EY OCTOBER FIRST

Work on the Derby-Lafky building
has progressed so satisfactorily that
by September the part of the build
ing to be used as a furniture store by
Calef Brothers, of Portland, will be
ready fer occupancy Messrs. Erb &
Van Patton. the contractors, will
crowd the work on the remainder OF
the building so that the entire struct-
ure will be completed by October l.
This building. three stories, and
constructed Of brick with white brick

lists.

AS the date of the opening of the
fair approaches the prospects for a
record-brealker camp crowd increase.
Mrs. Il. e. Morgan, of Portland, ar
rived in camp last night and will re-
main until the close of the fair She
will be found at No. 80 on the cottage
row,
j. f. Davidson, Of Rickreall, who
has been at the grounds for several
months, left for Scio yesterday with
his family They have been in the

WIN pay Con Homyer's fine If he
will boot from the grounds the jack
ass who has been painting some build
ings on the camp ground. A vining
rosebush that l have been carefully
training for three years over certain
building in Moores avenue otherwise
known as the gents toilet, was cut
down by this highblnder in the states
employ. He beautified the toilet on
the outside by coat OF paint, but left
the inside looking as II the hogs had
wallowed there. If l knew the fell
lows name 1t would appear in this
bulletin. He showed as much sense
as did one Of the farmers at the
grounds some years ago who cut down
the hop vines that had trained over
some of the buildings 1t is such ac-
tions as these that causes man to
break the commandment Thou Shalt
Not Swear.
Since the dog show has been de-
clared off owing to the war on dogs In
Portland, 1t stands every dog owner
on the camp grounds to send home his
dog. People are not in humor to put
up with the dog nuisance among the
campers. True, a dog is mans best
friend, but there are men who will
poison dog, A bowling dog on these
grounds will be apt to be considered
as mad, and the first dog that breaks
into neighbor's camp will be apt to
be considered as the Chinaman said,
'Klazie," and be killed on the spot.
Take friends advice, and keep your
dog at home this year.
All persons who have engaged
camping space are requested to notify
the superintendent of the grounds
whether or not they are coming. Come
early and avoid being crowded. Mon
day Of the fair, September 2. is to be
the biggest first day in the history OF
the Oregon State Fair. Come early.
Three cars Of Arizona cattle will be
unloaded on the camp grounds this
forenoon. They are prize winners. and
oregonlans will have to hustle in or
DER to successfully compete with the
cattle from this new state.
Who knows the address OF Johnnie
kirkland. Three people wish to rent

Miss Pauline Looney, Of Jefferson,
