what is known rs "a Big time In ST.
Msrles," " as arrangements were com
pleted yesterday by Johu Chambers,
secretary of the st. Maries st. Joe
River Valley fair, to hold big boot-
ter meeting at the Grand theater on
that evening. To say that this meet
ing will be a big time Is not alone
meaning that its purpose Is big, or
that the attendance Will undoubtedly
pe big, but It also means that the
program of entertainment will be
big, and that anyone coming away
from that gathering without being
Alled with the biggest kind of enthu-
sIasm for the st. Maries fair and the
big time that will result on those
three days. will indeed be 10 the class
which are exempt 10 the way of pub
lio splritedness in st. Marles.
Even at this early date, while the
plans for the meeting are but In their
infancy, Secretary OhRuers has made
arrangements with the different
amusement places about the city, the
lodges, the churches. and In fact
with everything that would In any
way conflict with the meeting, his
arrangements being that all these
different things will refrain from
holding any counter attraction In the
city Of st. MaIies on that night. The
motion picture shows will close after
the frst show to give every body the
chance to attend the meeting at the
Grand, and no meetings Of lodges,
church or societies will be held that
evening.
Rev. B. O. Preston, pastor of the
Plymouth Congregational church of
Spokane, will deliver the main ad-
dress Of the evening, the program
also including short addresses by diff
ferent we'll known local speakers.
Rev. Preston, while pastor or q Spo-
kane church, has his home ia this
region, living on a homestead In the
Benwah district, and hardly a man
could have been picked out by the
committee 10 charge of the big Boos
ter meeting, who Is more enthusiastic
over the st. Maries Fair than be Is.
The st. Maries band will also CIV {
a concert at the meeting, and will
also be in evidence all the afternoon
on the streets of the city, reminding
people that there will surely b'
''SomethinR Doing" that night
Other numbers on the program viii
include vocal solos and duets by pro
minent singers of the city.
Il is not alone on the Booster
meeting. however, that SecretRrl

terest Of the fair during the past fe'
days, as Ia an interview with repre-
sentative oi the Record yesterday, b

city to the fair grounds during th

pleted arrangements with the Re
Collar Line to such an extent that b
