The Huron Fair.

The Central South Dakota
District Fair, held at Huron last
week was very successful, both
in EXHIBITS and in attendance.
Some OF the finest stock ever
seen atMny fair competed for
prizes. Among those OF local In,
teres, being j.. II. Scliadc'S shorr
horn cattle, which took pre-
NUNS.
Tie agricultural e&iIibit, how
ever, is what attracted the great
est attentiou. This is q conceded
stock country hence no surprise
was occassion ed by fine cattle,
horses, sheep, hogs, chickensetc.
Put to think that the country
west 81 Huron aftuaiir raised
crops was il little strange to
many people Of eastern counties.
And yet there was all kinds OF
grains, prasses, vegetables, etc.

cultural exhibit was woa by

Hand County had u very good
exhibits but too small TO attract
attention. \ display Of this
kind, TO be successful, must be
extensive in qliantity, variety,
and tasteiuly arranged.
The big day at the fair was
Thursday, when the west end :"

The ball games, horse racing

ers later, which it is expected will be
not more than a few hundred dollars
above that of the San Francisco print
ers. In this event it would mean that
all the money expended in advertising
would go to local concerns and labor,
while there might be the advantage of
having the work done under our own
supervision.
| The abundance of Photographic ma
terial at hand would make possible a
pamphlet which would not only be at
| tractive to the observer, thereby insur-
/ ing a wide distribution, but as well
would permit of an artistic display
which would guarantee the preservation
of the folder, so that a large percentage
of the issue would remain in the hands
of those to whom sent as a permanent
advertisement of Hawaii
Your committee believes that by send
ing large supplies of the folders to the
various railroad agencies in the United
States, according to the arrangements
made by Mr.. Smith, there would be
reached at first hands a desirab BILE class
of readers, and that the lasting feature
of the advertisement commendS 1t to us
as the proper course in inaugurating
the tourist seeking campaign.
Respectfully submitted,

The committee then took up the mat
ter of the project of an agent at the
Coast and Chairman Wight reported in
favor of such development of the
general scheme, there being kept there
a man who would work under the direc-
ton of the main office and committees,
and who should as well have in charge
the general work along the Pacific
Coast.
This brought the meeting face to face
this subject Mr.. AIacfarIane reported as
follows:
Honolulu. January 9. 1903.
Mr.. C. L. Wight, Chairman of Joint
Committee Chamber OF Commerce
and Merchants Association.
Sir: Your committee, to whom was
referred the ways and means of collect
ing a fund to be expended in the in
terest of tourist travel. suggest that
such fund be raised in the sar?e man
ner as the fund raised for quarantine
wharf charges, and recommend that
the proceeds OF the present quarantine
wharf charge Of ten cents ton on al
bills of lading be diverted to a fund for
the encouragement of tOurist-travel 10
Hawaii. and in addition TO this, that
the hotels, railroads, car-lines, ete-, be !
asked to contribute toward this object /
Your committee has been given 20
understand that the proceeds OF the
monies collected heretofore on all bills /
of lading has been applied to certain
obligations for which this fund was
originally started. viz: The payment OF
the advances made by a certain mer-
camille house for the cost Of the quar-
antine wharf, and the cost of bulk
heading the different wharves in the 1
city. which have now been Hquidated. {
From this same fund your committee
certain advances have been
made.to the Board of Health for the
purpose of helping to defray the cost
of maintaining Board OF Health insPec-
tors and as the government is now
in funds, your committee feel that this
particular expense should cease at this
time.
In view of the above, your commit

the matter of location wanted to look
at rooms in the Young building, it was
decided that there should be held on
Monday another meeting, at which time
dorsement by the committee the report
Of Chairman Wight. This will be made
in duplicate to each body, so that there
may be consideration and action by the
chamber and association alike at meet
ings to be held next week. The COM
mittee then adjourned until Monday.
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1903-01-10

tee think it not unreasonable to request
the committee at present in charge of
the bill of lading fund to divert from
the first of January until the 31st of
December of this year the receipts from
such fund and that the fund to be
created for the purpose of encouraging
tourist travel to Hawaii be acquired in
this way.

The Earliest Surgeons.

Surgery is said to be older than
medicine. and probably. in its simplest
Offices, it is as old as human need for
It. Skulls Of the neolithic period give
evidence that the operation Of trepan
ming was then practiced.
The HiDdoo surgeon Susruta, who
lived several centuries before Christ.
had more than a hundred different
sorts Of surgical instruments. and there
10 abundant proof that his cOuntrymen
were skilled in amputation. lithotomy
and operations for hernia. fistula and
even for restoring lost ears and noses.
Hippocrates. who lived 400 b. c., was
q skillful surgeon, and discoveries by
Ebers and others In Egypt prove that
the ancient Egyptians practiced sur
gerry. with suitable instruments. nearly
5000 years ago
Among the six hermetic books OF
medicine mentioned BY Clement OF
Alexandria was one devoted to sur
gical instruments. The Greeks are
thought to have learned the HindoO
methods. and the Romans were skilled
y surgery.
