PRICE OF FLOUR
IS GOING DOWN
Garden Truck Also on Decline
Price of Meats Remains
the Same

Flour dropped Monday, the Yakima
Best and Prosser brand to the extent
of ten cents per sack and the Dutch
Mill five cents. No particular reason
is given for the slump, but as the har-
vest season is about over it is quite
likely that the reason lies there.
Tomatoes and other garden stuff
has gone down a little, the former
having dropped to two cents.
There has been no change in the
price of meats.

HORSE RACING WILL
Be STATE FAIR FEATURE

Trials of speed among horses will
be an exciting an interesting feature
of the state fair this year, as in for
mer years. Not a day will pass that
there will not be something in that
line presented that will hold the
crowd. The big event Of the open
ing day, next Monday. will be the
contest Of two-year- olds, the same
animals that competed in the Futur-
ity event at the state fair grounds
July 4. The attendance on the for
mer meeting of these animals was
not as large as expected. and there
were many who regretted that they
did get out to see the fun. They
will now be given another opportun-
ity.
Following is a list of the animals
and their owners, in the order in
which they finished on the previous
occasion: Grant NJ. Lovenstein's PAGER
Ed. Armitage's, Farmer Schott; Peter
Fryatt's, March First; Charles Gag
mons Speedwell; DR.. Harvey's, Jim
Harvey; William Osborns Miss We
mas; Al Manning's, Ahtanum.
1t is believed that Ahtanum would
not have been last by any means, as
far as speed is concerned. but was
placed in the last position on &C.
count of having been disqualified by
the judges.

GREAT PREPARAT|ON|I7
FOR THE STATE FAIR
Exhibitors Are Urged to Get Their
Entries Sent in and Avoid
Eleventh Hour Rush

The State Fair management re.
quests that entries be sent in as rap
idly as possible on stock and articles
prepared for exhibition at the fair,
which opens next Monday morning.
1t is not necessary that exhibits be
brought to the grounds this week but
it is necessary that entry blanks be
properly filled out and filed with the
secretary that the books may be writ
ten up for early Judging.
Supt. l.. v. Hanson. in charge Of the
dairy department, arrived this morn
ing to look over the situation and
talks most encouragingly. He says
that enough butter il now stored at
the ice plant to insure keep and full
competition in the butter scoring con-
test. Carpenters are fitting up the
rooms for the dairy display and they
will be ready for occupancy to-
morrow.
The secretary and his office force
now occupy the new office under the
southern end Of the grandstand
where the public was attended to to-
day for the first time. The week has
opened with rush and at least half

about the grounds getting them in
shape, finishing contracts, or prepar
ing exhibits.
Secretary Pace went to Walla walIa
last night to conclude contracts for
two or three strong attractions which
have been delayed in final action. The
amusement and attraction program in
already one of the strongest ever
shown at State Fair in the north
west, but as large crowd is expected,
much larger than last year. Secretary
Pace is doubly anxious to keep the
fair up to the highest possible stand
ard. An ostrich show; the Schones,
flying aerialists; Madame Wanda and
her trained animals; Odell, the bee
wizard" and his marvellous feats with
bees in a wire cage; balloon races
every day; and Ferullo's 50-piece
band are among the strongest fsa-
lures already booked.

The fact that women may be entire

1t is not very surprising to hear
that the assassination of President
Stolypin of Russia is charged to the
|connivance of the Jews. Whatever
happens in Russia in the matter OF
social disturbance is blamed on the
prosecuted race and made the excuse
for further indignities being heaped
upon them. The Russian Jew has
treatment. A great part of Russia.
social unrest comes from the fact that
neither the government at large mol

Several exchanges are referring to
the coming State fair as the North
Yakima Fair and the western Wash
ington Fair" 1t cannot be charged
to a desire to knock the coming fair
nor hardly to ignorance, and 1t must
be inadvertance. The North Yakima
fair is the Washington State fair, and
it should be designated by it's proper
title.

A stitch in time saves nine, as the
old saying goes; and is applicable to the
conduct of the city government and
elsewhere. Although funds are shor,
for the carrying out of any great i'm
provement, yet it seems as though il
would be a great saving to the brick
pavement if the whole Of 1t or the
parts needing it the most could be re-
coated or cemented before freezing
weather comes, as in many places
there is no evidence Of any filler be-
tween the bricks for quite ways
down, and the freezing of water will
only force the openings deeper, and
may cause irreparable damage.
