XO EFFORT HEEX MADE TO COLLECT SI ItSCRIPTIONS. Whole Scheme, Is Nebulous and 'Willi No Prospeet ill Sight for Being RroiiRlit to an 0ieratlng Points There Is Plenty Time for the Mak ing of a Track and Buildings, But Time Is Limited ill Which to Get Into the Circuit, as Dutet Are Made In January A Meeting of Member of the local Asmxiatlon Will Be Held During the Next Two Months. What is going to be .done in the matter of a fair association, for Pen dleton? Will the plans formed last winter, and carried out to the extent of securing 110,000 in subscriptions, be completed and the fair established, or will the proposition be allowed ta go by default after the most difficult work has already been done? Since the subscription was raised for the fair last spring practically nothing more has been done towards carrying out the project. No deal was then closed for the Armstrong tract, as th land was then In a crop, and it waa also desired to wait until after har vest before asking for the money sub scribed. However, the latter has now been over for two months, and yet ne step has been taken. When seen this morning Frank Fra zier, who circulated the subscription paper last winter, said that there waa no intention of. doing anything in the matter at present. According te Mr Frazler he has been asked by a num ber of parties to let the matter rest for the time being. It being argue that It was not a good time now to ask for money with the Lewis and Clark fair Just over and the city somewhat torn up by local contentions. How ever, he suys that there will be pleat I of time next spring to get a track made and fair buildings established so that a fair and race meet could held next fall. ' But if a fair is to be held next fall arrangements must be made in Jan uary for dates, so as to harmoniar with the meets to be held In the north west. According to Mr. Fraxier tha representatives from the Lewiston. North Yakima. Walla Walla, Salem, Portland. Everett and other fairs will meet in January to agree upon a. schedule of dates for the different places. Consequently, if Pendleton is to have a fair next fall It will be neo essary for decisive action to be taken before that time, and a committeeman sent to the meeting In January. In order to bring the matter to a head and learn the sentiment of tha subscribers regarding what should ! done. Mr. Frazier says that a meeting of members of the association will probably be held some time befora January, and if the sentiment favors going ahead a man will be sent to tha meeting, in Portlnnd, and dates secured for the Pendleton meet According to Mr. Frazier there la every Indication of a good circuit next year, as it Is believed big purses will be hung up. and ns a result many more horses will be entered than thers were this year.
