Too much cannot tie said of the rneretorioua attractions offered by the Arnold aggre gation. aa tbe concern ia alwolutely high grade in every reajiect, and their Indi vidual Midway shows are moral and in structive. The exhibitions are such that a family man can feel safe in allowing th« ladies and children to attend any attraction offered by this sterling asso ciation of amusement caterers without escort. No grail games of any nature are tolerated around the Arnold Com bined Shows. The agricultural exhibits will he one of the feature at tractions at tbe big Fall Fair this year. Several thousand acres of virgin land have been broken during the |>aet year in thia district and the prislucta from this new soil, aided by irrigation in s|eits, will Im a never end* ing source of inter«st to the many out- sidera attending the anuual exhibition, Not only will the product of the»« new farm, create an interest among tbe vis itors, but will be looked upon with dee|f interest l>y the oldtiniera »ho will r«ad- ily appreciate the more favorable and muderti methods employer! by present day husbandmen id the soil than wheu they first settled in this locality. Every year brings forth more perfect methods of cultivating the soil along scientific lines and one of the greatest stimulants, to that end ia the annual exhibition of the various articles of an agricultural nature for which premiums are offered. The grains and grasses will tie awarded a prominent place in the exhibit hall as will tbe fruits. Apple culture lias ta*en more favorably pushed in the en tire Northwest during the past year and the exhibit of tills fruit of the kings will lie watched with interest. Large dis plays of this particular, delicious speci men will lie made by the many growers who will be represented. A large force of men are at work on the new- buildings. The first work raising began Friday. They will all lie well along to completion before another awk. A series of liall games are being ar- rangeil by manager I'atenaude. to be playtsl during the Fair. It is planned to have four teams play, the winners of the first two games to then try for a FftO purse. There will also tic 125 in prizes for each of the first two games. Then* is also a probability that the Portland high school will engage the Gresham team in a wild and wtxiley foot bail game on Sat urday the lfith. Dancing at the Fair, every afternoon j and evening.

Mr. Pearson spoke of the coat of manufacturing and said it could be made to advantage in a place like Gres ham on account of cheapness of land and labor. A plant such an lie proposed would give employment Co from thirty to a hundred men. Of course there were certain condi tions for the people here to fulfill and a committee consisting of H. A. I*arnall, R R. Carlson and D. 8. Johnson is now investigating to see if the oeceaaary money can lie raised. There was a good attendance and con siderable interest waa shown in plans fur advertising this section. Thousands Vol. 5. of homeaeexera are coming to Oregon to live and other thousands are traveling through the stale but never a leal of literature do they see telling the plain, simple truths about our beautiful scen- j ery and inviting opportunities for the farmer, gardner, dairyman or investor. A few weeks ago the club offered a prize of *■'> tor the best descriptive arti cle on the products and iwweihility cd this section, to be used for publicity pur|*oae«. D. 8. Johnson’s article waa accepted and awarded the prize by tbe Publicity Committee. The club listen- ' ed to the article read at its ka»t meeting and autt orized its publication Manv inquiries are received every weex and this will lie used in answering them. Other plan, were suggested and favora bly received which will doubtless be used later. It is the general opinion that nothing is too good tn tell about our resources, that there is ample room and opfnrtunity for all who come and that the simple statements ol fwte will interest all who read and lead maoy to seek a home here.
