COUNTY FAIR ATTRACTIONS
Cavalier County Fair Will be Big
ger and Better Than Ever

Robert Meiklejohn, who is president
and general manager of the Cavalier
County Fair Association, said during
the week in an interview with the
Democrat: "You can take it from me
as straight goods that the county fair
we are going to hold August 9th. 10th
and llth will be bigger and better in
every respect than either of the two
fairs held since our organization three
years ago. The horse and live stock
exhibits, together with sheep, hogs.
poultry, etc, will of course be the big
feature of the fair, but take it from me
that what will make those who come to
the fair open their eyes will be the fine
exhibit there is going to be of field pro
ducts and garden vegetables. The fair
this year comes about two weeks later
than it did year ago and with the fine
growing season there is going to be the
best showing of grains and vegetables
ever put on exhibition in Cavalier Co..
The premium list is being issued this
week and we have been busy most of
the past two weeks getting the fair
grounds in shape. Myself and others
of the association intend to take in the
state fair at the Forks and expect to
close deals for some of their best attrac-
tions to be here at our county fair in
August. No time, trouble or expense is
being spared to make the 1911 fair a
regular hummer.

WEIGHT AND MEASURES
DISCUSSED IN SENATE
New Law Would Standardize all
Articles of Commerce

Yesterday in the Senate the fight
on the proposed Weight and Meas
ure Law came up. The bill passed
the House some days ago, and was
taken up in the Senate after giving
the merchants of Nevada chance to
read the proposed law over. Some OF
the local merchants did not like the
intended legislation and a delegation
of Reno retail merchants came to this
city to protest on the passing OF the
bill. They were given a hearing.
The law as framed makes 1t Il mis-
demeanor for a merchant OF any
character to short weight or short
measure a customer In other word )
a pound must be a pound; and a yard
must be 80 inches
Nevada has loped along for the
past fifty years with the loosest kind
of laws. 1t has been possible for the
dry goods man to give short meas
ure, the butcher to give short weight
in meats, and the grocer TO sell short
weight as full pounds, while a baker
could sell a lot of holes in bread and

the carcasses OF three beeves. which
had been freshly killed and skinned.
On the next morning the four men
started for the sheep, planning TO go
by way OF the canyon where Indiana
had seen the slaughtered cattle
The cattle had undoubtedly been kill
ed by band of outlaws for food, and
when the four stocknen came near
their camp they murdered them for
their equipment.
The finding OF the bodies of the
men points TO murder 1t is with this
theory in mind that the State Police
have Journeyed in the region that is
anything but inviting. 1t is suppos-
ed that the four men came across the
rustlers and that in the row that fol
lowed the rustlers shot and killed one
OF the men. 1t was then necessary to
cxterininate all four in order to cover
their trails.
he fact that the crime was COM
mitted nearly motnh ago gave the
outlaws a chance to get out OF that
section. The only hope of the posse
now headed north is that the heavy
winter has prevented the rustlers
from escaping and covering all trails.
