times will be hard in that section
this winter. The price of hay has
jumped to 500 per ton and the stock
men do not know how they are go

winter. The crops north of Cal

the experience has been too much
for many of the former esidents OF
the Northwestern part of the United
States and they are coming back to
their old homes in large numbers.

FAIR PROMISES
A BIG EVENT
MANY IMPORTANT ITEMS WILL
BE INCORPORATED IN THE
PROGRAM.

Mention has been made, in part.
of the exhibit of the colts from the
various sires of Wallowa county at
the Wallowa County Fair to be held
in Enterprise the week beginning
September &c.
In connection with this, the asso-
ciation viii solicit the owners Of
sires to give as a premium for the
best colt from each sire, a service OF
the sire to the owner OF such pre-
MUM colt. :
The exhibit in Itself of each sire's
colts within the county will be a
wide advertisement for every horse
and jack in the county. The own
ers of such sires are being cores
ponded with by the Fair associa-
ton, and it Is expected that this may
be made one of the big events of the
exhibit.
Another matter that needs to be
emphasized Is the stock sale that
will be held each day of the Fair by
the association. No breeder within
The county can afford not to have
his best stock on exhibition. This
proposed sale has interested the
breeders pretty much through the
Northwest and thousands Of out
side people are expected to be in at
tendan ce at the Fair.
In the matter OF amusements alone
the association has already expended
or contracted to expend over $1,000
about $500 UP to date. This, with
innumerable other features, will
make the Fair gala event that will
appeal to everybody.
