and this valley probably drew it's share
of the immigrants, the coming fair
will do even more.
when we were first appointed on
the committee to get together a cred
liable exhibit we thought that an easy
job had fallen to us and that the var
ious producers of the country would
pour their goods upon us for display
purposes We We're mistaken how
ever, and found that the work of col
lecting fruit had to be done by our
selves if we expected to have any. We
procured a professor, but for some
time he was able to do nothing for
lack of material upon which to work
During the fall and winter months,
however, we have secured a very cred
liable exhibit of Walla Walla county's
fruits and vegetables. Now we find
that the $4,000 pledged for this pur-
pose is growing small With these
things in mind it will readily be ap-
preciated that the Office has not
proven such a sinecure as people at
first imagined
when the booth is opened, if the
exhibit from this valley does not COM
pare favorably with the Spokane one
for which $4,000 was pledged, and
if it is not up to the Yakima one, for
which the people of that locality sub
scribed $4,000, do not feel sore. We
have done our best with the mea gre
$4,000 at our disposal
Mr.. ONeil went on to explain the
location and the space of the Walla
Walla booth and told how the size
was changed from 30x16 feet to an
increased dimensions of 58X16. And
even that is small, he said, for Spo-
kane has it's own building, has space
in the agricultural building, and also
in the state building.
Speaking of the school exhibit from
this valley, Mr.. ONeil said after some
discussion, it was decided not to have
it in connection with the fruit display
owing to the fact that it might de-
tract in manner from the principal
item. In concluding Mr.. O'Neil said:
Il feel that we need some outside
assistance, for even now our allow
ance is expended. People do not ap-
preciate the fact that after the fair
closes, this county will have an as
set in the exhibition which the COM
mission has provided that will approx
innate in value the total cost of the
collection and that it is an investment
from which will spring wonderful re-
turns"
