MODERN COMFORTS
AT MODERN FAIR.
Spokane Interstate Fair Has Dlscov.
erred Few Wrinkles.


II takes money to run a big fall
like the Spokane Interstate fair,
which will be given this year septem.
Der 20 to %. Something over $780,
600 win be spent this year. OF which
sum 100000 goes In premiums,
purses and attractions.
The admission to the fair Is no,
steep; yet the admissions form the
chief source OF revenue Of the fair.
The 100000 must be taken in dur
ing the six days or the fair goes
broke. for the s1O0,O0O has prac-
tically been spent before the opening
day, or must be paid out whether the
people come or not.
And any one who attended last
years fair realized that there was
more to see and more comforts at

than may be found at theater or cir
cns-telegraph and telephone service

Portable grand stand. resting places
for the weary, permanent quarters for
several lodges. many other things and
good restaurants.
There is another little source Of
revenue for the fair, at no cost to the
management and almost no trouble.
There is little wrinkle In modern
fair management. There are a dozea
or more restaurants where for most
moderate price one may eat clean,
wholesome food that is wen served
The fair does not run them. but there
is a profit for the fair.
Most Of these restaurants are run
BY Spokane churches. who adopt that
method Of paying on some church
debt. And any one who has eaten 4
ascent chicken dinner served by the
ladies Of his congregation knows that
the chicken was present. The conces-
sion sale OF restaurant and sandwich
counter space and soft drink booths
netted the Interstate fair So .OOO this
year, an advance Of 20 per cent over
last year, which is a sign OF a big
fair this year.

TWO DISTURBERS
ARE DROPPED
Professors Shinn and HysIop
Notified that Their Services
Are Not Needed.

MOSCOW, Idaho, Aug. 80. Profs
J. r. shinn. Of the horticultural de
partment, and R. e. Hyslop. of tn,

yesterday BY President Mclean. Of
the University Of Idaho, that thes
have been relieved from further con.
nection with the institution.
The notice of removal was signed
by M. e. Lewis. president Of the
board Of regents. and was. 1t is said
here, given to President Mclean more
than a week ago to be used at his
discretion. 1t contained instructions
for the two professors to turn over
all university property in their con-
troll to Prof. E. E. Elliott, dean Of ag-
riculture and acting director of the
Idaho experiment station.
It is said that the two positions
made vacant have been already filled
by the regents, although the board Is
reticent in talking Of the matter.
Last night President Mclean was In
Pocatello and Mr.. Lewis is also out
Of town, but it is understood here
that the changes are Indirectly the
result of the recent dispute between
Prof. Hiram T. French, recently re-
moved as director of the experiment
stations and the university president.
Both of the professors now relieved
were supporters Of Mr.. French, 1t IL
said. and were active in the dispute
over the management of the experi-
ment station.

WOOL MEN HEARD.
4rgue in FAVOR of Specific Duties
Before Committee.
[Frorn T-6e Trihune Rureau.


Washington Feb. 1O-Three classes OF wool man
ufacturers appeared before the Ways and Means
Committee to-day-thoss who profess to be satisfied
with the present duties, those who desire an ad
valoren instead Of a specific rate. and the carpet
manufactures who requested reduction Of the
coarse wool schedules the plea that the present
duty Is OF beneft to industry.
The claims OF the latter class were stated by ?.
J. NicNeir, who represented the carpet mills OF
Amsterdam and Yonkers. He declared that the
existing duty on carpet wool is excessive, for the
reason that no such wool Is grown in this country
and that the tariff not only protects no industry
but severely hampers the makers Of carpets, who
are forced to depend on foreign markets for their
entire supply Of wool He said that carpet wool Ia
used for no other purpose than its name signifies,
and declared that II the committee could discover
that it was useful in any other branch OF the IN
dustry he and his associates would cease to press
their case. He asked that reduction Of 10 per
cent be made. and said that such action would
mean a corresponding reduction 20 the consumer
as we'll as prove boon to the manufacturer
whose sales would be doubled.
Charles F. Harding, OF Philadelphia, a worsted
yarn manufacturer, declared emphatically against
an ad valorem duty on wool. He told how the
duty on tops came to be put in the Dngley tariff
and declared that it was fixed without any knowl-
edge on the part OF William Whitman, president OF
the Wool Manufacturers Association. who has
been accused OF using influence to obtain duty
on
