Rushing Work
At Fair Grounds

AS the preliminary addition to the
big streamer and a large flag were at
tached to the pole on the pavilion lhis
morning and will set off the big build
ing with an air of Importance. The
streamer which is of white silk, bear
ing the words, "Walla Walla County
Fair Association is about II feet in
length, and three feet in width at the
large end. The flag is woolen emblem
of the United States, and the combina-
tion formed by the two makes an i'm
posing picture as they furl and unfurl
in the autumn breeze.
Carpenters started active work in
the pavilion this morning, getting the
many booths ready for occupancy, and
decorators are also busily engaged in
putting the finishing touches on the
big pavilion. The interior has been ar
tistically painted adding much to the
general appearance, and giving ;s
touch of splendor to the scene. The
stage and bandstand has been COM
pleted, and beautifully finished in rich
colors, with myriads of incandescent
lights around the dome, and for the
footlights. On the sounding board has
been painted a large red, white, and
blue shield. and special curtain. is
now being made.
In the manufacturing building less
attention will be paid to the decora-
tions, except in the various booths,
which are being fitted up in elegant
style. For variety and number, the
booths of merchants will this year be
unique and attractive features are
promised.
Grounds Have Been Rolled.
The grounds of the association have
been under a steam roller for the past
week, and now are similar to the
pavements of the business district.
With all teams barred from the main
entrance, the dust which was so much
in evidence during previous years,
will be entirely eliminated, and the
safety of pedestrians will be assured
in addition.
The large arc lights. which have
been installed throughout the grounds.
were lighted last night for the first
pearance after nightfall. From the
main entrance to the horse and live
stock stables the lights have been
placed at intervals, furnishing ample
illumination for the comfort and con-
venience of crowds that visit the
grounds in the evening.
Concessions Arriving
A number of booths on the conces-
sion grounds are being put up today,
and within day or so the only .'liv-
ing alligators in the world the wild
girl from Montana who lives on
snakes tails, and other freakish indi-
viduals will be comfortably housed 1t
it expected that by Saturday evening
everything will be ready for the open
ing. though carpenters may be expect
ed to work in the pavilion until Sun
day night.
Live Stock Coming.
In the neighborhood of 40 cars of
live stock and racing animals from all
parts of the northwest will start ar
irving in day or so when the activity
at the fair grounds will be augmented

Taggart and Sullivan.

Tom Taggart and Roger Sullivan,
respectively democratic leaders in In

Mr.. Hearst of improper political prac-
tices and for that matter accused

1t was rejoined that Fred Upham
national republican treasurer at this
end, is a member of the state board of
review, with power to do two things
reduce taxation of rich corporations
and coincidentally fry fat for the re-
publican camps'sn fund; and that

The democrats in y w York were
charged with coupling. with Muir

while the republicas appointed
Treasurer Sheldon straia4 from No.
Wall street Mr.. Taft a. 4 ,ting him
on the recommendation of William
Nelson Cromwell, Standard Oil attor-
ney and counsel for E. H. Hartman
and other trust and railroad men.
The democrats had their Senator
Bailey smirched with Standard Oil;
the republicans had their Senator For
aker likewise smirched.
Summing up, the republicans
charged that improper influences con-
nected with the trusts had become in
terested in the democratic party, and
the democrats alleged that Mr.. Taft
had countenanced Standard Oil attor-
neys for federal judgeships, and that
President Roosevelt had personally
asked that Standard Oil men contrib
ute to his campaign fund in 1904 and
that his present secretary of the
treasury had gotten 100000 from that
source in 1904.
