T. Cochran 6poke on "Fair Exhibits," and suggested that one sure way of making a success was by sending a committee out and talk ing it up with the producers. T. A. Rlnehart was given the sub ject: "The Old and the Modern Fair". Any one who has ever attended one of our fairs that we held several years ago would not question but what Mr. Rlnehart had been there also. The way that he pictured the gambling games, the bar room carousals and flocks of tin horn gamblers that al ways followed the races as the chief attraction offered, in contrast with what the people of this age expected, was simply in line with our moral pro- pathy with the present fair move ment and was certain that we would meet with hearty support from all sections of the country. Thomas McConnell who for over half a century has been no small fac tor in the upbuilding of the west, re sponded to the invitation and dwelt upon the necessity of the transporta tion problem. 11i$ personal observa tions as related were interesting and received marked attention. Mr. Gaines of Pendleton also spoke on the transportation question. He has given this subject years of in vestigation and understands the rights of both the common carrier and the public. Attorney W. B. Sargent closed the program with an explanation of what the executive committee estimated would be required to successfully launch the fair and at the expiration of his remarks the subscription pa per for stock was liberally signed and the greater portion of the $5,000 stock was taken. The finance committee will follow this up and close the financial part of the undertaking during the next few days. All that is necessary In the future is to announce that a banquet i3 com ing and the guests will be there. f We Want Your Wants ". : : 1 IN Our Want Ad Column Your want is placed before a thousand or morefTwant-seeker tvery day Can you afford tcspend one cent perord of your want au wheie results art the keynote?

H 0 County Fair" Was Keynote of All The Addresses. s A land office contest case of no par ticular unusual features Is on at the land office today in which the govern nient through its attorney W. K. West is trying to prove that a tract of land in Wallowa county filed upon by a man named Brown as a timber and stone claim, was occupied previously by a squatter named J. J. Hamblin. A portion of the testimony was taken at Enterprise some time ago, and now C. H. Finn who is the attorney for the defendant, has come to La Grande to Introduce his testimony, and the gov ernment will review Its former testi mony and introduce new stuff, too. In all about 8 wilnesses will be heard and the case will probably be concluded this evening.
