SeSseS the most beautiful and magni-
ficent scenery, the highest mountain,
and the largest stadium of any coun-
ty in the United States, but also be-
cause in its Valley Fair it possesses
the finest medium OF any county in
the State for displaying its fruits, ce-
reals, dairy and other products, which
are not excelled in quality and guam
tity per arabic acreage anywhere.
The Valley Fair will convene in the
city OF Puyallup on October I'd and
continue till October 7th, inclusive.
The display will this year, no doubt,
surpass all former exhibits. We do
not contine the Valley Fair to the val
ley of Pierce alone, but will gladly
welcome visitors from any and every
county in the State.
wOMAN's DAY.
Thursday, October 5th, has been
set apart as Woman's Day, and a
programme OF unusual excellence has
been prepared by these in charge.
Addresses will be given by eloquent
men and women. Music, vocal and
