THE COUNTY FAIR.
Enthusiastic Citizens Subscribe 5000 For
Permanent Location OF The
Sharp County Fair.

A meeting was held at the
court house Friday night for the
purpose of taking steps toward
securing the permanent location
of the Sharp County Fair in
Evening Shade.
This meeting was largely at
tended by citizens OF the town
and surrounding community,
and, in fact, was one Of the lar
gest meetings of the kind ever
held in the town.
The proposition of securing
the location of the Fair was dis
cussed by quite a number of
those present, and the entire
house was enthusiastically in
favor OF having the Fair in Eve
ming Shade, all pledging their
heartiest support to the suc-
cess of the enterprise.
When subscriptions were called
for, it was found that the meet
ing had not been indulging in
idle talk and was in earnest
about the Fair. A total of $500,
in amounts ranging from S100
down to So, was quickly raised
from among the citizens present,
and at another meeting held
Tuesday night it was found that
the committee appointed to 80.
licit subscriptions had swelled
this amount to 5000. The COM
mittee appointed at the meeting
Friday night to secure grounds
on which TO hold the Fair re-
ported that II had selected a tract
Of ground just south of town,
and this land, comprising %
acres, and which is we'll located
and admirably situated for a
Fair ground, will be purchased
and donated to the Sharp County
Fair Association if the enterprise
is located here.

The benefits that are sure to
follow from the holding Of a
progressive Fair in Sharp county
would be hard to estimate.

ROTSF VALLEY LAND VALUES.

The old timers have seen land in
this valley raise in value from ten to
800 an acre. At each increase
they have sagely remarked that
the top notch has been reached and
decline may be anticipated. But the
decline never came, and will not for
many years to come. We may look
forward to a gradual increase in land
values until the $50 dollars an acre
price is reached for raw sage brush
land. 1t takes people acquainted with
other sections to place a fair value on
our land in the Boise valley. For in
stance, Mr.. w. s. Bailey, in an inter-
view found elsewhere in this issue,
shows what the prices of lands else
where are; and he gives facts and fig
ures to prove that investments in
Boise valley lands are certain money
makers. 1t is a fact that irrigated
lands are worth more than non-irri-
gated, soil, climate and market con-
ditiOns being equal. The crops are
greater, more varied and more GER
tain. When you stop to think that
year in and year out, the climate in
the Boise valley is more nearly per-
feet than that of any other section in
the Northwest; that the soil is fully
as rich; and that with the develop
ment of the mining resources of the
state, and the added railroad facilities
that are bound to come, we have a
market unsurpassed in the world; you
can commence to appreciate the force
of the arguments advanced by Mr..
Bailey and others. Men are buying
Yakima land at $250.0O an acre, while
in its raw state. Similar land can be
had here for thirty to fifty dollars an
acre. The people who are investing
in the Yakima country will realize
good money on their investments, but
investors here could double or thrible
their money before land values reach
the present price of Yakima lands
Now is the time to make money by In
vestment. In FIVE years from now land
will be worth three times what 1t Ii
today. The beauty of 1t all 1t that the
land will be actually worth the mon
ey-:the crops produced will justify the
price.

A GOOn IDEA.

The people of Grand Ronde valley
of Oregon, have spent thousands OF
dollars in advertising, and they have
decided that leaflets, booklets and such,
are not the best method of advertising
Henceforth when man writes for in
formation, they will give him a three
months subscription to one of their
weekly newspapers. 1t is expected
that he will be able to form a better
idea OF the country by reading the
actual doings, happenings and prog
ress of the country, week by week than
he can from literature issued spas
medically. This literature is never is
sued systematically and is seldom ac-
curate. The newspapers boost and
boom, but once in while they tell the
truth. The intlligent man dos not ex-
pect to find perfect section, and con-
sequently criticism, if honest and just,
does no harm. If a man comes to a
community because of the newspapers
he has read, he will stay, because he
has alrady weighed the advantages
and disadvantages in his mind. The
Tribune is convinced that the Grand
Ronde valley has hit upon the best
and least expensive method of adver-
Using.
