List of Special Premiums is
Growing Rapidly to
Record Sum.
PASSES s3,5o0.oo MARK
And This Not Counting any of the
Regular Premiums-Interest ID
Shown all Over County-Fair
Promises to be Larger and Better
in every way-List of Few Specials.

When it is understood that through
the activity of T. NJ Nichol and the
managers of the fair association the
special premium list for the Canyon
County Fair is rapidly reaching the
$4,000 mark, to say nothing Of the
regular premium list, it may begin
to dawn upon the people generally
that the Canyon County Fair this
show.
Mr.. Nichol began to lay his plans
Immediately after the fair last year.
The managers of the association con-
Cured fully in the ideas of Mr.. Nichol
and gave him every opportunity to
push forward his campaign. That he
has met with undreamed of success is
seen by what he has accomplished
and he says he is only in fair stride
now
The secret of the success of Mr.
Nichol is that he pursues to logical
conclusion one thing at time When
seen by representative of The Tri-
bune, this week, Mr. Nichol would
talk of nothing but wheat and other
grains. In regard to the special
prizes along this line, Mr.. Nicho
called the following to mind:
For the best bushel of Turkey Red
Blue Stem, and Club or Diclo wheat
the Caldwell Milling & Elevator com
pany will give two barrels of Aou
| for first and one for second in eacl
| class
The Western Moline Plow Co.. Of
fers a 2-way riding pillow valued a
$500 for the best half-bushel o
wheat. All exhibits entered are t,
become the property of the pillow com
pany, to be used for exhibition pur
poses throughout the east and middle
west.
For the best yield per acre of corn
there is offered premium of $780,
For the best IL ears of corn tn
Union Meat Co., of Portland, offer
$1,000 worth of fertilizer.
For the best II ears of white vel
low. calico. and flint corn, is Offered
four registered pigs. each worth SIS
Forbes & Co.. offer prize of 81.
for first and $40 for second, on bes,
acre yield of popcorn. first crop or
new ground under the government
project.
And so on. ad infnitum, until it
seems that the farmer must simply
roll in valuable premiums this fall.
Of surety there is enough to go
around. and then few. The county
commissioners have not yet made
their appropriation for the fair, but
will undoubtedly follow the regular
custom of their predecessors If not
add substantial amount to the usual
appropriation.

HAS PATENT ISSUED
BY MARTIN VAN buren,

Joseph E. Sturgeon of this city has
two interesting documents. The first
is patent to homestead issued to
his grandfather. Joseph Dunlap, OF
Jefferson County, Ohio. by the presi-
dent. Martin Van Buren,, on August
6. 1888. The other is a patent issued
to himself for land in King6sher
County, Oklahoma, on April II. 1899
by the martyred president. William
Mckinley.
1t is interesting to note that the
Older patent is inscribed upon genuine
parchment and is now in a better
state of preservation than the latter
instrument.

Bootleggers do Good Business
in the Legitimate
Transactions.
BUT THERE ARE OTHERS
Sick Residents Seem to Acquire
Fierce Thirst Which 10 Quenched
by Legitimate Transactions-List
of Sales by Prescriptions and
Signed Applications for Alcohol

That Caldwell is or ever has been
very dry" is to say the least a ques-
ton debatable. No one that travels in
the later cars from our festive capital
doubts for minute that the numerous
suit cases and bundles contain
anything but clothing, shoes, bricks
and hardware; yet at the same time
the amber fluid arrives safely some
how or another.
| Not week passes but one or two
men are arrested, and some convicted,
of bootlegging. There IS at least one
place in the city where regular Gus
toners can with ease get q package
of mock sunshine. There are prob
ably quite few:
The outfits brought to light when
the bootleggers are brought to justice
reveals the fact that there is an ex-
tensive traffic in whiskey going on in
the dry county of Canyon. To this
may be added the Legitimate" traffic
or prescriptions for whiskey, brandy
and alcohol. In the care of the sick it
is necessary to use a certain amount
of alcoholic stimulants; whether or
not this part of the traffic is being
overworked The Tribune leaves to
the opinion of the public.
What the Drug Stores are Doing.
| In the past two months, January
and February, in Caldwell, the drug
stores filled prescriptions as follows,
as shown by their af6davits on file in
the Office of the county clerk:
fWyckoff's Pharmacy. As pres. 81 qts.
Greenlund's ......42 20 qts.
Botkin- Harmon ....37 10 OTIS.
Caldwell ~. 10 IA qts.
Ini addition to this the Caldwell
Pharmacy has given alcohol to IS
people on their regular signed APP
plications.
Where the Prescription Come From.
/ 1t is interesting to note the source
of the prescriptions during the past
two months. OF course The Tribune
does not intimate that these were
given for any purpose except medical
use; it is merely interesting. The
patients probably all needed the alco-
hol, brandy and whiskey-no beer
counted-but the different schools of
medicine appear to have different
methods, and some patients seem to
need more alcohol. The Caldwell
physicians have prescribed liquor as
follows durin0 January and Eehrua ~.

AUTOMOBILE SHOW

The automobile show, the first ever

the throngs of visitors.

SENATOR BORAH STICKS
TO WESTERN REGALIA

Senator Borah is Western. He is
from Idaho and he don't care who
knows it. Old friends and old hats
alike have place in his heart, and he
steadfastly refuses to cast either aside.
During the inaugural ceremonies the
senator appeared in the old regulation
gray felt had with the wide .brim,
turning a deaf ear to all appeals OF
his conferers to don tall and shining
head-piece.

LEGISLATORS LAST PAY
DAY WAS YESTERDAY

Yesterday was the last payday for
the legislature and the vouchers for
the last ten days of the session are
ready. The warrants will be placed
in single files in order.to accommodate
the rush expected when the last real
money is on tap.
The last payday is in sight, and it is
thought that last, day of the session
will come soon after the Legislature
has been notified that the pay has
ceased.

The assistant engineer of the U. S.

Literature for Fire Department.
The fire department presented a
petition for reading material for the

allowed.

and that right away. During the in.

office OF assessor, a mistake sent ST.

should have dropped into the Golfers
of the city of Caldwell. When this
mistake was discovered, demand was
made upon Mr.. Crowther for the
money. He promised to present the
matter to the cities of Emmett and
Nampa and get the money. Both the
cities have Investigated and will re-

council wants the matter fixed up be-

Crowther that the matter must be

Fire Protection for Canyon Hill.
Mr.. Lilly after having received per-
mission to 60 home in the evenings,

quested to examine and report.

Avertinq a Meat Famine

1t is full time Tor the consumers to
take alarm when the beef packers
complain that there Is not enough
market beef in the country to keep
the packing plants at work, and
appropriate $o0O,UVO to stimulate the
farmers to the growing of more live
stock. We have not been accustomed
to pay much attention to the repeated
prophecies OF meat famine, bui tt is
time to take notice wnen the packers
devote half million dollars to the
work OF averting it. Meat is high
enough now in all conscience, high
enough to compel consumers TO curtail
seriously their supply on the family
table, and high enough, it would seem,
to induce farmers to enter more large
ly upon its production. To make the
farmers realize that beef and pork at
cents pound or more on the hoof
is the most profitable form in which
crops can be marketed, is what the
packers are going to attempt with this
large sum. They are going to carry
on an educational campaign, additional
to that which has been carried on for
