On Tuesday, Sep. 27, just a dozen
days off, Whatcom County's big an
maui fair will open for five day dis
play of the products of the splendid
farms of the section
Pronounced last year by the ex-
perts who made the fair circuit as the
best county exhibition in Washing
ton, the fair at the Lynden grounds
this year will come up to that high
mark again, if the efforts of a score
of directors and superintendents can
make it.
Each year has seen some important
improvement to the Fair Grounds.
and this year will be no exception.
Various departments are being i'm
proved, but the most important ad-
dition is the erection of a new build
ing SO X 100 to house the automobile
and machinery exhibits. This is 60
ing up just west of the big Manufact-
ures Building
Forecasts of entries in all depart
ments are promising. but especially
in the poultry division is the interest
keen. superintendent Harry Beer
mink and Ray Slade have already re-
ceived several hundred entries, and
they are coming in daily. Harry H.
Collier, veteran Judge, will come ov-
er to Lynden from the State Fair,
where he is superintendent of the
poultry department, to judge the
Whatcom County birds.
Exhibits of agricultural products
in the school division, and canning
and other club contests, promise to
attract more attention than ever. The
Bellingham schools are taking a re-
newed interest in the fair this year,
and will close Thursday to permit all
pupils to attend. The Bellingham
schools will enter exhibits, and will
receive special awards. County in
stitutions will be closed Friday as
usual
Entertainment features will be
many and varied at the Fair this
year. The biggest ferris wheel in
the state will be on the grounds, Da-
vid Logg will be there with his aer-
'oplane stunts, and there will be host
of things in the way of races and
demonstrations and sports under way
all the time.
A fast racing program is promised
for each day of the fair. A score of
grounds, and there will be plenty of
speedy running stock there before
opening day. The fair board has
provided fat purses for the program
each day.

PLAN FOR VOTE ON
UNION HIGH SCHOOL
Directors of Districts Meet and Start
Movement Officially; Election To
Be Held December 8

Preliminary plans for an election
December to vote on a union high
school were made Monday evening
at meeting in Lynden of repres-
entatives of nine adjoining school
districts.
At the call of the Lynden school
board, the directors from Northwood,
Sunshine, Delta, North Prairie, I'll
mon, Riverside and Greenwood con-
vened at the high school, and dis
cussed the union high school idea,
and made plans to put the matter
before the people. Glendales board
was not represented at the meeting,
but the district will take part in the
election.
Petitions to be signed by at least
five taxpayers will be circulated in
each district calling for the election
and these will be submitted to the
county superintendent for approval
Following this, the election will be
called. Meetings to explain the plan
will be held in each district prior to
the election.
The meeting Monday night voted
to form the union high school dis
trict, if five or more out of the nine
districts included vote favorably on
the plan.
At the present time, each district
that does not have a high school is
paying a 2-mill tax that is distribut-
ed among the high schools of the
county. On voting a union high
school, this two mill tax will be dis
continued. With many districts in
cluded in the union high school sys-
TEN, the cost of the central high
school will be distributed over the
entire enlarged district.
The chairman of each school board
will serve as a member of the high
school board; the grade school sup
ervision and financing would not be
affected, each district taking care of
it's own grade school in its own way
While at present they are sending
students to the high school with no
control over the supervision of the
institution, under the new plan the
districts would have a voice in the
management.
The petitions specify that the Lyn-
den district must take care of the
bond issue and Indebtedness on the
high school so that this will not be
passed on to the enlarged district.
At the present time, Lynden is
educating high school students from
outside districts at considerable
loss; unless some method can be de-
vised to relieve the district of this
burden, the Lynden board has voted
to charge tuition to all outsiders.

Gen. Morris and the Lake.


Gen. T. o. Morris arrived Tuesday
from DyeroburG, where he had been
for two weeks attending Circuit
Court. Says the docket was heavy
and q great deal of work completed,
eight prisoners being sent to the
penitontiary and IA to the work
house. He furnished The CONNER
cial with a statement concern
ing Reelfoot Lake and the
the so-called lake drainage. He is
interested in the lake and country
surrounding knows its history and
is thoroughly familiar with condi-
tions there, and what he has to say
at this time is very interesting read
ing. Says Gen. Morris:
"Reelfoot Lake is not being drain
ed. Owing to the long drought over
the Lake watershed, and to the heavy
evaporation during hot weather the
lake is low, but it has been lower on
many occasions. The lake is fed by
sloughs and creeks which drain a
considerable area and this area has
had very little rain for a considerable
length of time. The evaporation in
the lake during hot weather is very
great and accounts for the present
water level of the lake. The lake
now is falling very, very slowly. The
drainage ditch at the south end is
not the cause of the low lake. Before
this ditch was cut the lake had four
outlets, Broad Slough, Grassy Slough,
Black Bayou and Box Slough, Three
of these outlets have been closed, and
the last one, Black Bayou, which is
now open will be closed in few
days. After \the closing Of BLACK
Bayou the water of the lake will
pass over the spillway and will De
held at steady level the year round.
The State officials in Nashville are
fully aware of conditions at Reelfoot
and have sent engineers to the lake
to get the exact situation. They are
looking after the lake and there is
no occasion for anyone to be alarmed.
There never was any occasion for
the recent, agitation of the matter. =
AS seen in an item on the fourth page
we were informed that General Nor
'ris had gone to Nashville on matters
concerning the lake. This seems to
be a mistake.

efforts to get money have failed-
The United States Housing corpora

that It would pay, but that 1t does
not have the money. What funds
were at hand for such disburse-
ments went back into the general
fund a year ago, and cannot be re-
apportioned for such payment.
The corporation also says that

Graham Working On Case.
Congressman W. J. Graham has
been working on the case for some
time. He has introduced a bill pro-
posing that the United States con-
gress appropriate money to pay
throughout the entire country such
bills held against the United States
Housing corporation as the one
held in Rock Island.
Congressman Graham on recent
visit here told city officials that he
expects to have a conference in
Washington on this case some time
next week, and that he expects to
obtain passage of the bill.
Another feature OF the present
case is that purchasers of govern
ment homes who paid their taxes
are now wondering if they can gain
refund from the county. This is
held to be impossible, although the
city last year refunded its share OF
such taxes, as it had received
money two years in succession
from the housing corporation in
lieu OF the taxes. With the corpora
ton now saying that it cannot pay
the paving installments the city
officials are wondering if the cor
poration will be able to pay a sum
next spring in lieu of the taxes due
