Port land Day and Interstate Derby Day at the Clark County J; air. a most suc cessful event. Long before noon thousands of peo ple began coming from Portland. At 2 o'clock, when the races began, the grandstand was completely filled, and 2000 people lined up on both sides of the race course and on Ither side of the grandstand, or sat in lull or more automobiles from which they could see the races to fine advantage.

Plummer. of Portland, and several physicians and nurses from that city will be the judges. In the individual farmers' contest there were 14 entries which were judged today. ' A purse of $350, in ad dition to a silver cup presented by Louis W. Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad, was divided among three first winners. The first prize was won by Mrs. A.

English & Son, 804; 14th, TV W. Hablch. 681. The story told by Mrs. Farln should be an inspiration to the thousands who live in the crowded cities, say the judges. Coming to the United States 12 years ago, from Italy, where her father was a peasant, Mrs. Farln with her parents located in Oregon, along the railroad running from Portland to Astoria, where her father started to hew for himself a home. Small Tract Purchased. Six years ago she married A. Farln. and together they came to Clark County and bought 10 acres at Felida, about seven miles from Vancouver. The land was covered with trees, stumps and roots, but Mr. and Mrs. Farin worked early and late and put up a little shack of two rooms. They be gan clearing away the. trees and dig ging out the stumps, being too poor to buy explosives. In a little while they cleared away enough to put In a small crop, which was planted in garden truck and small berries. With a few dollars they added a dairy department to their small farm. With the money they had secured from their first crop, they cleared a still larger space for the next year and planted this with still more- products, which brought them in liberal returns. Each year they cleared more land. Now their en tire 10 acres are in cultivation. The exhibits with which they won the first prise consisted of more than 125 products and all of them are ex-' cellcnt in quality and size. They have built a modest cottage with barns and outbuildings, and en Joy all the luxuries produced by a fertile soil and kindly climate. The prize money that they will receive they will add to their bank account. Exhibit Carried Far. Mr. and Mrs. E. C Clark, who won 10th place, also have overcome many difficulties In bringing their exhibits to this city. Mr. and Mrs. Clark live at Yale, which is 40 miles from a rail road. In order to bring their ex hibits to Vancouver they loaded the products lis a wagon and with their baby drove 40 miles to Woodland, where they expressed tho consign ment to the Clark County fair grounds, and came themselves on the train. It took two days' hard work to arrange the booth. J. L. Davles, who had an excellent exhibit, is living on a small farm, five years from the stomp. His exhibit lacked fresh fruit, or his display would have scored much higher. G. A. Heaton, who lives seven miles from Washougal, has on exhibit some "mineral soap." a deposit of which he first discovered in his cellar. Lester Holtgrieve was awarded first prize In the individual school garden contest. It is noticeable that most of the prizes for special exhibits in the school garden contest were won by girls. Lottie Moore took first prize for the best pumpkin. Mabel Wiggins had the. best red beets. Lena Burlln game won .the blue ribbon for five pears. Gertrude Goley was awarded blue ribbon for the largest squash, while Forest Fisher took blue ribbon for his hill of beans, and Charles Parks raptured the prise for the best po tatoes.
