Large Attendance
AtLOCaI Fair
WAS A BIG FINANCIAL SUCCESS
Managers Disappointed Because Merchants Fail
To Exhibit

The third annual fair of the
ST. Joe-St. Maries Valley Fair
association closed Sunday even
ing. In point of attendance as
we'll as financially it was the most
successful fair held here. The
attendance averaged over one
thousand each day as shown by
the records of the association,
and as outside of those employed
about the grounds, there were
practically no free admissions,
the receipts also made a good
showing.
Owing to being obliged to erect
buildings and do a great deal Of
other work about the grounds the
association, year ago, was UNI
able to meet all of its obligations.
This year, the managers assure
us, il will be different. Every
0bilgali)n entercl into tn year
viii be promptly paid and not
only that, but it is proposed t.
pay as many of last years debts
as possible, although it is not
thought that there is money
enough TO meet them ALL
The exhibition itself, so far as
agricultural products are con-
cerned was not as large as had
been hoped for. This was du'
mainly to the dry weather of the
past two months which prevented
the farmers from making tue
showing that they had expected.
The management was also dis
appointed because so many of
the merchants failed TO have ex
hibits. 1t had been thought that
practically every merchant in the
city would avail himself of the
opportunity to advertise him
self and his business but many
who had agreed to exhibit failed
at the last moment. If the faiI
is TO be made q success the mer-
chants must do their share m
the way Of making exhibits, as
we'll as the farmers. Than The
races and other amusemsn,s
came up to the expectations OF
those who attended is shown D,
the fact that the attendance ir-
creased each day of the fair.

Louis Graham, a lumberman

as the guest of Fred Russell. He
is in the west with the view Of
engaging in the lumber business
and is looking for a location for

arc old friends and Mr.. Russ+l
succeeded in interesting him here
to the extent that he has been
spending several days here lcok-

and has practically decided to
locate here and put up a saw mill.
In fact the matter has gone so
far that he has practically de-

on the branch line about four
miles from this city.
This means new business en-

The Two Miracle company has
not yet received the new shaft for
the rock crusher to replace the
one that was broken several days
ago and consequently the work Of
putting on rock is still at a stand

and the men putting in the curb

The broken shaft was of un-
common size being about four
teen feet long by nine inches in
diameter and could not be re-
placed in the west and the only
thing to do was to send to the fac
tory at Cudaley, Wisconsin where
the crusher was made for a new
one.
The company did their utmost
to hurry it along and although

To Put A Stop
To BOOtIeSSing
CITY AUTHORITIES TAKE A HAND
Two are Arrested and Warrant Out For Third
Preliminary Hearing Saturday

The city officers are making an
effort to stop the bootlegging
that is going on in the city.
Omcer William Steele made two
arrests Saturday on this charge
the warrants in both cases be-
ing issued on complaints sworn
10 by himself. He also swore
cut a third warrant which has nVt
been served as yet.
The defendants in the two cases
who were arrested were E. w.
Knapp who resides in a boat
house on the river in which, 1T
is said he has made a practice
of furnishing liquor, and b. n.
Cash, one of the proprietors of
the Missouri Cafe, on Tenth ST.,
two blocks from the depot.
The neighbors have been MAX
ing complaints of this place for
some time, claiming that liquor
was being sold openly there and
that parties gathered in the box
es and were served with liquor
and would drink and carouse un-
Ill the place became public
nuisance.
Knapp and Cash were both TAX
an before Justice Keeton Mon
day morning and both asked for
a preliminary hearing. AT the
request of County Attorney Wer-
nette both hearings were set for
next Saturday. Each of the de-
PENDANTS was place under one
hundred dollar bonds to appear
at that time and the bonds were
furnished.
TO a Record representative Is.
X. Cash denied that he had ever
been engaged in bootlegging and
claimed to have been out of the
city at the time the offense is
alleged to have been committed.
lie said that if any liquor had
ever been sold in the restaurani
it had been sold by his partner
and without his knowledge OF
consent and that he intended GO
fight the case to the end.
His partner, Jerry Sawyer, is
the third man for whom Mr.
Steele swore out a warrant. lr
his case, however, the warrant
could not be served as he haC
left the city. Cash stated tha'
Sawyer had gone to Spokane
and that he had probably hearC
that a warrant was out for hin
and because of that he had faileC
to return.
II is commonly reported tina
bootlegging has been going OF
here as we'll as in Occur d'Alen'
almost openly and that anyone
who desired would have no trou
BILE in securing a drink in eithe
place, and yet the sheriff's oiiic
has made no effort to put a stol
to it. 1t is a common repor
that the sheriff will make no eff
fort to enforce the law or put
stop to bootlegging until afte
election for fear that by so doinl
he might lose some votes and tha
if anything is done it will haV
TO be by the city officials.

that on account of the extremely
dry season the ranchers in his
locality did not have any vegc-

display at the local fair, thus ac-
counting for the lack of exhibits
from that region.

USE A "BLUFF" TO IMPRESS
Some Cases Of Deception That Have

Group Of Bankers.

A group of bankers met for their
daily lunch at club restaurant
where 1t was their habit to discuss
various problems. This time the con-
versation drifted toward the various
modes of deception practiced by peo
pie. One member related how, among
his acquaintances there were five who
owned pianos but not one could play.
These friends, he stated, were in hot
fair circumstances, and to his think
ing 1t was folly to invest merely for
the sake of appearances. Another
member of the party stated that he
knew family where they had five
shelves for the fake books to enlarge
the library SO that 1t would have an
impressive appearance. Glass doors
covered the shelves, and whenever a
visitor expressed desire to consult
any particular book the key to the
doors could not be found. Each bank
er seemed to havo some story to tell;
even silent Clarke" as one of the
members was known. because of the
few stories he told startled them all

Lawyer Scored on Judge.


Lord Mansfield received a hard set
ting down from Thomas Erskine. The
latter was arguing a case before the
house of lords-a Scottish appeal re-
lating to a trust estate. In the course
of his argument he had frequent occa-
sion to use the word Curator" always
pronouncing 1t in the manner approved
in the Scottish courts; that is. with
the accent on the first syllable.
This grated upon the ears Of Lord
Mansfield, who, though Scotsman by
birth. had taken pains to become
Anglicized. At last he broke out:
"Mr. Erskine. we are in the habit in
this country of saying curator. fol-
lowing the analogy of the Latin. In
which. as you are doubtless aware. thu
penultimate syllable is long,"
