William Bell, o f Newburg, who, by
proposing as a nickname for the P. 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.

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.
