The County Fair.
Everything now indicates that
the third annual Washington
county fair to be held on the
grounds near Forest Greve next
week, beginning Wednesday, Oc
tober 6, and continuing through
the entire, week, will be most
successful ever held by the pres
ent organization.
The fajr is to be honored on
the opening day by the presence
of Governor Withycombe, who
has consented to be present and J
L.00 Per Year
assist in the opening exercises.
This will be almost the gover
nor's first appearance in his,
home county since assuming theN
duties of his high office, and all
citizens of the county will be in
terested in hearing what he haa
to say. . .
The entries already made lflf
the livestock department Insure"
the largest exhibit of blooded
stock ever assembled in the coun
ty and gives evidence of the
awakening interest in this, line
of work among all our farmers;
The board of managers haVe
found it necessary to authorize
the construction of additional
sheds for the accommodation of
the stock,' and these are being
built the present week, so that
all,wil ;be in readiness for the
opening day.
Concrete work on the Beaver
ton high school was begun Mon
day morning with a large fore
of men. The weather has beea
ideal so far for the work, which
will be rushed to completion at
early as possible. Once the con
crete story is finished, the work
of the two upper brick stories,
will go up much faster. We un
derstand the contractors expect
to complete the building by the
first'of the coming year, in case
too much severe weather does
not delay the work.
The work of building new side
walks goes along unabated in
Beaverton. George Teft is busy
this week building a walk, be
ginning at the Pegg coraer on
Watson street, and extending
west to the schoolhouse corner,
embracing the property of W. E,
Pegg, M. P. Cady, George Teft,
S. W. Mcllvane and John Sum
mers, three blocks in all.
George Meyer brought a few
sample onions from his St. Ma- .
ry'a farm Tuesday, that are
about the finest we have seen
this season. He has about 100
sacks, all of which average very
fine. He will probably exhibit
some at the county fair next
week.
H. G. Vincent and family left "
last Saturday for Salem, wher
they will spend all this week at
the state fair. They took along
camp equipment, and will stop
right on the fair grounds, Mr. .
Vincent having made reservation
