Strawberries there, the finest berries

tanned about 500 crates, or total
of 1000. Each crate contained
"a boxes, SO the strawberry growers
there picked and shipped 1000, 900
boxes of lucious berries. The price
they received averaged abont $3.50
a case or nearly $50, for the
crop. It was all gathered and sold
within four weeks. All of which
shows what small portion of the

County Fair and Races.

\. Once more the Examiner wants
Ito call attention to the necessity of
inauguratlng a county fair this fall.
Bear Lake is getting to that point
where this important matter ought
not longer be delayed, if we are to
be as progressive as our neighboring
counties. Even Pocatello, where
they have not half the material to
draw on that we have here, can and
does have nice fair.
In addition to the fair a weeks
racing program could be arranged
for, which would attract big crowds
from all over the southeastern part
of the state, western Wyoming and
Northern Utah.
1t is evident that the only way
this can be accomplished is for a
dozen or so of our citizens to get
together, form stock company
and go ahead with the proposition.
1t is not too late to start in now and
have fine fair and racing meet this
fall.
