FAIR ASSOCIATION ELECTS
Officers Chosen to Head Bay
field County Fair
Association.

The annual meeting of the Bayfield,
County Fair Association was held at
the town hall at Iron River on Mon
day evening of last week and was one
of the most enthusiastic meetings that
has ever been held by the association.
A detailed report which was SUBJ
mitted by Max Helmer showed the
association to be in good shape.
The election of officers was held
during the meeting. The name of
w. b. Clubine was again proposed to
the head association for another year
but he declined. Mr.. Clubinc has
made good officer and it was largely
through his efforts that the fair has
been successful during the past two
seasons. Max Helmer who has been
secretary of the association during the
past year was unanimously elected
President. VIM. b. johnson was
elected Secretary and Winfield E.
Tripp was elected Treasurer.
Plans for the future were discussed
to some length and it was planned to
make the fair to be held this year
better than ever before. In former
years horse racing has been one of the
principal attractions at the fair but
this year it is probable that some
stronger attraction will be booked.

CLAIM COURT IMPOSED UPON.
State sar Association Requested to
IrIestigate Charge.

Oklanoma CITY, Okla, Aug. At
leai.eI out today that the grievance
committee Of tie state bar associa-
tion has been requested to probe
Che charges that the courts were i'm
posed upon in the Cloonan case
which was instituted to prevent in
dependents from participating in
the primary election. Cloonan died
in 1908, yet the petition upon which
an election inspector was arrested,
set up that Cloonan had been denied
a ballot of his selection in the pri-
mary election of 1910. Locally the
case has been termed, "A Voice From
the Tomb Members OF the grev-
ance committee declare that as soon
as they can get the papers used TO
the case, they will institute an in
quiry. The case was started in a
local court and from there appealed
to the criminal court of appeals
which rendered final decision. 1t is
probable that had the upper court
known that the complaining witness
was dead. and that. two years be-
fore the oiferse was alleged to have
been committed, the petition woul1
have been dismissed on the grounds
that it presented a moot case.

dates for the democratic nomination
for county offices closed the most
strenuous and exciting campaign in
the history of statehood Saturday
with speaking at Boswell and Soper,
the latter place furnishing a picnic
as an attraction. The contest for

much bitterness between aspirants
and the meetings resulted in several
fist fights.

RETURNS
MUST Be PROMPT
NO EXCUSE FOR DELAYS ONLY
HONEST METHODS WILL BE
COUNTENANCED.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. 5.-Fi-
nal instructions sent by Ben w. Riley,
secretary of the state election board,
to the county secretaries for the pri-
mary election to be held Tuesday,
caution the county board that the
law must bd followed explicitly in all
details and returns must be made to
the state board promptly. The count
is to begin at 10 O'Clock in the morn
ing and continues throughout the day
at intervals. There is no need, the
secretary declares, for counts being
delayed until three or four days after
the voting time.
Must Be Honestly Conducted.
In "A previous letter sent to secre-
taries. Riley declared that the election
must be honestly conducted and every
vote counted, precisely as cast. He
says that is the only way the law may
be complied with, and is the only pro-
cedure that will be tolerated. The
secretary declared that the state
board has authority to take charge
OF the election in any county Nhen
there is reason to believe that it is
not being fairly conducted.
As final word, the secretary says
that the returns of county against
which there is the proper suspicion
of fraud will not be counted.
Permit Independents to Register.
In many counties the boards are
following the state secretary's sug-
gestion by permitting independents
to re-register according to the party
of their selection, since the criminal
court of appeals has held that one
registered as an Independent could
not vote in the primary election.
There are. however. some counties
where this will not be done.
Under the courts ruling electors
will be required to vote the party
ticket according to their registration,
and any voter is subject to challenge.

Profitable Geese.

The best location for a duck farm Is
on tidewater stream or cove, where
there Is q constant succession Of sea
food with every tide. II given a little
house upon the shore and a variety of
grain at the evening meal they will
come home regularly every night
without further trouble. The eggs
are mostly laid very early in the morn
ing. The ducks should be kept shut
up in the yard until they have laid
their eggs. The Picking and the In
dian Runner are the most prolific lay
ers. The feathers Of the Picking duck
are of the best quality, white, with a
creamy shade. The feathers command
a good price. It is not necessary to
have much water for ducks, yet 1t Ia
true that ducks will get large por
ton Of their living out Of the water.
Ducks must have grass range and
plenty Of fresh, clean water to drink,
and they should also have a trough Of
water to battle in II there is no stream
handy.
