THE SUNDAY OREGOXIAN, PORTLAND. OCTOBEK 13,
WHEELER COUNTY JUVENILE FAIRS
MEET WITH ENTHUSIASTIC ENTRIES
Mitchell, Spray and Foster Have Good Programmes Boys Wjn in Bread, Butter and Jellymaking, While Girls
Take Prizes for Growing Potatoes and Raising Livestock.
POSSIU Or.. Oct. 12. (Special.) Al
though Wheeler 1 one of the most
sparsely settled counties In the
state and more particularly adapted to
stockralslng than to general agricul
ture, her school fairs, . the first ever
held in the county, were a great suc
cess. The county Is naturally divided
into three physical centers, Mitchell,
Spray and Fossil being the towns at
these points where the school fairs
were held. Most of the children in
the county had never attended or even
seen a fair, but with the preliminary
work done earlier in the season by N.
C. Marls, Superintendent . of School
Children's Industrial Work In the state
In connection with Superintendent .H.
J. Simmons, and the co-operation of
the teachers, parents and local press,
the fairs were better patronized by
the children than had been anticipated
by their most sanguine supporters.'
The fair at Mitchell was held Sep
tember 27, opening in the morning with
a parade of the school children who
carried flowers and vegetables. A pro
gramme was held in the church with an
opening address by Superintendent
Simmons, followed by a number of
exercises by the children. Including
the reading of the prize essays on the
subject "Back to the Farm." Professor
R. L. Green talked on the Importance
of the movement. A. J. Shrum gave a
practical talk on irrigation, closing
with an address by Mr. Marls. Fol
lowing the programme a basket lunch
was served in the church-yard where
several long tables groaned under the
burden of the baskets and tubfuls of
the fat of the land, brought In by the
hospitable and expert cooks for which
that place is noted. After lunch the
awards were made, Mr. Maris passing
- on the livestock, agricultural and me
chanical work, and Mrs. Marls on the
domestic science department. There
were 100 entries, including lambs, pigs
and chickens. One of the strongest
features of the exhibit was the cakes
which Mrs. Marls pronounced as a bet
ter display than the adults made at
the State Fair. There were about two
dozen and not an inferior one in the
lot, and the first prize cake was pro
nounced better than was seen at the
State Fair this year.
Spray Has Good Livestock.
The fair was held at Spray Septem
ber 28, with much the same programme
as was carried out at Mitchell. It
brought out the largest crowd that had
ever been seen on the streets of that
prosperous little burg. There, too. the
school children paraded with arms
filled with vegetables and furnished a
good share of the literary programme.
The opening address was made by
Superintendent Simmons, followed by
Mr. Marls, who dwelt upon the value
of the movement to the children and
the state at large, giving the boys and
girls some good advice as to how to
proceed with their work for another
year. After the programme the awards
were made by Mr. and Mrs. Maris and
the neighbors participated in a basket
lunch .similar to that 'at Mitchell.
There was more livestock at this show,
but not quite as large an entry In the
other departments.
Fossil Attendance Good.
Fossil is the largest town and county
seat, where the concluding fair of
the series was held September 30.
Partly owing to the greater population
and partly owing to the untiring ef
forts of Professor Blough, superintend
ent of the Fossil schools, the exhibit
here was considerably larger than at
either of the other places. There were
over 150 entries, including quite a
number of collective individual ex
hibits, for which a liberal prize was
offered, altogether filling the large
Oddfellows' Hall completely. Outside,
In improvised pens, were seven or eight
young porkers and as many lambs, two
calves, and quite a' string of chicken
coops, each containing a trio of cluck
ens. '
Mr. and Maris did the judging with
Mrs. Angel, of Mayvllle, assisting in
the domestic science department. .

of vegetables and farm products, all
good specimens, raised by themselves.
This is the first year the Stewart
boys have been on a farm, but with the
stimulus of these prizes In view and
with the advice and encouragement of
interested and enthusiastic parents,
these youngsters took to their work
like ducks to water, getting up at 5
o'clock every morning and staying by

of 'rivalry and ambition to defeat tne
Stewart boys next year. Besides their
vegetables, one of the boys had an
exhibit of butter on which he won sec
ond prize in strong competition. It is
a matter of Interest that at each of
the fairs In Wheeler County, boys won
prizes in making bread, butter or Jeliy,
while In several instances the grrls
were winners with potatoes or pigs.
The literary programme was given at
the largest church at 8 P. M., when the

The Polk County Fair of October
8, 4 and 6 wai t marked success
in' all ways. The Dallas Commercial
Club alone shouldered the whole bur
den and members are today congrat
ulating themselves upon the manner
In which the fair was carried out.
Opening on Thursday, October 3, with
practically all exhibits in place, and
closing Saturday night, success marked
every event- On Thursday, Democratic
day, the principal features of the day's
projrramme consisted of the customary
balloon ascension, the automobile pa
rade, and an address by United States
Senator George E. Chamberlain. The
carnival 'attractions were runnins continually-
and all proved good. Rain
marred to a certain extent the opening
day but.durlng the afternoon of Thurs
day the weather cleared, and from that
time until the close fair weather pre
vailed. During the evening a band con
cert by the Dallas band of 40 pieces
was given in the Armory, and this
proved most popular with the visitors.
School Children Parade.
On Friday the school children ot
Polk County divided honors with the
Prohibition and Progressive parties.
The school children's parade was held
at 1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and
over 2000 children were in line. About
30 out of the 70 schools of the county
were represented In the parade. Im
mediately following the school chil
dren's parade there tu a parade of -the
blooded livestock.
Immediately following this parade
the special from Salem, carrying about
300 Capital Cl,ty residents and state of
ficers, and under direction of the Salem
Board of Trade, with A. F. Hofer,
secretary, in charge, arrived, and was
met at the depot by the Dallas Band
and a gathering of representative Dal
las citizens. . . '
A procession was formed and marched
to the Courthouse plaza, where the

ance. This was Republican day. Aside
from the free open air attractions, the
parade of blooded horses, and the car
nival attractions the principal features
o' th.e day's programme were the
addresses by Wallace MeCamant,
of Portland, to a large and most
enthusiastic audience, and the pa
rade of decorated baby, carriages and
the baby show. In the baby carriage
parade, C. L. Crlder received first hon
ors; in the baby show, for boys under
one year of age, the contest was keen,
with the Infant son of L. J. Ba
rney carryipg off first honors. Dr.
Hellwarth, of Falls City, acted as
judge, and the babies were judged ac
cording to the standards adopted at

Concerning the school children s pari
of the fair, perhaps nothing better
can be said oi it than the remarks
made by Attorney General Crawford:
"I have attended nany fairs," said
General Crawford, "but I believe that
the school children's exhibit at this
fair is the best I have ever seen front
the standpoint of the quality of 'ex
hibits shown and the large number of
different things exhibited."
Taf t Gains Votes.
From a political standpoint, though,
the different candidates for office, botlt
county and district, were given an op
portunity of meeting with the people,
the political horizon was not changed
to any great extent. It is believed
that President Taft has gained consid
erably in the county, as also did Beo
Selling. The bringing together of- voti
ers from all over the county and dis
trict developed a strength for the Pres
ident that is far greater than was
imagined.
The Prohibition speakers addressed
good crowds, and crowds that were at
times very enthusiastic. Mr. Paget, the
principal speaker, made a decided im
pression. The Bull Moose speaker did
not arouse much enthusiasm. The Re
publican speaker. Mr. MeCamant. did
more to bring the Republican forcea
of the county together into a fighting
unit than any one thing else.
Permanent Fair Promised.
The fair was the most successful ever
held here. W. A. Ayres. of Dallas, was
the general superintendent; W. V Ful
ler, of Dallas, the general manager of
carnival attractions and parades; Wal
ter Li. Tooze, Jr., of Dallas, was the
secretary of the fair. ,
Following closely upon the heels ot
this fair, a meeting Is to be called next
week of the leading men of the county
to take up the organization of a per
manent fair association.
