farm products which had been in
stalled in the store room adjoining
the Times office. This display was
arranged under the direction of Mr..
NJ. A. Aitken, and was certainly one
worth going many miles to see. and
in fact il is questionable if there was
ever a display of local products that
could equal it, not barring the great
land show in Chicago, which we have
personally Witnessed. Mr. Aitkin has
had a force of experts at work most
of the season in selecting the choice
specimens from various farms on
the tract. many of which were from
the farm of Mr.. ID. G. Mac Waters,
his grain having mostly been grown
from pedigreed seed, and one would
hardly believe that the North Side
could grow such products and the
eXclamations of surprise and admir-
alton from the thousands who visited
this display were interesting TO hear
and surely reflected great credit upon
the growers as we'll as the one who
was responsible for the arrangement

Artesian Wells on Camas Prairie.

The Camas Prairie country laying
north of here which has been given
over to dry farming in the past. have
found that artesian wells may be OBJ
tanned at no great cost. One was
struck last week. on the Selby farm.
and the Gooding Leader tells about
it as follows:

sufficient for the domestic require
ments of the ranch, and again AT the
GA foot level still better flow was
found.
Al 10 feet the drill passed into
what had been at one time in the
long ago surface soil. There was
decayed vegetation similar in all re-
spects to that on the surface of the
prairie at the present time. There
was sagebrush in a fair state of
preservation. and the other growths
that occur on the Prairie now.

II there is any one thing that
community prides itself upon it is
the efficiency OF it's school system.
and any attempt to lower the stand

stern opposition by all. la the bound
aries of Lincoln county are located
/ 3 different school districts. with 80
separate school buildings These
buildings are occupied with upwards
OF 1900 pupils who are enrolled as
scholars. and each OF these districts
prides itself upon its schools and the
efficiency in the management of the
same. With all of these various
schools the county superintendent
has more or less TO do. hence ii can
be seen that in the short space of
two years this official has barely
time To become acquainted with the
work and the needs of the various
districts. In this connection we wish
to call attention TO the work done by
Miss Stella Cook during her term OF
Office. Notwithstanding the fact that
she has been deprived of any assist
lance In the Office she has found time
to familiarize herself with the work
OF the various schools of the county

Witnessed it,
The battle royal probably created y
as much amusement as anything on
the program. This was pulled off
on stand on Main street erected for
the purpose and was participated in
by four members of the colored race,
and the affair kept the large crowd
in a roar of laughter during its en-
actment.
1t may be said in closing that Je-
rome's first annual Fair and Field
Day was the most successful event
that has ever been held in the city.
Conservative estimates place the
number of people here at fully four
thousand, and a more orderly and
better natured crowd never mingled
together anywhere. but this is only
another demonstration OF the oft re-
peated exclamation that the North
Side has the best and most congenial
lot OF people in the whole country
Autos were here from every direction
and if anyone thinks that this sec
tion is suffering from hard times
they should have taken time to count
these autos, at one time there were

the hotel grounds.
| The days festivities closed with a
| free dance at the Amusement hall in
the evening, which was participated
in by hundreds of strangers as we'll
as the town and country people, and
though the spacious hall was crowd
ed TO its limits. here again was dis
played the good nature of our people
kind. and everybody was jostled
around in a good natured manner
Much credit is due the various
committees who had charge of the
various branches of the fair as there
was no hitch anywhere. The liber-
ality of the business men who furn-
ished the financial aid in making it
possible to hold this event. is to be
commended. Everything was free.
and the streets were devoid of any of
the takers and other grafters that
Iusually follow an event of this kind.
No accident of any kind occurred 10
mar the PLEASURE of the day. and as
evening closed in on the festivities
everybody was ready TO vote the day
a most successful one. coupled with
the wish that it may be repeated an
other year, when more time can b'
given to the arrangement of the de
tails.

ing. and each and every one was
ready TO pay honor to these distln-
guished gentlemen who mingled with
the crowd and partook of the par
becue lunch along by the side OF the
ranchers and other citizens OF TINS
section. Mr.. Peterson made snort
address from the steps of the lnn'
congratulating the people of this sec
tion on the success of the day ana
having high tribute to the general
prosperity of the people of the North
Side tract.
In the meantime the sports were

were under the supervision OF H. >.

Cne feature of the amusement pro-

bushels of apples were required for
the purpose.
Scattered along the Main street at
different intervals where there were
vacant lots. was found the display
of live stock. many of the farmers
taking occasion 10 bring in their best
specimens of horses, cattle, hogs and
sheep. and here again was demon
strated the interest of the farmers in
the success of the event. as while the
premiums were only nominal there
was a most creditable showing in the
various classes
The school exhibit was placed in
the store room adjoining the Jerome
Mere. Co. store. and attracted wide
interest among those interested
in the : C h 90 work. Here
was exhibited the work of the vari-
Gus Boys and Girls cubs. upon
which premiums had been received

The manual training department of
the school was represented by several
of the scholars who were busy at
work at the benches, the department
being equipped with a most complete
set of up-to-date tools for the work.
Here also was demonstrated the

The main feature of the exhibits,
however, was the display of grains,

If We attempted to describe this ex-
hibit, but as several photos of the
same were taken, we hope to pre-
sent an illustration of it in subse-

boxes of ripe strawberries that were
picked the morning of the fair. Oct.

McVey Objected.
WAS SNORTlNG BULLMO0SER

Prof. J. L. Lewinshon of the State
University has resigned and all b.
cause the president objected to tho
faculty taking an active part in poll
tics. It has been understood for some
time that all was not we'll between tho
professor Of law, and the president but
it had been thought that there would
be no immediate rupture. Lewinshon's
argument which has been printed in
some of the papers is somewhat ramb-
ling covering the rights of citizenship
while the president takes the broad
ground that an instructor in the Uni
versity is in the same general position
as Judge on the bench and ought t.
keep out of politics, so far as taking
part in political meetings is concerned.

IDENTIFIES CRIMINALS
BY FINGER PRINTS
Inspector Faurot Perfects Great
Weapon For Detectives.

New York.-Under the direction OF
Inspector Joseph A. Faurot, chief Of
New York city's detective bureau, the
finger print system of Identifying GRIM
inals has been almost perfected, and
in this manner Identification Of crimi-
pals becomes q simple matter when
they have ''records''-t Is, when
they have been in the tolls on previ-
Gus occasions. VI
Finger prints are divided into four
classes, known as "loops," ''arches."
''swoles" and composites" It takes
an expert but an instant to classify
the prints. These are all kept on file
at police headquarters in large cities,
and Immediately after some crime is
committed the detectives try to obtain
the finger prints of the criminal.
These are taken to the headquarters
for comparison. Along with the prints
there are kept descriptions Of the
criminals and in many instances pho
tographs. Thus, once the print is OBJ
tanned, Identification becomes sim
pie matter If the record Is on file.
To bring out the prints and make
the lines clear certain chemicals are
used. The faintest marks can be made
to show clearly upon any object.
This system was inaugurated by In
spector Faurot, and he has developed
