The decoration for the Interior of
the district fair pavilion this year will
be sheaf grain and not evergreen
loughs us heretofore. The commis
sion Just decided on making this com
mendable change In the decorations
and today Secretary Thomas Fits
Gerald ordered three large wagon
londs of sheaf grain for that purpose.
The entire Inside of the huge pavil
ion will be decorated with this dress
and when complete will give an ap
propriate and attractive appearance
tc it. Heretofore evergreens have
been used and have been attractive as
decorations, but the commission, ever
on the lookout for something new,
has decided that the' banner wheat
county of the stato shall have a fair
pavilion In keeping with Its reputa
tion and so will have a sheaf grain
palace for this fall's fair.
Donations of sheaf grain for this
purpose will be gladly accepted and
the donors will be duly credited for
the same.
The fair commission also ordered
one bushel of the famous Alaska
whoat which It Is alleged has Just
been originated at Jullaetta, Idaho,
that Umatilla county farmers may
witness this wonderful grain. After
the fair the exhibit will be distributed
among Interested farmers for seed.

The land In question amounts In
