morning the announcement was made
by the physicians attending Colonel

WON PRIZE
Idaho Exhibit Of AgricuI-
ture the Finest in the
World
MUCH CREDIT DUE VESSELS

The Idaho agricultural EXHIBIT has
been awarded the grand prize ut the
wordl's f,lir in st. Louis. This means
that in the estimation ofan impartial
Jury the agricultural display from
this state is he beat In the universe
Idaho has thus obtained the high
est award 1t was possible to secure
for agricultural products. In make
ng the award the jury considered the
quality of the grains and grasses and
the manner III which the exhibit was
arranged, Thus Commissioner and
Mrs NJ. j. Vessels are rewarded for
their painstaking and artistic work
u prasinting the magnificent pro-
ducts of the Gem State. Especlnl
credit Ii due Mrs. Vessels for the orig
inality of her work which went Il
long ways towards attracting atten-
tion to the exhibit. The announce
ment of the award was made in st.
Louis this week.
When the insignificant sum expended
upon the Idaho agricultural exhibit
is cCnsidered, the winning of the
grand prize Is phenomenal nchieoe-
ment. Many states speIt more up
on their agricultural exhibits alone
then the entire sprI oprlation vt the
disposal of the Idaho commission.
Oregon especially made the strongest
kind of n bid for the grand prize. The
"Webfot"rs wanted the honor badly
because OF the prestige It would give
their state at the Ltwin and CLARK
exposition next year. They had the
powerful backing OF the Oregan Rail-
way & Navigation company. This
company Installed u magnificent ca
hiiit, spending money right and left
to make the best possible seowlng.

CASTLE CREEK HOT SPRINGS
Everything in Readiness for the New
 Seasons Business.

The Castle Creek Hot Springs hotel will open -Hc winter sea sons business about the first of November. Rreoaro- tory to that event everything is being put in first class shape. even to the big Concord stage and sage stock used between the Springs srd H9- Springs jun ton on the s. r. P- '6s F. railroad.
 Captain BargeT. f@Eous in all the west as a stage driver, and the Elana- ger of the Hot Spring. stuge line, has been in 4ne city for some time super
 intending the repairs on the big coach, it's painting, etc, and also gathering up his stock from the pastures wae-e it has been enjoying Its summer va cation. N-. ". IT. Sell, manager or the hotel at Castle Creek speD- yes-er- day in the city and Hin leave for home
 today with Captain Barger who, VIII drive through to the Junction taking a couple of days for the trip.
 Everything was paced in readiness and the captain desiring to
 give the big Wa goa G=tryout and also 10 tougEen up his stock a HtIe, with 1Ir. Sell organized an excursion yes terLuy afternoon for country drive They hitched six Aorses 10 the biz coach and filled it with Washington
 street capitalists, contractors, bankers.
 
 spent two or three hours going out the ] AlcDCwelI road returning via tae Tenn Ipe boulevard. The gentlemen, all of WaOm are Phoenix people, were greatly ] pleased with the country and saw sev-
 craI thousand acres of land they EvoIii i like to buy if 5ney had the money. And after they had the land they would like . to buy the stage ourGe, driver and all. ! to ride over it il, for it is a fine go- hicIe and rides like a Pullman, Lots of people go tO Castle Creek for the ! mere pleasure of the stage ride and lhe ] delightful mountain scenery the road runs through.
 8Ir. Sell says the season at Castle | Creek promises to be lively one, ! though the hotel opening is dated a month later than last year. when it ] was found Lhe opening was too early. l There are already many bookings for 1 entertainment a little later and it is ! probable there win be a big tourist tra- ivel soon after the election. The resort is a delightful place during the winter fmontas and there are lots of people
 who know it. Thee are o lo- more i who do not know it, else the big hO- ] tel would be crowded all Che time.
