MANY HORSES ENTERED
FOR HARNESS EVENTS
EXCELLENT EXHIBITS
BY COUNTY GRANGES
A m ost refreshing, in stru ctiv e and
in te restin g display is th e line of
seven of th e n ine granges of M ultno­
m ah county, a rran g e d along an en ­
tire side of th e pavilion. R efreshing
is the word. T he vivid colors of th e
preserved and n a tu ra l fru its, set off
w ith th e greens, reds, ru ssets of the
trim m in g s adhered to by th e various
g ran g es are a refre sh m e n t and rest
to th e eye.
As an educational fe a tu re th e large
v ariety of fru its, g rain s and veget­
ables is a revelation. I t is doubtful
if th e average P o rtlan d resident
would believe th a t all of th e species

All th a t they lack is
