THE FAIR OPENS.
First Tri-County Fair Opens Un.
der the Most F avorable
Auspices.

When the gates of the TriCounty
Fair were thrown open to the pub
lie yesterday morning, the scene
presented was vindication Of all
prior claims made by the manage
ment.
1t is not our intention to give
anything like a detailed account Of
the affair. Suffice it to say, how
ever. it is the most successful fair
in the way of exhibits that has ever
been held in this section of the
state. Those of our citizens who
visited the fair at Boise last week
pronounce the exhibition far in ex-
cess of anything they saw there,
and their statements corroborated
by Mr.. w. H. Dolan, a resident of
Boise who was here yesterday, and
after going through the grounds
had no hesitancy in saying that our
exhibits were far superior to any
thing he saw at the Inter Mountain
fair last week.
As an indication Of the interest
that has been manifested in the fail
here, Secretary Hale reports ovel
1000 entries having been made.
The attendance yesterday was
fair considering it was the first day
but enormous crowds are looked fo
to-day and tomorrow, which vii
of course be the two best days o
the fair. The program include
some good races and no one shout,
fail to attend.

Jerome Has Good Babies.

A number of mothers Of Jerome out
side OF those that were mentioned in
our last issue, took their babies to
Boise last week for competition in the
Better Baby contest, and reports received
from there are to the effect that all the
babies from here scored high, the second
prize in class A being awarded to Flor
ence Mannon, the little daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. James Mannon of this place.
The contest proved much more extern
sive than the managers had anticipated,
and as a consequence inadequate provi.
sions were made for examining the hun
dreds Of babies that were presented.
1t WAS the first contest OF the kline
ever held in the state, and another veal
promises to see vast improvement il
many ways.

SEALEY-OAV|S
 SHOWING WELL
Find Rich Values in Lead cnd the Force Of Men Will Soon be
 Increased.

.,a...l haEles Sealey,a lailt, .-A4atl .iiata Davis. has had a lease on the claims of the Sealey-Da\is Min ing company, arrived in town to- day, bringing the news that the lead which they have been fol- lowing is now carrying rich val ues and that they will increase the force of men king on the claims as soon as possible.
 The leSSeeS have been follow ing the lead for 2l5 feet and while if carried values they were not satisfied and continued the work and have now succeeded in strik- ing the lead carrying the rich valles of thetClitf mine, which it adjoins. The tunnel driven gives depth of 80 feet and il is now planned to drop lower down the hill and start another tunnel to tap the lead at a greater depth. The lead is 32 inches wide and has been followed some distance since breaking into the higher values.
 Sealey and Davis were the orig inal lOcators and have always been confident that the property would be a payer if enough de- velopment work was done, so they secured lease on the ground last fall and commenced the work and have been rewarded with sue cess and their Judgment Vindi- cated.
 A mill test was recently made by the Valdez stamp mill of i2 tons of ore and the returns were used to- further continue he work of opening the mine.
 The present force of men will be increased as soon as possible and the wor actively continued.

RUSSIANS REJOICE
 BALKAN VICTORY
Police Whip a Mob to Stay a Demonstration-compiica-
 tions Feared.

SI. Petersburg. April 1.-The hus%iaHS~=i1rfp nave gf1Ii7r' rrHzy over the victory of the Bulgar- ians over the Turks and have started demonstrations in all parts of the city compeIlins the police to use whips to stay the mob. Many people were hurI by the police.
 The government immediately ordered out the troops to assist the police, as it was feared that the mob might make d demon- stration against the Austrians and Germans, who are very un- popular here because of the at titude of the two governments to- wards, the members of the Slav race, and the government did not wish at this time tO be drawn in- to war with Germany and Aus tria.
 The feeling of the Russians is strong for war and voluntary en- listments have been received for the army and navy and Russia may be forced to stand behind he allies in the demands they will make for territory. and it is fear ed that a crash may be precipitat- ed by the Austrians. who are de- trrmined to prevent the allies gathering in the fruits of victory.
 A strong guard has been plac- ed around the Austrian and Ger man ambassadors homes to pre- vent the mob from making a dcm- 0nstratiOn.

Chicago, April IA. C. Frost .-ass~ss,t ii44+ +--ea~ the" ~stHnefa and when asked today by Attorney Fink what he meant when he wrote that he was glad that Ballinger had been appointed agent for tn" general land office and that he could now get what he wanted from the office.
 in explanation Frost said that lhe policy of secrecy maintained by the department, it's method of refusing to give to settlers or promoters any idea of what the department considered a proper course to pursue in order to Ob- tain title and the fact that they waited until a man did something and then would start after him in order to make a record for them- selves and a grandstand play to the conservation-craZy public, lead him to write that the ap- pointmeni of Ballinger would mean that he (FrOst) would now be able. at least. to get informa- ton from the department, as BaIInger had been his personal attorney and a strong personal friendship existed between them.
 No improper thought had ever entered his head of using the friendship for ulteriOr motives. "I always thought l was doing right and that in developing the valuable coal lands of Alaska l was doing a public servicp.'

Few persons who admire the irideScence of ancient glassware know that the prismatic hues dis played are a result of the decay of glass.

Sand Cure for Fatigue.

One of the most efficacious cures for fatigue from overwork consists in walking barefoot in sand. The nerves of the sole and heel are slightly irritated by com ing in contact with the grains and accelerate the circulation of the blood in all pars of the body. The effect produced is highly in vigorating. Besides this, the monotony of an ample extent of yellow sand exercises soporitlc effect on the brain which induces sleep.

Il expression. He was classed - a

because he treated simple themee.
