HUSTLE FOR
STATE FAIR
Business Men and Citizens Favor
the Enterprise

Walla, and I may say that Il Is my
honest and candid opinion that It
would not be many years-just a few
when a fair here would be more
successful than one at Spokane. We
have az large a territory to draw from
as Spokane. and besides the condi-
tions conducive 10 the success OF an
enterprise like the one under consid-
Grafton are far better and superior
here. and a schedule of dates could
be so arranged that no conflict would
be made with the Spokane fair. Vast
benefits are certain TO flow from its
establishment. and | regard Il as de-
serving OF every ones assistance and
support"
You can say for me, said former
Mayor Collins, that am heartily in
favor of the movement looking to the
establishment of an interstate fair In
the city. Occur d'Aiene is possessed
of all the necessary advantages TO
support and make an institution Of
this kind a success. and every bust
ness man and citizen ought 10 give
the enterprise their loyal support. II
they will do this and commence aud
organize Immediately. and then get
right to work and establish It. there
Is no reason why We should not have
a good fair this fall. I am fully con-
WINGED that II IL going to be q sue
cess, and besides benefiting the bust
ness interests OF the town IN every
respect II Is going 10 operate very
benehcially to the surrounding eoun-
try. as II will encourage among the
farmers the raising % blooded stock
aud the very best Of grain. garden
and orchard products Of all descrip.
lions"
Il am very much in favor Of II, =
said Y. Blanchard OF the Occur
d'Alene Inn. and am willing 20 give
all the support / can toward the en-
terprise. and believe II Is deserving
Of the support Of every man Who hai
/. the city's interest and welfare al
heart. Occur d'Aisne IL Ideally sit
uated for q fair and race course and
/ can see no reason. II the peopls
come 70 the support Of the enterpris'

Coeur d'Alene evening press. (Coeur d'Alene, Idaho) 1907-1929, 1908-05-09

Considerable enthusiasm and inter-
est prevails among the citizens and
business men In the city over the pro-
posed establishment Of an interstate
fair and race course in the city. The
matter has been thoroughly discussed
by the people OF the city. and Is still
the chief subject of discussion on the
streets and in the market places. A
representative of the PRESS called on
number of the leading business
men and citizens OF the city with the
purpose of ascertaining their views
upon the enterprise, and all expressed
themselves enthusiastically in favor
OF 1t.
Judge r. T. Morgan, when seen,
said: Il look upon the proposed es-
tablishment of an interstate fair In
the city as a worthy and deserving
enterprise, and one that every bust
ness man in the city should be inter
ested in and boost for. The benefits
TO be derived from an enterprise Of
that character. not only to the city,
but to the surrounding country. are
too numerous to dwell upon. There
is not any doubt but that innumer-
able benefits will flow from It and
there Is not any doubt but that every
citizen and business man in the city
viii be benefited by It, II not In a d.
rect, then in an indirect way. The
enterprise. as It is now proposed, II
10 be entirely a local organization,
and viii be organized and governed
by local people. The Commercial
club is doing everything within is
power to further the organization
and is confident that II win operate
benefcfally TO every one in the city. =
J. r. Sears. the promoter. said:
Il am fully convinced that an inter.
state fair would be Of vast benefit ID
the city, and the city possesses ali ths
advantages that Is required to make
Il a success from the start, and aftei

in my mind but that IL viii be !

PLEADS GUILTY OF ASSAULT
Dispute Over Alleged Debt Ends in
Court

Dispute Over Alleged Debt Ends in
Court.
The case of the state of Idaho VS..
J. E. Gerten was heard this afternoon
In the court OF Judge Steele.
Gerten was charged with battery
on the person OF Jay ]. Parker. He
appeared without attorney, and upon
being asked as to what his plea in
the case was. entered plea of guilty.
After the plea had been entered Judge
Steele thought it advisable to hear the
testimony of witnesses present in or
der that the circumstances surround
ing the offense might be taken into
consideration in assessing the fine.
According to the testimony given by
the defendant, Parker was indebted
to him to the extent Of something
like 5000, and he went to him to col
lect the money. Parker stated that
he was unable to make payment at
present and Gerten accused him of
evading his debts, at the same time
shaking his hand at him and telling
him that the debt must be paid
Parker then, according to the testi-
mony given, seems to have accused
Gerten of telling falsehood concern
ing his business, and called him a
vile name. Gerten then said he
struck him, and also struck him
again afterward when he repeated
the name. Parker's story was to the
effect that Gerten came to him for
money; that he stated he was not
able to pay him, and that in their
conversation over the matter Gerten
became angered and struck him. He
said this angered him and he called
him a vile name. He went to the
phone. he said, to call the police.
when Gerten intercepted him and
again struck him, and again he re-
peated the name. He denied posi-
lively having called him any names
before he struck him.
Gerten was fined 81 and costs.
