met at the City Hall in this city
last Wednesday evening and COM
pleted arrangements for holding

aid of Chitwood, B. F. Grant of
Harlan, A. d. Perkins of Toledo,
the only absent members of the
Committee were ]. H. Glines of
Waldport and R. A. Bensell of
Newport. The meeting was one of
the most enthusiastic meetings ever
held in this county. Every mem
Der plainly showed by his actions
and talk that he intended TO make
the Fair a success, and there is not
the least doubt but that it will be.
Mr.. Nash was chosen chairman
of the committee and c. B. Crosno
was chosen secretary. After stat
ing the object of the meeting Chair
man Nash read the following, which
was generally discussed, accepted
and adopted by sections:
LINCOLN COUNTY FAIR AND FESTIVAL.

Where?-At Toledo.
How long will it last?-Three
whole days.
What will it cost to get there and
stay and see in out?-You can come
by rail, boat, or wagon, or on a
horse. Cheap rates if you have to
pay, not much if you come in your
wagon. Come and camp! The To-
ledo folks will find the camping
grounds, and provide hay and
water.
Who are getting it up?-The To-
ledo Development League started it,
but 1t is the executive Committee
whoes names are signed to this pa
per who are arranging it. They
represent all parts of the county.
The Newport and Waldport Leagues
are helping all they can.
Now read all that follows:
First-The children!
If their fathers and mothers don't
bring them it will be the children's
own fault, and they will miss hav-
ing the good time of their lives.
What will the child rem have to do?
Every school in the county must
march in the parades, and bring
their own banner. The best march
ers who have the prettiest banner
Will have prize, The school

the best singers will get a prize,
A special prize will go to the school

open to professionals and amateurs.
Sports
Baseball matches, footraces, high
and long jump, ball throwing and
pole vaulting.
Competitions
e The Committee believes that many
family may hesitate to enter what
they may have or produce, for
fear that it is not good enough. 4"
But suppose the neighborhood you
live in enters into competition with
other neighborhoods in the county
and makes joint exhibit. Would
not that notion cover your modesty?
There is safety sometimes in
crowd, you know. So the COM
mittee has divided the county into
seven districts, thus: Big Elk and
Elk City, district 1; Nashville,
Nortons and Eddyville, district 2;
Beaver Creek, Waldport, Five Rivers
and Tidewater, district 3: Toledo
and Storrs, 4; Newport and va
quina, 5; Siletz, Kernville and
Morris, 6: Chitwood, 7. Three
prizes, 1st, I'd and Sd, will be Of
fered for competition for the best
joint exhibits. So, if you like to
share in a joint exhibit rather than
take a lone chance, join your neigh
borhood for that end.
Band contests, singing for the
Choirs, debates for the champions
of the schools.
One OF the evenings is kept for
some more serious lecture and enter
tainment, probably with steropticon
views, and with singing and piano
playing.
So there is interest and amuse-
ment for three good days and even
ings. The fair part of it we know
will be all right. We have done
that before-done it well, though in
a hurry. This year of 1909 we
have six months to get ready.
1t is going to cost money of
course. The committee has some
money in hand and will collect
more. But they think that each
family that takes it all in can afford
well to pay 81 for a family ticket
admitting to all except the athletics.
There will be a small admission
charged. The bachelors tickets
will cost them 50c-for themselves
only, but a couple, that is lad and
his lass, must be considered q
family, and pay accordingly. The
committee is going to try and reach
every family in the county with this
notice, they may leave some out, if
they do it is not Intentional and no
offense must be taken, for there are
many newcomers. Everyone in the
county young and old must take a
hand. (Signed)
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
The date of the Fair was set for
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
September 8th, 9th and 10th.

fares, ETC., on the Railroad was as
signed to Mr.. Nash, who will take
the matter up with the railroad
company.

regard to securing large tents in
which to hold the Fair. Mr.. Davis

THE MONTH OF JUNE.
BY DEAN COLLINS.

OD1NA@~~'S'
What ia SO rare as the month of June2
Summer comes with its sunny days,
Over the farm with merry tune
The leghorn cackles her morning
lays;
The raw-boned calf, by the barnyard
fence,
Gambols about with vim immense,
And the smooth, packed highways
blossom out
With the touring car and the run
about.
The playful mercury mounts the scale
And winter flannels are laid aside,
And where iced beverage stands on
sale
The wanderers throng through tne
portals wide.
The man who back in the month OF
May
Wore winter clothing persistently :,
Clasps and swelters and ponders nard
What parts of his clothes ne snail
next discard.
The blistered boy, as he barefoot goes
Over the glaring hot cement,
Souirms and wiggles his singeing
toes
And dolefully lifts a sad lament;
Yet though the splinter or bruise OF
stone
Or blistering pavements make him
moan,
The shrewdest argument man might
use
Can't coax him back to his cast Oh
shoes.
Boldly barehead, he gains eftsoon,
Over the breadth OF his sunburned
face,
FreckIes large as harvest moon
Scattered widely in every place;
But the dainty damsel serenely hio
Under the droop OF her ample lid,
Mocks at the sun, beyond its reach
And still blooms on like pink-cheekeC
peach.
The Office boy to the baseball park
Yearns to 90 and enjoy the game,
And plans expedients wierd and darl
BY which he hopes to achieve th'
same.
The Congress wearily hammers still
AT the knotty kinks In the Tarin bill
while Taft beholds on the Afric shor'
The spot light following Theodore.
The ice man smiles in a merry way
And puffs at a plump two-bit seegar
For June is the jovial iceman's day
And he gathers tribute from nea
and far. go
The sly mosquitoes whet their bills
Filled with the germs OF a THOUSAND
ills,
For this is the season, the insect knows
or the peek-a-boo and the openworl
hose.
Solemn graduates wisely frown
And point to the ills Of the Universe
And show where mankind has fallel
! down,
And trying to better, has mad
things worse;
Then. when that hefty task is DER.
They get them a job 10 grocer's store
BRIGHT and busy aud passing soon.
What is so rare as the month OF June
