PUBLIC OPINION

Editor of The Farmer. Sir:
 desire to express my thanks to The Farmer for its splendid work. iu aiding tine voters of our city to see the real s1tualtdon in the recent special election called by NTayor Wilson at ttGae ,behest of his managers. I voted he runs again. He has been a. failure in my opinion and think this is largely because he allows others to run him instead of acting for himself. I spent some time the afternoon and evening of the election in one of the west side voting districts. and must say that in my opinion the election was not properly safeguarded- The way that the election was carried on was not such as to impress honest men that an honest election was being conducted Men dad not recognize although have lived long In this dis trict, were running things there. It was the same when the count was made. [ saw a few Republican work CTS trying hard to get their friends to vote for the mayors bonds and charter amendments. As far I could see there was no one around the polls to represent the taxpayers who did not believe in the bond issue and the charter acts. Really believe that if a correct count was made it would be found that the negative vote were greater than claimed.
 I believe that the people owe debt of gratitude to MT. Goodsel1 and MT. Peck as we'll as to The Farmer for showing up things in their true light. The Farmer w4ls the only paper upon which the people could depend for the facts, and myself and several of my Republican friends have started to take your paper and we will continue payers as you did in the last election. Long live The Farmer, the peoples champion.

A QUEER WAGER.

Using child's toy wagon and al- lowing himself to be drawn about by an alligator, is one of the queerest methods adopted by a German sports man to win a wager, says Popular Mechanics He claimed in a converse ton with friend that there were no fewer than ten thousand methods of locomotion, and in the dispute that followed he wagered that he could prove it. The bet was taken up by the friend and a trip around the world was undertaken to try out all the va rious kinds of transportation. and in- cidenta1ly to devise some new ones.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Inter- Mountain Fair as
ISOLATION was held last night in the
city hall with 963S shares of the
$1,000 issued. represented. So well
pleased were the stockholders in the
association with the work of the pres
ent board Of directors that they were
all e-elected with the exception of
d. r. Hubbard. who did not care to
be on the board and in whose place
Herbert F. Lemp was chosen for the
one -year term.
The directors decided that the fair
was being held too late in the season
and it was the unanimous opinion that
it should be held shortly after the
middle of September in 1918. The di-
rectors were instructed to begin max
ing preparations at once for the big
gest fair in the history of the state
next year
1t was shown by the report of the
secretary that the excellent race pro-
gram had cost the fair but s2229.S0.

$713S.15. the entries and race privi-
lege receipts We're $3169.20 and 1.-THE
grandstand receipts. which would have
been practically nothing had it not
been for the races, amounted to

from the race program, cutting down
the expenses for races to a small
amount.
1t was also shown that the attend
ance at the fair this! year numbered
10000 paid admissions and that passes
We're issued to 5000 school children on
children's day.
While the association made some
money this year there were many OF
