Not only the stockmen of Wallowa county but those from surrounding points are manifesting a desire to be represented in the exhibit durfng the Wallowa Countyyy Fair, beginning September 26.

In each jf these competitions the premium offered is sufficient to .give any. young lady or gntleman a neat sum of money. What Is now very pertinen.t to the csccese of th Fair is that e- ybody in the county, whether able to make an. exhibit or not, should make the Fair a topic or daily con versation; to devise plans by which the management may reach the tn terest of all; and to keen the en thusiasm among the people atirrvd as lit Is at present.
