IN THE FAR WEST.
HOW freighters Kept the WhislSy's Weight
and Quality Unimpaired.


A, man az one Of the hotels the other
night told an interesting story of how
the freighters of the far west used to
supply themselves with whisky, saws
the Louisville Courier-JournaI. He
said that some years ago when all
freight was hauled in wagons. he hap.
pened TO make a trip of several hun
dred miles with train of wagons car
rying merchandise to remote stations.
Nearly every wagon contained one or
more barrels of whisky.
The first night out / noticed" said
he, great activity around the whisky
barrels. The wagons each had a
hatchet-nnd a gimlet. They would
knock up hoop, bore a hole, draw all
the whisky they wanted, then put
about as much fine gravel in the barrel
as they had drawn out whisky. drive
plug IN the hole and put the hoop back
in place.
II learned afterward that the bar
rels were weighed and the whisky
tested before it was turned over TO the
1relghters. and that when it arrived at
It's destination it was again weighed
and tested. The gravel supplied the
weight end bulk and the quantity re-
NAMED the same, and this is WHY IL
was used instead of water TO supply the
place OF what had been taken out"

The general and sub committees oil
the fair held an enthusiastic meeting at
the meeting house on Saturday night.
Each department reported that they
were meeting with splendid success and
1t is feared that CARTS Hall will not be
large enough to display all the exhibits.
kirkham q Sons were instructed to
purchase a supply OF the fair colors and
all the public buildings and business
business houses will be asked to use
them in decorating as the town should
be painted in these colors during fair
week. A number of novelties were
proposed and will be introduced so that
there will be something attractive dur
ing the entire time the fair is running.
The price OF ADMISSION has been put as
low as possible being only l0c and 3 +.
1t was decided to hold another party on
Sept. % at which the price of admission
will be lowered and the final voting for
the queen will take place then and it
will doubtless be an exciting contest.
