Saturday morning our citizens
awoke to find one OF those pleasant
C?) Idaho winds blowing. which
kept up during the day, marring the
pleasures of the visitors to a great
extent, although the crowd was much
larger than had been anticipated,
considering the day. However, ev-
erybody looked pleasant and the pro-
pram OF the day was carried out as
per schedule, although on account of
the wind the balloon ascension had
to be abandoned.
In closing word of praise should
be extended the various committees
having In charge the management of
the fair They worked zealously to
please everybody and make the fair
success, and so well did they sue
ceed that every premium and legiti-
mate bill will be paid in full. and
checks for these items will be forth
coming in few days
Experiencing lne SuCCeSS thdt J'-
rome has enjoyed in holding one
Tri-County Fair and two Fanr and
Field Days there is a general senti-
ment among many that regular fair
association should be organized, and
early arrangements started toward
the holding OF regular county faii
here each year. A plat OF ground
adjoining the town was set aside fol
"a fair ground, and there is no reason
why It should not be utilized. Le
our progressive citizens think this
over, and start the ball rolling early
for a big county fair next year.

WORK HORSES DISPLAY
GREAT INTELLIGENCE
Union Pacific Improvement Work in
Weber Canyon Develops Trio Of
Remarkable Animals.

In the construction of a second |
track through Weber Canyon a few |
miles east of ogden, the Union Pa
cific is eXpending a large amount of
money and among its employees are
numbered three OF the most intelli-
gent horses in the business, if the
latest reports from the seat of this
activity are to be credited.
approximately 10000 cubic yards
of earth and 100000 cubic yards of
rock will have to be moved to COM
plete this work. Steam shovels han
die practically all of this material.
\ tunnel through over ESQ feet of
solid rock on a point near Gateway
Hill known as Sheep rock is part OF
the great endeavor, and when the
new line is completed it will give the
Union Pacific 60 foot grade per
mile as compared with the present
old line grade of SO feet, nearly all
of the undesirable curvature of this
present line being eliminated.
The three horses which have won
renown in the gigantic work at hand
have become famous among the hu-
han employees. There is Keno, g.
year coal black; Jumbo, 10-year
gray, and Don, 7-year black.
Have they brains?-Oh, MY
Each of these bright eyed Union
Pacific animals seems to know when
the work-track switches are properly
lined and has been known to stop OF
his own accord when such is not the
case. Any error by a careless driver
has thus been made impossible by
these horses. by actual observation
No side-swiped cars and no persona
injuries-thanks to Keno, Jumbo

$500 Per Year
Repair Work Proceeding.

Watermaster Rinker on Tuesday
started out several crews in
the Jerome and Wendell districts in
the work of repairing and straight
ening many OF the laterals and cou-
lees throughout the distribution sys-
TEN on the tract We understand 1t
is the intention of the company to
give special attention this fall to
work on the distribution throughout
the tract, as many of the bitches
have become filed up with weeds and
other growth, generally retarding the
flow of water, and with these re-
moved and a channel made where
needed there will be much more
satisfactory delivery of water and
with a much less loss another sea-
son. This work is all being done
under the advice and inspection of
deputies from the State Engineers
Office, and will be continued as long
as the weather will permit, in the
hopes OF putting the system in much
better shape for another season.
An opportunity will be given the
settlers in the various sections where
work is being done, TO assist in this
work, and apply the same on their
Indebtedness to the company, and
those desiring to do this should noti-
. NJ. )fraly 40 nandC a a
assistance he can get, and if the set
tiers are desirous of seeing the sys-
TEN put in first class condition they
are requested to cooperate with the
company in bringing this about.
Engineers are still at work on the
details connected with building the
canal around the reservoir, as it is
found that this is an important piece
OF work and every precaution is be-
ing taken that no mistakes may be
made. Soundings are being made all
along the proposed line of the canal
TO ascertain the rock formations and
to avoid any crevices that may exist,
in order that there may be no loss
of water as is now the case in the
Jerome reservoir. Mr.. Brookman,
an experienced engineer from Mime
apolis, is here looking after the
same, and is working in conjunction
with the state engineers Office in
planning the work to be done. In
the meantime, however, work is 60
ing on throughout the distribution
system, and attention will later be
given to the work yet to be done
along the main canal. We all be-
lieve there will be an abundant sup
ply of water for next season and 1t is
the desire of the company to get this
over the tract with as little loss az
possible so that every settler may
. have his allotted amount.

LONDON Nov ll. - London's morning papers commented at great length on the sinking of the Italian- American liner Ancona. of which they learned from America.
 The Times said today: This lat est Incident in the maritime warfare of Teuton model ought to serve as a salutary comment on Germany's exul- tant congratulations to the United States over its last note to England. Which do they (the United states) prefer, the British or German stand ard of maritime warfare and maritime right? The contract is complete"
 The Daily News said: "cermany or Austria, if the guilt should be proved against all probability to be Austria's, can be left to renew ne- gotlatlons with Secretary Lansing The stili unsettled Lusitania cortrover- sy has today assumed fresh actuality and the principle at stake is entirely unaffected by the question whether or not the Ancona carried American passengers"

BERLIN. Nov. 11.-Germen news paperes have commented with gener- al satisfaction on Secretary Lansings last note to Great Britain demanding the right Of neutral commerce to have freedom of the seas. Two or three of the papers, however speak satirieally of the note.
 The Loicai Anzieger regards the note as worthy of o place besides those of Germany as regards the gravity of the language used" but doubts whether corresponding deeds win follow"
 The Boursen zeitung says: "Ihe note Is not the first of its kind that has been sent to Great Britain, but we have not heard London paying any attention whatever to the wishes and demands put forth in the others, and since Washington plainly believes 1t must have special consideration for lta British cousins. especially since these are such good cousns, the pres ent note win be laid on the shelf with the others without having achieved anything but that the American gov ernment has saved lts iace' e

 Friends of William Christie persist in the belief that the missing man is at the bottom Of the channel as day after day no clue Is found to the un- ravelling Of the mysterious mission which took him away from Troadwen twelve days ago.
