iastic, the last ,of the kind before the
big fair. A large delegation was ex
nectlng to go from The DaIles to the
Sherman county far Friday, this day
being set aside as Wasco county dav.
Among other important subjects dis
cu>sed was the plan for securing the
old fair grounds and making it per-
manent place for exhibit and fair pur-
poses, the erection of suitable build
ings, etc. The location would be ideal,
considering the fact of the present
nicely paved roadway on the south,
and the Columbia Highway on the
north side of the tract. the safe en-
trance and exit of large crowds would
be assured. This seems splendid
idea to keep circulating and as the
county seat is the proper place for the
grounds, let US hope that the plans
work out success fully.
Mrs. j. W. Blakley. who had been

south of Mosier. Funeral services
were held Sunday afternoon at The
Dalles.
Truly, amusing Incidents do happen,
and even in these days of swift coming
and going there is time occasionally to
note few in passing. For instance,
at the uncanny hour of 2 O'Clock on a
recent morning the keeper of a way
side inn was aroused by a masculine
voice inquiring for the whereabouts of
a garage man, stating that his fiivver
was stranded high on the mountain
side, where it had been left with the
wife and lady friend. while he of the
voice sailed forth in search of expert
assistance which was necessary before
the travellers could progress. Upon
being advised of the impossibility of
securing help at such an hour the in
quirer moved on. About two hours
later the inn keeper was aroused again
by the same party, who explained that
he had spent the intervening:time try.
ing to find some help and as he had
had no sleep for the past few nights he
would like to get room and bed, leav-
ing orders to call him at s a. m. For
short time quietness reigned About
the usual hour of arising the inn keep
er heard footsteps pacing back and
forth outside the building. Upon look
ing out lady was seen anixously look
ing up and down the highway who re-
marked that she was looking for her
husband who had come to get help sew
eral hours previous. Just imagine Mr..
Man up stairs calmly and peacefully
snoozlng and those anxious ladies with
the stranded flivver looking for his re-
turn every moment. Well. indeed 1t
is a strange world and queer people
in it.
