THE EXHIBITS AT THE FAIR

From one end OF the main exhibit
hall to the other, at the Malheur
County Fair, the building is packed
with exhibits OF the prospects Of the
valley.
In point OF number, as we'll as in
the character OF the exhibits the dis
plays this year surpass by far fairs
OF recent year. Particularly Is this
true OF the Community exhibits In
which the race between Adrian, Nys-
sa and the Boulevard has resulted in
tho assembling OF the finnest the
valley produces.
This Is the real object OF the fair,
and having been given the promin-
ence II deserves Is bringing the an
nual exposition back TO It's own.
While everyone wants to be enter
tained during Fair week, and the
program before the grandstand Is ar
ranged for that purpose, yet after all
the County Fair Is primarily an ed
ucotlonal institution where by com
petition and by example OF what
others have done the average rancher
In stirred with n desire to better his
product. increase his own prosperity
and thus serve to Increase the wealth
OF the community as whole.
II is questionable how mucn the
usual ballyhoo feature such as carnl-
walls contribute 10 the attractive
power OF the Fair. Thru custom
they have grown 10 be larger part
than they should be In such gather
ings. Since the Fair this year Is a
success as an educational institution
without these inducements an object
lesson for future fairs Is given. "
II ~ determined that such attractions
the necessarily II will not be hard to
secure them in the future. The fact
tho tho carnival attraction billed for
Ontario failed In the Yakima valley
cannot bo charged against the Fair
board. They did their best to Sc
cure one, and had definite. assurance
OF the appearance OF every act billed.
but the peryerslty OF man cannot be
fore seen, always, and no blame
should attach 10 the management OF
the Fair for the absence OF the
carnival this week,

with the energy that Eastern Oregon
can produce when the time comes TO
act--well there is no limit to what
can be done.
And now is the time to act. We
have for the first time the spirit Of
cooperation rising in the willamette
Valley. The Eugene men and their
associates over there want the Natron
cutoff built. They want It to con-
meet with an east and west railroad
running from Ontario to Crane, and
a north and south railroad from The
Dalles to klamath. Are they dream
ing? No! Not at all.
Oregon is entitled to that much
consideration from the railroads.
They have been given substantial
rises in rates. The theory has been
established that railroad investments
are entitled to earnings on the funds
actually invested Then why not
proceed now to request, first per-
haps; but II that does not suffice, de-
mand, Of the railroads that they pro-
ceed to complete the system they
have started In the interior OF ore
gon?
That Is what the Eugene men pro-
pose to do They do not want, nor
should they be asked to do this alone.
They want the cooperation OF East
ern oregon. And they want It from
Ontario, from Vale, from Crane. from
Bursn, from klamath, Bend, aud
every interested community in East
ern oregon
They will get that cooperation.
They have the cooperation OF the up
