GETTING READY FOR
1HF BIG FAIR
This Years Fair to be
Winner.
Fair Board Is Making a Determined
Effort to Add New Features to the
Program.

James A. Knapp, secretary OF tho
Marion county fai', has been hustling
around of late visiting the fairs of
other counties. ~ the same time he
has been taking notes on the good
features o. foreign fai" management
and will attempt to apply some of
them here.
In the first place, Mr.. Knapp says
that he has noticed that in nearly
every town business men agree to
close down on one afternoon of the
fair. Not only a few of them close,
but all close This feature is worthy
of the notice of Marion business men.
Heretofore it has been customary for
some of the business houses to close
while Others will arrange to keep
open by sending part of their clerks
each day to the fair. Mr.. Knapp be-
lieves that Marion should keep pace
with the times and that every bust
ness house in the city should suspend,

operation for at least an Afternoon
OF one fair day. An effort will be
made TO get the business men inter-
ested in this plan.
According to the observations of
the Marion fair secretary, there are
only a very few ways in which other
fairs have the better of Marion and
Marion has enough original features
to far exceed the shortage. II is true
that Marion needs some turnstiles at
the fair ground gates but these ma
chimes are so expensive that the man.
agement does not deem the conven-
ience worth the money, especially
when there are so many other things
needed at the grounds.
The fair board is exceptionally en-
thusiastic this year and the members
are working exceedingly hard to make
the Marion fair the best ever. It Is
hoped that neat sum of money will
be cleared SO that some needed inn
provements can be made at the
grounds. It everybody boosts, the Ma
rion fair will be true TO the prophecy
Bigger and Better Than Ever" and
that is just what the fair board is
trying TO make it,

"Get Even"
AUDITOR. MAKES A REQUEST
Wants Appropriation for
Counsel.
Commissioners, 1t Is Hinted, Will Re-
quire that the Auditor Bring DAM
age Proceedings TO Compel Them TO
Hire an Attorney.

Another chapter in the controversy
between the Cbunty commissioners
and the county auditor over the pro-
position of paying for the road roll
er which was recently purchased by
the commissioners, was enacted this
afternoon, when County Auditor AL.
len filed petition with the commits
sioners, asking that they make an
appropriation for counsel fees for him
in fighting the mandamus suit which
was begun in common pleas court a
few days ago. The auditor recited
that the prosecuting attorney, who
is his legal advisor, is representing
the commissioners in the suit and
that he should be represented by
other counsel.
1t is difficult thing to tell what
will be the outcome of the action
which has been begun by Auditor
Allen, but 1t is hinted about the COM
missioners' Office that they will re-
quire Mr.. Allen to institute suit to
mandamus them to make the approp-
ration for his counsel fees.
The county officials have been fight.
ing over this proposition for some
time, and the end is not yet.

BUSY LOT OF BEAVERS.
Build Twenty-Five Dams and Hold
Up a City Water Supply.

Superintendent Retallio, of Marqu-
ettis Municipal Lighting Station, who
took several men to the Rainey Greek
county to open beaver dams in or
der to release some of the water
held up by them SO that the supply
in Dead River could be repIenished,
is of the opinion that the busiest of
beavers to be found anywhere are at
home in the district.
In Rainy Creek they have dams
about every 200 feet. And half doz-
en- dams were opened, with the result
that the level of water in Dear River
has appreciably raised, and that Mr..
Retallio has now learned that he
missed the largest dams, located
higher up the stream.
There are twenty-five or more dis
tinct dams in the creek. AS show
ing the capacity of beavers for good
working, the superintendent relates
the following incident: Close to the
power station family of beavers
recently established themselves in the
river and constructed a roomy house.
One morning the past week the men
found five trees that the beavers
bad cut down. The stump of the
largest was nine, inches through and
the others were mot much smaller.
The next morning these trees had
been cut up, branches and all, and
used by the beavers in the constTuc-
ton Of their house. The trunks had
been cut accurately in four feet
lengths.
Beavers are protected by law, and
of late years they have been rapidly
increasing III numbers. There are
hundreds Of them in the colonies es-
tablished III the Dead River district

GUN SHOOTS EIGHTEEN MILES.

The new twelye-inch wire breech

1t is understood that orders will

Compared with the present twelve
inch gun MARX x) which has
range of, roughly. sixteen miles, the
new gun has many points of superior
itv, the most important Of which is
its greater range. 1t is said to be
effective at eighteen miles, and those
who have seen it tested declare it to
be the finest weapon in the world.
