FOR SPOKANE FAIR
Is. Burgunder, Agent For Interstate
Fair, Busy Gathering Exhibits
For il

tuesday Ben Burgunder. of Col
tax was in Pullman to consult with
President Bryan, Professor Thorn
Der and others in regard to furnish
ing an exhibit from Washington State
college ard the town of Pullman
for the Interstate fair to be held in
Spokane from September 20 to "a.
inclusive. Mr.. Burgunder is an ex-
perlenced man in fair matters, hav-
ing been manager of the Whitman
county fair for several years and
also had charge of the Whitman
county exhibits at the old Spokane
Fruit Fair" at the time when Whit
man county won the cup for the best
exhibits three years in succession.
Mr.. Burgunder got promise of sub
stantial help from Washington State
College which will have a number
of .'ne exhibits at the fair, including
the fat stock which will be shown
there prior to being taken to the
Aiaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition at
Seattle. and a lot of fine hogs, sheep
and dairy cows from the college herd.
Mr.. Burgunder left in the evening
for Moscow, where he visited the
faculty OF the University of Idaho.
He says the prospects for the best
fair ever held in Spokane are bright
and the livestock show will be the
best ever seen in the west. Many ex-
hibitors from the middle west will
stop at Spokane enroute to the
Observation-Disclosures exposition and
show at the Interstate fair.

The pernicious activity of the two
leading newspapers of Seattle, the
Times and the Post-Intelli gencer, In
attacking every eastern Washington
institution and charging fraud and
crime in connection with Washington
State College is causing deep resent
ment among the people of eastern
washington. The Times, which
has wagd constant and unjust war
against Governor Hay, probably be-
cause that official has ignored the
great Blethen family in apportioning
the pie" has attacked every east
side institution, even to the asylum
at Medical Lake, and the Yakima
talr. The Times is the mouth-piece
or the corrupt gang which is being
Investigated at the instance of Gov
ernor Hay, backed by the east side
legislators. Its attacks are vicious
unfair and its charges are false in
many particulars and Intentionally
misleading in others, while its ignor-
ance, as shown in it's editorial and
news columns is appalling.
The AlaskaY ukon-Pac exposi-
ton is the pet of Seattle and the
newspapers of that corrupt city. The
suggestion was made one the streets
that eastern Washington people that
have been unjustly treated by the
two Seattle newspapers, boycott the
exposition and do all in their power
to keep their friends from attending
the big show, which is expected to
throw into the pockets of Seattle's
grating population, millions of dol
lars in the next few months. The
idea may be a good on and is worthy
of consideration. While, as a usual
thing, the boycott is the weapon of
the coward, when applied to cities
like Seattle it may be justifiable.
Sattle is laboring under the same
delusion that Colfax had in this
county. Seattle cannot separate it
self from the thought that Seattle
is the state and must control or die
tate every political policy and have
all of the political pie. The fact that
the east secured the governor and
he is likely to place some of Seattles
pet politicians in the penitentiary is
enough to drive Edior Blethen into
Mysteries and his rawlings are interest
ing to people of the east side.

There is no need for any fear or

There is no necessity or excuse for
