made by the directorate Of the Lewis
Ton Fair that other dates be named by
the Nezperce people owing to the fact
that cooperation along this line would
work to material advantage in securing
horses for the race meet for both places.
The advisability OF taking dates one

the plan OF taking the dates a week

thought to be more advisable and it is
believed that when the full directorate
