The program for the Second An
nual Fair is rapidly taking shape and
by the end of this week will be
practically completed as to the exact
time and date.
Secretary Smead informs us that
the State Board of Horticulture will
hold its meeting during one of the
days of the fair. The exact date has
not yet been set. Every fruit grower
in Morrow county is invited and urg-
ed to be present at this meeting. Sew
eral men, prominent in the fruit
growing industry of Oregon will be
here, and some excellent addresses
and lectures will be given.
The Oregon Social Hygiene Society
have written this week asking the
Fair management that space be re-
served for them, for their travelling
exhibit. This exhibit is said to be
educative and attractive.
On Friday, the 18th, Judge Gal
loway, democratic nominee for the
Oregon Supreme bench, and Hon. r.
A. Booth, republican candidate for
United States senator, will address
the Morrow county pioneers. Both
of these men are Oregon pioneers
and their reputation as public speak
ers has already been established.
The Fair Board feel that they are
fortunate in being able to secure
these men for Pioneers Day.
A special train will be run from
lone on Friday and Saturday, the
last two days of the fair. The train
will leave Heppner for the return
trip at II midnight. On the local
train an extra coach will be pro-
vided during the three days.

The fair management expects a
much larger attendance this year
than last and is making preparations
accordingly to take care of the vis-
itors. All rooms for rent are being
listed with the secretary. Henry
Vance has this matter in his charge
and he has established headquuar-
ters at the Palace hotel. If anyone
has rooms for rent that have not yet
been listed, they should notify the
secretary at Fair headquarters at
once.
Like last year, the baby show will
again be one of the leading features
of the fair. The judges have not
been selected, but probably will be
within the next few days. We are
informed that the system of scoring
will be the same as that used in the
Better Babies contests. conducted by
the Womans Home Companion. The
test will not be as severe as the one
last year.
The Baby Show will be on the
first day of the fair, Thursday, Sept.
II at 2:30 p. m. All entries should
be made promptly. The prizes will
be first and second, and will consist
of gold and silver baby cups of neat
design.
Arrangements are being made in
Pendleton to send special train to
Heppner for one day of the fair.
Judge Gilbert w. Phelps has charge
of the proposition and we can con-
fidently expect large delegation of
Pendleton business men here for 4
part of the big events at least Many
of our citizens are writing to friends
in Pendleton, urging them to come
and bring as many of their friends
as possible.
