Tygh Valley Dressed in "Glad Rags" and Bright with Electric Lights
Assures Good Time to all Visitors at the Fair Now in Progress
Wild West and Other Features Will Entertain Crowds
Tygh Valley, Sept. 15
Our little city looks this
afternoon like a county seat
on circus day, with a good
old fashioned country fair
added. The grounds and
buildings are in perfect con
dition and all ready for the
big crowds that will com
mence to arrive tonight.
In fact a number of gay
parties are already ' on the
grounds. An occasional
camping outfit and party
are dotting the camping
grounds with their tempor
ary homes assuring success
to the efforts of the man
agement which has done
everything possible for per
fect conditions upon and
about the fair grounds.
The second annual Southern
Wasco Fair is going to be a
success, the biggest success
of any thing in the way of
entertainment ever offered
or undertaken here.
Ths wild west feature of the fair
will be a Bcream. You don't need
to go to the seat of war In Europe
to find excitement, or to the much
advertised Wild West shows In dis
tant towns to see real horse and bull
riding by the best riders In this part
of the country. The best riders and
tho wildest horses will he here and
perform during the three day of
the fair. You can see a ItEAL wild
west show right here at the home of
the cow boy and the bucking
broncho,- where both have received
their schooling and where both are
at their best There will be no In
human "stunts" but the wild west
performances will be thrillers. A
special arena has been Just com
pleted for these performances.
Exhibit buildings and covered
sheds for displaying and taking care
of agricultural exhibits and live
stock are all in readiness. Exhibits
are beginning to arrive In a manner
that is most . gratifying. It appears
that there will be entries in every
class of atttbtt.'--""' f-
The camping grounds tire a regu
lar picnic place. Tbey have been
cleaned and prepared with especial
care. If there were no other at
traction here It would be a splendid
vacation to come and camp In our
splendid park. The grounds as well
as the town will hi brilliantly Illum
inated with electric lights. Res
taurants, lunch counters, Ice crtam
stands, confectionary stands have
been arranged for In abundance, and
it is possible that good old fashioned
circus lemonade will be purchasable.
A twenty piece band will be on tap
at all times and will furnish the best
of up-to-date music as well as all
the old favorite pieces An old
fashioned bowery dance will be In
progress each night, when the 6est
of dance music will be furnished.
A rest room and every thing for the
especial comfort of the ladle have

day nights Is attracting much atten
tion. Tygh Valley people have es
tablished a reputation in Southern
Wasco County as amateur perfor
mers. And with the training they
have had and the excellent piece
