FOR BOYS OF P. U. ON P. U. CAMPUS hall tomorrow evening.
(B y BEN W ILLARD)
The 1916 Washington county
fair will be held within the corpo
rate limits of Forest Grove.
Arrangements to this end were
made Tuesday, when Messrs. 0 .
H. Holmes, L. M. Graham and J.
P. Hurley, representing the Forest
Grove Commercial Club and the
Washington County Fair associ-
ation, met with the president and
trustees of Tualatin Academy and
Pacific University at Portland and
secured permission to use a tract
of land lying east of the P. U.
gymnasium and Herrick Hall for
fair purposes. If it is found, after
one year, that this arrangement
does not encroach on the land
needed by the University, the ar
rangement may be made perma
nent.
It is proposed to fix up the
quarter-mile track for what horse
races are on the program and
move to the new location such
sheds and pens as will be needed.
This move should insure a much
better attendance than former
fairs have enjoyed.
Miss Beatrice Pogue is home
from the state normal, at Mon
mouth, for an Easter visit with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. E.
Pogue.
Mrs. Captain Peters had the
misfortune to dislocate her right
wrist last Friday when a step-
ladder on which she was standing
collapsed.
The Oratorio “ The Passover”
which was given Wednesday ev
ening a t t h e Congregational
church under the auspices of t he
Congregational choir, was an un
qualified success. Oriental cos
tuming added to the effect and
carried the audience back to the
time when the Israelites were an
oppressed and captive race
It Is unusual for a small town to
give such compositions; only the
most careful attention of each one
made it possible. It is customary
for the soloists to be engaged
from the city, but Forest Grove
posseses voices of which any city
would be proud.
Miss Goldie Peterson, soprano,
as Miriam, had the principal solo
work among the women and her
voice was magnificently suited to
the part. Mr. Thomas, baritone,
carried out the difficult part of
Aaron perfectly while Mr. Ferrin,
tenor, took the part of Moses
equally well. Mrs. Jones, mezzo
soprano; Mrs. McEldowney, con
tralto; Mrs. Carmack contralto,
and Mr. Richardson, baritone, all
gave most effective solo work and
were well supported by the chorus
of forty voices, and Chas. Walk
er’s orchestra of twelve pieces,
with Miss House at the piano, all
under the able direction of Mrs.
E. E. Williams.
Altogether it was the finest and
most artistic sacred composition
heard in this city for many years.
