Officers Doing Duty.
A great deal of comment has been
elected at tie very successful handling
of the fair by the officers. Praise falls
to President Miller, Secretary Charles
F. Kuster, Treasurer Beemer and the
heads of the different departments.
The affairs have zone smoothly from
start to finish and everybody has been
treated as well as could be wished.
Mr.. Kuster has lost no opportunity to
render aid to the reportorial staff of
this paper, as in fact has every man
connected with the fair, and the only
reason The Republican has not been
given the first prize for full report is
that none was offered. The paper
would have received the prize rpremi-

for that has been the condition. The
only competition Is in the reports tele-
graphed to the Denver, Salt Lake and
Chicago papers.
