MYRIAD FEATURES
DANISH DULL CARE
ATTRACTIONS OF PASS WILL CON.
TRAST WITH MORE SERIOUS
EXHIBITS.
MUSIC BY ELEPHANT BAND
Free Attractions More Numerous Than
Ever Before Misunderstanding
Events Are Corkers.

Variety not only is the spice of life
but experience has proven that it is
one of the requisites of success for a
big undertaking of a public character
such as a state fair. In recognition of
this fact the management of the Ken
lucky State Fair has made plans for
the ninth annual exhibition which
promise entertainment for all classes
and sections. While the more serious
form of entertainment comes first, es-
pecially in connection with an educa-
tional institution such as the Ken
lucky State Fair is proving to be, the
demand always is great for something
in lighter vein which will help drive
dull care away and furnish kind of
mental dessert for the feast of good
things which the new premium list
disc1oses.
1t was the recognition of this ele-
ment in human nature which caused
the side show at the county fair to be
born. The idea progressed until the
great international exhibitions at Chi
cago and st. Louis were produced. 1t
was at the former that the Midway
became reality and at the latter that
the Pass was introduced. Both struck
a popular chord and thus it is that the
different state fairs are not consid-
cred complete without some such fea-
ture.
Both Novel and Clean.
But, together with the adoption of
the Pass feature has come the recog-
milton of the further fact that the gen.
eral public will not long approve it
unless it is encompassed' by moral
surroundings and not prove offensive
to the CROWDS which attend. The con-
tracts made for the myriad Pass fea-
lures for the coming fair included
stipulations to the effect that the
shows must be clean, While retaining
the virtue of being novel. This con-
dition will be complied with. Not
only will the shows be novel but they
will be new. The old time, much
worked over exhibitions will not be
countenanced. On the Pass, as well
as everywhere else, the public will be
expected to be given their moneys
worth and failure on the part of show
men to do this will meet with instant
rebuke.
AS an adjunct to the Pass features
will be the numerous free acts, all
thrilling and exciting. Caterers to
popular amusement assert that the
great Babcock act in which a bicycle
rider dashes down a steep incline,
loops the loop and gaps the gap so
quickly that the spectators can with
difaculty follow him with their eye. is

Corn Clubs Favored.

A fortune in prizes, offered in con-
nection with regular exhibits, and any
number of special prizes offered as in
ducements to the people of Kentucky
to put the very best of their products
on display at the coming Kentucky
State Fair, is having the effect of in
.eresting exhibitors to an extent never
before known this early in advance
But, aside from the actual money to
be obtained, there is that about the
preparations for the coming monster
exhibition which carries confidence
with it.
The Kentucky State Fairgrounds,

held for one week in September, be-
ginning on Monday, the 18th, and end.

Dainty Needle Work.
Here articles of needle work, almost
endless in number, old fashioned blan.
kets or comfOrters, shawls, dainty ar.
ticles of feminine wear, all represent.
ing long hours of careful and painstak.
ing work, will be shown.
Another feature which will appeal
to the women, as well as the men, is
the poultry department. This industry
has progressed wonderfully, even in
the past year, and to-day those in
Kentucky and Southern Indiana, who
are giving time and money to the rails.
ing of wonderfully impressive speci
mems in the poultry line, are numbered
by the thousands.
Then there is the Field, Seed and
Grain department. The husbandman
who provides the food which sustains
the greatest nation of the earth will
be in his element when he reaches this
department next September, as Secre
tary Shy has seen to it that especial
attention is to be given the products
of the field.
Prizes For Best Cereal.
Prominent among the innovations
| will be the Boys Corn Show, with
| prizes sufficient to tempt the best oil
the youthful corn growers. Already
over the state, the rivalry is keen, and
| the members of the different clubs are
| striving with might and main to pro
duce specimens of the cereal which
they hope will capture one or more Of
the premiums.
The state has been divided into
three districts for the purposes of the
| corn show and the prizes will BIZ
| awarded as to districts. Then, to caI
the climax, there will be grand
sweepstakes prize, which will cause
| the boys from some sections of Ken
lucky to return home after September
16 next, proudly bearing the trophy
which will be fine tribute to theil
skill and industry.
In connection with the Field, SEED
and Grain, Poultry and Women's De
partments, respectively, Secretary Sh!
calls attention to the fact that the
closing dates for entries, which will bt
| strictly adhered to, are as follows:
Women's department, Saturday, Sep

duced.
Music on All Hands.
The musical elephants will be a
source of continuous delight to the
children as we'll as heir elders The
stunts" which these huge pachyderms
perform illustrate what patience and
ingenuity will accomplish in the train
ing of wild beasts.
The Whirlihg Lunette Sisters fur.
nish still another attraction of more
than ordinary interest. All lovers of
music will enjoy the abundance of it
provided by the state fair manage
ment. Three high class bands, more
than have ever before been heard on
the state fair grounds, will render pro.
grams each morning, afternoon and
night of the fair. Calliendo, the great
Italian leader naturally will be most
in evidence.
Fat Purses For the Races.
A total of $4,000 in purses will be
offered in connection with the racing
events which will exceed in interest
any ever before held. Kentucky is to-
day the center of racing as a result
of the fight made on the sport in nu
merous states and the stand early ia
ken by the legislature in passing laws
for the control of racing which puts
it on a high plane. There will be
twelve races in all during the week
seven trotting and five pacing events
Due to the fact that the head-on col
lision is scheduled for Saturday after
noon of fair week it will mean that OF
the first five days of the fair the pub
lie will get more than its usual share
of races. On Monday there will be
two, and on Wednesday and Thurs
day there will be three races each.

WALLoWA VALLEY BEST
AND CHEAPEST IRRIGATION

H. w. Grunsky, special investigat-
or of irrigation for the census office,
left for other fields of work Satur-
day after two weeks spent here. He
says this is the best watered land
he has seen, having the greatest
number of large bitches to the
amount of land irrigated. Another
feature he was enthusiastic about is
the mutual ownership of the water
rights, bitches, etc., by the farmers
giving not only the best but the
cheapest irrigation of anywhere in
the West. Mr.. Grunsky was accom-
panied by his wife, and both are en-
amoured with beautiful Wallowa val
ley, and hope to return some day and
spend a longer time here.

To COLLECT DATA
OF WALLOWA COUNTY
ENTERPRISE COMMERCIAL CLUB
WORKING FOR GENERAL
GOOD OF COUNTY.

While the attendance at the Com
mercial club meeting Friday night
was not large there was earnestness
and determination manifest to put the
club on permanent, progressive
footing.
President s. l.. Burnaugh presided
and stated the object of the meeting.
The causes of apathy were gone ov-
er thoroughly and remedies proposed
by number of members. The work OF
the Commercial club during the past
four or five years was reviewed ana
everybody conceded it had been worth
while. All that had been done was
done for the general good OF the
community and certainly comparative
ly important things had been accom-
plished. The record Is one of success
from the start until now. But 1T is
also recognized that different work
now lies before the club, just as I'M
portant and just as difficult as any
heretofore.
The action of the impromptu session
of the club, following Tuesday nights
mass meeting, in remitting all except
three months back dues was rau-
fled. The old debts of the club un'
der former organization will be met
by subscription and fine start to-
ward the necessary sum was raised.
The election of officers and direc
tors resulted as follows: President
B. B. Boyd; treasurer, G. s. Bradley;
directors, c. T. Hockett, Daniel BOYD
F. A. Clarke, s. L. Burnaugh and II

Why should. he stay here to spoil
their waking hour? No. He would
surrender his apartment to them.
Softly he tiptoed to his own corner
Of the car. He gathered up his be-
longings-an ancient violin case,
stout walking stick, goodly sized
pack done up in gaudy cloth, well
worn pair Of sandals with long, frayed
lacings. AS gently he stole back to
the door. He tossed a kiss to the
sleeping girl, his dark gypsy face
aglow with admiration and mischief,
and was about to blow out the light
Of his candle. Then he changed his
mind.
With determined shake of his head
and new fash Of the eye, he calmly

the pretty slumberers. They piled him
with questions. He described the cou-

they clapped each other on the back
and swore splendidly.
And so It was that the news spread
over town at 8 O'Clock that Truxton
King was where he could do no harm.
It was well known that the train
would make forty miles an hour down
the steep grade into the lower valley.
When Truxton King first awoke to

he leaned to his feet with startled
shout of alarm. With frantic energy
he pulled open the door. For a min
