Perry Mitchell on this committee
from Yachats and Tom Horning OF
Otter Rock but we are having one
awful time to get anyone from Wald.
port and Newport.
1t is the intention Of the board to
have cold storage show case provid-
ed with plenty of ice for this dis
play.
Won't some one as committee
from Waldport and Newport please
volunteer. YOU ship the gods. we
will do the rest.
| Flowers.
Mrs. Peter Frederick, superinten.
dent of this exhibit, has sent letters
to all parts of the county and is de.
termined to make this THE exhibit OF
the fair. We are confident that this
will be the best display of beautifuN
flowers Of the county ever exhibited
and will be well worth the price OF
admission.
Baking.
Miss Vernie Ross has again taken
charge of the baking department and
we know that the brilliant success
of last year is to be repeated There
is no department that has so many
special prizes offered by wholesale
and retail houses. The entire last
two pages of the catalogue are filled
with them.
If you can bake good bread, cake,
pie or, in fact, anything in the pastry
line Miss Ross will find you out, so
you might as well report at once.
! Sports.
For the first time in its history the
fair board. through Superintendent
Ford Of the sports department, has
attempted to put on a program Of
sports for our common school and
high school pupils, offering prizes for
each event. The out door basketball
games should be os great interest
to all and we are sure that the vari-
Gus races will create keen competi-
tion between the school districts.
Mr. Ford has enlisted the services
of Prof. Shave and this alone spells
success. See the list of sports prizes
in the Fair Catalogue.
Canning.
Mrs. w. T. Ball. supt. Of this de-
partment, who so ably came to our
assistance last year. expects to have
large display and keen competition
in spite of the backward season and
early dates Of the fair.
The special prizes offered by Mr.
Gildersleeve, listed in the last pages
of the catalogue, in addition to those
offered by the fair board should bring
cut the best in Lincoln County.
Textiles.
We cannot remember any fair
where Mrs. Norman Sherwood has
NO. taken IN active part in this ex-
hibit and as superintendent this year
We are expecting wonderful display
in her department.
Mrs. Sherwood has revised the pre-
MUM list Of this department bringing
it more up to date. L. is unfortunate 3
that in some of the books the prem
ium pages are slightly misplaced
some being distributed before the
error in gathering was noticed. This
exhibit should be interesting to us
men from the fact that it Will show
as the finished product of what hao
been carried around in these work
Dcgs b. cur wives when making So
ci:,l calls.
Indian Exhibit.
Who should be more competent to
take charge Of the Indian exhibits
than Dr. Franklin Carter. This dis
play will be hummer.
Under this head, we are informed,
Mrs. Copeland Of Newport has con-
sented to exhibit her wonderful co.
lection of Indian baskets. Everyone
in Oregon has heard OF this famous
collection and We are now to see it
in public for the first time.
DR.. Carter informs us that Siletz
is much interested this year and has
already asked for more space than we
had allotted to them.
This department is under the guar,
dianship of our efficient county super
intendent Of schools, Mr.. r. P. Coin.
Pair boards may come and fair
boards may go but Superintendent
Coin. by virtue Of the law and his
position, is always vice president of
the board.
Here is the department we are
much interested in. You can enter
anything from lace handkerchief to
live bear, just so long as you at
tend public school, and If you don't
win then you can enter the sports,
which are also for the youngsters.
Supt. Coin expects competition
from every school district in the
county. This should be good
