ELMORE COUNTY
FAIR A SUCCESS
Huge Crowds Assemble and Com
mend the Work Of the
Association

Despite the forboding wealth
err that ushered in the Elmore
County Fair, a motely crowd
was gathered at the gates on
Wednesday, the date of open
ing. The weather conditions of
the two following days was a
vast improvement over the
opening day and as a conse-
quence the crowd improved in
size.
This county and also Owyhee
county were well represented
by good sized crowds from the
smallest precincts up to the
metropolis of each county. In
the matter of exhibits Elmore
easily led pulling down first
premiums on fruit, vegetables
and grain, with but one excep-
ton = Owyhee county was
awarded the blue ribbon on
pears.
/ From those who have attend
ed the Pocatcllo, Blackfoot and
other fairs further north we
learn that Elmore's fruit exhibit
is the best seen in Idaho this
year, and the exhibit itself is
sufficient to substantiate this as
sertion.
Peaches from the Hall ranch
at Garnet have reached such a
stage Of perfection that no art
list could paint their color as
Nature has painted them. Sew
eral varities are displayed and
each variety is good to look up
on. Needless to say, first and
second prizes were awarded
this exhit. w. C. HOWE took
first prize on grapes that were
grown on his land adjoining the
city, and w. H. Gorill was given
the blue ribbon for apples rails
ed on his farm on Canyon
creek.
Owyhee county's display was
good, but it could have been
improved if a larger number of
districts had responded to the
invitation to compete. AS it
was the entire display from
that county came from the
Shoe Fly district.
The paramount fact remains,
however, that the fair was a
success and not a little credit
falls upon those men who haia
worked hard and faithfully
ward this elimination. Inspd
ing of it as a success ev,
thing is included from
horse races down to the pea
vender, and it speaks of
couragement toward the
more County Fair of 1910.

LAND FRAUD CASES
Witness Says He Made Assignment
 Before He Filed Desert Claim.

The Imperial Valley land case in the United States Court at Los Ange- les, in which various persons are charged with fraudulent dealings in desert entry assignments, is expen- sive. Each witness is paid $3 a day for attendance at court. With the exception of few, allH of the 130 per- sons subpoenaed have thus far been in attendance every day during the trial.
 The iurymen are paid $3 a day, so that the case costs about $400 a day. just for witness and jury fees This does not include the expenses of the court and the salaries of several of ficials.
 One of the witnesses this week was Fred M. Bevis an ice man, who testi- fled that he was approached by Paul McPherrin, one of the defendants in the case in March of 1903.
 'McPherrin asked me if I wanted to earn $25 easy" testified Bevis. CT said, yes, if there is nothing crooked about it. He told me to file an entry on desert land and sign an assign ment. l signed the assignment first and received $25, and then went to the Land Office and filed on the desert land. I didn't know where the land was and didn't care. l had no inten- tion of reclaiming it or of putting in any water pipes on the land. All I wanted was the $25 and l got it. don't know who the land was sold to or whether or not it was sold at all. ; The government attorneys allege that this land to which Bevis made out an assignment was sold to Mrs. Lydia Higgins.

MESQUITE LAKE COMPANY
Settlers Approve Proposed Water Con tract and Proceed With lncorpor
 ation

At the meeting of prospective stock holders in the new Mesquite Lake Water Company, held on Friday of last week at the ranch of the Me- Kim Brothers, about forty people par ticipated and many more were repre- sented by letters. The proposed con- tract between the water company ana the California Development Company was discussed in detail, and after some minor amendments 1t was ratified.
 The temporary directors were in structed to proceed at once. with the incorporation of the company under the laws of California, and the papers have been transmitted to the Secre- tary of State.
 The contract ratified by this meet ing is very similar to the one between Water Company No. and the Califor- mia Development Company.

FINE COTTON CROP SURE
Quality and Quantity of Staple Sur prise Experts and Prove Suita- bility of Soil and
 Climate.

From 100 bolls borne by one stock of cotton in the Loftus field at Melo- land, a pound and quarter of seed cotton was picked this week, The lint and seed were separated by hand and weighed accurately, giving re- suit of the proportion of a bale of 500 pounds lint to 14OO pounds of seed cot ton. That the best fields in the val ley will yield better than a bale to the acre is demonstrated fact and it is also plain to experienced grow CTS that a much heavier yield can be depended upon when farmers learn how to cultivate the weed.

HAY RATE CUT
San Bernardno Put on Equal Footing With Los Angeles on Rate From
 Imperial Valley Points.

The Southern Pacific has announced cut in the freight rate on hay from points in the Imperial Valley to San Bernardino from $4 per ton to $S5O per ton in carload lots.
 This gives San Bernardino the same rate which has been applied to busi- ness of this kind between valley points and Los Angeles, and while merchants of the former city are pleased at the concession granted, they make the plea that they should be granted even lower rates, as San Bernardino is sixty-fve miles nearer Imperial Valley than is Los Angeles, This is one of the points which will be urged at the meeting of the State Railroad Commission in San Bernar- dino next month.

BROOM CORN LOOKS WELL
Fields Near El centro Give Promise of Heavy Yield of Superior lity-Prices are
 High.

Two fields of broom corn, one of twenty acres, grown by Denver D. Pellet on the c. S. Morris ranch, and another of thirty-fve acres grown by A. J. Snee, on the Blackington ranch, near El Centro, give promise of pro- 'ducing heavy crop.
 Samples of the straw were brought to The Press office this week and placed on exhibition. It is long and fine, and the head is still in the grow ing stage.
 The estimate is that these fields will produce fully. a ton to the acre. Broom corn prices have been taking soaring flights the past two months, and the last quotations were $130 per ton for the best qualities. Valley growers stand to make a handsome profit on this seasons crop.
