HAW FEATURES GREATEST FAIR COUNTY HAS HAD NOW IN FULL BLAST FOR WEEK CROWDS SWARM THROUGH GROUNDS All Points of Interest Attract the Pop illation of (Many Towna of 8tats Diaplaya Ara Large ; CANBY, Ore., Sept 24. From the" home-grown peanuts in tha Juvenile division, to the mysterious- roaring beaatle that waa the chief feature of tbe aideahowB, the seventh annual Clackamaa County fair waa ready for visitors Wednesday when the gatea of tbe grounds at,Canby were thrown open. ; Whl e tbe early part of the day waB utilized by a few of tbe exhibiura in putting tbe finishing touches upon tneir d splays, tbe exbitlta for tbe most part wers all In place ami ar ranged before the opening. The only real exceptlon.to thia waa the showing of the Oregon City Commercial club, for which apace had been reaarved, and which waa represented solely by A DISPLAYED apace Big Attendance. According to Secretary M. J. Lee, of the fair association, who waa ev erywhere about the grounds at once, and who waa one of tbe busiest'of the officials, the opening day attendance waa beyond expectations, and estab lished a record for the grounds. Late in the evening Mr. Lee estimated that between 1,100 and 1.500 persona had passed through tha gatea. Aside from -ihtae there were probably two acore, tenta in tbe free camp grounds adjoin- ' lng the fair acrea, and in thesa tenta were many vacationists who will spend the balance of the week increaaing the throngs who will swell the totaj at tendance recorda for the year. Milk Testing. Aaide from the milk teating demon atratlon Wednsaday morning the open ing day of the fair waa purposely left devoid of special featurea by the dl records, bo that vlaltora would have opportunity to obaerve the great va- ri2ty of diaplaya on hand. Thla proved to be a wise arrangement for there waa ao much to see that there would have been time for no apecial features. Not only were there all tne usual features to' be found at county falra, but there were novelties distinct ly worth while. Among such may be menuonea me npnut olants grown to maturity by children of the Canby school district, the beautifully decorated booth of Warner grange, with Its representative display of trulls, graina and vege tables; the handiwork of the school children fthe varioua communities throughout the county, grouped on tne second floor of the main pavilion in a monster Juvenile fair; the striking automobile display of the Miller-Parker company of Oregon City, a unique showing well arranged; the plates of black and golden-brown corn, peneci in form and graining and odd only In color; black potatoes, which though not tempting in appearance have tne.r uses, and a host of other Clackamaa county wondera. Flag Decorations Rising above the exhibits on every hand, and acting as a pleasing back ground to the array of agricultural producta, were the decorations of flags bunting and ahields. The ahields, many of which bore animal heads, bore In golden letters the legend, "Welcome to Clackamaa County," and were typical of the spirit of the fair. Many of the booths were draped with crepe paper, curtains or sheaves of grain in combinations that made aii especial appeal to the eyea of those who were artistically inclined- In fact the decorations were "worth the price of admlaalon alone," aa aome of the visitors Bald. Library Haa Diaplay. One display that attracted much at tention was that of the Oregon Li brary commlaslon, which is endeavor ing to arouse Intereat in the rural dla tricta In circulating libraries which will be sent out from, varioua county centers. The plan being boosted at the CaJiby fair will add but a fraction of a mill to the general tax, and will place within reach of even the most Lnlated farmer the best reading of the world today and, the beat writings of the classical authors. Poultry Exhibit In threa or four pavilions to the east of the race track, where dally speed conteata are held, are the displays of poultry and liveatock. Theae attracted .v.nrhmlv who visited tbe fair. Some folk paid more attention io me thai filled two of the barns, whte others seemed to find taore that wai worth seeing in the displays oi Dioooeu dairy and farm atock. There is on view, however, enough for all.
