I'm launching the first Nezperce Fair
and Races it was not all the inten-
ton of the original promoters to in any
manner interfere with other similar
worthy projects, but, on the contrary,
rather to supplement and augment
their efficiency. The fair had its origin
In the knowledge of local business men
that they were located In the largest
center of the great Nez Perez county
agricultural section. and that therefore
they in a measure owed 1t to them
selves, to the people of the county and
to the world at large to provide ways
and means for an annual county fair,
at and by which the great resources
and advantages both active and latent
of this splendid country might be more
thoroughly advertised and more con-
vincingly demonstrated, and. further
that the rural population Of this terri
tory might be given an opportunity
for recreation such as their ardent
labors for the upbuilding of the country
and their loyalty to its business inter-

that a fair here would be the more
successful because large and important
agricultural sections to the south, west,
north and east of Nezperce prairie
would probably organize similar in
stitution and would therefore assist
materially in making this great ter
based upon good logic and sound judg-

project is now organized no such a
basis and the preparations for the first
fair have advanced to such a stage, as
to insure its unqualified and permanent
success. For this happy condition the
promoters, the management and the
community a.e to be congratulated, for
it was no mean undertaking. What has
been accomplished is In itself guar
antee for the future. The Nezperce
county Fair and Racing Association has
ben formed and Incorporated. 1t has
purchased sixty acres Of valuable land
for permanent grounds; has laid out
and finished fine and fast race track;
has erected good and commodious ex-
hibition building, grand stands. judges

stock; has fenced the grounds, graded
