make the general daily admission fifty

make the general daily admission fifty
cents instead of rs cents.
There is some complaint made over
the raise to fifty cents. The directors
reluctantly made the price 80 cents.
1t was forced to raise the price of ad-
mission or abandon the fair.
The grounds and improvements are
valued at $SO,OOO.OO; the Indebtedness
is 81, 100000; 1t is absolutely neces-
sary to pay this debt, hence the raise
of admission to so cents.
Also remember there is not fair in
the northwest that charges less than
so cents. A season ticket will only
cost five cents a day more than last
year.
To those who wish to attend the
fair more than one day or for the
week, can purchase a season ticket
for one dollar and fifty cents, good for
the five days of the fair, reducing the
cost of single admission for the five
days to 80 cents a day.
Every indication points to a bigger
and better fair this year than ever.
Do not think this is a Caldwell fair.
It's Canyon county's, and its up to
every precinct to make a winning ex-
hibit.

grudges, we have all Outgrown any

SCHOOLS
Will DEBATE

The Tribune is in receipt of
a communication from the State
University concerning inter-school
debates among the public schools of
the state. The circular says:
1t is recommended that the high
schools form themselves into league
for the encouragement of work in de-
bate and defamation And, in &C
cordance with the precedent set by
our neighboring states of Oregon,
Washington, Montana and Utah, and
such other states as Wisconsin, Min
nesota and California, it is recon-
mended that the League be confined to
public high schools. Any school may
arrange any debates with any institu-
ton other than a public high school
that it may desire; and it is urged
that every school afford its students
as many opportunities to debate as is
consistent with other work Of the
school. But buch debates are not con-
tests within the League.
The object of the league is not to
determine the debate championship Of
the state, or Of any section Of the
state, but to develop ability in public
speaking. 1t is strongly urged that
the mere desire to win debates be
subordinated to the work of develop
ing the ability of the participants, OF
interesting the public in the work Of
the schools, and of arousing interest
in important questions of the day. II
is urged also that debate work be re-
garded as part of the regular work
of the schools, and not merely as an
intruding, incidental activity.
The contests shall all be held on
the third Friday in March. The
schools shall debate in the year 1909

FAIR DIRECTORS STATEMENT
What the Fair Is-What Is Costs to
See IL.

SOO Ats
The writer believes a few of our
Canyon county residents do not fully
appreciate our county fair and realize
the great benefits every citizen OF
Canyon county derives therefrom,
many directly and all indirectly.
The fair association was organized
in 1900 and has been from its organi-
cation one of the best county fairs In
the northwest, growing from year to
year until today many state fairs DO
not compare with it. It's great success
is due to many causes, of which We
will not at this writing speak OF.
The fair is success. Its the great
est advertising medium that has ever
been put before the public. 1t is an
educational feature Of great value to
the agriculturalist, horticulturalist'
stock grower and business men OF all
classes.
Its exhibits surprise many of our
own citizens, to say nothing OF the
stranger who visits the fair, and
carries away with him in mind many
surprises that he never forgets and
which lead him to locate in our grand
county.
This fair advertises the districts Of
precincts that display their products
The association provides the funds fol
it's support and the labor to care fol
it. It's up to the producer to suppl!
the exhibits and win the prizes. Tn
fair cannot be a success without III
support of Canyon county residents
Help support the fair and by so doln
you are directly benefitting yourself
The association is the owner OF fin
new grounds, new buildings, elegan
race track, and are improving tn
grounds by setting out trees and parl

burden.

Denison, Aug. 23.-In the proceed
ings for the disbarment of Attorney
Harding, the defendant has been on
the stand and subjected to searching
examination by the attorneys for the
prosecution, Sims and Lally.
Altho he admitted he went to Coun-
ell Bluffs in June, 1908, to settle with
the implement firms who were credi-
tors of his Client Henry Hennings of
Schleswig, he denied that he had per-
sonal knowledge of the schedule of
property of his client, and the sched-
ule of his debts which We're presented
to the creditors and upon which they
settled at 20 cents on the dollar. One
of the ten charges against him is that
he induced George Menagh, a we'll
known business man here, to buy
property which he knew was mort
gagged to the Farmers Bank at Char
ter Oak. The property is said to have
been mortgaged at the time Harding
is alleged to have given a written
guarantee that it was not. On the
stand he said he had not looked on
the records and did not know of the
tee. His partner, Kahler, said it was
not mortgaged, he declared, and he
thought this was true.
