FORT SMELLING TO REMAIN
, Secretary Stimson and General Wool
Inspect Post

Hopes for the retention of Fort
Smelling as an army post may be re-
garded as brighter as a result of the
inspection of the fort by Secretary OF
War Henry L. Stimson and General
Leonard Wood, chief of staff of the
United States army. Both of the war
department officials scout the posi-
bility of the immediate abandonment
of the fort and said after their inspec-
tion the Smelling post had favorably
impressed them.
Secretary Stimson and General
Wood, following the conference, de-
clared the evacuation of Fort Smelling
is plan so far distant that it should
not be regarded with fear by Twin
City residents.

VIII Not Handle Exhibit

The Commercial Club will not
handle the exhibit from this city
to the County Fair this season.
This was decided at a meeting
of the Com mercial Club held
last Friday evening. In former
years the Club has looked after
the gathering of the exhibit and
has paid all expenses to and
from Iron River. The expense
has been quite heavy on the Club
and the mem bers decided not to
take charge this year and the
exhibitors from here will have
to look after their own exhibits
this season. The Club mem.
bers will assist where they can
but the exhibitors will have to
stand the expense, which will
be light on each individual.
1t might be well for exhibitors
to hold meeting in the near
future and appoint a committee
whose duty it will be to look
after the exhibit. This meeting
should be called some time dur
ing the next week so that all
arrangements can be made in
plenty of time for the fair. The
Fair Association at Iron River
will. look after the exhibits after
they arrive but a committee
should be in charge to see that
they are properly arranged at
at the exhibit hall.

A Course In Agriculture

This year course in agricul-
ture has been adopted in the
High School as a part of the
general course of study. Th e
Board of Education deemed this
a valuable addition to the pres
ent course and therefore adopt
ed it this year and it will be-
come a permanent part of the
course of study in future years.
The High School receives $3.50
annually from the state to keep
this course going in the school
and it is the intention of the
Board to purchase piece of
ground in order that work along
these lines may be carried on in
a practical way.
The agricultural course is be.
ing adopted by many of the best
schools in the state and people
generally are coming to view
this training for the young mer
as one of the necessary ones.

MUCH INTEREST
in COUNTY FAIR
Number of Exhibits Will
be Large
Everybody is Going and the
Fair Association Plans
a Big Time.

There is every reason to believe
that in point of attendance and variety
and number of exhibits the 1919
Bayfield, County Fair to be held at
Iron River will eclipse the fairs of
former years. AS the time draws
near for the big fair the interest in
creaseS and it is expected that the
fair this season will establish a new
record for number in attendance and
variety of exhibits.
The Bay field County Fair Associa-
tion pays higher premiums on farm
produce and household products than
most of the fairs throughout the state
and this has tendancy to bring out
larger and better display of pro-
ducts. With this fair the people
exhibiting know just what they will
receive if they win but in most fairs
the premium is based on the receipts.
The policy of the Bayfield, county
fair has always been very liberal and
broad and in return for this square
dealing the support and encourage
ment of the people should be given.
The Fair association is doing all
in their power to make the fair one of
interest for all people. This year it
is expected that the large exhibit
hall erected last fall will prove none
too large. Already the demand for
space is coming in from all quarters.
There will be double the number of
town exhibits for the grand sweep
stake prize and the corn growing con-
test will also take up large amount
of room. There is no fair that has
better line of exhibits than our own
fair and this is due to the interest
taken in it by farmers and fruit
growers.
In former years the hotels at Iron
River have had some difficulty in
taking care of the crowds, especially
at meal times, but the association has
made arrangements this year to reme-
dy this condition. The old exhibit
hall at the grounds has been con-
verted into dining hall where warm
meals will be served during the three
days by the ladies of the Congrega-
tional church.
Remember the fair dates, Septem-
Der Gath, 25th and Goth and be sure
to attend and make it one of the
biggest fairs ever held.

HAS LEAD OF A BUT
LATE RETURNS may
ALTER COUNT
Morris Defeats Alvord for
Dist. Attorney. Tomkins
Wins Senatorship

Returns from the towns in Bayfield,
county which are coming in show
that there was decided lack of in
terest in the Primaries held Tuesday
and the vote was one of the lightest
polled in the county in years. The
vote throughout the entire state like
wise was very light. This was due
to the fact that there was not many
contests on the Republican ticket.
There was some lively contests on the
Democratic ticket but the vote of
that party was not brought out owing
to the lack of county contests.
On the republican ticket in Bay
field county the only contests were
over the Office of district attorney,
assemblyman and senator. Returns
received up to noon today would in
dicate that Charles f. Morris OF Iron
River has been nominated on the
republican ticket for the Office of
district attorney over E. G. ~Alvord
by majority which will range from
$50 to 600. Both candidates put
up still campaign.
