We run again this week Polk
county's awards at the state fuir.
Send the list to your friends in
the East. It is generally con
ceded that this was the best fair
ever held in the West, and we
are proud of Polk county's show
ing there. The list will be
found on this page.
Tho people of Polk county favor
a liberal appropriation for th
Lewis and Clark fair and we believe
Representative Hawkins strikes it
about right when be says: "lam
in favor of an appropriation by the
state for the Lewis and Clark Fair
of 1905. I haye not as yet deter
mined just what I think the
amount of that appropriation
should be, but I believe the state
should be liberal in the matter, as
I think the honor and pride of the
whole state is involved in making
the Fair a success, and I believe
th whole Northwest and every sec
tion without our own state boundary
will reap great benefit therefrom."
