throughout Deschutes county pray-!
ing the county court to officially !
designate Sisters as the place to J
hold the annual county agricultural !
fair. The reasons given in the pe- !
tition are set forth as follows:
First, the Sisters fair is an estab
lished fact. Second, that district is ;
one of the best agricultural sections j
of the new county. Third, they :
have a race track which Is claimed
to be the best in the new county.
Fourth, they ask for this only so ;
long as the grounds and improve- !
ments shall be maintained without
any expense to the county Press.

zie road would be of far-reaching
benefit. In connection with the Co- i

Portland, and its betterment will
mean the attraction of much profit
