The committee on grounds and build
ings of the Canyon County Fair asso-
citation, consisting of Messrs. William
Won Washer, c. r. Emmett and c. I,
Hawkes., have investigated matters and
the grounds and decided upon a num-
Der of improvements for the fair this
fall. The grand stand will be enlarged;
a new dairy building will be erected;
100 new horse stalls will be built; the
office of the secretary will be moved;
and a part of the ground will be
seeded to grass and shade trees
planted. Tuesday a representative of
The Tribune called on Mr.. Won Washer
for the purpose Of ascertaining the de-
cision of the committee upon improve
ments at the grounds. He stated that
a fifty-foot enlargement would be made
to the grand stand and that the other
improvements stated above would be
made. Mr.. Won Washer says:
Several of the directors of the Fair
association and the members of the
committee on grounds and building
have investigated conditions at the
grounds and have decided that many
improvements are necessary for a
successful fair this fall. In the first
place the dairy interests of Canyon
county have become so important that
the association is amply justified in
erecting an exhibition hall devoted eX-
clusively to that interest. In fact the
fair would fall short of a true and
complete exposition of the industries
and resources of the county if it fail
ed to provide such a building. We
have in contemplation building 40x4O
feet, so built that it can be added to
without loss, waste or prohibitiye eX-
pense. The present grandstand is too
small. This year we will build so
foot addition to the grandstand We
shall also build a new office for the
secretary in another part of the
ground. We may use the present
building for other purposes and build
a smaller ticket office at the gates
At least 100 new stalls for horses are
required this year and that many viii
be built.
"The Canyon County Fair association
is a member of the Idaho Oregon cir
cult and there will be more race horses
here this fall than ever before in tn,
history of the organization. We mus
provide quarters for these horses. w
also need more stalls for exhibition
purposes
1T is the determination of the com
mittee on grounds to seed to grass
portion of the grounds this spring
We shall fence off the ground seede,
in order to give the grass a chance t
start. Next year the fence will b
moved to another portion and tina
seeded. In this way we hope to ge
the entire grounds in blue grass with
in three years. Shade trees will b
planted this fall. Canyon county ha
the best fair ground in the state c
Idaho and one of the best in the ives
There is no reason why we cannot hay
the most beautiful grounds in tn
west. You can tell the readers of Tn
Tribune that the directors of the as
ISOLATION and particularly the mem
bers of this committee that we ar
going to try and achieve a ground tina
all Idaho will be proud of l thin
furtherance of the idea"
The officers and directors and tn
l can truthfully say that Messrs. En-
NETT and Hawkes. are absolutely /
sympathy with this movement, an
will lend their every effort in tn
various committees of the associatio
are at work now. They all feel hope
full, enthusiastic and greatly encom
aged over the outlook for the fair thi
