rho Tribune has frequently called
..oDtion to the fact that the Kuhn
ntorasts of Pittsburg were seeking
or fields for development in west

.,itallsts have been in negotiation
rtb the Gem Irrigation District and
rth the promoters of other enter

rho Kuhns are not only engaged in
No construction of irrigation pro-
octs but also in the erection of
hover plants. They have some
the finest power sites on the
snake river. The amount of power
Dossible of development is almost I'M
limited; and in consequence new
markets are being sought.
According to the Weiser Signal F.
MARI, of Jerome, Idaho, was in
ser Friday of last week to meet
Nth Weiser citizens relative to fur
bishing power for pumping plants
Along the Snake river. While in
Weiser Mr.. MARI gave out the fol-
owing interview:
"You may say emphatically we

CANYON GOES DRY
WITH Big WHOOP
THE GREAT WET AND DRY CAM
PAIGNS WOUND UP WITH
ALL FEELING GOOD,
Some Were Disappointed Over the
Election, but That Usually Follows
Such Events-Question Is Settled
for at Least Two Years More and
All is Well,

Tor at Least Two Years More and
All is Well.
1t was a sweeping victory and
there is no mistake about that.
Canyon County went dry by nearly
twenty-five hundred. The vets
were so few and far between that
there is no use in considering them.
The three Nampa precincts went
wet; the balance of the county in
Guiding Dixie slough went dry. Some
precincts went dry four to one and
others went dry ten to one. 1t was
only a question of majorities. The
more votes there were the larger
was the dry majority.
The election passed off very quiet
ly in Caldwell. There was no street
fights and few heated arguments
The people were good-natured Re-
ports from other parts of the county
are that generally it was a quiet
peaceful election. The vets didn't
have anything to say and the Grys
busted themselves piling up MAORI
ties.
About $500 votes wer cast. Re,
turns indicate that the drys cast
$3.50 votes and the vets 3O66 votes
making the dry majority 2424 Two
years ago 3470 votes were cast al
the local option election and the
drys cast 1852 votes. The vets
cast 1903 votes.
Drys Celebrate Victory.
The dry victory was pretty gener
ally celebrated throughout the coun
ty. In Caldwell street parades
bombs and fireworks, singing and
shouting were INDUCED in by al
who felt the spirit of the occasion
and we judge there were very few
who were not happy. The DIR!
forces marched through the streets
singing Glow Dry I am" and other
songs of similar import. The vets
didn't say a word. In fact there
was little for them to say. They
didn't have any talk coming.
In Caldwell in 1909 with TIE
votes cast the drys had a majority
of 1893. This election, with 1885,
votes cast, the dry majority was only
382. The vets ran their vote VI
1877 to 500 in the town and tht
drys from $50 to S82. In Nampt
the vets two years ago carried the
day by a majority of 20. This time
their majority was 457. The dry
carried Emmett in 1909 by 214, bu
this time by only SO. Payette show
ed the strongest relative vote for thu
drys, a majority of 4SO at this cleo
ton as against 269 two years ago.

FAIR TO Be GREAT
SUCCESS this FALL
ATTRACTIONS WILL BE ON THE
FAIR GROUNDS DAY AND
NIGHT THIS YEAR.

Canyon County Fair Association
Adopts New POlicy-First Night
Fair in History of Idaho-Direct-
Ors Anticipate that Feature VIII
Prove Huge Success.
The officers and directors of the
Canyon County Fair Association have
started something new this year.
The fair ground will be open day
and night at the coming fair. Prep
arations have been made to beau
tifully illuminate the grounds and to
have all the free night attractions on
the fair grounds. The night ad-
mission fee will be only rs cents.
The plan has been tried in other
states but never before in Idaho.
Everywhere it has been a signal sue
cess and the directors of the Canyon
County Association feel that it will
be the same here. If the weather is
good the night entertainments and
displays at the fair grounds will
prove immensely popular with all
classes. In years gone by the free
attractions have been made on the
streets. The streets are not the
best place for such features as there
are no accommodations for the peo-
pie. At the grounds will be plenty
of seats in addition to the grand
stand.
The prospects for the fair this fall
are unusually good. The displays in
every department will be better than
ever; the attendance will be larger;
the attractions will be greater and
better. The people of the county
are greatly interested this year.
President French and Secretary Clark
are in receipt of numerous inquiries
from every precinct in the county.
Each letter states the interest of
the neighborhood; expresses a de-
sire for space for exhibition pur-
poses; and a belief that there will be
a good attendance from that partic-
ular section. The officers feel great
ly encouraged over the outlook.
In the past at every fair some
particular part of the county has
acted peevish and unresponsive.
Some years it was one section and
other years it was another. This
year all sections are together and
enthusiastic for the fair. The peo-
pie in the different parts of the
county are just commencing to fully
appreciate the benefits to be derived
from the enterprise. In fact the
people of the county are getting bet
ter acquainted and in consequence
they feel kindlier toward each other.
Most scoundrels are pretty good fell
lows If you only know them. We
dare say that Judas Iscariot was a
sociable sort OF a cuss In his way,
and had many warm, personal
friends.
The Tribune assures the people of
the county that the 1911 fair will ex-
coed anything of the kind ever seen
in Idaho. It will eclipse all past
efforts In points of interest and in
display of the resources of the coun-
ty For a decade the Canyon County
Fair has stood at the top in Idaho.
During the next decade 1t will
achieve the top notch in the north
west We have the people, the
climate, the soil and the conditions
In every respect to make this the
greatest county fair in the country.

Entrywomen Must Give Marriage
Dntn

Married women must give the date
of their marriage when making
proof of land entered before regis
ters and receivers of United States
land Offices. These officials are in
receipt of an important communica-
ton charging them to see to it that
the proper dates of marriages are re-
corded so that there will be no con-
fusion of the records. The general
land office evidently proposes to be
capable of solving the age of a
woman through the PRONUNCIATION of
this order.
The instructions are considered i'm
portant. In part they are as follows:
"Under the provision of the act of
March 2, 1907, the citizenship of
the wife follows that of her husband,
If married since the passage of this
act; therefore when a married wo-
man makes proof before your Office
you should require her to give the
date of her marriage, and II mar
riage was subsequent to the passage
of the act of March 2, 1907, she
should also be required to furnish
evidence of her husbands citizen
ship. If he is native born, her testi-
mony should show the fact, but If
naturalized or has declared intention
to become a citizen of the United
States, record evidence must be fur
nished in accordance with circulars
of November 6, 1906, and April IS
and November z, 1907. Particular
attention should be paid to the pub
lie sale of isolated t:a.t cases for
this rule applies"
