Wayman at the Fair.

w. M. Wayman was il Seattle
last week attending the Yukon
exposition. In a letter to this
office he writes;
| arrived here Tuesday morning
and have been able to visit the
Fair a couple of times. There is
quite a little work yet to be done
on the interior of a number of build
ings in the way of getting their
exhibits in shape, although the
outward appearance would convey
the idea that everything was in
readiness everywhere. am quite
proud of the Idaho building, and
while their exhibits have not yet
arrived, things will be 10 very
good shape a little later. The de-
lay in getting the exhibits here is
due to the different counties and
they will be put in place immedi-
ately upon their arrival.
Our Mrs. Fairchild is hostess for
the first of the season and she is
ably assisted by Mrs. c. A. Hoover
OF Blackfoot and Miss Barton OF
Moscow. Everyone is looked after
very carefully and the appearance of
the building is very homelike. All
Ii Idaho people who visit the fair
should report at once at the Idaho
Building and register. Let the
hostess in charge know where they
are from and they will surely re-
ceive the best of attention. The
University boys have been taken in
the sights this week and are Ger.

in place and running along smooth

"No living man of this age" says
a writer lever deliberately chooseto
adopt trousers. He was forced in.
10 them and all other eccentricities
Of dress by woman. In the very
earliest sartorisl experience of every
man he is swathed in a queer
bundle of incoherent bapdages by
a woman. Later she puts him into
cute lite dresses SO that the
neighbors can't tell him from his
little sister. Still later she cuts off
his curls and puts him into knick-
~erbockers and he puts on long pants
when she gives the word and not
before. That is all that man has
to do or ever had to do with wear
ing trousers. Woman forced him
into them in the first place anu now
he is afraid to yea anything else
for fear of making a sensation"

In regard to this ''swat the hy''
campaign that is being carried on
in the East we a remember when
there wasn't a screen door in the
entire country in which we lived
when a boy; when in summer a girl
with a big fly brush Ga limb b oxen
irom a tree with the leaves on or a
bunch of asparagus tops would
stand and shoe the flies off the table
while the family ate their meals;
they submerged the dish of but
ter in a crock of water on the table
to keep the flies from getting in it;
when every room in the house fair
ly swarmsd with flies. And there
was NJ more disease in that COM
munity than there is now. In fact
dozens of new diseases have been
discovered since the open door poll
cy has been improved on. People
lived Just as long and had
just as good a time then as they do
now even if they did have to fight
the flies. We don't advocate do
ing away with the screens by any
means but we do think there is lots
of bosh about flies spreading so
much disease"

oLDFIELD DEFIEs COLD
AND ADDS TO LAuRELs

Dallas, Tex, Dec. 9.--With his face
wrapped In woolen bandages and
wearing heavy fur gloves and fur over
coat, Barney Oldfield drove his 100
horsepower Benz in the teeth of Tex
as norther here yesterday afternoon
and broke the 50-mile worlds circular
track record which has stood for over
five years. He covered the half CEN
tury in 47:1S as against the old mark
4S:40;1-5 made by himself in Fresno,
CAL, in 1904. Oldfield got inside the
previous record at 30 miles and broke
every individual mark from 30 to so.
Oldfield's drive was most spectac-
ular, as the track was frozen in places
and the radiator of his car was filled
with alcohol to prevent freezing. At
the finish, Oldfeld's hands had to be
pulled loose from the steering wheel,
having been affected by the intense
cold at so nigh speed.
E. H. R. Green, member of the
American Automobile association
board, acted as referee and as the
meeting was sanctioned the record
will be accepted as official.

EARLY MORNING ALARM
CAUSES EXCITEMENT

An alarm of fire turned in at o.
clock this morning, which called out
both the East and West side hose com
panies, caused considerable excite
ment. The alarm was turned in from
the Santa Fe offices and was the re-
suit of sparks from a switch engine
setting fire to the roof of the extern
sive Gross Kelly company box factory
Just across the Santa Fe tracks from
the main establishment. Fortunately
railroad men in the vicinity mounted
the roof of the box factory and with
the aid of few buckets of water put
out the incipient blaze. Both fire
companies were on the scene in re-
cord time, the boys anticipating big
blaze. Had the fire gained any head
way, a big loss would have been the
result, as at this. time of year besides
the factory itself, large supply of
lumber is kept in stock The siren
at the power house made the night
hideous by its prolonged shrieks.

Charleston, w. Va, Dec. 9.-That
the killing of the two Americans, Can

murder, was the statement made here
by Alexander H. Wilson, who has

ter having spent more tnan month
In the army of the insurgents.
Wilson says he was in Panama at
the time the insurrection broke out
and then shortly after the killing of
Cannon and Groce, he and forty-sev-
en- other Americans went into Astra-

They fought at the battle of Man
aqua he says where twenty-six Amer
leans were captured by Zelaya's army.
