Gates Swing Open at Noon on Partial
ly Arranged Exhibits Because Out
of Town Communities Were In Some
Doubt About the Progress of the
Fair on Account of Rain Storms.
Rain or no rain, the industrial ex
hibits at the Union county fair which
opened at noon today, are of the high
est quality, and plentiful in quantity.
The prolonged rain had created a state
of indecision all over the valley, and
the Imbler community exhibits did
not reach the city until this afternoon
and will be tastily arranged by tomor
row morning. The Union stock ex
hibits were delayed in transit but the
Union people telephoned their- start
ing hour to the fair management this
morning and the 40 odd stalls that the
Union stock show 'is to fill, will be
crammed with stock by some hour late
this afternoon. The Union school ex
hitrft, which is reputed to be an ex
ceptional one, was started La Grande
ward this morning when it was known
that the industrial phase of the fair
was to be carried out, rain or shine.
The same was true of the Cove school
exhibit, and by working extra shifts
the management -will have everything
in inspection shape by the time the
gates open tomorrow on the second
day of the fair. The local schools and
academies already have pretty exhib
its in the pavilion, and Superintend
ent Schilke of the children's depart
ment has a big corps of assistants ar
ranging the splendid artistic exhibits.
The women's department under Sup
erintendent Rosenbaum, is likewise
well filled up, and races or no, the
pavilion will.be worth the price of ad
mission during the week. The round
ing out process was not finished at
the noon hour as was hoped for the
rain is to blame. There will be nothing
left undone toihorrow morning, how
ever, k

. try department has been housed in
the pavilion and was given a far great

Appeal for OutsideHelp Meets With
Prompt Response.
Nome, Alaska, Oct 8. Some pro
gress has been made in the task of
reconstructing the wrecked city of
Nome. With a scarcity of supplies,
however, will prevent any great im
provement in the situation until re
lief arrives from outside. Response to
appeals for aid by Mayor Jones, are
being received with the assurance that
everything needed will be sent at
once. Many citizens who lost every

- Albany, Oct : 8. Governor Sulzer
showed signs of extreme nervousness
today and friends are worried by the
fears that he will suffer a complete
breakdown. Lawyers are trying to
persuade him not to take the stand
in his own behalf but he is obstinate.
Under cross examination Louis Sa re

forced into further and somewhat
damaging admissions but his is still a
good witness for the .defense Ui the
extent, that he held to the story that
he and not the governor ..should be
