annual meeting we're elected as fol-
lows:
d. M. McInnes, President.
K. F. Sweeney, First Vice Presi-
dent.
F. e. Harte, Second Vice President.
L. Y. Williams, Treasurer.
j. d. Dean. Secretary.
Mr.. McInnes is president of the
State Dairymen's s Association, and is
a successful farmer, having lived for
many years near Chimacum. and now
resides in Seattle.
Mr.. Harte is editor OF, the North
Bend Record and has much experience
in fair work.
Mr.. Sweeney is one of the wealthy,
successful business men of Seattle
and owner Of the hotel Savoy.
Mr.. Williams is successful farmer
and berry grower near Kent. He is
past master of the Pomona Grange
and represented the oranges in this
movement. He has been mainly in
strumental in the work of this fair.
j. d. Dean is the editor of The
Ranch, which has lead in this fight
for some time, and is also editor of
the White River Journal.
FINANCES.
To finance the fair this year has
been one of the troubles or the reason
that no fair was held last year and
no levy was made for such purposes.
The promoters, however, went before
the county commissioners and asked
them to assume the rental of the
Meadows for S250O, which they agreed
TO do. The last levy made for fair
purposes in King county provided
for $18, 900 and one half of this had
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-02-15

If they are unfortunate, however, the
subscribers must expect to consider
what they put into 1t a donation.
We hope that every person who is in
terested in the manufacturing, educa-
tion and agricultural growth Of King
county will put his shoulder to the
wheel, buy a small amount of stock at
least and push the thing along.
For information address the secre-
tary at Kent.
EXPER ENTAIL FARM.
One of the principal features al
ready arranged for is an experimental
farm directly on the fair grounds.
Prof. Sparks, in charge of the farm
experimental work Of the State Col
lege, has already arranged to give
the best experimental farm in the
state outside of the Puyallup Station,
on the fair grounds within the race
track. There are about % acres of
ground there which will be under the
control of the fair association.
Specially will be made of forage crops
and school children's 8 garden growing.
This will be a very valuable feature.
Mr.. Sparks was present at the meet
ing and outlined plan which will
be worth great deal of money to
the farmers of the state who take an
interest in this matter.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1912-02-15

been paid to the Western Washington
Fair Association when it's progress
was stopped by the courts. The
balance Of about $4,000 can be used to
partly finance this fair. The balance
will be made up of the sale Of stock.
The price Of stock is fixed at 81 90
per share, and persons are asked to
subscribe as many shares as they de-
sire. The committee hopes that by
this means large part Of the money
will be raised in small amounts so
that great interest will be created.
Already hundreds have promised to
buy at least five shares. An active
campaign for the sale of stock in
small amounts will be taken up soon.
The shares of stock can be subscribed
by sending to the secretary, j. d.
Dean, at Kent, who will receipt for it
and turn it over to Treasurer Will
Jams, who will secure a bond accord
ing to the demands Of the trustees.
LOCATION.
The fair will be held at the Meadows,
just south of Georgetown in the
Duwamish valley, five miles from
Seattle. The Meadows are the finest
fair grounds in Western Washington.
They have been used for racing for
some years and contain not only the
finest driving track in the state, but
building 300 feet long and 100 feet
wide, a living house and stables for
several hundred head of stock. There
is no reason to doubt that this fair
will be a success.
The trustees believe that unless
the fair should happen to strike a
week of rainy weather they will be
able to repay every dollar subscribed.

Trustees to Establish Hing County Fair

Arrangements for a King County
Fair to be held during the month of
September of the coming year, were
completed at a meeting held in Seattle
Tuesday, Feb. 6. Fifteen trustees we're
selected, officers elected and plans
laid out that should give King county
an agricultural and educational fair
second to none in the state. In fact
there is no reason 1t should not lead
all the fairs in the state for the simple
reason that it will be held in close
proximity to an enormous population.
TRUSTEES SELECTED.
The following trustees we're select
ed to take charge of the first fair:
d. McInnes, Seattle.
J. A. Pease, Seattle.
e. +. Sweeney, Seattle.

structed to prepare bylaws and
articles Of Incorporation and present
them to Prosecuting Attorney Murphy.
