The Annual Fair.
Lincoln County's Third Annual
Fair a Thing of the Past.
While the fair here this week may
not have been a financial success it
was nevertheless a greater success
in the way it was intended than any
previous exhibition. But for the
rains during the first two days of
the fair it would have undoubtedly
been a financial success as well.
Never before in the county's
history has such a magnificient dis
play of superior vegetables, grains
and grasses, live stock and poultry,
and dometic science and arts and
school exhibits been displayed. It
means that the citizens of Lincoln
county are waking up to the benefits
to be gained by the annual exhibi
tion. The many thousnds of visitors
this week have been agreeably sur
prised at the amount and superior
quality of the varied exhibits.
Stock, some of the very best in the
world, has been shown the barns
were full of blooded animals. In
the vegetable and other farm exhib-.
its well, they just simply cannot
be beaten any place.
While the fair was shy on attrac
tions owing to the amusement com
panies being at the Centenial at
Astoria, the crowds were enter
tained by good horse racing, steer
wrestling contests, baseball and
other field sports. The wrestling
match between Messrs. McBride of
Eddyville and Updike of Elk City
was a fine exhibition, showing skill,
strength and perseverance. These
gentlemen gave an excellent exhi
bition. In the horse races each afternoon
were good attractions. Many good
horses and races were run. The
iree ior an race luesday was won
by Waceka owned by Frank Mcln-
tyre, and the pony race was won by
Ralph Henry's little Happy. The
second day's free for all race was
won by Waceka, and Happy again
carried off the pony race. Yester
day's free for all race was won by
Maggie Thomas, owned by Mr. Cor-
dell, and Pinto, owned by Mr
Harris won the pony race. The
horses entered for today's races are
Maggie Thomas, Waceka, and Blue
Diamond, the latter owned by Mr.
Brown. The last race this evening
will be a slow race.
' The throwing of a big four year
old steer by Frank Mclntyre was an
interesting and exciting exhibition.
Mr. Mclntyre leaps from his horse
to the steer and with nothing but
his hands throws the steer and holds
him down. This feat was a good
one. This aftenoon Mr. Mclntyre
will do the same trick with the
steer, but instead of using his hands
he will use his teeth, while his
hands will be tied behind him.
Yesterday was the biggest day in
attendance, the rains of the two
preceeding days settling the dust
and cooling the air. Large dele
gation from Newport and other
points on the lower bay were here,
Siletz turned out by dozens of team
loads, and the whole upper eastern
end of the county was well repre
sented. Waldport sent up the
sband and a large delegation of res
idents of that part of the county
accompanied them. It seemed that
everybody was here yesterday.
Governor West, was of course , the
attraction yesterday. Everybody
was anxious to see and hear tur
Governor. He arrived on the nocn
train from Salem andjspoVe at the
fair grounds immediately alter din
ner. He then departed for the
state capitol on the two o'clock
train.
Congressman Hawley spoke Wed
nesday morning, and departed in
the afternoon for Dallas, where he
delivered a speech yesterday.
Dr. Olmsted, Lincoln county's
gifted orator, of Waldport, arrived
ast evening and will speak this
afternoon.
Among the large exhibitors are
G. Wesley, owner of the herd of
full blood Galloway cattle these
elegant blacks. Mr. Wesley will go
from here to the statejfair at Salem,
then to Spokane, Boise, and many
other fairs. ' He will return home
jn about two months. Mr. Wesley's
exhibit is worth many thousand
dollars.
S. T. Loudon and John Veit of
Eddyville, I. J. Pepin, and many,
many others, too numerous to men
tion in this short sketch, are show
ing cattle, sheep and goats that
cannot be excelled anywhere.
D. J. Derby has a most complete
and extensive exhibition of vege
tables and fruits, many varieties
even many of the old residents of
the county never dreamed of being
raised here. Mr. Derby's exhibit
is good and it has taken much hard
work and expense to prepare it.
Mr. Derby's exhibit is not the
only good and large exhibit by any
means. Good exhibits are here
from nearly every section of the
county.
Newport's exhibits are excellent.
among the most noticable were many
pieces 01 fancy work and works of
art. An elegant display of native
agates is displayed by A. L.
Thomas, the pioneer lapidist of the
county. Dr. Berry has a curio ex
hibit worth thousands of dollars.
There are many other exhibits we
would like to mention but time and
space forbids.
Eddyville did herself proud in
her farm and stock exhibits of
every description,. Her citizens
have brought many exhibits and
they are all . good. Waldport sent
many exhibits, notably of which
was a sixty pound salmon exhibited
by David Gay. Dave Williams,
John Rattey and many others have
some mighty good horses on exhibit.
The school displays are most excel
lent and shows lots of hard work by
the little folks in nearly all the
schools in the county in the prep
aration of same. Their work is
fcooa and creates comment from
nearly every visitor. The Indian
Day school of Upper Farm has an
especially good exhibit. This school
is instructed bv Prof. R. Reginald
DePoe. Mr. DePoe is a full
blooded Indian, and is considered
one of the best educated Indian in
the United States. His work ' is
shown by this exhibit of his Indian
pupils.
Taken as a whole this fair lines
up well with any preceding fair
and shows that fairs are a success
here. They are creating the desired
competition among our Ranchers and
stockmen, and all others who are
striving to produce just a little bet
ter than their neighbors. The an
nual event gives the people a chance
to meet their neighbors, to visit, to
renew acquaintances, to compare
notes, to learn what each other is
da ing, and to haveTan all-round
gjod time. There has been mistakes
made in managing the fair of cour.
but they will be used to help make
the next fair a better success. As
usual the work of many was nut
on to a few with the result that
those who did the work had tm
much to do. These mktnkne .:n
w,U Will
b? corrected and our annual fair
will grow better and their managers
will eech year learn more and mnm
and be better able to manage them.
Despite these few little mistakes
the various committees have done
wall and are entitled to much
ere Jit.
