exhibit, there is this year profusion
of tender articles that have not been
heretofore grown to any great extent.
For example, tomatoes have not been
SO mluch in evidence before and they
were generally small or green. This
year there are plenty of them on
plates and on vines, showing that they
not only grow in profusion but they
ripen too. Not only has the season
been good, but people have been get
ting the proper selection of seeds and
getting them acclimated, and this
brings results.
The same thing may be said OF
corn. There is lots of corn, of many
varities, and much to the surprise Of
everybody, some very fine specimens
came from Darlington, on Big Lost
river, which is at an altitude Of about
$500 feet. A very fine collection of
grains, ,grasses, cabbage, corn and
other things were sent down by the
Antelope Valley Land & Stock COM
pany, of which Hon. Wayne Darling
ton is manager.
Some new varieties Of foodstuffs
are in evidence this year, such as
Dutch cabbage, or rabbi; two kinds
of yellow turnips: turnip cabbage,
pear tomatoes. One of the remark

DRAWING FOR CAREY LANDS AT
ARCO

Arco, Idaho, Sept. 14.Burrup r.
Meyer OF Collingwood, Ohio, was the
lucky man in the Big Lost River Ir-
rigation company's land drawing here
today His registration number OF
523 was the first to be drawn from
the barrel by Mrs. HUFF. Joe Long
fellow Of Medford, Ia, was second,
Harmon Forbes of Kansas City was
third. W. E. Largrave, Pullman car
inspector who came from Chicago in
charge of special train OF land
seekers, was fourth; Christ Kaiser
Of Breckenridge, Colo, was fifth; Joe
McCarty OF Nebraska, sixth; ]. l..
Crawford OF Oklahoma, seventh, and
s. M. Wells Of Salt Lake, eighth.
Out of the first so numbers to be
drawn, two Pocatello men appeared
r. Seymour, whose number
was 614, and f. w. Hassan, whose
number was ITS. Both gentlemen
are employed in the engineering de-
partment Of the Short Line In the
Gate City. The first Idaho man to
draw number In the drawing was
j. B. White Of Twin Falls.
When the drawing began this
morning 579 had registered for the
event. One thousand people attended
the drawing, and ample accommoda-
tions had been made for their enter
tainment by the people of Arco.
1t is expected that the finest and
choicest selections will be made In
sections "a and 35, township 80, in
the heart OF what is known as the
Powell tract OF the Big Lost River
segregation Of $4,000 acres. 1t is be-
lieved that in this neighborhood
town will be built, as 1t Is the center
of an excellent community.
In attendance upon the drawing
are Secretary Of State Robert Lans-
don, representing the state land
board; Norman Belcher, a special rep
OF the land board. and
Congressman T.. r. Hamer, besides a
score Of men prominent In big affairs
in the Gem State.

success -Pocatello Trib-

GREATEST AUTO TRIP

On Saturday, September 18th, the
Philadelphia Press will start relay
Of automobiles across the continent to
deliver Taft's message to the manage
ment Of the Seattle Exposition. and
they will attempt to cover the 1927
miles In twelve days.
Two men will accompany the autos,
and will take Nrns resting on the
trains and riding the machines. Each
city they pass through has been asked
to give the machine the right OF way
without speed limit through its
streets, and 1t will pass through
Blackfoot about the 28th or goth Of
September. Chief of Police c. F. Hill
lard has written, giving assurance Of
the good wishes and right OF way OF
Blackfoot In this gI/at test Of the:

hope that our western weather clerks
will give them all clear days and starr
light nights.
They come in via Soda Springs and

what was needed to prove our case. -
Teh verdict rests with the visitors
who have come heer to see.
Great credit is due to the officers
Of the fair for their hard work in
the interest Of the country at large.
Some Of them have been letting their
own work go and worked to get
things ready for the fair for couple
of weeks before, and have put In all
day and part Of the nights this week,
bolting sandwich and cup of cof-
fee occasionally and staying on the
job. The whole country receives the
benefits OF such work and sacrifice,
and these men should be remembered.
Best Of Races
The races this week are source Of
delight to all lovers of this kind of
sport, and the comment heard on
every hand is that the races are the
,best ever seen here or elsewhere In
the state. The large number OF
horses. and the good character OF the
animals as we'll as the men in charge,
have gone far to make the fair sue
cess.
One new feature OF the races is the
GuideIess Wonder, the mare that
PAGES the track In 1.05 without rider
or driver. The Indian relay races pos

THE RUMMAGE SALE

The Village improvement society
will begin series Of rummage sales
on Friday the 18th of October, to
raise money to pay off the debts they
have incurred in grading the ceme-
terry. They expended nearly thou
sand dollars In cash. and are obliged
to raise some money, but do not want
to ask the people for 1t. They ask
only chance to conduct rummage
sale In the usual way, and will rely
on the loyalty and thoughtfulness of
the people to give them as much bus
mess as they feel justified In doing.
Persons having rummage are re-
quested to report to Mrs. Hansborogh,
president, and If 1t does not suit to
hold the rummage until the sale be-
gins the ladies will find some way to
store 1t until that time.
Inspect the articles you do not
use much, and see what you can furn-
ish for the sale. 13tf

and the pumkIns. They are large and
wei lripened, and are there in such
profusion that 1t excites comments
from everybody. The potato exhibit
covers a large number of varieties,
many of which are very desirable. The
Idaho Rural is one of the leaders, 1t
having been introduced in this coun-
ty some years ago by j. e. Steele of
Iona, and experience has shown that
1t is about the best sellers known In
America. Geo. Robethan has 55 acres
of them, and he has several times
sc00ped up few hills for exhibit,
and the real estate men grabbed"
them all to send away to their branch
houses. Mr.. Robethan will be one of
the heavy contributors in making up
the carload to be sent to Chicago to
exhibit at the National Land Show.
All the exhibitors will be asked to
donate their exhibits and perhaps
some more to be sent to Chicago to
be exhibited there Anything that is
perishable will be placed in cold stor-
age to await the big land show.
There has been very good attend
ance of local people from town and
near by, and many from Pocatello and
Idaho Falls, but not very many from
the farms. The two weeks of wet
weather just passed has kept farmers
from harvesting crops that have to be
attended to, and these bright days are
being used to gather in the crops.
Investigation shows that hundreds Of
persons are absent from the fair for
this one reason, but thanks to their
loyalty, they have sent in the products
to make a fine exhibit, and that Is

with them from time to time when
they had anything to submit.
p. G. Johnston appeared before the
board and stated that about 1000
feet in the Kimball addition on the
west side of Shilling avenue has been
graded, fenced and trees planted with
view of laying the pavement 1S
inches from property line, and that. a
recent order of the board calls for
the pavement just little east Of that
line, making 1t necessary to move the
trees and the grade a foot and half.
He asked them to consider the mat
ter of conforming to the original
plans and making an angle In the
walk at the crossing of what was
known as Orchard street, just south
of the Miners Ditch, absorbing the
eighteen inches in the street crossing,
and If this were done they could go
ahead laying pavement as soon as the
workmen could get to it. He would
be leaving for Chicago with stock in
a few days and If such easement could
be made, he would contract for pave
ments before leaving. The order was
made for the easement, after which
the board adjourned.

The big fair opened with fairest OF
weather and best of exhibits in agri-
cultural departments, and all visitors
rejoioed at the quality and abundance
of the products from farm and gar
den. Those who do not visit the fair
of 1909 are missing much in exhibits
and in races.
The educational exhibit was small
this year, the exhibit Of apples was
about up to the standard, as were the
other departments. The farm and
garden products are far better in
quality and are there in more album
dance than they have ever been be-
fore, showing that people responded
royalty to the appeal to farmers to
supply products for this exhibit and
to be sent to Seattle and Chicago to
exhibit there. g
A large number of eastern people
are attending the fair and to say they
are surprised at the display of crops
is putting it mildly. Some Of them
even raise the question as to where
the products were raised, and these
have found carriages ready to take
them out into the fields and orchards
where they could see the crops stand
ing as they grew. Some Of the mar
