|HTERM0URTAIN FAIR
RAINMAKERS FESTIVAL

A big surface so feet wide and
TWO city blocks long win be especially
prepared for the mammoth carnival
masked ball, which win be one OF
the features of the Festival of the
Rainmakers here during the week OF
October to u, coincident with the
holding OF the Idaho Intermoutain
fair
When the question of finding "a
suitable site for the erection of the
| big dancing pavilion in which to hold
the carnival ball this season, came
before the committee, it was discover.
ed that no open place could be found
in Columbia park, where the affair
was held last year, that was devoid
of trees and of sufficient area 10
permit of the erection of dancing
platform large enough to accommo-
date the crowds expected.
After much deliberation it was
found that the bitulithic pavement on
the street on which the new state
capitol building fronted, could be COW
cred with preparation that would
transform the street into CLASSY
dancing surface.
Seats for several thousand specta.
tors are provided on the steps of
the now capitol and the raised side
walk surrounding the state house
grounds. King Ohadi, the Mysteri-
GUS and Queen Esiob, the royal
pair of jokers who will direct the
revels, viii also unmask and disclose
their identity from throne on the
steps.
Previous to the ball a mammoth
parade in which over 1000 maskers
and numerous beautiful floats will
participate, will be held. The hum-
orous monarch, Ohadl aud his
u cen will keep the crowds laugh
ng at their antics, during the prog
'ess of this big procession.

A BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
President Taft Has Given Good
Government to the People.

From 1882 to 1892 the ordinary ex
penses of the federal government in
creased at the rate of about per cent
year. In the succeeding decennial
period they increased about pei
cent a year. Under the presidency of
Mr. Roosevelt the annual increase
was almost 6 per cent Mr.. Taft has
not only stopped this annual increase,
which had SO long seemed inevitable,
but has actually brought about a de-
crease. Under Mr., Roosevelt the or,
binary annual expenses of the gov
eminent grew from about $f71 ,Oo0, 900
to $G62, 100000, an increase of s191,.
100000 in seven years. Mr.. Taft has
reduced them from 1862 100000 to
SG54, 10000
We talk lot about economy In pub
lie affairs. Isn't it worth while to
stop a moment and give credit to a
president who has actually done what
we have all been saying ought to be
done?

BOUGHT HIS SOCKS IN
SCOTLAND.

Governor Wilson is free
trader and is so recognized by
the rank and file of his party
The truth is emphasized a little
by the fact that he buys his
socks in Scotland.
His apparent Indifference to
the condition of American
laborers may be due to his abil-
ity to get along without being
obliged to eat bread in the sweat
of his brow.
He has been extremely fortu
nate in this respect His auto
crazy has been deeply tinged
with aristocracy during his en-
tire career as an educator and
dabbler in literature.
He has neither by personal eX-
perience or observation ac-
aucinted himself with the actual
struggles and needs of the ordi-
nary wage Garner.
During the trying times that
this country was under the
blight of free trade in 1894, '95
and 90, Woodrow Wilson was
enjoying a liberal income that
was in no degree affected by the
deplorable conditions surround
ing the laborers in this country
Mr.. Wilson is not to be con-
demned for his good fortune
On the contrary, we should be
disposed to congratulate him,
but in self interest the less for
tunate should protect themselves
against the enforcement of his
tariff theories and policy, a trial
of which has been given more
than once with deplorabie effect
upon the industrial life of this

DEMAND FOR LABOR
Unpreced snted Prosperity In the
United States Sends Up Call
From Ocean to Ocean for
UnsklIed Labor.

The demand for unskilled labor
never was SO great in the United
States as 1t is at present. There is
also large and general demand for
skilled labor in many important lines.
Inc cry has gone up from New
YORK state and extends south along
the Atlantic coast, across the south
line of the Union to California, up the
Pacific coast to Seattle, and back
across the heart of the country from
Kansas City to st. Louis, to Chicago,
to Detroit, to Pitlsburg.
Everywhere laborers are needed In
the harvests, the forests, the mines,
the factories, the mills; on the rail.
roads, for the construction of public
highways and in our great Industrial
centers.
Even within hundred-mile radius
Of New York city the call Is no less
lnsistent. Labor agencies cannot sup.
ply the demand there. Contractors
need manual help for aqueducts, tun.
nels, building excavations. There is
work for every man willing to take
pick and shovel and utilize the oppor.
tunity to earn a daily wage whose
minimum Is $175.
Can anyone doubt that it is this con-
dition of universally employed labor
which is responsible for the high |
prices for farm products prices
which are giving the American farm
or the greatest degree of prosperity
nc has ever known?
And can anyone believe that these
either as to iaborers or
armers, would be bettered by
mango In the administration at Wash
ngton? Why make change for the
mere. sake of change LET sleeping

THREE FIRES IN THE COUNTRY
Are Believed to Have Been of incen-
= diary Origin. Kerosene Was
Used to Start Flames.

On Mr.. J. R. Webb's farm, east of
the city, a six room dwelling, a barn,
a bale of cotton, cotton seed and
farming utensils were destroyed by
fire Saturday night Will Dublin,
the tenant who occupied the resi-
dence. says when he awoke the house
was burning, and he smelled kero-
sene. Mr.. Webb estimates his loss
at $1,000 or $1,000, and had $557
insurance.
On Mr.. L. E. Baldwin's place, six
miles north of Dawson, an attempt
was made to burn the home of one
of his tenants Saturday night. Splint-
ers and kerosene, both of which were
found. were used. When one Of the
occupants of the house awoke he
opened the window and saw three
men a short distance away, at whom
he shot. A pair of shoes and a hat
we're found about fifty yards from
the house. They had been left in the
haste of the parties to get away.
About 9 o'clock Saturday night a
seed house containing about 30 tons
of cotton seed was burned on the
farm of Mr.. J. E. Wilkes at Midway.
The tenant there says he saw two
men running away after the flames
were discovered. Mr. Wilkes esti-
mates his loss of the house and the
damage to seed at $500, with no in
surance. He asks The News to thank
for him all those who assisted in
saving other buildings.

| WORMS DEVASTATING CROP
CATERPILLARS HAVE STRIPPED
COTTON OF ALL FOLIAGE.
Have Appeared in Nearly Every Sec
ton of County, and Though Late
VIII Do Much Damage.

w III DO DeAAtGtSNs
Verifying the prediction made by
the national and state entomologists
early this season the cotton caterpil-
lar has made its appearance, and
cotton plants are suffering from the
devastating onslaught OF the worms.
They are busy little things, espe-
cially in the section east and south
of Dawson, and are destroying cotton
plants and other vegetation. In some
fields every vestige of foliage and
young forms have been eaten, and
the prospects of top crop de-
stroyed.
IT is true the caterpillars h&v+
come late, and there is some advant-
age in that, but it is also true the
cotton crop is late, and the visitation
is not too late for the worms to 40
much damage.
Besides eating away the tender
sprigs of vegetation the worms spit
on the open cotton and blacken it.
These worms do not come often,
but they have been among the worst
enemies of the growing staple for
many years.
The worms attacked the cotton
the first four years after the civil
war. The crops were devastated and
the farmers suffered such heavy loss
they characterized the worms as
worse than the Yankees.

MISSED DEATH BY AN INCH
Driving Wheel of Locomotive Brush
ed Against Old Darkey and Fur
nished Thrills for Spectators.

There were thrills plenty Friday
for the large crowd of people who
we're waiting at the Central railroad
for the 12:45 train from Montgom-
cry.
AS the train was approaching the
street crossing near the passenger
station two old darkies on the other
side started to run across the track
ahead of the train. One of them
made it safely, but the other fell on
the track, and the large crowd who
witnessed it felt a horrible shudder
come over them as they momentarily
expected to see the big locomotive
mangle his body.
By a hairbreadth the old darkey
was saved, however. Just as he
crawled off the track the ponderous
engine passed by, its driving wheel
touching his clothes.
1t was a horrifying sight, and
those who witnessed it say they new
er want to see anything like it again.
