Idaho Falls Times: The Bing-
ham County Fair opened Sep. 8,
with everything looking favorable
for the best fair of the association.
1t had rained all the night and the
dust was laid nicely. The day
dawned clear and bright. but in the
afternoon shower every now and
then would make the weather very
disagreeable for spectators and the
track very heavy, thus making it
impossible for any Of the horses to
show what they could do on a good
track with favorable weather. The
day was damp and chilly.-Thurs-
day dawned beautiful day and
was bright and pleasant. In the
forenoon the display of horses and
cattle was very fine. There was a
large display. To-day there was
somewhere near 1000 people on the
grounds. Visitors are in attendance
from almost every county in the
state, together with crowds from
the adjoining states of Montana,
Wyoming and Utah. 1t is the sym.
boGc exposition of that Grand Az
ricultural Empire comprising the
inter-mountain region whose geo.
graphical center is Idaho Falls. A
Fair at once satisfying and sugges-
tive of its fertility of soil, and so
beautiful as year after year to draw
multitudes from great distance.
Cassia County Times: A regu-
lar building boom has struck the
town. The cheering music of the
trowel, saw and hammer falls upon
the ear. The heavy crops of hay
and grain, the fat cattle and their
numerous calves, the great focks
Of sheep in better condition than
ever before, FL the heart of the
farmer with gladness and courage.
After SO long a time and so many
years with either short crops or low
prices strong and advancing mark
ket is fully appreciated. We predict
the next twelve months will show
more new houses, barns and all
ranch improvements than ever be.

Statesman: The present difficult
" of finding an adequate market
Tor the abundant fruit crops empha-
sizes the necessity of a canning
establishment. AS the matter stands |
here in the Boise valley, many hun
1red tons of choice fruit will be
almost total loss to producers
rom the impossibility of getting it
20 a good market in the green un-
cured state. The existence Of a
canning factory would have pre-
vented this heavy loss and would.
It the same time, have improved
he chances for shipping to dis
ant market the better class of fruits. |
