THE FAIR PROJECT.

The Palladium a few days ago call
ed attention to the fact that probably
5000 Richmond people left the city to
attend State and county fairs in Indi-
ana and Ohio this fall The sugges-
ton was made, upon the advice of
some Richmond business men, that
there should be a genuine effort made
TO bring about the organization of a
fair association that would really be
an association; one that would have
for it's one aim the promoting of a
fair that would be commendable in
every way without thought of what
money there is in it, Successful
fair associations are not making mon
ey for any individual. Aside from
the secretaries, upon whom devolve
the greatest labor, and who are busy
from one year to another, there are
no salaries paid Every city that
has a successful fair recognizes the ac-
tual benefit to be derived, else there
would be an abandonment of the pro-
ject. A fair grounds of from forty
to sixty acres, with half mile track for
racing would be all that Richmond
needs in the way of a site. With a
fair association organized with bust
ness men and all other citizens inter-
ested in such a project and with de-
termination to pull together and
bring thousands of visitors to Rich
mond instead of sending thousands of
our town people away, there might
and probably would, be success the
first year Though it is too early
10 say what can be done for next year,
there is at this time proposition I'M
der consideration by certain Rich
mond men which may result in the
formation of a fair association, based
upon lines which will bring support
from all classes of Richmond citizens
and from the farmers of Wayne
county as well.

CONTRACT SYSTEM
IS DECIDED UPON
Construction Work on Pana-
ma Canal to BE Done by
the Best Bidder.
PLAN is CONTEMPLATED
PLOYED WILL PROBABLY BE
RETAINED BY FIRM AWARDED
THE CONTRACT.

Washing ton, Oct st has urrA
finally decided that the Panama canal
will be completed by contract In
few days the commission will make
public statement setting forth its rea.
sons for favoring the contract system
and at that time form of contract will
also probably be published. President
Roosevelt is known to support the
commission in its position
The change will not affect the EN-
ployment of Chinese labor. Proposals
for furnishing Chinese labor were
made under such conditions that they
can be transferred to contractors and
the terms can be fulfilled in such a
manner that the government can give
the coolies just as much protection as
it could if the government were. the
direct employer
Chairman Shonts of the isthmian
canal commission announced that the
proposed plan of having the canal con-
structed by contract will not affect the
personnel of the canal commission or
the clerical force. He also stated that
the laborers and employees of all sorts
on the canal will be retained by the
successful contractor.
Mr.. Shonts is engaged in preparing
a statement setting forth the condi-
lions and reasons for deciding upon
the contract system. This statement,
together with copies of the proposed
contract, will be made public as soon
as completed.
1t is likely that no disposition Will
be made of the bids for supplying Chi
nese labor until after the return of
Secretary Taft from Cuba, as he as
sisted in drawing the specifications
under which proposals were offered
and is much interested in the condi
lions under which the Chinese are to
be taken to theFisthmus
The decision to let the construction
of the canal to contractors was finally
reached at conference between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Chairman Shonts.
For nine months the commission has
had the contract. method under con-
sideration and Mr. Shonts and Secre-
tary Taft have been in conference
with prominent contractors for a long
time conserving the terms of the pro
posed contracts. A thorough investi-
cation has been made of construction.
