Governor James Withycombe has consented to come to Tillamook and open the lair. In accepting the invi­ tation to come to Tillamook it dis­ commoded the governor's arrange­ ments. because he has to take part in the big event of the opening of the railroad into Coos County next week. But it is hard to keep the governor away from stock shows and county fairs, and mixing with the people who till the soil and those who make a : -lecialty of stock breding, for the governor is a walking encyclopedia i.n these i»,Iters and has done more t< improve agricultural conditions in Oregon than any one person in the state, and it is in the agricultural communities where Governor Wthy- cotnbc is better understood and ap­ preciated. It was the intention of those having the matter in hand to have the governor »peak on Farmers’ Day, but this could not be arranged, as Tuesday was the only day he was available. No doubt the dairymen and stock men of the county will be at the fair to give the gland hand to the man who has clone so much for their industries, even though it could not be arranged that he could be here on their day. . . The governor will arrive tn T illa- niook on Monday, on the late train, and will be met at the depot by the Fair Board and Mayor Brodhead, and the president of the Commercial Club has appointed Mr. and Mrs. C. I. F.dv.ards, Mr and Mrs F. R. Beals. Mt and Mrs I liad Robison, Mr. and Mr- W I Rcichcrs, Mr. and Mrs. O. A Schult?. Mr. and Mrs. H. T. Botts, Mr. and Mrs Henry Crenshaw, Mr. anj Mrs. J. C. Holden oil the recep- tit. i committee to represent the coin- • turcitl club and the Women's Civic Improvement League to meet the C„.-. ■ rnor at the depot and escort him to the hotel, giving him a good time chile he is here, for he has many warm and sincere friends in 1 illamook county who know that be is trying to do the right thing by the ]. .pie ami give the state a business­ like administration. Governor Withycombe will take part ill the business men's parade Tuesday and will formally open the fair with a speech at the fair grounds, lie will leave on the afternoon train so as to be in Eugene the next day.
