COUNTY FAIR WILL

BABY SHOW JUDGE WANTED
George Russell Has Charge of the

Have Prominence
Plans for the holding of Crook
County's annual fair are being
worked out by the board of di
rectors, and everything indicates
a most successful meeting this
fall.
J. S. Fox, the secretary, sends
us the following article for pub
lication: Although the date has already
been announced, it will lose noth
ing by a repition, so we will men
tion once more that it will be
held this year on the fair grounds
near Prineville from Wednesday,
October 11th, to Saturday, Oc
tober 14th. Only four days?
Yes, this year only four days of
actual fair, for on preceding oc
casions so much time and
thought was taken up on Tues
' day with the entering and plac
ing of exhibits, that few people
were able to give time and at
tention to the races and other
attractions. Will there be less
attractions this year, then ? Not
on your life. The attractions,
on the contrary, are far greater
both in quality and quantity, but
they are put into four days in
order to keep the ball of enjoy
ment from ever stopping, and
doubtless this will appeal to
many. No more tedious waits
between races, no hanging around
for a ball game to begin, no
dusty trips out to the fair grounds
hours before the sport one has
come for began, for the program
will be so full that things will
have to follow one another in
their regular and rapid sue
cession.
Maybe this is all talk and
"blow?" Well, we'll just let
you into a secret, and if you're
"in the know" you'll know its
significance. Ever heard of
George Russell? Well, he's run
ning the races this year. That's
all.
Any baseball.' Ul course
there'll be baseball, but the full
details have yet to be completed.
There's this championship cup
for the championship of Central
Oregon that's at present held by
the Prineville nine. The cecre
tary of the fair would like to get
into communication with all the
local teams in Central Oregon to
complete arrrngements. Will
managers please note and write
the secretary at Prineville? Then
too, it is rumored that the Prine
ville boys want to have a crack
at the semi-professional cham
pionship of Oregon, at present
held by a Portland team, and it
is quite possible the fair dates
will witness a tussle of state in
terest that should surely prove a
good one. Yes, there'll be base
ball all right.
All the other attractions, and
a number of new ones, will be
there the same as usual, and it
might be mentioned that the
situation of judge at the baby
show is yet vacant, and the sec
retary will be glad to have ap
plications, with recommendations
as to fitness, of course. The sal
ary is unmentionable.
Jim Hill has beaten last year
in his particular department, for
he has been good enough to offer
prize ribbons for all the dry farm
products, and all the dry vege
tables offered in the fair lists, in
all 164 ribbons, so that winners
of the cash prizes offered by the
fair will also be presented with
magnificent ribbons which cre
ated so much enthusiasm last
year. There is also a splendid
cup offered for best individual
of agricultural products, which
will no doubt be hotly contested.
A representative of the fair
association will shortly be ap
pointed in each precinct to see to
the gathering of a good precinct
exhibit from each locality. All
readers who have produce that
would be worthy of taking a
place in a precinct exhibit kindly
keep in mind and preserve the
exhibit until such time as the
appointments are made and the
produce can be collected. In ad
dition to these precinct exhibits.
individuals are urged to bring
anything they have of special
merit and enter for the individual
prizes. This year's produce
shows promises to beat anything
heretofore seen in the interior.
Remember the fair, October
11th to 14th. Keep exhibits.
