gae, and the great, flaring circus post.
ers confronted us with their man eat
ling lions, and train-moving elephants
end mass of extravaganza entice-
ments, we wondered if the show would
begin to come up to the propaganda,
and we invariably found it wouldn t..
But the record which win be writ
ten next Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day by the Lewis County Farm
Bureau Fair and Stock Show at this
place will be different The facts
presented will exceed the advertising,
if the weather man is in an agreeable
mood, and there is promise that he
will be. The management is working
overtime to make this the greatest
fair the prairie ever witnessed, and
promised entries assure the largest and
finest display of livestock made this
season at any point in the Northwest.
This latter assertion seems quite
broad and it does take in much terri
tory, but those who saw the Spokane
Lewiston, Yakima and other fairs
state that if the live stock promised
for the Lewis County exhibition is all
brought in, the other displays come in,
for second place.
For instance, there will be so pens
of hogs here, hundred head of blood
cd cattle, good bunch of sheep and
a string of the finest horses in the
country. 1t has been found that the
barn and shed room is quite made
quate and new housings are being
built, including a 40x6O permanent
she'd for the hog exhibit.
Connected with the quarter-mile
show ring and roping arena, all in
closed with heavy eft. wire fence,
are large pens especially constructed
and arranged for the proper handling
Of the show and bucking animals \
patterned after the Pendleton Round |
Up grounds. Proper enclosures arei
provided at all points, SO that the
spectators will be amply protected.
In the way of entertainment, each
lay will be full to overflowing with
Dig and little thrillers of the latest
approved pattern. The Midway con-
.essions, including big, trackless
merry -go-round, are all taken up.

ECONOMIST BLAMES U. s.
FOR RAIL DEPRESSION

The Government today was blamed
for railroad depression by c. S. Dun
can, expert economist, testifying be-
fore the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee.
Duncan declared the Government
had increased railroad wages in July
1890, when all other industries were
effecting reductions in wages and
in the midst of a period OF deflation.
Wholesale prices broke in May
1920, and retail prices in June, but
the Government increased railroad
wages in July. Notwithstanding that
the period OF deflation had already
started" said Duncan. The hand
leap proved too great for even the
largest roads"

wU PEI FUS HEADQUARTERS,
PAO, TING FLU, China. May Al.
though the armies of WI Pei Flu are
now within fifteen miles of Peking,
no attack on the capital city is
planned by Central China's great
war lord. Wu's forces are engaged
in two great strategic campaigns.
The first is the complete domina-
ton of the Picking Tien Tsin rail
road. A strong mass attack is in
progress midway between Peking and
Tien Tsin with a view to wrestling
control Of this important railroad
from the forces of Chang Tso-Lin
Today Chang Tso-Lin's forces re-
treated ten. miles without resistance.
AT the same time five cruisers
are proceeding from Shanghai
carrying a full army brigade to
be landed five miles from the Tien
Tsin-Mukden railroad. The purpose
OF this move Is to encircle Chang's
rear and cutt off his retreat to his
home province OF Msnchuria and at
the same time prevent supplies and
munitions from being rushed up
from his Mukden arsenals and
storehouses.
Control OF these two railroads is
imperative TO Wu's plan of cam
paign and every effort is being
made to carry these detectives.
Hulitoa is expected TO be the
landing place selected for the force
seeking TO cut off the Manchurfan
Tuchun's retreat. Heavy fighting
is expected and the landing forces
will be supported by the guns of
the cruisers which will cover the
landing.
The Presbyterian mission hos
pital at Rao Ting Flu is being con.
verted into a Red Cross hospital
for the care of the wounded of
both sides.

hanced by the recent capture OF a
whole Chinese Republic war fleet
by a squadron OF insurgent South
Chinese sirplanes. This spectacular
victory for the airships was look
ed upon as forecasting the sea bat
