Work was being don bare.

Wednesday two young men
were cavorting with two crawl

At the ltth street entrance "ked aomeone who looked aig-
the staccato put! put! put! of a

gested that someone was run

balmy atmosphere to the smell

As the writer sauntered down
food row he observed a more
determined action. Quite a few
restaurants were already open
and well patronized by the side
show fraternity who were get
ting more enjoyment In Just sit
ting and sipping than in setting
up entertainment devices.
Nevertheless, carousels, fer-
rila wheels, ride and tents for
aa sorts of concessions were go
ing up everywhere. Those about
the business bad their shirts
peeled and appeared to sweat
even if they did not strenuous

Mrs. Rundell has been running
the art show at Oregon state
fair for 18 years and knows that
the time to get pictures hanged
is a few days before we iir
opens. And It may M men
tioned, too, that the photo
graphs now In place are better
than ever before and that the
195 pictures she brought to the
fair' from Portland are also
above average.
Preparations for the fair are
yet In the formative stages in
the main pavilion. There is
some hammering, there is the
smell of paint and the forestry
department has on display the
butt of a huge Sitka spruce tnat
started to grow about the time
that Dishwash the First went
on his crusade back in the 15th
century. But getting these
county booths set up and tne
exhibits placed la always a last

would have been a little disen

one industriously about the
