The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1908-10-10


ed. The mistake which the manage
ment made was in permitting people
to continue to enter as those coming
in last crowded those who had paid
for seats. The directors will doubt
less build an addition to the grand
stand before another year.
Horticultural Hall.
On entering horticultural hall from ,
the north entrance, the visitor finds
New Plymouth to the right with
splendid display Of fruit and vegeta-
bles most tastefully arranged. This !
year is the first that an attempt has
been made by the people of New Ply
mouth to have display at the fair.
But by the number of blue ribbons in
evidence they will make a showing
which will advertise their country as
1t never was before The pear exhib-
il is particularly fine; one plate Of
five pulled the scales at pounds and
fifteen ounces and as they are near
neighbors of Payette they also have
red apples which are hard to beat.
Opposite the New Plymouth exhibits
are individual exhibits from near
Pitinger nursery, and a display Of
flour from the Nampa mill, 1t being
the only display of this kind in the
hall. The west wing of the hall is all
| IA s.,
der-sugar beets, corn, wheat and
oats. Pumpkins and melons that are
the wonder of all the visitors. Then
when it comes to apples and prunes
they certainly are entitled to the claim
that the Payette Valley is the home
of the red apple. There are peaches
and plums of almost any color. Messrs.
Brainard and Wood, two veteran real
estate men appear to be in charge. By
the way, we don't want to forget to
state that Mr.. Alspach has a fine in
dividual exhibit which is included in
the precinct display.
, The Emmett people had hard. luck
/ getting their display from their homes
to the fair grounds. Their car was
. loaded Saturday and arrived at the
fair grounds on Tuesday afternoon. OF
3 course no one was to blame except
, the jerkwater line, for which to call
: it a railroad would be a misnomer.
!, However the Emmett display is rev.
e elation to even the Oldest inhabitant.
|, 1t was noticed that a number OF blue
ribbons decorated many Of the vege-
a tables. The Tribune will have more
o to say next week about the Emmett
}. display.
d In the center of the south wing of
d Inc building is located the Parma ex-
hibit and 1t is a daisy. r. H. Weed is
e In charge and was also one OF the
e principal factors in gathering the pro,
IL ducts, but that was easy when 1t came
70 TO getting the fruit for the reason thai
Mr.. Weed picked 20 varieties from one
r orchard and eleven varieties OF grapes
b guess that's going some. A number
blue ribbons were captured by Parma
