CROOK COUNTY
ANNUAL FAIR
Closed Saturday, Oc
tober 14.
GOOD AGRICULTURAL DISPLAY
The Exhibit of Morse, Sheep
and Hog Better Than
Usual.
The ('rood County Fair, which
closed Saturday, 1 now a matter
ol history.
While pome ol it departments
were not up to ftnilarJ, yet taken
a a whole, it showed progress all
along lint line.
In the home division there were
a good many entries in almost
every class, The stall of thta draft
stock were all filled and cotnpe
tltion in the drift stallion class
wai kein. First honorit were car
ried off ly S, J, Clemens' Shire
horse.
The exhibition of sheep and hgs
wan better than usual. Cuniw
tilion in the latter class was lively.
('. M. Klkius' sheep exhibit wan
worth the price of admission
Hampshire lamb were fine speci
mens of thil handsome hlsckfaccd
variety. Jack Sum merit had quite
a hunch of sheep, filling several
pent.
The cattle exhibit was poor, with
one notable exception M. I!.
Biggs' display of Shorthorns. This
bunch wouUl take ribbons at any
fair.
The poultry exhibit was not very
creditable to Crook county, but we
suppose climatic conditions this
fall were largely responsible (or the
poor showing mado. The fowls
were moulting later than usual
and then again the fair was held a
week earlier so that our chicken
fanciers could not gut their ex
hibits in shnpe to contend for the!
prizes. There were some good
coops of early spring chickens that
partly redeemed the county in this
department.
The display of agricultural prod
ucts was fully up to standard.
While tho numW of exhibits was
not as large as usual, the showing
was fine. Every inoh of available
space was taken. We noted the
absence of Tillman Heuter's col
lodion. He is now in the employ
of tho Great Northern Railway and
too busy with the land Bhows to
bother with a county fair.
Boegli wns there with a grand
display. lie had 3'J varieties of
apples. Among them were Wolfe
Rivors, Striped Pippins, Johns
thans, Baldwins, Northern Spy,
King, Pound Pippins, Gnnos, Ar
kansas Blacks, Winter ltellflower,
I!ed Cheeked Pippins, and Dela
ware Reds, lie had four varieties
of Solway peaches, and good
samples of Lemon Cling and Favor
ites. Ilia pears were equal to his
peaches, lie had four varieties
Fall Butter, Keiffer, Idaho and
Winter Nellis. Four varieties of
grapes White Sweetwater, Con
cord, Thompson Seedless and
Katon. Two varieties of prunes
Italian and Silver, lie hud also
exhibits of English Walnuts, Chest
nuts, and Filborts grown to per
lection. Airs. Jioegli was not a
whit behind her husband with her
display of canned fruit. She took
first prize on several individual
jars.
Ed Slayton had an exhibit that
was good to look upon. It also
looked good to the judges, for they
gave him firBt prize on the best
individual exhibit. He took first

done in the different parts of the
county and measure their own ef
forts with the best. These annual
exnioits also serve as a good in-

This year the space allotted to
the schools was well filled as seve
ral of the country districts entered
their work for the first time.
As a whole the exhibits from the
town schools did not measure up to
last year's, but since the work from
the country schools was better
than usual the general average for
all the county schools was good.
The general industrial exhibit
along school lines was not up to
standard. Paulina had more blue
ribbons for its industrial
work than any other school. It
also carried off first honors oa
several other things. The railroad
officials saw part of this exhibit
when they passed through Paulina
and asked to have it sect East to
be exhibited at the land shows.
Miss Hartley is the teacher.
The school exhibit from Powell
Butte deserves honorable mention.
It also received many blue ribbons
Every pupil in this school took
part in the school parade and made
a fine showing. Mrs. Mary V.
Charlton is the teacher.
Bend had a good exhibit but
took it home Friday noon so that
many were deprived the privilege
of viewing it.
The Prineville public schools
were not as well prepared as usual,'
due to the fact that it had but two
days of school before the fair
opened.
