One Year ............................................... >1-50 AUGUST 30, 1935 THERE’LL BE A HOT TIME As this is written there is sound of hammer and saw in the street as the (oncessionnaires get ready, at the lair grounds where the final entries being made there is rustling ¿nd bustling about, on many faimr throughout the county where stock is b ing loaded for the fair there is action and some where on the road there is a bunch of mean dis positioned horses com ing to amuse the visitors at the Sherman County Fair as they pitch their attempted riders into the air. There is an expectant air about it all and something of excitement as well. People are getting ready to celebrate. The different modes of getting ready are mearly diff erent means of expressing indi vidual preferences. Some will sele- brate by showing their best calf on the ranch or the best pig, ot'ners will celebrate by tossing caution to the winds and trying to outguess the little roulette ball, some by mounting the wild eyed horse drawn in the bucking con test. There will be something for everyone. And why not? If there is a time to sow and a time to reap there must also be a time to exhibit that which has been reaped. Upon this basis has been established the county fairs that add another holiday for rural people while city dwellers are celebrating Labor day. Usually several days are needed for a fair for a large per centage of the people In an agri cultural county usually bring some exhibit to the fair. There is something about a fair that seems to divide seasons just as the equinox and tfhe solstice really divide the four parts of the year. Before the fair it is sum mer. after the fair it is fall. One expects the nights to be a bit cooler because “Well, its after the fair and getting along in the year.” Bring on the fair. HUEY’S HOOEY It appears that those who (have been trying to expose Huey Long menance to good government and a blantant nusiance now have a very powerful ally in Senator Long himself. Surely nothing could have shown his true quality to greater disad vantage than the recent filibuster against the passage of the defi ciency bill that carried the appro priation for the security act. The rider for which he was talking would have set a price on cotton and wheat and might of been some temporary benefit to farmers of the south and west although in the long run it would not have been of any assistance. The apparent decline of Long is a dheerful note in national affairs for it indicates that people have begun to think along more solid lines than those often expressed by a word similar to the first name of the Louisiana senator.

There’s been a great hullabaloo about the end of the application period of PWA this week. No it wasn’t the taxpayers, this time. The first letting of highway con tracts under the 1935 allotment of federal funds will be made on Sep tember 5 when bids will be re ceived on projects aggregating ap proximately >1,500,000. Subse quent lettings will be made at four week intervals. There is little prospect, however, of the employ ment of any considerable number of men on road work in Oregon this winter, according to R. H. Baldock, who points out that the rainy sea son will seriously (hamper work west of the Cascades where most of the work will be contracted. A few hundred men will be employed at clearing work on such projects as the Wilson riveer road, in Tilla mook county and the Wolf Creek cut-off in Washington and Colum bia counties.
