Crowd is Expected
Washington County Day at the
Lewis and Clark Exposition is set for
next Tuesday June 6th. It is ex­
pected that the greater part of the
population of the county will attend
the fair on that day. The Southern
Pacific has issued a schedule which
can be seen by refering to the supple-
ment page of this paper and will pro-
vide sufficient cars to carry all who
wish to go.
There will be an appropriate pro­
gram in the auditorium composed of a
splendid concert by Innes’ band, and
speaking by good orators and a grand
parade.
The program for Forest Grove’s part,
as far as we are able to give it will con­
sist of several speeches on the general
subject of “ Forest Grove.”
Prof. |
James R. Robertson, of Pacific Univer- j
shy, will speak on “ Its Institutions and
Homes.” and Judge Hollis on “ Its
Location and Resources.”
However1
these talks will be short for there will j
be lots more to the program which is
net yet definitely known. Mrs. Chap­
man, head of the vocal department of
the university, will render a solo.
It is requested that everybody
To the People of Forest Grove
Tuesday, June 6th, has been
designated as “ Washington County
Day” at the Lewis and Clark Fair.
It is expected that a special ex­
cursion train will be run, getting
into Portland at a convenient hour
in the morning, and leaving late in
evening so as to give opportunity to
see the Fair under the felectric
lights.
The local committee having in
charge arrangements for the day is
anxious that Forest Grove shall be
fittingly represented, and to that
end urgently requests every person
who can possibly do so to join the
excursion.
It will be the banner opportunity
to bring the attractions of our city
to the notice of the public. An
effort will be made to have all busi­
ness houses in Forest Grove closed
for the day.
Let every loyal citizen do his
best to make the day a success.
