are going against a formidable team
without having had a practice game,
the local boys are confident that they
will give a good account of them
selves. Willie Coach Smythe Is not

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.
