FOUR WEEKS

Oregon Pair Greatest Factor

URGE CASH PREMIUM LIST
Ore jonlan's Should Unite to
Make This Grandest of all
State Fairs.
The state Fair of Oregon, for 1908,'
will be held t Ralem during the we k
beginning September 14. The Oregon
fair i the leading agricultural exposi
tion on the Tacific Coaat; that is
acknowledged by all other state.
SMcial efforta have been put forth by
the management to make the coming
fair the greatent in the history of the
organisation. Extended classifica
tion of 1'iveatock, Increased premium
and additional convenience lor ex
hibitor in all department will aaaure
unaurriSiiaed display which should be
seen by great crowd of people every
day during the week. The progressive
farmer and stock grower of the
Pacific Northwest have expended
considerable time and money during
the past year In the betterment of
their herd and flocks, and many of
them having lignified their intentions
to show their best animal at the fair
next mouth.
Frank A. Welch, ecretary of the
fair board, ha received information
which indicate that there will be ten
or more counties to participate in
what is known at the "county ex
hibits" conteat for the cash premiums
aggregating $1300 divided into eight
premium, the first being f.J00, second,
1250, and third, 200, fourth $160,
and the remainder $100 each. This
exhibit must contain agricultural
products, and any other article that
will show up the resources of the
state. The counties thus far expected
to participate are Clatsop, Columbia,
Clackamas, Multnomah, Marion,
Yamhill, Linn, Lane, Benton, Douglas,
r.1 .Tmionhine these beine in the
western part of the state; and it is
believed that one or two counties of
the eastern portion will enter the
contest, which would add considerable
interest to the great feature, which in
the past ha been the admiration of
thousands of people. These exhibits
will be made in the main pavilion,
which is large and commodius and
nicely arranged in every respect.
Besides the county displays, the
Oregon Agricultural College will be
represented by specimens of work
done bv its students and faculty in
the past, the superintendent having
sent in notice for increased space in
the building. There will also be
special farm exhibits, and the horti
cultural department is going to be full
to overflowing.
The racing department will be far
better than in the past; and that
means a great deal, as the best races
in the Pacific Northw est have taken
nlace on the Oregon State Fair track.
The grand stand has boen remodelled
and its capacity increased to nearly
double. There will be no liquor
establishments permitted on the
grounds this year, and pool selling
has been made a thing of the past.
Numerous improvements about the
race course have been made which
will lend an attractiveness to the
speed contests and will be highly
aoDeciated by the spectators which
will be numbered by many thousands
this year. A high class of harness
horses will be at the fair in an effort
to pull down the rich purses offered
artd between heats there will be some
specialties to amuse the crowds.
It is the duty of all Oregonians to
patronize the fair, as it is an agricul
tural exposition in every sense of the
word. The sum of $10,000 appropri
ated by the legislature for premiums
on livestock and agricultural manu
factured products, is widely distributed
