POWER CITY WRECKED.
Big Boat on Snake River Smashed
Against Wagon Bridge.

the big Power City, a
power boat on the Snake river at
this point, was wrecked at the
wagon bridge and is now grounded
and quite badly damaged. The
boat with large barge was being
used to transport gravel down the
rive for the cement work now being
done here and 1t WAS on a return
trip loaded with gravel that the
boat became unmanagable and drift
ed down the ryier and crashed in
TO the bridge 1t hit with such
force against the bridge that the
upper deck was smashed nearly be-
yond repair aud the engine and
working parts badly damaged. The
barge, which contained the load of
gravel. also hit the bridge and to-
gether did some damage 10 thai
structure N
The exact amount OF damage
can not at this time be estimated,
hut il will be large. 1t is thought
at this time that all that part above
the lower deck will have TO be re-
built but the amount of damage TO

figured until the boat is put into
dry dock.
At the worst it is considered
lucky in many ways. That the big
bridge did not give way when the
crash cane is a surprise to those
who saw il and the damage done
to both boat and bridge tells some
thing of the force with which it

PREPARING FOR
FARMERS DAY
Add Premiums for Stock and
Poultry Exhibits.
Plans Are Under Way to Secure a
Suitable Location and Erect
Permanent Buildings
For Yearly Fair.

The Oneida County Fair associ
alton has been incorporated and al
the last session of the county com
misSionerS an appropriation Ol
$500 was made to this organiza-
ton for the purpose of offering
premiums for exhibits at the faif
The organization, while it is or
ganized as a county fair aSsocia-
lion, will be divided into three dis
tricts. This has to be done on &C
count of the geographical shape oi
our county; it would be impossible
for the people of the east side OIL
the Malad valley to take part in a
fair held here nor could the people
of this section take any part in one
held at Malad or Preston or any
other town Of the county in those
sections. The county will be divid-
ed as the county is divided into
commissioner districts and each
district will hold its own fair. The
east side fair will be held atPres-
ton, the Malad valley fair at Malad
and the west end fai will be held
here, each section receiving its pro-
portion of the money appropriated
hy the commissioners.
A meeting will be he'd here in
a few days to prefect the fairasso-
citation of this section of the county
and the machinery put ito motion
to hold a two or three days fair.
Last year at the exhibition held it
was found that they could not pay
all the premiums offered and the
Press has been authorized to state
that these VIII soon be paid and the
ia x1yi11 forward a
check for the amounts to those who
won premiums but who did not get
them.
1t is the hope to secure suitable
grounds for a period of five years
and erect buildings for the exhibits.
AS it has been it was necessary to
erect exhibit halls each year at a
big expense and if the plan can be
period of time the expense of build
ing will then not be yearly one
and additional money can be put
into premiums. Another import
ant change in the regular premium
list will be the addition of premiums
for stock and poultry exhibits. IT
has always been the desire to do
this but lack of funds made it i'm
possible, but now it is thought this
can safely be done and it will be a
feature of the fair.
The premium list will be pub
llshed in these columns very soon,
as soon as the committee can PIE
pare it, and the exhibitors should
begin now to select their exhibits.
The committee will also publish
a set of rules governing the selec-
ton of exhibits and these rules will
be along the line of those govern
ing the selection of exhibits for
the dry farm congress. This has
double purpose. One is that it Will
give all exhibitors as equal chance
and made the exhibits look better
in the hall and the second reason
is hat exhibits at this fair can be
forwarded to the big dry farm con-
