WILL HOLD STREET FAIR
next FALL
Valuable Premiums Will Be
Given by Citizens to
Exhibitors.

Emmett will hold a street fair in
the fall a few days prior to the op-
ening of the Canyon county fair
Whether it will last one day or
two days has not yet been decided,
but while it does last it will be a
humdinger and worth coming miles
to see.
This decision was reached Tues
day night at a meeting of the Com
mercial Club, and a committee of
three. consisting of F. C. Berry, C.
D. Bucknum and B. C. Bowers, was
appointed to solicit premiums for e1-
hibits and prizes for sporting events
from the merchants of the city. The
yesterday morning and the fact that
not a business house in town but
cheerfully consented to offer a pre-
MUM and give to the undertaking
its most hearty support shows the
favor with which the proposition
was greeted.
The movement was started last
fall, and in spite of adverse crop
conditions a splendid showing OF
the resources of the Emmett coun-
try was made at the county fair, the
state fair and the National Irriga-
cation congress at Chicago. This
year, with the prospect of a bum
per fruit crop and the promise of a
prolific yield of all kinds of farm
and garden products, last years dis
play will loom up something like
Fred Barnes peanut roaster would
by the side of a monster mogul
freight engine in mountain coun-
try. The premiums will be liberal
and worth while making an effort
for. The announcement of the fair
at this eartly date is made in order
that special effort may be made and
care taken by the orchardist and
farmer to produce the highest type
of products The prize winning ex-
hibits, it should be understood, are
TO become the property of the Com
mercial Club to be used as an ex-
hibit from Emmett at the county
fair at Caldwell and the state fair
al Boise. We want to show not
cnly our neighbors but also the |
strangers who may be pres |
ent at those fairs what the En- |
nett country can produce when it |
humps itself little. We've made |
some astonishing showings in the
past when we didn't half try Let's
SHOW the world what We can do
when We do try So get busy.
In addition to the display of pro-
ducts, there will be music by bands,
al Kinds of sports, entertaining spe-
cial features, plenty to eat and a
world of hospitality and good cheer.
We're going to tear the old door off
its hinges and bid everybody well
come; but we want the entire Pay
cite valley to be our special guests
on that occasion Dunn's 'Punkin
Vine" will have its rails into the
city by that time and its cars will
be running into the Emmett Union
depot. Maybe, when Jim Hill hears
of the doins he'll make a special
effort to have his own transeonti-
mental railroad in operation by that
time. But if he can't make it, it
will be all right-we'n celebrate
that event later.
