THE FAIR ASSOCIATION

The Southeastern Idaho Fair
Association was organized in 1902
and holds its annual event in Sep
TENDER each year when natures
horn of plenty reveals such a
pageant for review that it's edu,

One thing hat threatens evey Id

lands within the fairgrounds be-
come 80 valuable within a few
years after they are enclosed for
this purpose that somebody buys
up the controlling interest and
votes himself into the real estate
business, but this is one of the
"growing palms, that new states
have to look out for.

HUNTER & BECKLEY. GROCERs


In the spring Of 1901, the time
when the Mackay Branch was
about to be built from .Blackfoot.
Jas. and Geo. Hunter, of Delta,
Colorado, sbought out the fruit
store operated by Thomas John
SOD, and proceeded to handle
fruit and groceries. The opening
OF a grocery in a very active way
at that time was the occasion for
some uneasiness among the other
gEocers, and it was a matter of
no little discussion as to whether
trade would expand or diminish
by reason of the new railroad and
the loss of the ''team freightiug.'
The older firms continued to do
more business than ever and
Hunter Bros. built up a phenomi-
nal trade. They dealt for cash,
both in buying and selling, and
their store soon came to De one of
the busy places of the town. In1
1908 they moved from Main to
Bridge Street, and used the brick
building now used by the Bridge
Street Drug Store, besides having
three warehouses for storage
Their business has always

every day, no sooner reach the

Hunter, the senior member OF
the firm has always made it 8
practice to get his mail in the
morning and check up his invoices,
deduct the percentage allowed
for cash and send the checks.

for a days work and he has most

his universal good nature and
patience in his dealings all day.
Certain it is that their stock has
increased steadily with their in

November 1906 they moved into

they have 80 X 40 feet of floor

can unhesitatingly recommend him

son took particular pains on his
return to let the public know that
he had come back to make Black
foot his home for good and that
he had reason to expect a fair

turn for good and faithful service.
He has done his part and the peo-

Liquor License Taken Away From
-Four SalOOnkeeperS.

Two women were among those
who appeared before the License
Board at Louisville, September 10
and attempted to show cause why
their license to sell liquor should
not be revoked. Another feature
which added interest was the pres
ence of the Rev. Hunt, pastor of
the Twenty second and Walnut
street Baptist church.
One saloonist was deprived of
license to sell liquor largely on the
evidence adduced from witnesses
who were sent to the saloon by
DR.. Hunt to trap the women.
Five prOprietors of saloons char
ged with having violated the
Sunday closing law were given a
hearing before the License Board
yesterday and of this number, it
is said only one has a defense
which is likely to prove valid.
This is &. M. Anderson, who con-
ducts a saloon at the Palace Hotel
and his case was taken under sub
mission.
Those whose license were revok-
ed are: Mrs. A. G. Pepper, who
had saloon at Twentieth and Mark
ct streets; Mrs. Mary Cain, whose
saloon was at Eleventh and Rowan
streets; Peter Bitz, who conducted
a saloon at Twelfth and Grayson
streets, and Frank Refs, who had
"A saloon at Fifteenth and Green
streets.

continued.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO
Their UnCeaSing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every
three minutes. The kidneys filter
the blood. They work night and
day. When healthy they remove
about 500 grains of impure matter
daily, when unhealthy some part
of this impure matter is left in the
blood. This brings on many dis
eases and symptoms-pain in the
back, headache, nervousness, hot,
dry skin. rheumatism, govt, gravel,
disorders of the eyesight and hear
ing, dizziness. irregular heart, de-
bility, drowsiness, dropsy, deposits
in the urine, etc. But if you keep
the filters right you will have no
trouble with your kidneys.
Nelson Davis, who lives on
Letcher Avenue, Richmond, KY,
and is a plasterer by occupation,
says: "Doan's Kidney Pills
brought relief to me when all else
had failed, and l had begun to
fear that there was no cure for me.

The Winter Coal Supply.

With the very first advent of
autumn, before the leaves have be-
gun to put on their first tints or the
warm breath of summer to abate,
the noted warning of an approach
ing coal famine is sounded. In
fact, the stereotyped campaign to
prepare the victimized public for
the chronic rise in the price of
fuel was begun several weeks ago,
when there was a temporary fall
in the Ohio river below the coal
boat stage, which had been almost
continuous since the spring tides
set in, by the announcement of an
increase in the price of up-river
coal to an advanced figure. But
few days elapsed, however, when
coal barges began to descend from
Pittsburg, and demonstrated the
absence of any excuse for this i'm
position upon the victimized pub
lie. But again the alarm was
sOuneded, and from the other fac
tor in the scheme we are told by a
wholesale dealer in Lexington that,
practically, all except the portion
directly adjacent to the Ohio river
is threatened with a coal famine
on account of the shortage of cars
to haul the coal from the mines
and shortage of men to mine coal,
resulting in shortage of produc-
ton. -Courier-Journal.
