District Court
We desire 10 thank the dstrlc
court for the courtesy shown the fal
by adjournng for three hours open
Ing day that the officers Of the court
many attorneys, witnesses, veniremer
and other interested ones, might as
sist the far by their presence.
County Court.
The county officers have done al
that they could to make the fair q
success and we extend to them oul
thanks, more especially the coun.
ty court, Judge Gilliland, Com.
missioner Walker and Commissioner
Lee. We can positively state at this
point that II was their official action
that made possible the fair, to them
we therefore present our cOngratula-
tions and assure them that their con-
fidence has not been imposed upon
but that we have carried out their
wishes to n glorious and successful
Issue, which we feel they are proud
TO acknowledge and which we feel
sure will justify them in continued
endeavor to promote third district
fairs.
City Officers.
The city council, mayor and other
officers Of the city OF Pendleton are
to be credited with the success OF our
fair. Their assistance has been ask
ed for in many instances and never
refused, but gladly granted. It is not
necessary to specify the several and
various acts that have aided or made
possible our fair in it's present loca-
ton, but. this we can say, that had
they refused us any or all, we could
not have made any kind Of success.
Therefore to them. one and all, and
Ia the several committees that have
assisted in this good work we give
you our thanks and assure you that
we value highly the courteses shown
where much must be asked and so
little given in return.
The people Of Umatilla county are
10 be commended for their interest
taken In the third district fair, but
the people OF Morrow county are TO
be especially so commended. for they
have a long distance TO travel and
are always far away from the influ-
ence OF the fair board and are thus
deprived of much advantage. The |
showing made by Morrow county was
most complimentary to them and the !
promise OF future efforts worthy of
them for they unite a keen concep
ton with untlring zeal. This spells
success TO them we extend our
hearty congratulations.
And then, again, it is to the many .
individual exhibitors to whom our
thanks are due. For do they not
come from every point and part OF
this great district so that when the
premiums are awarded we find that
they are distributed almost equally
from north to south, from east TO
west. stop and think! This district
is lj0 miles long and 100 miles wide
a territory of great size. slightly de-
veloped but Of great prospect as will
be shown by the fairs to be. Let us.
therefore, congratulate them and
ask them to begin now preparations
for the fair of 1909.
The stock show was a grand sue
cess under the able management of
Thos. Thompson, who served the fair
without charge. using his best en-
deavors to contribute to the end de-
sired. This is another evidence OF
the spirit necessary to make good
fairs and here again we extend our
sincere thanks
There were entered in this depart
ment but II entries for the exhibit of
1907. While there were 152 this year.
This increase shows the interest that
Is growing in the district for good
fairs. Let US hope that the same in
crease will be made In the fair OF
next year
The art department was under the
care Of Mrs. Frank Frazier, whose
ability and good management was so
evident and who was sup
ported and assisted in this grand
achievement by Mrs. Laura Nash,
Mrs. Brock and Mrs w. r. Ellis,
whose combined labors produced the
artistic triumph as shown IN the eX-
hibt room set apart for art work of
all kinds. And to all of these and
others who have assisted we give our
most hearty thanks.
II takes work. hard work, to pre-
pare the art room and this Is the
secret of the triumph scored by them. /.
May they never forget that the peo-
pie of the third district are under
great obligations to them.
Judge stephen \. Lowell chairman

rious daily programs and selected the

welcome service required than that of
