failSd to make his appearance as
prayed for by those who have In
charge the management of Lincoln
Courty's annual Festival show, a
considerable crowd Of people at
tended the fair on the opening day,
Wedne sday, and feasted their eyes
upon positively the greatest dis
play of farm products, Of all vari-
cites, purebred stock and other ex-
hibits of rare occasion than has
ever before been shown at any fair
in Lincoln county. Old-tlmers who
have attended every affair Of this
kind In the past proclaim this the
greatest of them all and any one
who has had the pleasure Of at
tending cannot help but whole
heartedly agree with them.
Exhibits Are Excellent.
Upon entering the large hall where
every sort of exhibit imaginable are
to be seen one is dumfounded at the
generous displays ana the perfect ord
or in which they are exhibited. Every
product of the farm is to be seen,
the competition is very keen and the
Judges will have a real io0 on their
hands in order to select the best.
Prominent Individual Displays.
Although it is impossible for US to
give a detailed account Of each and
every display in this issue neverthe-
less there are few individual dis
plays thet cannot be overlooked.
| w +. Wakefield Of Eddyville has an
exhibit o. apples that is credit to the
exhibit tables. showing apples of the
"Willow Twig" variety. One plate
picked last year at this time, are still
in perfect order and resemble apples
freshly picked. Mr.. Wakefield has no
cold storage but keep IS the apples in
an ordinary cellar.
Probably the most outstanding in
dividual display in the entire exhibit
room. and one that deserves much
credit because of the fact that the
man who raised it is rs years of age.
This exhibit covers one entire end of
the display room and has 125 differ
ent exhibits. The display is that Of
d. j. Derby of Yaquina.
Another creditable individual dis
play is that exhibited by Clifford
Wakefield Of Eddyville. This exhloi,
shows what can be done on Lincoln
county farms. There are 81 different
exhibits of every imaginable variety
of fruits. vegetables and especially
noticeable in this display is the won
derful variety of grains and grasses
Zeb Blower of Moody who. when ask
ed by member of The fair board to
bring in an exhibit, stated 81 haven't
anything to exhibit" has a display Of
farm products that would do credit
not only to the Lincoln county fair
but to any festival affair in the west.
Other displays of farm products that
were extremely noticeable to the writ
er were exhibits of S. W. Scoville of
Pioneer, Ore; l.. l.. Mcbride of Eddy

hundreds of other displays in this sam,
department that are certainly worthy
OF honorable mention and they will
be enumerated in next weeks issue.

table entered as an exhibit by Ken
