FRIDAY, MAY 27, 1921 PUBLIC IS URGED TO HELP MULTNOMAH COUNTY FAIR ON ITS FEET FINANCIALLY W ith th e refu sal of the county com m issioners to come to th e assistance of th e M ultnom ah County F a ir it has become necessary for th e fa ir associa tio n to m ake an appeal to th e public for help T he only financial support th is y ear and fo r th e fu tu re as fa r as can be seen is th e an n u al tax fund of $3,500 w hich m ust be used fo r prem ium s. T h at sum is not larg e enough by one-half. O rdinarily it is n o t larg e enough to pay th e livestock prem ium s. A p ersisten t effort is being m ade, it appears, to get th e fair aw ay from G resham . T h a t idea may have had some influence w ith th e budget com m ittee in refu sin g to give th e fa ir th e financial su p p o rt it is en tttled to. All th e o th e r counties in th is sta te and in W ashington a re receiving b e tte r su p p o rt th a n th is one— and th is is one of th e rich est counties in th e whole n o rth w est. It is up to th e people now to keep th e fa ir a t G resham and to keep it alive and flourishing. T h at indebtedness of $19,000 m ust be liq u id ated in som e way. T he sale of th e new stock issue of $15,000 will not q u ite do it b ut It will come close enough to give th e present sto ck h o ld ers g rea t en couragem ent and p u t th e in stitu tio n on a firm foundation. T he money to be raised will go to pay off ; som e of th e debts and a successful fa ir th is y ear will in su re a la rg e r and b e tte r fa ir next year. The w hole m a tte r is in th e h an d s of th e people. If they w ant to keep th e fa ir h ere they m ust come to its rescue. Soliciting for su b scrip tio n s to th e capital stock will be continued with th e expectation th a t th e new issue of 3000 sh ares will all be sold The salv atio n of 'th e fa ir depends upon raising th e money needed to put the association out of debt and th e money will be used for th a t purpose. T here a re m any prom ises of su p p o rt and q u ite a n u m b er have alread y subscribed. A la rg e r num ber of stockholders will cre ate m ore in te rest and p u t new energy in th e fair. O ther d irecto rs will be chosen in some instances and new ideas will certain ly be a g reat help, as th e conditions change and the county developes. T he canvass for stock su b scrip tio n s in th e te rrito ry east of Rockwood w ill continue in ch arg e of E. L. T horpe, one of th e p resen t board of d irect ors. H is h ea d q u arte rs will be at th e O utlook office w here word o r phone calls will be tak en fo r his atte n tio n , and it is confidently expected th a t the responses to all appeals for su b scrip tio n s will m eet w ith a h earty response. T h ere seem s to be no o th e r way to save the county fa ir and everyone is in vited to help.

J. Zwtbel, of P o rtlan d , who Is seeking a loca tion here for his w oodw orking fac tory for the m a n u factu re of spindles, sh u ttles, baskets, boxes, and various wood novelties. T he proposition as to a site did not come in Just th e way th e busi ness men had been led to expect but those present who expressed th eir opinion agreed th a t it appeared to be a safe plan and th a t th is was an ideal location. One of its m ain advantages is th a t tt Is n ear the source of supply for th e wood used, which is Oregon maple, ald er and dogwood, much of which conies from th e co untry east of here. T he site desired is close to th e Beaver S tate M otor works. A bu ild ing, 40x100, is proposed of fireproof construction. T he p la n t could be in operation tn about 90 days. Mr. Zwibel already has a p attern shop In P o rtlan d w orth about $10,- 000. L etters w ere read from mills on th e coast show ing th a t orders were practically w aiting for the prod uct proposed. Mr. Zwibel Is quite fam iliar w ith th e line of business. He was accom panied at last n ig h t’s m eeting by Mr. B u tler and son, who are Interested In locating the factory here. It was considered th e proposal should be carefully Investigated and a com m ittee, consisting of K. A. Mil ler, L. L. K idder and A.
