Fanners and ranchers generally are invited to participate by bringing the finest fruits of garden and orchard, the prize pro duce of a prize district, to compete for the liberal awards which will be offered. A program of entertainment that will leave no dull moment is now being prepared. Athletic sports, street attractions, free auction sale, free salmon supper, vaudeville entertainment, and a grand ball, are merely a few of the features to be provided for Gold Hill’s guests. The Gold Hill Industrial Fair is for home folks —for the credit of the district and its resources. It is your fair, and we want you to be present at your own party. Programs and posters, complete in detail, will be issued as soon as arrangements are perfected. Watch for them. OREGON CITY, O r., Sept. 2,—C. I..
