CROWDS ARE HERE FOR
BIG CANYON COUNTY
STATE FAIR


breaking hrst-day attendance. There
were fully 5000 visitors in the city and
the gate passed something over 5000
to the grounds.
The Livestock show is really the big
attraction at the fair Over 1000
head of horses, cattle and hogs are
on exhibit, and experts pronounce the
show the finest ever seen in the north
west.
Considerable curiosity was aroused
bv the Persian sheep, four of which
are on exhibit The four-day lamb
skin is worth $1,000 which makes
them worth raising. w. S. McAdoo
has his Angoras on hand, and fine
showing they make.
The poultry exhibit is fully up to
that of last year, which is enough to
attract many visitors.
In the Agriculture Hall the absence
of Emmett was noticed The Ke-
fauver Fruit Farm brought down some
fine grapes from that burg and helped
out what promised in the early hours
OF Preparation Day to be the poorest
department of the fair Later the ex-
hibits came in very nicely. The seed
corn of Chas. c. Tobias is simply STU
perb. The grains, grasses and po-
tatoes of L. L. Young are among the
best ever ever shown. Oris McCul-
Tough has a splendid display of his
apples and Bob White has farm ex-
hibit that would make the, fastener
green with envy
The precincts exhibits of Fargo and
Fair Acres are both fine. In corn the
Fair Acres exhibit has the best of it.
but the Fargo exhibit is more varied
and larger. In front of the Fargo
show is replica of the homestead of
few years ago, showing in detail the
difficulties of the pioneer.
In the Household and Fine Arts
hall the exhibits were easily up to the
standard and have created enthusiasm
The Dairy exhibits were not very
numerous but were all good.
The school exhibits were crowded
most of the time. The storm of We'd
nesday night did considerable damage
to the work of the children and it is
hoped some permanent exhibit place
can be arranged another year.

Thursday was big day all around.

most part was finished. Space this
week forbids any description of the
exhibits, but most of The Tribune
readers saw them and need no remind
ers.
The governor and his staff were a
part of the program, but the race pro-
gram proved to be the biggest center
OF attraction. The day was warm ana
exceptionally clear and the officers of
the course were on their toes. Every
thing went off on schedule and the
crowded grand stand had plenty OF
fun.
Fun on the Streets.
