Senator De Lamar acknowledges tn
fine pears sent HIM by H. w. Dormal
for exhibition at the worlds fair, an.
in his letter of acknowledgment sug
gestS that state fair be held next fal
and that the finest exhibits be appro
priated for the Chicago show. This il
a great scheme and one that woul(
meet with general approval if plac'
for holding said fair could be decided
upon. The capital city would natur
ally suggest itself as the proper place
but experience has shown that BOis,
City is utterly incapable of handlin,
any enterprise that is not a skin game
for Boise. The town that handles
state fair in Idaho must not only Civ
money but much gratuitous work t,
the enterprise, and that is not the styl
of the capital of Idaho. Governo
