The Igorrote village is the latest
attraction booked by Secretary Rob
ert H. Johnson for the county fair,
word having been sent to Robert Cos
grove. secretary of the Spokane In
terstate fair, this morning that the viii
lage could be given space on the
grounds here. There are a large num-
Der of the Savages in the band on eX-
hiibtion at the Falls City fair this
week. and they will all arrive in Wal
la Walla Sunday to erect their tents
and make this city their home for
week. 1t will be remembered that
the Igorotes, made a decided hit at
the Lewis and Clark exposition in
Portland, and were the main interest
feature on the trail In Spokane they
are attracting considerable attention.
and the local association feels that it
will be the star attraction on the con-
cession grounds next week.
Four Dogs Day.
1t was reported this afternoon that
Poundmaster Gates had received an
advance order from the chief of the
tribe for four Walla Walla CANNES
every day during the stay of his peo-
pie in the Garden City, and people who
visit the village will be treated to the
pleasure of witnessing a number of
bowling brutes hit on the head with
an antique mallet, thrown into the
official pot, and formally masticated
by the dog-eaters.
Merchants Are Slow.
Secretary Johnson wishes the mer-
chants of the city who have secured
space in the pavilion to be notified
through The Evening Statesman. that,
unless they show more interest and
avtivity in fixing up their booths, they
are, liable to be left out in the cid,
for an ronclad rule has gone into eff
feet that no decorating or carpenter
work may be done in the pavilion af-
ter Sunday night. except at times
when the building is not thronged with
people.
In previous years the opening has
been marred with activities of car
penters, working on booths of mer-
chants who were late in getting start
ed, and the directors and the secre-
tary of the association this year have,
given ample notification to all, that
the practice will be eliminated from
the opening of the 1908 fair There
fore no one should be offended if
barred from completing decorations
after the opening of the gates Monday
afternoon.
Ladies' Exhibit
The ladies of the city started work
this morning in arranging tho dis
play to be given on the upper floor of
the pavilion, the large display cases
having been completed and put in
place on the walls. 1t is thought that
the ladies will make a better showing
this year than ever before. as they
have for several weeks been working
diligently toward a most comprehen-
sive exhibit.
Many of the small amusement con-
cessions have arrived at the grounds
and have been given their space.
Booths are rapidly springing up and
such flaming titles as the, "Ko-Ko
Family 1.-The Wild Girl from Mon
tana," the Gypsy Snake Eater" and
the "Double-headed Snake" are to be
seen between the pavilion and the
grandstand.
The track is in the best condition
ever known since the organization or
the association. and everything looks
favorable to the breaking Of former
records. Every morning scores of turf
enthusiasts are to be found at the
track side watching the preliminaries
of their favorite animals. But it is
an impossibility to get advance
lunches" On the speed of this and
that horse, for their work, unaccem-
panied by other horses, is not up to
what it will be in the excitement of
the heats before the thousands of
