NOTES A STEADY
GROWTH AT FAIR
Editor Of The Rural Spirit
Pleased With Exhibits
This Year.

Horace Adds, editor Of the Rural
Spirit Of Portland, Ore. the leading
livestock AND farm journal Of the
northwest who has attended the Inter-
Mountain fair for six consecutive
years, when asked for an expression of
his opinion on the fair just closed, said:
1.-THE noticeable feature Is the fact
that the fair has made q steady growth
every year. The great growth has been
in the horticultural and agricultural
departments. This year and last year
the display made in your pavilion and
extra temporary quarters erected would
be a credit anywhere on earth. and
certainly show the remarkable posi-
bilities OF your soil and climate. The
potatoes from the great North Side

of them will be sent back east to ad-
vertise this region. for they will ac-
complish better results than tons OF
