noon in Jamieson's opera house tn,
20 acres just west of the town linn.

the deal.
Monday this committee got started
with the petitions and Tuesday ev-

This committee will report at a
meeting to be held next Wednesday
evening when all arrangements pos
sible will be made for this years
fair. Everybody interested should be
present at that meeting, and if any
one who is interested hasn't yet
put his name down for one or more
shares he should lose no time doing
so.
At the meeting last Saturday there
was considerable contention about
which grounds should be selected,
the Tribune believes however that it
is all ended now The location cf
the grounds isn't nearly so import
ant as unity of all Lynden people
| in making the fair a success. If we
are all agreed We can make fair
/ located three miles beyond the Can
adian line success, and the Tribune
believes We are all agreed.
Tuesday night Messrs Serrurier,
Rusco, Frasier and Cloud made trip
to Bellingham and met with the
Chamber of Commerce officials. The
daily papers had reported that Bell
ilgham was trying to get tri-county
fair organized. AS it turned out the
Chamber of Commerce knew moth
ing about the project except that II
had had a word from farmer that
the oranges wanted to hold a tri-
! county fair there. The Chamber Ci
! Commerce officials assured the Lyn.
J den men that they felt very friendly
to the Lynden project and that they
would help us boost it.

playing ball again. 1t was four in
nings before the Bellingham aggreg-
alton got one home They never got
another.
Lynden started off with four scores
and brought in one in the second
and another in the third.
There were dozens of plays that
call d for applause in spite of the
hot weather and several OF the fans
came near overworking For instance
in the third Fritz stopped one throw
to first that was a mile high, more
or less. When Lynden was at bat
in the same inning Stats Knocked
two bagger which also started the
sweat on the fans.
In the sixth Hemmy caught a warm
liner, touched the runner for second,
and doubled to first for another out.
In the seventh, one of the Belling-
ham battering rams lambed one Out
into center pretty nearly to the :ence'
Everybody ran for it. Stats and Reeo
both arrived with a bump against
each other that could be heard n
the grand stand. The ball arrived at
the same time. Reed grabbed it and
froze to it.
In the seventh, Meurer hit one into
the center field that should have beer
safe, but the Bellingham man was
there with the nit. In the same IN
ming Hemmy tried the same dodge
into left field and it failed. Fritz
made little hit toward first anc
beat it down.
In the eighth Stats put hot one
out to the center and the fielder maa
a long run, grabbed the ball ant
dropped it. Claud Reed who was do
ing the umpiring in the field caii@'
Stats safe. Bellingham went into TN

Immediately after lunch Messrs P.

TO ORGANIZE

VIM. j. Bigger of Bellingham, has
| called for meeting of Progressiye
pannh',e.~- urs--.---.- county \,
bo held In his offices -.--.s- x
and 403 Sunset Block. tomorrow eIl
ening, to which all progressive re-
pnhlicans are invited. The purpose
OF the meeting is the completion OF
an organization and the election OF
officers.
Last February at the Lincoln birth
day banquet given by the Progress
i've Republicans of the State oi
Washington, at the New Washing
ton Hotel, Seattle, plans were laic
for the organization in each county
of the State of County leagues ano
later of a State league which is TO bt
affiliated with and act in harmon!
With the National Progressive League
recently organized by the leading in
sureents of the Nation and headed
by United States Senator Bouren d
Oregon.
On the occasion of the banquet
State Executive Committee was elect
ed for the purpose of later consumat
ing the State and County organizat
ions. VIM. J. Biggar OF Bellingham
was chosen Secretary of this Com
mittee.
Pursuant to this plan, County Lea
CUES have already been formed il
most of the larger Counties of tht
State, such as King, Spokane Pierce
Thurston and others, and as soon u
all the Counties have perfected the
organizations and chosen their Oft
icers, State meeting will be helt
composed of Representatives from
each County who will form the Pro
gressive Republican League of III
State of Washington. 1t is the pur
pose of the League to take an ACTIVE
part in the approaching National AM
State campaigns and united effor
Wi cO hAdoS thi OuehOut thS SO
ito nominate a progressive repuo
lican at the next national republican
convention. 1t is certain that
full state ticket will be put forward
although no candidates have been de
termined upon as yet.
Some time ago Secretary Biggar re
ceived from Senator Bourne, Pre- sid
ent of the National Progressive lie
publican League, lists for signature
of all those who desire to subscrlp
to the declaration Of principles {
Progressive Republicanism. TIES
, lists contain a declaration of prir
ciples of the National Progressive Rs
publican League and are being use
| throughout the country in forIain
| the several County Leagues, an
| they have been circulated exter
sively for signatures. Only those WI
sign may vote at the organizatio
meeting.

Terrible
Scourge
Of
Mosquitoes

Mosquitoes? Say, you never saw
mosquitoes like those that invaded
Whatcom County last week for about
three days.
We don't often have mosquitoes
here. l don't remeber ever seeing
many before, but old timers say that
20 years ago they were quite thick.
These m-squitoes were foreigners
full blooded Canadians-only they
weren't full of blood when they came
over, they were full of blood when
they went back. They came it is
said from the swamps across the line
from Sumas.

were wearing beads under their Skin
\ door
in Lynden.
! At Sumas it was even worse thai
in Lynden. Mills were closed-th
men being unable to fight mosquote
and work. Business men and other
who found it necessary to be on th
street, wore m.squito netting abou
there heads.
Ii is reported that two babies, on,
near Sumas and one West of Lyndel
several miles, died last week from tn,
effect of mosquito bites. 1t is alst
reported that farmers near Sumas los
, several young calves from the pois
onous insects. The Tribune has beer
unable to find anything authentic
about any of these rumors, however
and so treats them only as rumors
, However it is certain that the mos
uaitos were awfully thick and tina
bite was very poisonous to many peo
pie. Here in Lynden many people
were badly poisoned.
If this town is ever infested again
the Tribune is going to petition TIL
government to protest to the Canad
| ian government. Those swalnp
ought to be drained.
