Jim River Valley Fair Notes.
At the meeting of the executive com
mittee Friday, the matter of speakers fol
the fair was considered, and conference
held with the chairman OF the republican
and democratic committees to arrange
for big state rally in the interest ol
each party. Thursday forenoon, Oct
Goth, was decided upon as the date fol
the republican rally, and Friday
afternoon, Oct. 21st, set apart for the
democrats. kilograms we're sent to the
respective campaign committees at Chi.
cago, asking for speakers of national
reputation. 1t is believed Senator
Spooner and Gen. Bragg of Wisconsin,
can be secured, but If not, the
committees feel certain that
men of equal ability can
be obtained for each day. 1t is pro.
posed to make these rallies the largest
and most important ever held in North
Dakota, and each party Will put forth an
effort to make their own demonstration
the most successful.
It is designed to make the coming fair
not merely Stutsman county enter.
prise, but an exhibition for the entire
James river valley, in which all counties
have an interest and from the success OF
which every community will receive
lasting benefit. The association is di-
rected by some of the best citizens OF
Griggs, Barnes, Eddy, Wells, Foster, La
Moure and Kidder counties, and will
ultimately become the leading fair of the
state.
The business men of Jamestown are
wide awake and are giving time and
money to make the fair a complete
success.
One OF the attractions of the far, as
previously stated, is to be ''baby de-
partment." This is under the direction
OF Miss Greene and Mrs. Camp. They
desire to make this one of the most pleas
ing features of the fair and in order to
do so need the cooperation of all the
mothers of babies in Jamestown. This
is being rapidly secured and considerable
enthuslasm aroused among the ladies, as
this is to be made quite family affair
and matter of some patriotism-the
help Of anything SO pleasing and enter
tanning as group of babies going far to
make successful one afternoon of the
fair. The details are as yet not formally
arranged, but Mr.. Thorold and Mr.. A.
G. Tellner, the we'll known jewellers Of
jamestown, have generously offered ele-
CANT and substantial prizes.
The Jamestown fire department gave
the fair project hearty boost last night
by voting to take part in the opening
parade and to arrange for hose races,
hook and ladder contests, etc. The boys
are hustlers and will make thus a promi.
nent feature of the fair.

lodging houses will entertain to theil
full capacity, yet the management anti

the full capacity the lodgings of all the
residents in town. If there are any clti
