RUPERT'S FALL FAIR

Outside Districts Taking Active
Interest and Will Make
Big Exhibits

 

The Prince Rupert Fair is >
looming up bigger every week as
the time draws near for the an-
nual exhibition. Many outside
districts are taking a keen inter-
est in the show and preparing to
make exhibits and compete for the
prizes. Several new members
have been placed on the advisory
board. G. L. Dennis will repre-
sent the Naas; R. Braun will rep-
resent Skidegate, and Robt. Col-
lett, Lakelse. W. A. Myers is do-
ing a lot of boosting for the fair
up the Naas and will look after
the advertising. ,

Skidegate has announced that

Prospects Are Unfavorable Save from district points.
Message — Decline

One of the main features of the
fair will be flights in a aeroplane
by Prof. Baldwin, an old bal-
loontist. He will make four flights
in three days.

Industrial sites inside the ex-
hibit building will sell at $2 per
lenial foot. All spaces are ten
feet deep. Outside spaces will
sell at $10, $15 and $25.
