LEWISTON GETS
STOCK SHOW
Executive Committee Favors
That Town for Permanent
Location of Show and Plans
Big Event for this Year.

AT meeting Of the executive
committee of the Northwest
Livestock Association at Spokane
last Friday it was decided to
hold the 1912 show at Lewiston
and the sentiment is strongly in
favor of making Lewiston the
permanent place for holding the
show. With this end in view
Lewiston people are preparing to
purchase thirty acres of ground
in the east end of the city and
near the stockyards, for a per-
manent stock show grounds.
At the meeting in Spokane it
was decided to hold the show
this year on Dec. 9, 10, II, IL
and 13, and that it will be a big
event is assured by the fact that
the premiums already arranged
are in excess of $1,000, while the
big show just recently held offer
ed premiums of only $500.
In speaking of the Spokane
meeting a dispatch says:
The committee today decided
upon the premiums to be offered
for number of classes and the
increases over last year are very
marked. In the carload of beef
class last year the premium offer
ed was $125 while the associa-
ton this year will offer $500 for
the best carload; $3.50 for the
second carload and $100 for the
third carload.
There were no offering for car
loads of sheep last year but the
premium this year will be $500
for the best carload; $3.50 for the
second carload and $1O0 for the
third carload.
In the following the premium
last year was $50 but the offering
for the 1912 show is: best steer,
500; best dairy cow, $1O0; best
barrow, 500; best wether, $100;
best grade draft team to weigh
not less than 5000 pounds, $100.
Best student stock judging
team, 500.
Best short term student stock
judging team, $100.
Best country boy judge who
has never attended an agricultu-
raj school or college, 500 first;
$50 second.
Premiums to the amount of
$1,000 have been guaranteed for
the horse exhibits but the clas-
sifcation has not yet been decid-
ed upon. The same is true of
the individual beef and breeding
cattle; the individual fat and
breeding hogs; and the individ-
ual fat and breeding sheep.

SALOON ORDI-
NANCE PASSED
City Council Took Final Ac-
ton on Troublesome Meas
ure Last Friday Night---Re
Three Saloons Here.


At an adjourned regular meet
ing of the village council last Fri
day evening the much talked of
saloon ordinance was passed and
is published in full on another
page of this issue of the CHRON-
ICLE.
While the ordinance may not
be as strong as some would like
to see, it has been given much
thought and attention during the
past several weeks and is believ-
ed to be measure that can be
lived up to by the saloon men
and can be enforced. In case it
should develop later that the or
dinance is defective or weak in
some respects it can be amended
to remedy the defects very cas-
lily.
According to the ordinance the
number of saloons in the city is
limited to three, provided, how
ever, that any bona fide hotel of
twenty guest rooms may be
granted a license if the council
so sees fit, but the hotel bar must
be separate from the other part
of the hotel and is under the
same regulation as the other sa-
looms. The village license is
placed at 5000 a year, payable in
advance, and no one who. has
been convicted of felony or
who has previously forfeited a
license, who is the owner of a
brewery or is interested in a
brewery or has a brewer in part
nership with him. can secure a
license. Where the place of bust
ness or the character of the ap-
plicant are such that in its judg-
ment the best interests of the
village are not being safeguard
ed by licensing the applicant,
the issuing of license may be
refused.
The closing hours are from
1870 in the evening until 900 in
the morning during the week and
from 1890 on Saturday evening
to 500 on Monday morning and
during the hours the polls are
open for voting on general cleo
ton days. During the closed
hours no person other than the
proprietor can enter the premises.
No chairs, tables, games of
chance, etc., are allowed in the
saloons and the bars must not be
more than thirty feet long nor
more than ten feet from the front
property line. Music and boist-
erous talk are prohibited, minors
and women are not allowed to
enter the saloon and drinks are
not to be sold to any person in
an intoxicated condition.
The room containing the bar
must be we'll lighted at all times
and the front of the building can
not be boarded up or screened
higher than four feet from the
sidewalk.
For any violation of the ordi-
nance a fine of from $25 to $100,
with costs, may be collected and
the license may be revoked at the
option of the council. There are
many other provisions and it will
be well for all to read the ordi-
nance carefully and fully under
stand its conditions.

Mr. Hughes is gathering statistics
with reference TO the time spent in
preparation Of lessons by members Of
the senior class. Each member of the
class is asked 20 keep a record of the
amount OF time spent on each subject
for one week and to make written re-
port at the end OF the week Care is
taken to get the reports as nearly ac-
curate as possible and while the reports
made ia some instances may not be

honesty that exists in the senior class,
the report on the whole probably APP

the test is TO discover il possible the a
mount of work done by the average
pupil and the amount OF time that is
spent on the various subjects by the
average pupil. This, IL is hoped, will
show whether any department of the
school is being unduly emphasized at
the expense OF the other departments,
which subjects are hardest for most
