Display Grounds. The prize exhibits of the state" fair at Salem will make up a part of the exh.ibit at the Multnomah County fair t Gresham the week of October 4, according to announcement yesterday of C L. Minton, manager. A special freight train will run from Salem to Gresham at the close of the state fair and will carry many carloads of ex hibits including the choicest exhibits of land products, stock, etc. This arrangement, which is some thing new and novel, has been made by Mr. Minton and A. H. Lea of the State Fair association. The train will arrive at Gresham Sunday morning in time to permit the placing of the ex hibits in spaces previously arranged. This is the first time in the history of the Multnomah county fair that exh'bits entered have exceeded the available space. Heretofore the Mult nomah county fair dates preceded the state fair, 'and as a result many of the exhibtors anxious to show at the state fair failed to enter in the Mult nomah county fair. In order to obtain choice entries this year the board of directors of the Multnomah county fair set the dates of the Gresham fair from October 4 to i. Speedy automobrte .races will be the feature at the fair on the first (two days, according to Manager Minton. Such races are made possible through the establishment of a dirt track cir cuit throughout the Pacific nortn west. a circuit which has drawn the entrju of the fastest dirt automobile racing cars in the country. The Gresham track is said to be ex ceptionally well adapted to automo bile races and it is believed that the, auto contests, for which $5000 in purses have been provided, will prove a stellar attraction. In addition to the automobile races fast harness and running races will be provided. Again the setting of the dates of the Multnomah county fair following the state fair has been val uable, for many of the fastest horses in the west will be seen In action at Gresham during the fair week. H. A. Lewis, president of the Mult nomah county fair is enthusiastic over the outlook for a successful fair in Gresham this year. Every indica tion, says President Lewis, points to a wonderful fair, for we already have assurance of a wide 'variety . of the best exhibits as well -'as the best amusements that can be found, and are certain that the attendance rec ords of the pa will be shattered this year. v . In addition to the usual fair at tractions arrangements, have been completed for the staging of the man ufacturers and land products show at Gresham in conjunction with-the fair. This is certain to attract widespread attention because the majority of Ore gon manufacturers have arranged for unusual exhibits. It is announced. , . t SHERMAN COUNTY GAINING Increase ot 34.46 Per Cent Shown in 1920 Assessment Roll. MORO, Or., Sept. 25. (Special.)
