GOOD PROSPECTS
FOR THE FAIR
Amusement Features are of the
Best Quality—Agricultural
Exhibits Extensive.
The opening day for the big annual
Grange lair will find everything in ap
ple pie order.
Every Arrang**ifi«*nt for
the entertainment of the public will
have laren consume led an I no delay «
will lie experienced in placing the en*
tries that arrive late; box stalls are
specially prepared to Bceoiiiimslate the
livesba-k that lias I men on exhibi
tion at other fairs on tbe Northwestern
circuit.
Several purr bred prize win*
tiers will la» placed for th« approvai ui
tbe judges.
Th« committee in charge of ainuM»*
merits has completed all arrangements
for tbe various amusements with which
the public visiting will be regaled.
Arnold's Combined Shows will supply
the Midway attractions, also the free
acts to I m * pulled off in front ot the
grandstand lietween tbe race«.
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.

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

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-

farmer, gardner, dairyman or investor.
A few weeks ago the club offered a
prize of *■'> tor the best descriptive arti

D. 8. Johnson’s article waa

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.
