FAIR ASSOCIATION
ELECTS new BOARD

The stockholders OF the Canyon
County Fair association met at the
Commercial club rooms Tuesday
evening for the purpose OF clcctinA
officers for the ensuing year. The iol
lowing board of directors was elected:
II. K. Cleaver, b. NJ. Holt. J. B. Cow
en-, j. 5. Harrington, ca II, Turner,
and r. Farrar of Caldwell; Chas. Rob
bins OF Nampa; J. H. Royston OF
Payette; V. d. Hannah OF Notus :;
Chas. Carnage of Emmett: and w. +.
Howard OF Roswell This board will
meet at an early date for the purpose
of organizing.
The meeting was called to order by
President H. T. French and f. a.
Clark acted as secretary. The first
thing to come before the meeting
was the reading OF the annual report
of the president of the association
President French made many valua
bic suggestions which will be used to
good advantage by the incoming
board. The most important of these
was in regard to the speed program
He would not do away with races but
would cut the purses down to mod
est sum. This year the cost of the
races was $39400O more than the en-
trance fees amounted to-a sum en-
tirely too large for fair association
to stand and survive. He also advis-
ed that school and educational exhib-
its be encouraged; and particularly
that inducements be held out to en-
courage the boys and girls in the
growing of farm crops. He also re-
commended that the capital stock of
the fair association be increased SO
that the business might be properly
financed, pointing out that never had
the organization been on solid ground
financially.
President French took a hopeful
view of the future of the fair pro-
| vided it had the loyal support of the
people OF the county and particularly
of the people of Caldwell. He stated
that there seemed to be an unaccount-
able apathy in this city over the Can
yon County Fair, but hoped that il
would soon dissipatc itself.

NJ Holt and H. R. Cleaver were APP
pointed an auditing committee. This
committee made report covering the

LOBSTERMEN UNITE IN PROTEST
Nervous Work Pulling Their Pots Under Fire of the Big Guns Artillery Fire From the Forts Scatters the Crustaceans-T Blame For Boosting Prices in the New York Lobster Places.

danger of 8 nervous breakdown. Ine fishermen can visit their set only al the turn of the tide, for the reason that when the tide is running the buoys which mark the location of their pots are dragged under the surface py the current. But when a man is in dinky little motor boat, bouncing about on the firing grounds, with 80 fathoms of line to haul up and shells splashing all around, while the only thing to keep the current from carrying him into the midst of the disturbance is gasoline phut- phut that may go bad any minute-why, it's enough to give anybody the willies. At least, the lob stermen say that they've had a great plenty of it.
 At the best, lobstering today is no game of old main. according to those in it. They say it's hard enough to drag in a good pot without getting a raw deal from the government, too. Even with New York buyers offering 15 cents and better for Holsters at the wharfside, the fishermen say that they have their work cut out for them to clean up $500 per boat in season Of six months. The best crew ever did in recent years was s1,500 for the season. and then they thought they were making money like the mint. The state has established a lobster hatch cry at Noank which turns out mil lions of fry every season. but even so the Connecticut catch is only about 500000 pounds a year as against three times that much 20 years back. Noank men say that its harder to catch even the present amount, be- cause once 10-pound Holsters were common, while nowadays a three pounder is a great big specimen.

If the New York lobster palaces jack up the price of their staple in the course of the next few days Noank loDstermen stand by to blame the ad- vance in good part to the coast artil- lery practice at Fort Terry, Plum lsl- and, and Fort Wright Fishers Island. The Fishermen's Protective associa- tlon has forwarded big memorial of protest to Secretary of War Stimson on the subject. Copies of the protest have also been sent to United States Senator Frank B. Brandegee of Con necticut and to Congressman E. w. Higgins, who represents the congress sional district in which Noank is To- cated. The Fishermen's Protective as- soc1atlon, which has its headquarters at Noank. includes nearly all the lob stermen on the shore of Long Island sound and practically the entire catch of it's members is marketed to New York buyers. If Mir Stimson doesn't heed their protest, the lobstermen say that it looks as if this seasons catch will drop off 50 per cent, with corre- spending effects on the New York market, not to mention the election comeback this fall
 According to the fishermen, the big gun practice hurts lobstering because the firing is directed at floating tar gets anchored four or five miles off shore and as. the cannonading is go- ing on most of the time the water is always being churned up, with the re- suit that the Holsters are kept con tinually on the move.
 However, the fishermen aren't ask ing MT Stimson to call off the firing entirely. Just now they ask only that the artillerymen avast at slack water, so they can haul their pots without

Regarding the Elwell statement re- garding the running board law on the trolley system, the Connecticut com pany was asked this question Monday by a New Haven paper:
 "C. c. Elwell, connected with the public utilities commission says The Connecticut company has compiled with the order of the public utilities commission to keep people off the run ming boards, and if they cannot be kept off according to the present rule, it is up to the legislature to provide such a prohibtory law. The Connec- ucut company has no legal authority to make such law Is this the com pany's understanding of the matter ?"
