Rainmaker's Festival.

At a recent meeting OF the direct
ors of the Intermountain association,
ways and means were discussed
whereby the fair this year-from
October 10 to 15-might be the big
gest and best ever held. Never be-
fore in the history of the assocla-
ton has there been such activity
displayed SO early in the season.
Every section of the state Is looking
forward to the fair with anticipa-
lions of keen delight and they have
been flooding the Office of the SEE
rotary with letters asking for space,
inQuiring about premiums, seeking
information about the various feat
ures to be included this year and
one hundred and one things COIL
corning the fair. From Oregon to
Wyoming there is not a county
which is not up and going and
looking forward to what is now gem
orally conceded to be the state fair.
A great deal of interest is being
manifested throughout the southern
part of the state in the miniature
irrigated farm, which will be seen
at the fair. At a meeting of the
directors, 1t was decided to give to
B. F. Hurst, charge of the farm and
Don Bark, the government irrIga-
ton expert, charge OF the head
gates and laterals. They will have
such financial aid as will be neces-
sary to make this one of the most
interesting features of the fair.
Nothing will be lacking to mako
the work compile. Work has al
ready been started at the fair
grounds. B. F. Hurst, who is one
of the best known agriculturists Of
the state, plans to have one of the
most complete farms possible. The
system of laterals and the head
gates will all be installed with
especial care and with the idea OF
showing to the eastern visitor par
ticularly just how scientific is the
farming of Idaho. When the fair is
on, it is expected that the produces
will just be beginning to come tc
life. The farm will be placed in g
conspicuous part of the grounds
where all can see 1t that wish to.
The plan was first suggester by
Secretary Arthur Hodges and he il
very enthusiastic over it. He is o.
the opinion that the average east
erner knows but little about irriga
ton and is skeptical about which l.
considered good farming by meaci
of irrigation. This will be more o
an object lesson for those who ar
not acquainted with the science o
irrigation.

been challenged to do so. Second,
they have resorted to methods Of
boycott, threat and intimidation,
which lays every one of their leaders
and workers liable to action in a
court of law. The poor weaklings
who circulated the boycott petition,
lost no time in getting out of the
way, but they are not through. The
Wet management does not believe
in controversy and methods that
stir up bitter partisanship. We
have advocated a calm and deliber-
ate discussion of the issue. After
the election is over, we propose to
take care of the boys who got a
little bit too fresh in threatening
the voters of Canyon County.
Now, they have injected into the
campaign a personal issue-"Who
is Rev. Wadleigh?" Unable to stem
the tide which has set in against
them all over the county, they are
trying to befog the real issue. Rev
Wadleigh is making better speeches
every night than any "dry" speaker
that has appeared on the dry side
in this campaign. He is a better
orator and his logic and philosophy
is appealing to all fair minded men
Only the radical Drys and the ex,
tremists fail to acknowledge his
wisdom on this issue. Mortals sc

we must give them all the trade we

STDELIGHTS ON SITUATION
IN STATE OF OKLAHOMA

In view of the fact that much is
being said about prohibition in Okla
homa, we deem it expedient to show
to the people of Canyon County ex-
actly what prohibition has done for
Oklahoma.
Taking eight cities of the state
Lawton, Chickasha, Shawnee, Okla
homa City, Ell Reno, Tulsa, Sapulpa,
and Vinita, the statistics show that
LOT the first eleven months after
the adoption of prohibition there
were 1886 arrests for all causes,
3,418 of these being for drunken
ness. In the second eleven months,
these figures had increased 17,8O0
arrests for all causes, of which 6,4lb
were for drunkenness. This is but
a repetition of what prohibition pro-
duces everywhere.
The court costs in the County of
Craig (Vinita) for the year pre-
vious to the adoption of prohibition,
were $2,892.42, while in 1910 the
court costs were $20,595. In Tulsa
County, the court costs for the year
previous to the adoption of pro-
hibition were $4,124.95, while for
1910 they were $15,65O. Prohibi-
ton added to the expense Of the
counties of the state without single
exception. The following figures Of
added expense are taken direct from
the records:
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1911-09-01

The above figures cover the per-
iod in 1907 from adoption of pro-
hibition, to the close Of the year
1910.
In Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Shawnee,
Sauplpa, Muskogee, McAlister, Ell
Reno and dozens of other towns and
cities in Oklahoma, liquor is sold
without restraint and every prohi-
bitionist in the state knows it.
In IA counties in Oklahoma, in
two years Immediately following the
adoption of prohibition, more than
5000 criminal cases arose out Of
the attempt to enforce the prohi-
bition law and these cases cost the
taxpayers more than $200,000.0O,
without In the least measure dimin-
ishing the sale of liquor.
A large majority of the business
men of every city in Oklahoma are
on record as opposed to prohibition
and its train of corruption and de-
bauchery. In every city in the state
these business men signed resolu-
lions declaring prohibition to be a
failure.
Two years ago, H. T. Laughbaum,
then in the employ of the state of
Oklahoma, attended the Presbyterian
General Assembly at Atlantic City,
as a representative of the Anti
Saloon League and there opposed a
resolution calling upon the govern
ment to make an investigation OF
the liquor traffic in all of the states
Why did he oppose such a resolu'
ton? Was he afraid that it would
not be in accord with the wild
statements made by extremists? o.
was 1t because of the same reason
that the Anti-Saloon league opposed
an investigation of its receipts ant
expenditures of funds?
