"A representative CEOWU was OUT tU7
the meeting held Friday night In the
Commercial club rooms to consider
the report OF the fair management. A
dividend OF approximately IS per cent
was declared. A discussion Of the dis
position Of this rebate was considered
as was the matter of the permanent
fair association and the request OF
Buhl for the county fair.
A motion was made early In the
meeting to determine the standing Of
those present on the rnatten Of turning
back the rebate, when motion was
made that the fair exhibits should be
sent east. A motion was made on the
question with the understanding that
the action was not binding. The mo-
tion prevailed. Then the roll call Of
the contributors WAS read and with q
few exceptions the merchants signifled
their willingness to leave their rebate
In TO send the exhibits away. 1t was
then brought out by Chairman George
H. Smith that all money would be re-
funded as promised and that II anyone
did not want to contribute to the new
fund that they were not compelled to.
This was necessary, he said, for some
would say that the fair association did

Then came the matter of where the
exhibit should be sent and this pro-
voked much discussion. One speaker
asked those In eharge to remember
that Idaho Is bigger than the city of
Twin Falls and Ii Justice to the state,
1t was the proper thing to send the
exhibit to Boise. Chairman Smith then
said that the Boise exhibit II sent,
must be gotten off before creditable
exhibit could be sent Then ]. NJ. Max
well stated that he felt that the exhi-
bit would do more good In the east
and said that while the local exhibit
established confidence here, it did not
result in getting the investors inter-
ested in the way that an eastern ex-
hibit would. ". 3. Palmer spoke along
the same line. Then the Spokane APP
pie show was discussed and consider
able favor was shown for the exhibit
being taken here. After a number OF
other places had been discussed 1t was
brought to q head by resolving to leave

as to the exhibiting places. .as
Next came a discussion Of the coun-
|ty fair and 1t was here that Buhi
Representative WAS given the floor and
allowed to voice the request OF the
lpeople from the west end. He said
+ that "the local commercial club has
us scared to frazzle by its solidar-
ity" In chanpioning Buhl as the
place to hold the fair, he said: tBuhl
mas an ideal location, with. 40 acres Of
we'll located land, one-Quarter mile
from the city. A fair association has
already been formed and we feel that
we are deserving OF the Twin Falls
county fair as we are the center of the
county. We need the boosting of Twin
Falls. 1t seems sometimes as though
Twin Falls has lost sight of the coun-
ty and state. We ask your thoughtful
consideration of our desire to locate
permanent fair grounds at Buhl. Sew
eral of those present expressed them
selves in favor OF granting the request,
with the understanding that this
should be known as the county fair.
Then the mooted question of the exhi-
bits was dragged out again and several
felt that Filler, Buhl and Kimberly
should be asked to contribute for the
eastern exhibit would help them. Af-
| ter some discussion as to the merits
of this, the Bull representative stated
that although he was not clothed with
authority to bind Buhl to the matter,
he thought that the request was rea-
sonable one and that Buhl would not
| be remiss in carrying out their assess
ment pro ratio. A motion was then
| made and carried to the effect that the
Twin Falls Commercial club should
| invite Bull, Filler and Kimberly to
| help meet the expenses of the eastern
exhibit. This was carried. The meet
| Ing then adjourned.
The report of the fair committee
showed that the receipts from sub
scriptions amounted to $4,000 and the
amount to be RENTED to the subscrib-
ers is $4,000. which makes the net
cost Of the fair $2200.00 The meeting
adopted motion to extend to- the
management vote OF thanks for the
| successful management.
