State Will
Observe Flag Day
No Public Exercises Will be Held
in This Citp

Following the custom that has been
known for years throughout the ooun
try Governor Haiues has issued a
proclamation calling upon the people
of the state of Idaho TO observe Satur
day, June l4tb, as Flag Day. The
flag day custom is becoming more and
more popular each year and the prop
er observance of the day is beoom
ing a matter Of as much forethought
and planning as either Memorial Day
or the Fourth of July. On account
nf the numerous other gala occasions
in the city in the past couple of
weeks, no effort will be made to get
up an extensive program for the occa-
sion, the merchants and business men
feeling that with the pr per ohserv
ance of the day by the decorating of
the business houses with our national
emblem, the day may be passed over

that has not had as many celebration

Aquatic Day Fea-
ture Of Fair
Local Motor Boats Will Race on
St. MaTieS Day.

The directors of the st. Maries, st.
Joe River Valley Fair association
have been busy during the past few
days working on another new plan to
help in making the fair this year big
ger and better success than ever be
fore. The directors are making a
personal canvas among the motor boat
owners of this city, of which there
are about 25 or 80, and on one of the
days of the fair will iuaugurate an
Aquatic Day, with an extended pro
gram of races upon the waters of the
st. Joe river.
The races will be entirely local and
efforts will be made to get every mo
tor boat belonging IN tho city out for
the occasion. The boats will be d.
,ided into Glasses according to their
length and horsepower. and thus
every owner will have a chance to
compete for the prizes. In addition
to the motor boat races there will be
severT ROW boat races, aud alsu races
with fra1hed crews In racing shells,
the fale directors being at work on a
plan TO obtain the two racing shells
belonging to the Occur d'Alene row
ing club for the occasion
The fair association Is taking up
the Aquatic Day sports for the pur-
pose of creating more interest in the
boating pasiime and also inoreating
a demand for more boats ia this re-
gion ~
At the present time there are sSue
of tire fastest boats either on tue St.
Joe river or Lake Occur d'Alene,
owned by St. Maries people and from
the way these men are taking hold OF
the plan It is evident that the e'people
will see some very fast and exciting
races despite the fact that no outside
boats will be entered
The fair management has not def
nitely decided upon which day OF the
three fair days the aquatic program
will be rendered, but It is most prob
able that it will be held on St. 49,

MT. Holmes has visited the southern part of Alaska before but he has never seen Nome until now. He las q great itinerary planned which will take him some months. He believes that Alaska is only in its infancy.
 Why" he said. people hardly seem to know what Alaska Is. It is only touched on the surface. Just a few rich spots that were easily found have been operated. The real resources have never had chance"
 Indeed. MT. Holmes, the chief of- tlcial of mines in the United Stntes. thinks moro of Alaska than any Mas kan has ever expressed.
 One most remarkable fact stated by him Is that from this time forward the government will go In systelnnti- ely to the work of examining the mines and mineral prospects of Alaska. Hitherto the geological in- vestigations have been the only ac-
