The Columbia County Fair was a success1. It was voted to be such by every jierson who visited the grounds. There were ex hibits from nearly every section of the county, with the exception of Rainier and the Nehalem val ley. Clatakanie was here with 'me livettock exhibits, but noth ing from the famous Pelta Gar dens, nor any of its fruit or dairjing products. Rainier was not represented. The portion of the county from Goble to St-appuoso was well represented by all kinds of exhibits. People from those districts which had no exhibits, as well as those from the districts represented, expressed themselves as well pleased with the fair, and think it should be Kn'atfr Bid better than ever next year. That is the spirit w hich will make of the fair a continued success and a fair such as it was and is in tended to be, a COLUMBIA COUNTY fair. Kach locality should bi. represented with some f its best products. It is a Rood dvertisemcnt for the county nd it provides a method for totter farming, better fruit rais In. better livestock. It stimu ates an interest by the producer 'n producing the best of every tt'ns:. It is a grand thing for the county and should betaken told of in earnest by people from evTy community. In addition the usual features of exhibit fo from farm and orchard uroduri ihm ...U,..l ....... . ... t,wl exruuitions are worth the time and expend! ture to the students. There is also an added zest in the pupils to have the best of everything. Keen competition makes better students and gives better results The same officers who handled the atrairs of the fair this year have been re elected. They have made a success and they are en titled to the fullest support cf the citizens, bo that the success of the first fair will b rnniinno.l for the second and third and rourth and all others to follow. On Tuesday, Nov. 4th thers will be held an election in Ore- gon for the purpose ot voting on several niearures which were re ferred to the people. Two of these measures so held up by the referendum are for the appro priations for building additional buildings at the University of Oregon. The University of Ore gon is recognized as one of the greatest educational institution in the west. It has been and is yet seriously handicapped for lack of funds with which to pro vide sufficient quarters for the various departments and it Beems that if the state is to maintain an institution which can be classed with like schools in other states that it should receive all the funds necessary for proper equip ment. The legislature passed these bills after a close personal investigation by the ways and means committee, and they were in much better position to know the needs than are a few sore heads from Portland who have been largely instrumental in hold ing up these appropriations and at the same time holding back the school. These two measures should by all means be approved by the people. The other three acts to be voted on under the referendum are the so-called Sterilization ActVhich author'zes the state ooard of health to order such surgical operations as they may deem necessary on habitual crim inals and sexual perverts; the courty attorney act which pro vides an attorney for each county instead of a district attorney with deputies for each county, and the Workmen's Compensation Act. Of these two acts not much is to be said as each individual voter is familiar with the present conditions. In this county there will also be on the ballot at this . .L - 1. Til .l K iV.A election me oiu iiasncu uj w last legislature which raised the salaries of the county officers, subject to the approval of the people. Of all these bills we will nave more to say later on, and before the election, but just now it would be a good idea for the voters to get hold of these bills and study them. Also to get in formation concerning the salar.es now paid to the county officers and the amount of work -equiiid by them, so that an idea could be formed before the time comes to vote as to whether or not the raises should be granted. Nearly all of these measures to be voted on are of coi.siderable import ance to the voters and should tx studied ckely.
