near announcing the great and glor
ious time to be had in Emmett thi;
fall during the Festival. Everyone
who leaves the city for trip to the
mountains or in the valley is loaded
with posters and kindly requested tc
post them, wherever he can find q
place. Rev. Oliver Hover, chairman
of the publicity committee, started
Monday for the northern part of the
county on advertising and pleasure
trip combined. Rev. c. L. Walker,
who left for the hills Wednesday was
also loaded with posters.
The chairman of the different COM
mittees are appointing their commit
tees and will be organized and ready
for work in few days. H. L. Fest,
chairman of the committee on live
stock and poultry announces the fol-
lowing helpers; Gus Amen, j. w.
Tyler, David Vahlberg, A. F. Hopkins,
and James Steward, Emmett, E. E..
Pomeroy, Letha; Ezkiel Sweet, Sweet;
and ]. Chandles, OLA Provisions will
be made whereby the exhibitors shall
have a comfortable place to care for
their stock. Emmett is blessed with
liberal amount of shade and quantities
of canvas will supplement the shade
trees. A special effort will be made
to bring out big showing of poultry.
Probably no other point in Idaho ships
so many turkeys as does EmrnetU and
the poultry industry generally is an
important item in our revenues. There
are several fanciers who will take a
keen interest.
The word festival" suggests music,
lots of it and the visitors will not be
disappointed. Prof Knipe, superin-
tendent of the Emmett schools, D. E.
Smithson leader of the band and Miss
Frances Rundstrom have planned "a
mong other things, chorus of so
voices that will offer choice selection
from the classics and then a generous ,
number of good old fashioned songs |
that bring out rich blending of 1000 |
voices. If there is anybody in all this |
great northwest who feels sort of run
down, tagged out, frayed out at the
edges and afraid to pass the under
takers shop for fear he will be the
next to attend his own funeral and
thus be denied the privilege of hearing
the music intended for his benefit
there will be front seat reserved for
MIN at this music festival. 1t will
revive his hopes, renew his ambition,
warm his heart and start flow of
brotherly love that will cause him
to even love his mother-in-law and he
will want to camp in Gem county the
rest of his days. In addition to the
splendid local talent that will be avail
able, several friends from the outside
will visit US and offer us solo, duet and
quartet numbers, both vocal and in
strumental.
Certainly, dear old Scotland will
have special representation. John I
Barber and Bill Little are getting
their "kilties" ready and the bagpipes
will lead the white faced herfords, the
,lydesdales and many Scotch lassies
and laddies in special review. Bill
says if he can get proper slice in the
Of his "kiltics" (and Barber t
las promised to help him out) he will {
ind Scotch lassie tc join him in sing '
ng "Annie Laurie" the sweetest song
,ver written, as duet for the finale. =
The youngsters will have their fling f
throughout the entire period but Fri C
lay night will be the climax. A speci- a
i and liberal prize will be offered for {
he best costume. The mask ball will i
,e an event of dazzling beauty and i
harm long to be remembered as the g
ureka of youth where age wrinkles
will be ironed out to ne'er return
gain and the sparkle will return to
he eye with its younthful charm. y
Then there will be plenty of other d
