Mabel Blxby, Frine- - With the exception of the races, which did not prove up to expecta tions, the Eighth Annual Central Oregon Fair passes into history as the most generally successful one ever held, in point f attsndance and number and quality of exhibits and special features. The windy days were unpleasant but did not prevent'the big crowds that gath ered from all parts of the county from having a good time. The exhibit in the exposition building proved conclusively that there are mighty few places in the land that can beat Crook county when it comes to "growin' things." It is impossible to mention every individual exhibitor or any exhibits of especial excellence, as the qual ity was so uniformly good that the judges had to resort to pretty care ful figuring in making the awards. In point of general displays of various products the exhibit of Bonnyview Farm, the Ward Ranch, C. J. Sund,quist, J. D. Robinson, J. E. Whistler, D. H. Putnam, S. L. Mustard and E. T. Slayton were notable. Wm. Hoegli's Cove Orchard had the usual display of luscious fruit, with almonds and English walnuts to break the monotony and prive the wide range of things that local soil will produce. If there is any kind of fruit that you can think of that wasn't represented, mention it to SlaytocBoeglii or v JUujJUctt. yor anyone of a number of other home orchardists and they will, undertake to remedy the defect immediately. Both demonstration farms that under irrigation at Redmond and the dry farm at Metolius made ex tensive showings of what these es tablishments are doing in the way of scientific farming for the educa tion of the public and the displays were mute evidence of the good work that both institutions are do ing in their respective lines. The local branch of the Bureau of Forestry, under the direcii-TO of Supervisor Ross, had a very inter esting collection of woods and range plants gathered on nearby reserves, It is hard for an old alkali to recog nize sage brush under such a musi cal name as artemesia tridenta, or bunch grass when it is labeled Festuca scabrella or Ericomo cus pidata, but that is it, just the same (pronunciation and spelling not guaranteed.) Both the O.-W. R. & N and Ore gon Trunk had booths that received many callers, and a number of local manufacturing industries and mer cantile houses were nicely repre- Concluded on lust page II 7 RrlS fiitf I iOLt IN l SECIES game.

The industrial exhibits of the schools were attractive and speak well of the work being done by the younger generation. The teachers and children are deserving of many compliments for their showing at this year's fair. Rivalry for the big Hill cup was keen, the award being made to The Prineville Pub lic Schools. The writer did not penetrate far into the fine arts department. A rush of memories of the happy days when sowbelly, sinkers and coffee formed the breakfast menu with coffee, sinkers and sowbelly for din ner' and a change to sinkers, sow telly and coffee for supper, (if he had any) caused him to gaze so longingly at the culinary display that one of the lady attendants re warded him with a look so coldly suspicious that he fled precipitately to the more homelike quarters of the fat stock. The short visit,' how ever, was sufficient to convince him that the fine arts section was there "with the goods" and worthy of de tailed description by one3ne who. unlike the reporter, would not con fuse chicken fricassee with pas sementerie or "Looie Kanz" decor ations. , In the livestock department a question of the eligibility ' of the WarrMi, Dickson . & McDowell en. tries was raised, and rather than cause any friction Mr. Dickson with drew all his entries from gen3ral competition, and the association made separate classes and awards on this high class bunch of animals, composed of cattle, horses and hogs. Interest in this display centered around a "black baby" steer of some sixteen months of age that tippid the beam at over 1400 pounds. With the Dickson entries classified by themselves, the blue and red ribbons were well scattered among the large number of cattle and horses exhibited by other local stockmen. While the Warren, Dickson & McDowell entries were of the best in the Northwest and fit to compete in any company, it appears to the writer that other local ranches have animals which, if given the same preparation, would meet them on an equal footing. The assertion is further justified by the fact that this firm were generous buyers of young prize winners in the "strictly local class" which they will fit for future show purposes. The hog and sheep pens were all filled with aristocrats, and the best display of poultry ever assembled in Central Oregon taxed the capac ity of the new poultry house. The fields for the races were small and the events of only passing interest, the crowd seeming to get more fun and enjoyment from the Indian races and bucking contests. Outside racing stables are hard to bring in, and the writer ventures the opinion that more money for Indian races, contests, "cow pony" races for local riders, relays, etc. would meet with hearty favor. The. Cioffi Band of Portland, rendered music throughout the week which was greatly enjoyed, and the circus drew good crowds. Mr. Christofferson made successful flights and none deplore the un fortunate accident of the opening day more than the aviator himself. All in all, this year's fair set a new mark. Now it is up to 1913 to beat it. Crook County Journal, $1.50 per yr
