No Blame Attached.
The dissolution of the present fair
association would be calamity to
Caldwell. 1t should not be done,
and The Tribune is convinced that
1t will not be done. To insure
against the dissolution of the fair
association, stock holders have des-
ignated Mr.. d. D. Campbell as trus-
tee of their stock for period of 6
months. These stockholders own

something over 13 of the stock. AS
long as that amount of stock Is
owned by those opposed to dissolu-
ton, 1t cannot be accomplished. In
this connection while considerable
bitter feeling has been engendered
against Messrs. Froman & MOsby the
blame should attach to those who
were foolish enough to sell their.
stock. FrOman and Mosby could see
nice profit; people generally
thought the present fair grounds
were too valuable for fair purposes,
and stockholders wanted to sell.
People must have known that Messrs.
Froman & Mosby expected to make
profit on the deal. They were not in
the fair business and did not expect
to engage in it. But while this is
true a moral responsibility devolves
upon them as owners of the stock of
the Canyon County Fair Association.
They have bought stock in a semi
public corporation organized and in
corporated for the sole purpose of
holding an annual fair in Caldwell.
They are beneficiaries of the public.
Their organization has accepted coun-
~ money for the purpose of carrying
on and perpetuating the Canyon
county fair. We think that when
Messrs. Froman and Mostly realize
the feeling of the people: appreciate
their legal and moral responsibilities,
that they havo accumad that thov
will agree to a redistribution of the
stock. They are public spirited men.
They are not blamable for anything
already done, but will be should the
fair association be dissolved. Let
us hope that they will not persist.

History of the Fair.

| The Canyon County Fair associa-
ton was organized In 1900 for the
purpose of holding an annual agri-
cultural fair, at Caldwell. Since its
organization six successful fairs have
been held. These fairs have never
paid expenses, but they have been
profitable to the town and county
in other respects. The year the fair
association was organized, a tract of
land approximately 23 acres in ex-
tent, was purchased from Mr.. How
ard Sebree. The consideration was
100000. It should be borne in
mind, that Mr.. Sebree, then, as he
has done on several occasions since.
sold this tract of land at a very low
price, because he knew that the fair
was not and could not be made a
profit making institution. The fair
was carried on by the business men
OF Caldwell by sacrificing their time.
money and energy. Four years ago,
under permission of a state law, the
Fair association applied to and re-
ceived financial assistance from the
county. The first year the county
commissioners donated $500. 90, and
the following year they donated the
same amount. Two years ago the
county put up 100000 and last year
$l134.71. Real estate has so in
creased in value that today the fair
grounds, originally purchased for
100000, are now worth between
100000 and $25 100000. A great
many people thought that the as
ISOLATION should sell the grounds and
with the proceeds purchase more
land further out. Messrs. Froman
and Mosby, two of Caldwell's enter
prising real estate men, saw the val

to buy up the stock Today they

messages on record without a mention
Of the word tariff. One paper, the Des

the opinion that the president sup
pressed his tariff views because Of fear
that some one would thwart his other

In order to gain any benefit from .

This means of improving your health
does not require much time in the
morning before dressing. and at night
after disrobing, and let me say that
five minutes regularly given at these
times each day, is more valuable than
an hour or two several times a week
at gymnasium. 1t is the little work
day by day that accomplishes the real
good, whereas something is lost dur.
ing the longer intervals.
4 good exercise Is circling he body
about the hips. The trunk y turned
only on the hips and describes wide
circle from left TO right, then from
right to left. All of the muscles about
the hips, az well as those of the alb
domen, are exercised. and the whole
digestive apparatus Is stimulated. Its
practice is very beneficial when there
is inactivity of these parts. If you
are troubled by nervous dizziness this
exercise will help you. for by it YOU
will get used TO turning your head
in circle. IL this is hard to do at
first begin by performing 1t when you
are in a sitting position. You will
then grow used to it by degrees.
An excellent exercise for giving
