1T Is the eve Of the State Fair 0
Oregon. People are vending thei
n way here from Portland and Vale
from Medford and klamath and Tilla
NOOK. Footsteps are hurrying up anC
down the streets Of the tented city
The different counties are putting last
touches on the displays of grain and
fruit. Cattle and horses are being
groomed and sandpapered by busy at
PENDANTS Final nails are being driven
in improyised buildings. The dahlias
and asters are erect and smiling. The
rest room anticipates the fatigue Of
next week. Hark-only some dishes
falling in the lunch roomsl All is
hustle and delightful confusion at the
Fair grounds.
II has, in consequence been a quiet
week In social events in Salem. The
summer folk have returned from Cas-
cadia and Newport. No one is leaving
town; since, however many times one

is over. Guests are coming to some,
and there are the necessary prepara-
tions. The various organizations that
furnish lunches have been planning and
executing. Those who are engaged in
the work Of entertainment, and semi.
social activities, every moment of their
time has been taken up. II is our great
event and we are getting ready for It.
And as all work has progressed, so
has the musical work. McElroy's 's band
has been practising diligently, and with
it's distinguished members, looms large
in anticipation. In fact, ID is under.
stood that series Of programs has been
prepared, that has never been surpassed
in fair annals. Then too, the ladies,
doubles quartette and men's quartette
of Salem, the former having been pic.
tured last week, and the latter in this
Issue, have finished their labors and
are in readiness for the event. The
account Of their preparation, the devo.
ton with which they have practiced
would make a good story--but the sing.
ing next week win make n better story.
That they have planned with Judgment

The Portland band under direction of
