booths will be completed by Saturday
night. However, there are those who
are hanging back until the last mo-
ment. and they may find their opera
tons curtailed by the opening of the
doors. No carpenter work is to be
permitted in the building after the
doors are opened, and it behooves the
merchants to start at once on the
work of making their exhibit and ar
ranging their booths.
Box Seats On Sale.
The sale of box seats this year will
be larger than ever before experienced
by the local association, for the reason
that an additional row of boxes was
constructed in the grandstand during
the summer, and the capacity of the
stand greatly increased. Box seats are
now on sale in the office of Secretary
Johnson, and from the manner in
which the advance sale has been con-
Quoted, it is expected every available
box will be occupied each day of the
big fair.
One of the exhibits that promises to
prove of interest to farmers of this
section will be that of the Pacific Gas
Traction Engine company, which is to
consist of one of the engines drawing
ten 14-inch John Deere plows in the
center of the track 1t is claimed this
work can be done on a gallon and a
half of gasoline to the acre, and the
demonstration to be given fair week is
expected to plow the greater portion
Of the land enclosed within the race
track.

Owners of autos in this section of

engagements to capture the liberal
prizes offered by the association for
the best decorated machine in the par

people of the city We're yesterday eve
ming startled by seeing a half cOmplet-

local motorists are getting into line
for the parade there is every reason
to believe that so cars will be decorat-

Horses Arrive.

More bloOded running horses ar
rived at the track this geek, and are
being put through their PAGES by dhe
dilgent trainers. Secretary Johnson is
of the opinion that the Walla Walla
fair will have more horses and better
ones than were represented either in
Portland or Spokane. The large en-
try list indicates such a condition, and
every arrangement has been made for
the accommodation of both trainers
and racers.
With excellent weather practically
assured for the big week, and with
everyone taking an interest in the big
annual event, there is no reason to
doubt but that the seventh annual
county fair will be one of the biggest
and most successful in the history OF
southeastern Washington.

not sit down.
"Her conversation was mere persinage,
her plano playing was like Paderewskf S

English language was that II lacked eff-

French phrases in her statements.

she was waiting impauently In the nope
