FAIR ASSOCIATION
is A DEAD SOLDIER
CANYON COUNTY FAIR ASSO-
CATION CANNOT GET A
QUORUM.

Three Efforts Die Aborning But Di-
rectors Will Try, Try Again-En-
terprise Is in Very Good Condition
Financially and Second to Meme in
Idaho.
For some considerable time the
stockholders of the Canyon County
Fair Association have been trying to
hold a meeting, but up to date have
miserably failed, The stockholders
have not seen fit to attend these meet
ings greatly to the chagrin of the Of
ficers and the detriment Of the asso-
citation. Thursday evening a week
ago the last effort was made but the
effort died aborning President, An
drews, ]. B. Gowen, W. G. Cowden,
" D. Hannah, c. S. Doan, w. H.
Roadway, and Geo. Dew were present
| AS majority of stock was not repre-
scented an adjournment was taken. The
officers will make another effort to
hold meeting, which it is hoped the
| stockholders of the association will
attend
President Andrews stated thnt -
could do nothing toward the fair this
year until after the meeting of the
stockholders. He irtimated that il
had been said that he had gathered
proxies in the years gone by in order
to elect himself to some office or an
other For fear that someone might
commence to believe that
would not accept any proxies this
year. If the stockholders wanted a
meeting they would have to attend in
person or arrange with some one else
to hold it for them. Mr.. Gowen
stated the present officers could do
nothing toward the coming fair and
it was essential that new officers be
elected in the immediate future Mr..
C. S. Doan said that he wanted new
set of officers this year He was in
favor of cleaning out the house from
cellar to garnet. Mr. Redway looked
favorably upon Mr.. Doan's suggest
ion, while Messrs Cowden and Han
nah were inclined to disapprove Of
the idea. The indifference of the
business men of Caldwell is discour-
aging to the fair association. Except
for the fact that old general apathy
has seized the business men the fair
association is in very good condition.
The finances of the fair are in good
shape, as the resources are at least
three times the liabilities. In spite OF
this condition it is necessary that the
stockholders meet and elect a board
of directors for the coming year, The
time is rapidly approaching when pre-.
parations should be made for this
years fair. The stockholders, and es-
peciaIly those living in or near town
town, should attend the next meet
ing
The Tribune has no desire to men

Mr. v. D. Hannah coming eigh
miles in his nightcap to attend meet
