companions
had been drinking last night and one
of them became so heavily tanked he
was not able to navigate in anything
resembling the way the crow flies. His
path was more winding than one OF
Walla walla's fayorite streets.
Seeing his friend in this condition,
Hart told him he had better go homa
in cab, and the man consented. Hart
went to call the cab but instead Of so
doing rang up the Mcbride stables and
called the ambulance.
His friend was not so drunk. how
ever that he did not know the diff
ference between an ambulance and
cab and he refused to ride in 1t. The
driver wanted the pay for the ambu-
lance. he didn't care who used 1t. Con-
seuuently row ensued and Hart was
taken to headquarters for disorderly
conduct It Is not chronicled what be-
anne OF the friend.

WORLD MEETING
FOR GOOD ROADS

PARIS, Oct. 13-Authorities on
highway improvement from all over
the world are today the guests of the
French government, preliminary to the
opening tomorrow of the international
good roads congress America is rep
resented by Logan w. Page, director
of public roads of the United States
department of agriculture; Colonel
Charles S. Brimwell, of the United
States corps of engineers, and Clifford
Richardson, an eminent chemist of
New York These men were personally
appointed by President Roosevelt, who
has manifested great interest in the
congress. President Fallieres will re-
ceive the delegates.
The congress is accompanied by an
exhibition of maps and plans as well
as information concerning the con-
struction and maintenance of roads,
necessary implements and machinery
and examples of various forms OF
wheels, with their effects upon the
highways. In no country could more
extensive information on these points
be s~cured than in France, where the
amount of motor traffic of all kinds
has resulted in the rapid deterioration
of some of the best highways in Eu-
rope. The largely increased expendi-
ture occasioned b the new traffic has,
in some, instances, led to the proposal
that a special tax should be imposed
upon motor vehicles for the mainte-
nance of the roads, a suggestion op-
posed in other quarters on the ground
that it would hamper the. development
of an industry in which France is eHn-
inent. Probably the congress will be
asked to discuss, if not to decide, the
question whether it is possible to
adapt the nacadamized type of road
to the exacting requirements of motor
traffic. M. Ballif president of the
Touring Club de France, contends
that stone pavement, which would
last from II to- II years would only
cost $1,675 per kilometre annually,
while macadam. which would not last
more than a dozen years, would cost
$2500
In connection with the congress eX-
cursions in motor cars will be made
to the country about Paris, and even
to Nice. The preliminary reports have
been written in French English and
German. Many reports have been
received from English, German, Aus
trian, Belgium, Dutch, italian, Swiss,
and Portuguese engineers and experts.
The questions to be discussed have
been classified under the two general
heads of construction and maintenance
and traffic and working.

Good Concert at Pavilion
By Cavalry Band Last Night

A small but appreciative; audience
was in attendance at the county fair
yesterday evening, and enjoyed the
concert given by the Fourteenth Cav
airy band and the numbers given by
the city's leading vocalists. A pleasant
feature of the evening was the intro
duction to the people of the new band

ience over last year.
The concert by the Fourteenth Cav

encore after encore was called for. OF

The booths in the pavilion this year
are of more varied and artistic de-
sign than ever before, the merchants
having determined to make a good

and exhibits are something far above
the ordinary, showing that consider
able time and expenses had been put
forth by local business men to keep up
their end of the fair.
Among the leading booths, which are
attracting the greater part of public
attention, is that of the "Snow Drift"
flour, located near the entrance to

representing the world, is suspended
above a veritable sea of Snow Drift
flour, small sample sacks being used
to carry out the artistic effect The pill
lars upon which the roof of the booth
is held are made of small sacks of the
flour, wrapped with bunting.

their space has been fitted up as rest

forming a pretty picture and the ne
cessity and convenience of such
booth was shown yesterday by the
many weary ones who took advantage
of the invitation to rest beneath the
canopy of red and yellow foliage.
OF all the unique displays in the
hall, perhaps that of the Walla Wafia
Paper & Stationery company takes the
lead. The booth has been converted
into little log cabin, built entirely OF
rolls of wrapping paper, with en-
velopes utilized as shingles for the
roofing. Inside are exhibits OF all
kinds Of the latest stationery ana
