FAIR.

The ladies of the Deborah society
of the Presbyterian church are ar
ranging to hold fair in Cummings
hall on September 80. 1t is a very
ambitious undertaking, and out OF 1t
will probably grow a regular annual
north valley fair. 1T is now planned
out on the same basis as regulates
every agricultural fair, and no pains
nor labor will be spared in making 1t
success. There will be regular de-
partments with managers and judges.
and it is expected that there will be
large and representative exhibit from
all parts of this end of the county. The
color scheme of the hall will be red
and white, and it is the intention of
the ladies in charge to have the hall
beautifully decorated Everybody is
urged to send in exhibits and aid in
making the fair success. and it is
hoped that this initatory start will re-
suit in making an annual fair fea-
ture in Oroville. The following are

al committees having charge OF the

SPOKANE FAIR.

The Spokane Inter State Fair Is an
annual drawing card that attracts
thousands of people from the sur
rounding country to the eastern Wash
ington metropolis every year. 1t is
looked forward to with anticipations
of pleasure, and those who attend are
never disappointed. Many people
manage to visit Spokane only once
year, and they generally select fair
week as the date of the pilgrimage. 1t
is safe to predict that the attendance
this year will be equal to, if it does
not surpass. that of any previous year.
The dates fixed for the fair of 1912
are from September 80 to October 6.

In boosting his own candidacy for
governor on the Roosevelt party ticket,
to be placed in the field in this state,
W. II. Paulhamus says only men of
character and ability" should be Sc
lected. This is good advice from a
man of such high and pure moral
character as Paulhamus, and should
be carefully followed by the electors
when 1t comes to voting for governor
1t might aid the Paulhamus' candidacy
if that individual would only draw up
a careful statement as to his private
record as known only to few from
the time he left Dakota to the present
day.

In estimating the probabniHes Of

1910 occurred the tarir Legislation
known as the Payne tariR law. Il Is

that party which revises the tariR Is
defeated at the next election. and the
only exception to the rule in recent.
years was the passage of the Dlngley
law. which was followed 50 closely BY
the outbreak of the SpanishsAmerican
war as to bury. the tarif issue in a
wave of patriotic enthusiasm. The

dlction that they will be safely.in the
Taft column in November. That they
will SO unanimously support, any other
Republican candidate. particularly e
the third term issue is injected into

formed leaders in those states.
as to the nomination there is no,
