The fortune of the 11125 county

Ihn state legislature now In ses

Is awaited with keen litforost by
the board and others Interested,
states a local newspaper. A. C
Miller went to Halom to keep
track of legislation affecting the
fair, and he will not ret'jrn for
several days.
The legislature two years ago
made generous appropriations to
many Oregon district and county
fairs and other shows. To tho
Union stock show, $:iooo a year
was given, and others fared hand
somely. Komi' are fairs In small
towns, with limited premium lists

was said, nothing was asked. That
was substantially tho explanation
Of Governor Pierce and of Hcna
or Bruce Dennis, when they were
asked the reason for the discrim

backers concluded they would nut
bo at fault again. Secretary Mil
