THIRD ANNUAL MEETING
DIl OF WASHINGTON COUNTY ASSOCIATION

hand discoursed the very best OF
music during the entire fair season.
and we take this opportunity to say
that that village is to be congratulated
on the exceptionally strong band II
has the honor to possess. 1t IS a
great credit to the place and Should
have much encouragement from the
towns people.
Thus endeth the third consecutive
annual fair of the Washington County
Agricultural Society, and all who
aided in making it such marked
success in every way deserve the
thanks of all who are interested III
the development of our county.
The military band gave dance at
the hall each evening during the fair
and they were very much enjoyed by
all those who attended.
The unfortunate coincident OF the
county and state fairs the same week
had very much to do with the atten-
dance in both cases, and it is hoped
that the county and state associations
will next year be sure to hold in diff
ferent weeks and thus insure much
larger attendance on each occasion.
The people of Boise should he given
an opportunity to attend our county
fair.

SOUTH AFRICA MAY
HAVE A MEAT FAMINE
Millions of Cattle and Sheep Have
Perished Through the Drought
and Rinderpest

WASHINGTON, Jan. flowing to the
terrible ravages of the rinderpest and
the prolonged drought, South Africa is
threatened with meat famine. During
the year ended May l last, according to
report to the State Department from
United States Consul Stowe at Cape
Town, no less than l. 400 900 head of cattle
were lost from these causes, while in the
same time the loss Of sheep was 20S6,00O
In many districts the drought has become
worse since May; all over the country
the farmers are selling their breeding
stock for slaughter, and the price of meat
is rapidly rising. In the cities it sells
now for from 20 to 40 cents per pound for
living are mounting to the danger point.
American flour and ,cornmeal are being
imported, the demand for the latter being
beyond the supply. Altogether, says the
Consul, the outlook for large trade with
the United States in cereals is good, and
he regrets only1 that the United States
cannot share in the large prospective
sales of frozen meat.
