FRUIT FAII THIS YEAR PRELIMINARY MEETING IS HELD (ieueral Opinion Is That Pair Made An Annual Or lie Pursuant to a oall made by tbe offi cers of the liieuulal Piult Fair Asso ciation, a raeetiug was held at tbe Commercial Club rooms last Saturday afternoon to discuss tbe advisability ot holding tbe fruit fair this year. Since the organization of the associa tion tbe fan has been held every two years, year of the fall crop. The big success of tbe fairs have of late years brought up tbe discussion of making the fair an annual one and effecting a peimancut organization. Also the matter ot securing permanent qnarteis lias been seriously considered, but definite steps towards that end have uot been taaeu. The matter was brought up in the last meeting of the Commercial Club aud discussed at some length, und it was tbe opinion that the lair should tie held this year aud that a perman ent organ i -Hi i on be otleoted, but tbe matter was left to the officers of tbe association. With this end in view tbe'meetiug was called last Saturday, but the attendance was uot as large as wished tor. A number ot apple grow ers aud business men were gathered upjjou the streets Saturday to augment the small attendance which was on baud at the time aet for the meeting, aud the result was that a committee was appointed to solicit tbe growers thioughout the valley as to how much fruit they would exhibit and teport at an adjourned meeting next Saturday afternoon at the club rooms. C. D, Thompson was made tempor ary obarlman of the meetiug and w. 11. Walton secretary. The chair ap pointed as a committee to see the growers of the valley: F. W. Cutlet, J. A. Walter, F. 0. Church. A. C. Stateu, J. L. Carter, K. J. Molsaao, N. W. Bone, V. L. Davidson, O. A. MoCurday, F. M. Jackson aud Cbas. tucker. Chairman Thompson stated that the Couinieioial Club bad offered to help in the milking of tbe fair a euocess f ins year and he believed thetiusiness Men's Association wonld also give Us aid and support to the enterpilse. He said the last two fairs had been a help to tbe valley and city and bad been very successful, as the associa nun now had I2GU iu tbe treasury. I be matter of charging admission to the fair has been discussed at pre ceding fairs, aud it ban beeu the opin ion that it it could be avoided it would add to tbe suooeea of the occa sion. It would bring more people here and it would look much better to strangers to have a tree exhibit. 1 he expense of tbe fair must te raised in some way, aud tbe Arnold Sbows peo ple have suggested a plau which is meetiug with favor. 1 hey propose to furnish tents tor the street, similar to tbe plan adopted by The Dalles tbe last two years. Tbe exhibition to be free. They ask for concessions of other Bide streets for their shows, and will give a percentage of tbe gate re ceipts to the fair management, and enough revenue can be obtained from this to pay tbe expenses of tbe fair. the shows were exhibited here last year aud were conducted well and unobjectionable. They would also furnish entertainment to the fair vis itors, as well as to the home people. All of these features will be fully decided at tbe meeting next Saturday, and it is hoped that there will be a good attendance, not only Of the growers, but of the business men. I he date ot tbe fair will also re con sidered, many beiug in favor of hold ing the fair a oonple of weeks later than theretofore. One More Week. Dr. Klwood P. Lyon, Ph.
