FAIR PLAN is FORMULATED
Southwest Washington Counties to
Profit by New Law.

Chehalis = Lewis county commits
sioners held a meeting here to discuss
with the commissioners of adjoining
counties that are members of the
Southwest Washington Fair organiza-
ton the matter of all uniting in con-
Quoting the fair as provided for by the
new law transferring control to the
counties.
Commissioners Rulifson, Jabusch
and Smith, of Cowlitz county were
present, as was also C. N. Wilson,, one
of the Chehalis county board. THURS
ton and Pacific counties had sent as
surances that they likely would d ONE
in on the new plan.
The law will not become effective
until June, but meantime Secretary
George R. Walker is proceeding with
the executive work for making the
1913 fair the biggest and best yet.
The plan as outlined, if carried into
effect, probably will result in an added
impetus in working up successful
fair in each county of the district,
which comprises Lewis, Chehalis, Pa
cific, Thurston, Cowlitz and Wahkla-
KUN counties. 1t is believed that an
arrangement will be worked out
whereby each county will put an ac-
tive, capable field man on the job for
three or four months during the spring
and summer season, whose business it
will be to interest farmers, fruitgrow-
ers and others in fair exhibits. The
exhibits thus worked up can be utilized
for the local county fairs and the best
of them also placed in the Southwest
Washington fair.
In addition to the attractive purse
of 5000 hung up for the best individ-
ual farm exhibit it is also proposed to
put up county purse of 500 for the
best county exhibit outside of Lewis
county, with second prize of cash.
The Southwest Washington Fair
grounds are located midway between
Chehalis and Centralia.

Reardan-While A. C. Davis and
hired men were in the timber few
days ago to fell some trees they came
to large pine that was dead, and
discovered in its top number of
holes. On falling the tree there was
found large swarm of bees, together
with large quantity Of fine honey.
It is seldom that bees lodge in pine

with their habits.

Cold Rain Worries Farmers.

Colfax-Steady, cold, drizzling rain
has been falling here. Much concern
is felt on the part Of farmers on ac-
count of the backward spring work.
1t has been only in the last week that
the ground has been sufficiently dry to
work, the late heavy SHOWS filling the
ground with moisture, and many farm
ers fear that spring work will be de-
layed SO long that serious consequences
may arise.
