Owing to the demand for space for the machinery exhibits, the large tent former ly used for a rest tent has been trans formed into a pavilion for gasoline en gines. Provision will be made elsewhere for seats in the shade for all who be come tired walking around and who wish to rest. The fruit display in front of the main entrance to the industrial pavilion will be larger and better than ever, because the fruit crop this year Is better than for several years.

The number of restaurants and lunch counters on the grounds has been con siderably increased and those In opera tion In the past have been enlarged. There has never been a complaint of over-charging for meals at the State Fair, for a good meal can be obtained for 25 cents. Those who wish, a more elaborate meal can get It for 50 cents, btrt 25 cents is the prevail ing charge. Owing to the activity of the Board of Trade, rooms will be available, for all visitors who cpme to Salem during the Fair. Secretary A. F. Hofer has listed all the rooms In the city in public places and in private residences, thtit are for rent, and he is ready to assign any visitor to a room. The Board of Trade fias guarded against over-charges for rooms and as the price of the room Is known In advance, no visitor need fear being held-up. Though Salem has sometimes failed to furnish sufficient accommoda tions, it has never been guilty of extor tion. This year there will be plenty of rvms and at the usual popular prices. The big crowd will come to the Fair on Portland day. Thursday, when a special excursion train -will be run and a very low round trip rate will be made by the transportation companies. Wednes.iy will be Salem day and on that occasion practically all the busi ness houses m this city will be closed so that all Salem people roy go to the Fair. Centralis Eleven Begins Work. CENTRALIA.
