E.& E. “ The Willamette Valley Line,” won over 2,764 contestants and has re ceived the $50.06 prize offered by pres ident Strahorn. The contest has at tracted much attention all over the country. I Juvenile D epartm ent A ttra cts. So much interest is being taken in the juvenile department over the county that the board o f directors felt justified, at their last meeting held this week, in offering an additional set of prizes for booth exhibits in this depart ment. In addition to the cash prizes, several business firms o f the county have expressed a desire to offer articles as special premiums in the different departments and as a result a nice list o f specials is being made up. The board o f directors have appoint ed a committee to arrange a racing pro gram for the fair. Arrangements have been completed with the Eureka Mer- ry-go-round company o f North Plains for the operation o f their steam swing. Mr. C. O. Roe, who has charge o f the concessions is arranging with different parties for the conduct o f suitable restaurant accommodations and other conveniences and amusement features. Both the Oregon Electric and South ern Pacific R. R. have agreed to give special rates and to help in advertising the Fair. Everything now points to success and if our people will take hold in the proper spirit and each help what he or she can by saving _and preparing for exhibition whatever they may have there is no question but that Washing ton county can make one of the most creditable showings o f any county in the State, and one that will go far to- j ward helping to attract to us a large share o f desirable ¡migration. H illsboro Expects G o o d Fair L. L. Crawford, one o f the directors o f the Washington County Fair Associ ation, was down from Crawford, yes-1 terday. He says there are all indica tions o f a fine exhibit at Forest Grove this fall, says the Argus. It begins to <ook like the coming fair at Forest Grove will be a good one. The gentlemen on the directorate stand for worthy effort, and the institution should be encouraged by every produc er. SCRIBEC VISIT FOREST GROVE P. E. & E.
