FAIR
IAAAN.
Is Held at Little Falls.
---Farmers Well
Pleased.
Good Stock Found a Ready
Market as Did All
Products.

Market Day was much more Of IL
success than the first one and was
beyond the expecta lions of our peo-
pie. The farmers began 20 arrive
early in the day and by s O'Clock the
market place on Kidder street was
filed with teams and cattle. Before
noon there were more than seventy
five teams at the market place.
Buyers were quite numerous and
farm produce found q ready sale.
New mich cows brought a good
price when they were in tirst-class
Some there were, how
ever, that We're rather old and did
not bring much money. Cattle suit
able for beef brought Il good price
but as at the previous fair some. Of
the steers brought in could stand an
other months feeding. Calves,
sheep, pigs and poultry were about
all disposed of.
Had it not been for the strike
many foreign buyers would have
been here, but the way things are
they could not get here and il they
did there are no freight trains run
ming or means whereby they could
ship their goods. Parties were COM
ing from New Brighton, Tower, Dull
nth, Brainerd and Superior to buy
stock and farm produce, but were
unable 20 come.
The farmers seemed we'll pleased
with the success of the fair and
seemed to fully understand the stu
alton and why it was that no for
eign buyers were present.
The next fair will be held on
July g. and it is to be hoped that all
conditions will be more favorable.
