Saw."Gov. Withycombe

Next Year Manager R.
L. Schee Praised
Crook County's big fair in over,
.and the people nre agreed that the i
Journal and the management told
the truth when they said that it
would Jm the biggest and best ever.
The attendance wan great r than
at any of the previous fairs, and
while it is impossible to tell the ex
ct number, it is estimated at more
than 2000 on the closing day.
The gate receipts were more than
$2000, and considered from every
angle the event was an unqualified
success. 4
Railroad officials, prominent peo
ple of every class, even the Governor
himself, stated that It was perhaps
the most successful event of the kind
ever held in the state, and those
who were present at The Dalles,
"Walla Walla, and other towns during
the fair this year, stated that the
Crook County fair eclipsed them ail.
The livestock show here brought
out some of the best animals in all
the clawe that are to be found in
America. The pens and burns were
all fll before the week opened,
nd large tents and temporary theds
were hurriedly constructed to accom
modate the overflow, which took up
practically all of the west end of
the gronuds up to the driveway.
Among tho exhibitors in these
classes were Warren, Dixon, & Mc
Dowell, Thomas W. Ijiwson, H. Mc
Culi, Baldwin Sheep Co.,M. K. Biggs,
H. Baldwin. G. A. Bradley, Jackson:
& Conlon. K. T. Slayton, S. W. Yan
cey, G. W. Slayton, G. Springer, C,
W. Foster, J. L. Gibson, J. R. Kreess,
and J. E. Warner.
Besides the large exhibit of live
stock, Warren Dixon, & McDowell
exhibited a set of harness which was
imported from Scotland, the duty
on which was $1)0. These people de
serve special credit for the dislpay
they had at this fair, and the man
ner in which it was conducted.
The Thomas W. Lawson and Mc
Call exhibits were of uuusuully valu
. able individuals in the various classes
being the best ofjthoir breed to be ob
tained. These animals were all placed
on display without being entered
for prizes which was done with a
view of helping the association in a
financial way as well as otherwise.
, In the pavilion there was a first
- class display of all classes of pro-
, ducts as well as the exhibits.'
The scohol exhibits were of the
usual high classs and showed ad
vanced ideas over any previous year.
' There were a large number of arti
cles shown from the country schools
. as well as the towns.
Demonstrations of various kinds
were to be found in the pavilon.
Among them were: 0. W. R. & N.

This just leaves ten short weeks
for the candidates to work in and in
consideration of the activity shown
last week, they will surely be busy
ones. Almost as many votes were
cast at this office last week as had
been during the entire contest up to
that time, and as a result the posi
tions of the candidates have changed
somewhat.
Jessie Jones, who was fourth in
the list on September 30. jumped to
the head of the list, and claimed
three of the special prizes which
were awarded during the fair at the
same time.
Birdie S. Norton increased her
votes more than 20,000 and main

sensational gain was made by Abbie

D. J. Finn, owner of the Ten Bar
ranch near Bend, won the fat cow
at the guessing contest which was j
conducted by the managmcnt on the
grounds during the fair.
He guessed the exact weight,
1,413 pounds, and was the only
guess out of the 1,001 guesses made
that was correct. At least 90 per
cent of the gncsses were belpw the,
correct amount.
Mr. Finn made but one guess,
paid his 10 cents and when asked to
make another said that it only took
one guess to win the animal, and he
did not care to spend all his money
in one place.
He came to Princville yesterday
after having been notified of his
good luck and sold the cow to W
T, Davenport who will butcher her
Mr. Finn received $G5 for the cow,
and says that he thinks there is
money in the cattle business, es
pecially, if you get them cheap
enough.
