AuDnc Neuulhg flanned to Instruct
and Entertain the Public.
Ihe Power County fair committee
decided at its meeting, Monday, to
have three days fair next year.
ana arrangements TO that end are be-
ing made. The committee was very op-
timistic as to the outlook for next
year, and will strive to make the
next fair larger and better than any
that have preceded it, Note has been
taken OF the short comings of the
one just past and steps taken to see
that such are corrected
Like all fairs, there has been a ten
dency during the past two or three
years to neglect the products of the
farm and the livestock industry for
sports. This will be guarded against
the coming year. The sports will be
as good or even better than they were
this year, but the other features will
be looked after TO the end that
the fair will be what it was intended
TO be, an object lesson and an ihspira-
tion TO all who may attend.
The committee unanimously extern
ded an invitation to l.. K. Earring to
take charge of the collection of an
agricultural exhibit, and to act as su-
perintendent of this department dur
ing the fair. Mr.. Earring has condi-
tionally accepted, and there is little
doubt but that he will undertake this
work, for which he is so well pre-
pared. All he will ask, if he accepts,
will be the hearty cooperation of the
farmers, of which he is assured from
the outset. There will be some new
features, one of which will likely be a
baby show. If this is undertaken, as
now seems to be assured, il
will be one of the features Of the
fair. The premiums should be made
large enough for this department to
be attractive. A school exhibit is
another feature that is being consid-
cred, to embrace all the schools of
the county, with handsome first and
second prizes. The American Falls
schools, with their manual training,
domestic science and other depart
ments, could make an exhibit which
would do the school more good than
all the public praise that might be
given il, and other schools would in
a like manner profit to lesser ex-
tent.
A public wedding will probably be
arranged for. There are several of us
who would like to be the star per-
formers in this event, but who are
barred by the statute of limitations
or some other equally good cause.
No doubt this event can be arranged.
There will be an effort to secure a
been shown in the past The stock
of the county is increasing in num-
bers and becoming better in quality |
each year, and very instructive fea-
ture can be made of it, ID. w. Davis. |
NJ. E. Drake and George w. Stanger
have been chosen as a committee to
have this department in charge. They
are sufficiently interested in livestock
development, and energetic enough to
make this one of the leading features.
The premium list committee con-
sists of T. E. st. John, O. F. Crowley
and NJ. Drake, and they will have
the list out in ample time for all to
compete who desire TO do so. The list
should be given to the public before |
the planting season begins.
The sports were so satisfactory this |
year that the same committee is re-
tanned. L. L. Evans, Jr., John W. AL
len and Frank Moench. Some new
features will be added that will be |
of special interest.
Messrs. J. p Mehlhaf, o. F. Crow
ley and II. c. Allen have been cho-
sen as a committee on finance. II is
proposed to get things started early
and keep them moving From all indi-
cations the banner fair will be held
next year.
