Comment p artial List of Awards
Sports Enjoyed and Barbecue
Perfect Success.

Farmers Day was complete sue
cess. The day was fine, the crowd
large, the barbecue beyond criticism,
and the display of products better than
any one imagined could be produced on
so short notice. Those who saw the
exhibit were impressed by the charac-
ter of it. 1t was not large, but very
select.
The exercises of the day opened by
the addresses at the Auditorium, at II
O'Clock. r. B. Greenwood called the
meeting to order and asked about fifty
of the leading sitizens to the stage.
After few appropriate remarks he in
troduced Major Fred r. Reed as chair
man of the meeting. The major was
brief in his remarks, which were along
the lines that American Falls has all
the resources, and intelligent work is
the only thing necessary to make this
city of Impotence. He. introduced IN
turn Hon. Robert Lansdon, candidate
for secretary of state, Hon. L. H.
Sweetser, candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor, Hon. c. McDougall, candidate
for attorney general, and Hon. Joseph
Fallon, who made short addresses.
The address of the day was by Sena-
tor w. B. Hepburn, who held the audi
ence for an hour and a half. His
remarks were not along ordinary politi-
cal lines, but were forceful from the
beginning.
The sports began about o'clock, and
were the chief attraction of the after
moon.
The baseball game was called about
O'Clock and was witnessed by only a
few, the crowd preferring to remain
and take part in the other events
scheduled.
The display of products attracted
much attention all day. The awards
are given below, but description of
the exhibit will have to await more
opportune time:
