the big attraction of the afternoon,
over 400 people attending this event
The frst days performance was marr-
ed by considerable delay between the
different events. thus stretching the
program out until 1t vas very late
before all the events we're concluded.
In the main the program was good,
as there we're several spirited buck
ing contests, the cowboys proving
their ability as excellent riders.

horses resulted and one of the boys

fair was certainly a big success, as In
all departments the exhibits we're

mems which owuld win prizes at any
fair in the northwest. The vegetable
and grain exhibits clearly showed the
big resources of this country, which,

en- up. The stock and poultry ex-
hiblts we're remarkable, the chief fea

registered stock which was shown,
stock which has been shown at the
Interstate fair at Spokane previously,
but which this year WAS brought to
the local fair. All judging IL the
stock and poultry shows was comp let

articles here being of fine quality
work, such as fancy work and mil
