manufactured in his shop in this
city. Mr.. Nobls gave demonstra-

and he has established reputation
which extends all over the Northwest.

NJ l.. Case was another enterpris-
ing Heppner business man who
maintained a booth in the pavilion.
Here he displayed rugs, 'and COM
plete furnishing for kitchen. Mr..
Case said he could furnish every
thing but the girl. Next to the
Case Furniture booth was the dis
play of the Singer Sewing Machine
J Co., which kept Singer machine in
motion constantly by means Of an
electric motor. The man in charge
said he would guarantee that the
machine would run day and night at
that speed for ten years without
wearing out. He did some fancy
work with the machine and then to
test its staying qualities, ran thick
piece of leather through without
breaking the needle or stopping the
machine.
The Heppner Light & Water Com
pany had an expert man in charge
of their demonstrating booth. Here
were electric ranges, iron, wash tub,
etc. The electric range, which sells
for sos, was baking biscuits for the
Golden West Coffee man, and the
biscuits fairly melted in your mouth.

played their Columbia monographs
and graphonolas. These instruments
range in price from $25 upwards and
the music which they are capable of
bringing forth is classic. The visit
ors to this booth were entertained
with various selections.
Cummings Has Complete Display.
Harry Cummings had a full and
complete display from his nurseries
and gardens, but was unfortunate
in not getting some of his stuff on
the books and therefore failed in
getting all the ribbons he was enti-
tied to. The display he made, how
ever, was large and varied; he had
one entire table filled with dahlias,
and there were roses in great varie-
ty and beauty, as well as many other
blooming flowers and pot plants.
In fruits, Mr.. Cummings displayed
about everything on the list and he
| nad many varieties OF vegetables.
A crate of Late Crawford peaches
was perhaps the finest of that var
iety displayed. This was one of the
exhibits he failed to enter, and con-
seQuently it was overlooked in the
scoring by the judges. Some mag
nificent boquets of flowers in this
display caused the visitor to wonder
how flowers of such beauty could be
grown here, but Mr. Cummings has
no particular difficulty in their pro-
duction and fine boquet can be
gathered at his gardens most any
time of the year.
A Domestic Display.
An exhibit worthy of more than
passing notice was that made by
Mrs. w. P. Scrivner, of Heppner
Mrs Scrivner is an enthusiast over
the fair and one of its best boosters,
and to fully qualify her apprecia-
tion of the event she prepared and
had on exhibit splendid domestic
display. This consisted of bakings
of breads and cakes, jellies, canned
