pOraY Building.


airy building to be erected on the lot
owned by the fair organization OPP
posite the Hotel Oregon.
The premium lists show a fine lot of
prizes and the growers of the valley
are taking a great deal of interest and
holding up some of their best fruit to
be exhibited at the fair. Many beau
tiful cups and medals will be offered
and the competition for them will be
very keen. A special prize of a gold
watch is being offered for good pack
ing and the second prize in this con-
test will be SIS.
The work on the temporary structure
in which the show will be held is to
be started this week and a building so
by l00feet will be erected. The lum-
ber used in the structure will be
adapted for used in the permanent fair
building to be put up later so that
there will be little loss. 1t was
believed that it would be better to
have a fair building built especially
for the purpose than to go into another
building for the exhibit.
Besides very large display from
Hood River growers, the apple men in
surrounding sections are showing con-
siderable interest in the show and
while they will not compete for the
prizes there will be district exhibits
from several other places. Lyle has
asked for a space at the show and
White Salmon, Mosier and Underwood
are expected to bring in some speci-
mems Of their apples. Carson has
asked for space in which to show
Skamania county fruit and vegetables.
The show will probably be the
Hood River and every section of the
valley will be represented. The
growers in the upper valley are taking
an active interest in the fair and they
are putting up some fine fruit from
the big crop they enjoyed this year
They will try to make some of the
lower valley growers look to theil
laurels. A great many of the HooC
River growers, who are planning tC
exhibit apples in the Oregon Apple
Show, of the State Horticultural
society, which will be held in Portland
the week following the Hood Rive
fair, will pack up their prize stool
and take it to Portland after it i
exhibited here.
