Next Friday will be Oregon Agricultural

people. Will have .things pretty much their
own way. There will be practical dem
onstration In applepacklng and In Judging
livestock. Men who are experts in that
line of work will pack apples In view of
the assembled crowd, explaining the dif
ferent plans and the merits and disad
vantages - of each. Livestock will be
brought into the arena and the lecturer

ately decorated with orange bunting, the

ance. Fruit Display to Be Large.
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. Fruitgrowers are taking
more interest than usual and a splendid
pyramid of all kinds of fruit will greet
the eye of the visitor who enters the
pavilion.
There has always been difficulty In feed
ing the crowds at the State Fair but this
year no trouble In this line is anticipated.
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.
