Col. C. H. Morgan returned, We'd
nesday morning from a trip to st.
Louis. While at the Missouri metrop-
oils, he called upon the states lead.
ing politicians and got a line upon
the contest for the senatorship. Col.
Morgan is strongly Of the opinion
that Mr.. Kerens will be the winner.
He thinks that Neidringhsus will
hardly be in the fight at all, when it
comes to the finish. When the
struggle comes the Colonel is of the
opinion that the line up will be
Kerens and Parker, with Neidring-
haus entirely out. The state chair
mau, he declares, is a mere tyro in
politics and not entitled to
to the senatorship Lamar Demo-
crat.

The Teller calls speciar attention to
the advertisement in today's issue with
reference to the combination which

people Of Lewiston Valley full advant-
HEe' gof an extended news service at
fniniinuns cost a scombinati ton has. been
made ana a competent corp Of solicit
ors In NOW starting out in this field with
a view Of securing subscribers to the
two papers at practically the. cost Of

.of the leading evening daiiy's Of the
Pacific coast with special leased wire
service besides the regular Associated
Press reports. 1t is full Of all the live
news of the day. This together with
The Evening Teller. which Is con-

NEW FAIR OFFICERS AND
DIRECTORS were ELECTED

eested that since no Fourth OF July
celebra ton would be held this year
here that it would be much easier for
the people to contribute more literally
to the success Of the fair. There
should be a general feeling among the
subscribers that on them much depends
the success Of the coming fair. It Is
absolutely necessary in order to secure
the attractions planned for and the
hanging Of liberal purses that the sub
scriptions must this year be necessarily
larger in extent than In former years.
Thus far this year there has been no
solicitation Of subscriptions for public
affairs which has lessened the burden
upon the people very materially.
r Many plans were talked Of with reia-
ton to the live stock exhibits and
special effort will be made to secure
some of the best blooded stock In the
country. It was proposed last evening
that the premiums for live stock be In
creased this year and that an entrance
fee be charged thereby lending an In
ducement to those who have the stock
to come in and compete on an equitable
basis. This n another matter that win
reeeive the attention OF the directors.

The matter Of dates was discussed at
length by those present and 1t was the
consensus Of opinion that the dates to
be selected should come directly after
the Spokane fair dates. which would
give to Lewiston the dates between Oc-
tober 10 to Is inclusive
The retiring directors of the assoc
citation were highly complimented for
their able and successful efforts in
making the last fair an attraction to
the people that will not soon be forgot

specially complimented for his tireless
very modestly thanked the efrusiveness
of those who concurred. He replied at
length casting all the sunshine and
roses of the big affair on the shoulders
of the retiring secretary. Van w. Has
brouck and stated that the success Of
any fair depended much on the efforts
of the secretary. In honor of the work
performed by Mr.. McGilvery he was
made ex-officio member OF the board of
directors. Mr.. Hasbrouck was also
