CORD ATTENDANCE
PROGRAM INCREASES DAILY

Monster Parade— Band Con
certe. Dancing Every Night
The program of the Malheur
county fair to be held at Ontario
week after next is increasing in
size almost daily. When the fair
opens on September 10, a larger
crowd is expected than has been
attending for many years.
Reports indicating a record-break­
ing attendance are coming from all
parts of Malheur county as well as
from Payette, Washington, and Gem
counties in Idaho.
Racing and Wild West Program
John Tons o f Vale has been en­
gaged by the fair commttee to se­
cure the wildest of wild horses and
the best o f good riders for the
racing and rodeo program. Ms-.
Tons is scouring the hills and p'ains
for outlaw horses and for riders
who are able to stick it out on all
comers. An unusually large amount
will be offered in purses this year,
in fact a total of approximately
$5000 will be offered during the
three days o f the fair. This, in
addition to the fair premiums of
$2000 and the free prizes totaling
in value $ 500 , will make a total
offering for the three days of
$ 7 , 500 . It is not expected that any
o f this money will be in the treas­
ury when the fair closes, but that
every cent will be called for. Auto
and motorcycle races have been ad­
ded to the sport program with at­
tractive purses for these events.
