SIXTH ANNUAL BONNER COUNTY FAIR CLOSES TONIGHT AFTER
THREE DAYS SUCCESSFUL RUN-BETTER AND LARGER
EXHIBITS AND GREATER ATTENDANCE

Favorable 900 Entries Made-Bsby Contest
Had AZ Entries

This exhibit appealed the most to
the ladies', but at the same time it
interested the men, particularly
those approaching artistic work.
The space in this department was
too small to permit the showing of
all the displays to their best advan-
tage and Superintendent Walker,
Medbury and Moore deserve the
highest praise for the manner in
which they arranged and cared for
the displays. The exhibit was GER
tainly one of the most beautiful at
the fair.
The fruit and vegetable depart
ment at the fair constituted as grand
display as could be produced by
any district in the west. 1t was all
raised in the Kootenai Valley.
There were tiers and tiers of little
apples and big apples, of rosy
apples, yellow apples, green apples,
lcrab apples, all of uniform sizes
and neatly arrayed. There were
pretty stands of prunes, fine exhib-
its of pears of all kinds, tempting
peaches and plums. The displays
of grains and grasses were plentiful
while those of field and garden
vegetables was sight good to see.
The size and quality of the exhibits
in these departments was sur
prise even to residents of this
vicinity.
The individual farm displays
were all fine exhibits and the
Judges had hard time determining
upon the best display. The $50
clock offered by the Northern
Pacific railway for a sweepstakes
prize was awarded to T. J. Jones
and the second prize was awarded
to William Mas. Both exhibitors
had fine displays and it was with
difficulty that the first winner was
selected. Farm and fruit displays
were made by Louis Erlewien,
Henry Tank, o. H. Campbell,
E. w. Wells, 7. ]. Jones, Vim.
Mas and Tony Brown. Each in
dividual display was excellent and
and worthy of the high praise they
received.
The exhibits of horses, cattle,
hogs and poultry were an attraction
for the stock men and the farmers.
Some fine thoroughbred stock was
displayed and the stock pens were
one of the departments which were
thronged day and night by inter
ested crowds.
Every person with the slightest
excuse for an appetite spent long
anxious moments at the booth of
the culinary department. 1t is not
probable that such a large and
tempting display of cakes, bread
butter, jellies, pies, etc has ever
been exhibited before in Northern
Idaho. This department was a
decided favorite with the crowds
and those who saw the display will
not wonder why. 1t was in charge

OF course yesterday was the big
day of the fair. 1t was so planned
and in honor of Standpoint Day"
about 800 Standpoint business men

is languishing in the county Jail at
Standpoint, awaiting trial in the
district court on the charge of hav-
ing forged and passed checks on
several Boomers Ferry merchants.
Wilson arrived in town last Fri
day evening from the camp of the
Moyie Hydraulic Mining and
Water Power Company at Moyie
Springs where he had worked
few days, receiving a check from
the mining company for S5.95 in
payment for his labor. He was
accompanied by man giving his
name as McCorken. The two be-
came acquainted, during the even
ing, with Mr. Montgomery, of the
H. & M. Mining company. Will
son showed Montgomery check
he carried purporting to have been
made out by a man by the name of
Martin on a Montana bank for
$155 90 and payable to Paul Smith.
Wilson informed Montgomery that
he would deposit the check in the
First State Bank for collection.
Montgomery saw Wilson go into
the First State Bank but did not
notice what he did in the building.
Saturday evening Wilson again
met Montgomery and told him
that the First State Bank had re-
ceived word from his check and
that it was all right and also that
he was going to get one of the
bank officials to give him a check
for $50 so that he would have
money enough to tide him over
Sunday. Naturally Montgomery
figured that Wilson was all right
and had plenty of money. A
little later Saturday evening Wilson
returned to Montgomery and ex-
hibited a check drawn in his favor
and supposedly signed by w. D.
Baxter. This check was cashed
at the Pastime Cigar store upon
its being endorsed by Montgomery.
Wilson proved to be a good fellow
with his pals and the money soon
vanished. He then produced a
check for $1,000 supposed to have
been signed by +. +. Moore.
This check was cashed at the Club
saloon when Montgomery identified
Wilson as the man for whom the
check was written. This check
was drawn on the First State Bank.
Money came easy for Wilson
and he evidently decided to work
with checks from the Farmer S and
Lumbermen's State Bank. He
secured the blank checks from
Dave Davis's pool room and made
out check for SIS to which he
forged the name of ]. w. Turner,
of the Moyie Hydraulic Mining
and Water Power company. This
check he had cashed at the estab-
lishment of Maxine Woods. He
cashed another check bearing the
forged signature of Il. w. Turner
and calling for S15.65 a. Jumbo 5
restaurant. About this time Nc
Corken tried the forging game, it
is claimed, and attempted to pass a
$500 check at the Gilt Top Bar.
The check was turned down.
Sunday, Jack Nave, proprietor
OF the Club saloon, became suspic-
ious that something was wrong
and brought the check he had
cashed early Saturday evening to
Marshall Morley and an investiga-
ton was made. 1t was soor
learned that the check was a for.

Warning to Stock Raisers.

Mr.. Nelson Stevens lost several head
Of cows recently. They died so quickly
it was at first thought they had been
poisoned. DR.. Oliver was called and he
stated that the trouble was caused by
turning the cattle on alfalfa early in
the morning before the frost had dried
off. Mr.. VIM. Simpson, near Column
bus, lost several cows about the same
time, and the Columbus Dispatch. in
noticing it, gives the following warn
ing to stock-raisers:
A drove Of cattle we're turned into an
alfalfa field, which had been recently
! cut over, the cattle going on the pas
ture early in the morning before the
frost had time to dry out Of the same.
Shortly after the cattle had begun to
Craze they were affected with bloating
and before they could be gotten off the
! pasture several head or about $3.50 %
worth died. DR.. Oliver was called and
treated the affected cattle and within a
few hours they were alright again
1t seems that eating the frosted al
falfa before it had dried out, causing
fermentation and the engendering of a
large amount of gas in the cattle and
this caused quick death. Mr.. Simpson
saved a large number of the affected
cows by giving them exercise, but at
ore time it seemed that his loss would
be a much larger one than that o
tered.
His experience is recounted for the
benefit of the whole prairie belt and ex-
p%erience along this line. DR.. Oliver
says it will be we'll not to Craze on such
pasture until the frost has dried out
and it would be well to feed the cattle
before turning them out on the pasture.

The PresbyteriGns.

The Kansas Synod of the Pres
terrain Church IS meeting in EmpO-
ria this week. They are a fine lot
these Presbyterians. Every
church colOrs its membership more
or less. There is a Presbyterian
face, Just as there is a Catholic face
and a Unitarian face and a MethO
dist face. The truth as it is seen
by Calvin and his followers affects
a certain type of men-or it ap
peals to a certain type; the result
is the same. So in the Presbyte-
rian church you find a solid, sub
stantial, debt paying, rather scru.
pulously exacting people with mon
ey at interest, or with stocks and
bonds; good people, the leading
citizen type; the professional rath-
er than the artisan type; the up
per crust of the middle class. They
are not as excitable as the Metho-
dists, and do not part with their
money so easily as the Catholics,
nor are they so public spirited as
the Congregationalists, nor so sure
of their own route to glory as the
Baptists. But the worlds poor
houses never contain a quorum of
Presbyterians, nor does a Presby-
terian know his way without aid
through the bankruptcy court.
They are hard promisers, but good
performers. They talk little and
do much.
Moreover, any coloring the Ga
zette has today for President Will
son, may be accounted for by tele-
pathy. For certainly these Pres.
byterians are proud of that man!

In the mental vigor and physical

equipped through varied expert
ences of seventeen years in differ

called to assume the duties of pres

succession to w. w. Finley. He
entered the service of the Southern

came assistant to the president.
Within three years more he was
elected ice.president of the road
and held that position until 1910,
when he became president of the

Railroad, which is controlled joint.

was a close and trusted friend and
adviser of Mr.. Finley and in thor
ough sympathy with the policies
of the latter which were SO ellec
tive in advancing the interests of
the Southern, and is undoubtedly
fully alive to the tremendous re.
sponsibilities that have devolved
upon him. The Southern Railway

THE SPUCS.

S. P. U. G. S. is the enphemis-
tic title adopted by the members
of the Society for the Prevention
of Useless Giving. This associa-
ton was formed to meet a long
felt want, to correct a growing
evil, Christmas giving which once
was, and should have remained a
thing between loved ones or close
friends has degenerated into
mere mercenary exchanges of
gifts. A Christmas gift now
means, in many instances, only
the return for a gift last year or
the expectation of one from the
donee this year or next.
Only with the children has the
true spirit of Christmas been pre-
served. They give for the love
of giving and receive with no
base idea of the quid pro quo.
Health and success to the spugs
and may their numbers increase.
If they accomplish their object
Christmas will cease to be what
it is in a measure-a burden and
q bore.
