Reference is made by the newspa per to a speech In which the Ameri can is quoted as having said: "Peru does not forget and never will forget her hour of trial and desperation and she has'not6nly the sympathy 'but the respect or her big sister." La Xacion asserts it is impossible in view of the occasion and the official character of the speaker to consider these declarations "either as out bursts of literary enthusiasm or an innocent doctrinary exposition."

Farmers Declared to Be Settlni Aside Recreation Money to Attend Functions. BOISE, Idaho, July 31. (Special.) There will be at least 14 state, county and municipal fairs in the state of Idaho during the coming fall. This reformation was given out by O. F. Hendershot, secretary of the state fair board, as well as secretary of the livestock show held at Lewiston annually. Plans are being made to group the fairs in three divisions, so that the same sets of judges may be used for all of them. 'Idaho will have its fairs this fall. notwithstanding the scarcity of ready money.'i said Secretary Hendershot. An off year never affects fairs. This is chiefly because the farmers, real izing the scarcity of money, look forward to the fairs and make their plans accordingly. They use the fair as the yearte recreation in preference to other forms of entertainment. Prospects for the state fair to be held this year in Boise look good. Six years ago, when the state fair was organized, only 10 per cent of the entries and exhibits were from Idaho. Last year Idaho exhibits totaled 85 per cent and this year they probably will rise to 90 per cent. This is taken as a certain sign of the popu larity of the fair and its importance to the livestock -and agricultural in dustries. DEATH TAKESJ3 IN FAMILY 3It.

Manager of Cinematic ; Spectacle Praises Portland for Going After World Exposition. Ben M. Giroux, manager of D. W. ' Griffith's cinematic spectacle, "Way Down East." arrived here yesterday to complete the final arrangements for the presentation of this New England classic for a- limited engage ment in the Heilig theater, beginnrhg tonight at 8:15 o'clock. This is not the first visit of Giroux to Portland, as he has been here with many noted attractions which have played the Heilig in past years, notably seven times with the Oliver Morosco pro- Kduction of "The Bird of Paradise." Giroux is one of the Inventors of the volcano effect in the final scene of "The Bird of Paradise," which writers have hailed as one of the most unique scenes In the history o,f the Ameri can stage. "One thing which pleases me mightily,' said Giroux last night, "is ths enterprise of Portland in going after an international exposition in 1925. Los Angeles imagines herself to be the capital of the world and the habitat of all boosters. Portland has absorbed much of the boost spirit and yearly is realizing more and more that in the Columbia River highway and other scenic marvels she has a quality of goods the world will welcome. I hope your exposition proves a reality and I wish now to enlist as one of the Portland 1925 boosters. "The advance adverting of 'Way Down East' here has carried the line. 'Portland 1925,' and will Continue to carry that line through all the ad vertising in the 40 weeks' tour of this 'Way Down East'company. When we invade a territory where the ex pression is not understood the box office force at such a place will glad ly enlighten any who inquire. Pos sibly, if other attractions playing Portland would do likewise, it might be helpful in exploiting your coming exposition. "Portland is a logical site for an exposition, - for it is a playground without compare. "In bringing Mr. Griffith's "Wy Down East' to Portland, we are pre senting the attraction exactly as it was shown for 42 weeks in the Forty - fourth - street theater. New York. This Is by no means a mere photoplay. It never will be seen in any other theater in Portland except the Heilig as it is now booked as a road 6how"tintil 1924."
