other the affair had been without
doubt failure, until the phrase,
'Thurston County Fair became a Jest
among our people.
in spite of this. believing that
Thurston county could successfully
hold a fair and believing that it is
the farmers of the county that should
be responsible for it, the Thurston
County Pomona Grange, being the
only countrywide farm organization,
decided to undertake the work this
year, and asked the subordinate
oranges and the farmers of the county
to get behind the organization il
financial way and to boost for a
county fair.
This was cone and each of the
subordinate oranges, either from
their treasury or by private subcsrip-
ton. raised the amount asked Of
them and the Pomona Grange took
what cash it had available, and with
this nucleus, amounting to about one
hundred and twenty-five dollars, we,
who had been asked by the Pomona
Grange to go ahead with the fair,
went to work to spend two or three
thousand dollars, believing that the
people Of the county would back US
I'D and see that we were able to pay
out.
Carlyon Grounds Free.
1--WE had no buildings, no grounds
in fact we had nothing on which to
base fair, but Mr.. Fred w. Carlyon
had a tract of land containing race
track, a grandstand and series of
stables for racing horses, and this he
offered to us free for the fair. We
accepted his offer and erected build
fngs and tents needed to house the
exhibits.
1--WE have been crowded for room
in some divisions, in others we might
have taken care of much more than
was offered. The people of the
county, to the EXTREMIST portions, re-
sponded nobly, especially where we
had farm organizations, and you have
seen the results.
1.-THE income from gate receipts
has gone far beyond our most san
guine hopes, the weather man has
been exceptionally good to us, in
spite of the lateness of the season, and
we now feel that we can come before
you, believing that we have, although
making many errors and showing an
utter lack OF experience (for none of
US except Mr.. Van Houten had ever
had any experience in managing
fairs), have demonstrated the fact
that we as county can hold q sue
cessful fair, and we are led to believe
that this fair should be followed by
such an event annually, and we be.

county Pomona Grange your support
and encouragement in the future.
for we believe that our organization
will decide to repeat this EFFORT IN
future years.
"But we feel that the success OF
our fair has been due, to a large ex-
tent, to the assistance given to US
by others outside of our organiza-
ton. First among these we must
name Mr.. George r. Walker. secre-
tary-manager of the Southwest Wash

SHUGRUE BEATS CROSS
Wins Easily From Leach, Who Tries
For Knockout

New York, Jan. 14.-Joe Shugrue
had picnic with Leach Cross at Madi-
son Square Garden last night. The Jer
sey boy outpointed Leach so far that
there wasn't any question as to who
had won. Only once was Joe sin dan
ger from the dentist s hard knocks. I'm
the secondround Leach caught Joe with
a brace of lefts and rights, and just
when it looked as if Shugrue was going
to go down for a little count Cross
rushed into clinch and held the Jer-
seyite up. Shugrue held on when he got
the chance, and by the time Gross had
broken away Joe's head was clear
again.
Cross went into the ring with one
idea. He wanted to put Shugrue out
with single punch. He spent three
fourths of his valuable fighting time
trying to reach Joe s chin, but Shugrue
was never in better form, and he play
ed with the hard hitting East Slider
