IDAHO HELPS TO MAKE
CLOSING DAYS EPOCHAL

ASSAANN La - GEONE1AL
San Francisco, Nov. oth.-In line
with her splendid cooperation and CO =
ordination throughout the entire ex-
position period, Idaho, with closing
day, December 4th, a scant four weeks
away, is %rill sending her quota of
citizens to San Francisco to parti-
clPate In the events which arc making
the closing weeks epochs in them
selves.
1t is but day and a half from
Idaho to San Francisco and for this
reason many of her people are taking
advantage of the fine fall weather to
take run down for a week or so for
d last, long look at the beautiful Jewel
City which all too soon will pass into
the world of wonderful dreams too
true to last.
Those who are taking the trip now
fSd plenty of novelties to interest
them. Also the agriculturists are
hnding much of interest to them in
their vocations.
The stock shows are still on. This
week, swine, sheep and goats have
held the stage. Next week it will be
the sheep shearing contest. The fol-
lowing week poultry will be shown
and Judged. At present agriculturists
from all over the West and Middle
West have gathered for congresses
and conventions which are held in the
Live Stock Building. Harness races
with $4,000 stakes are run daily ex-
cept Sunday and will be run until the
last day of the month.
Sir Thomas Upton is expected the
last week of November and he will
remain here until the end of the ex-
position. A special program will be
arranged for him. Weather permit
ting, yacht races are planned in his
honor. Art Smith, the ever-popular
aviator will fly FIVE times a week from
now until December 4th, his last ex-
position fight to take place at eleven
o'clock on the evening of December
4th.
Over sixty thousand people regis
tered at the Idaho building since the
opening day. AS the registrations
seem to be keeping up with the sum
total, there will no doubt be 10000
when the page is turned for the last
time. The success that has attended
the exposition does not intend to
wane. On Sunday, November 9TH,
over $4,000 people passed the turn
stiles which is the record for a day
not scheduled as a special one.
Two distinctive features have been
manifested by Idaho in her splendid
participation-understanding and eff
cheney which always go hand in hand
with success.
1t has not failed this time. Besides
the splendid pavilion erected by the
state of Idaho on the Avenue of Ma
tons overlooking the Marina, home
well-equipped and beautifully furnish
ed the exhibits Of Idaho in the Palaces
of Mines, Agriculture and Horticul-
ture have b en- excellent manifesto
tons of the fertility of Idaho agricul-
turists, as we'll as the wealth that lies
under the land.
In the final summing up of prizes
this Northwest Empire has made
regal showing. Two medals of honor,
one for cheese and one for potatoes,
were awarded in the agricultural de-
partment. In this same section Fl
gold medals, 100 silver medals and 10
bronze, medals were accorded to the
Idaho farmers for grains. In this
Palace of Mines two gold medals for
GillSg (OPPSiB ANoN anu AASA OASop I"O
silver medals for booth installation,
two bronze medals for zinc, gold and
copper ore and a special gold medal
to Mr.. Edward Schwerd in charge of
the Idaho mining exhibit were few
of the honors carried off by this pro-
ductive state.
Idaho's cooperation socially has
been just as signal as her commercial
aid. Under the able regime of Mrs.
w. H. Ridenbaugh, the official hostess,
the building has been the gathering
place of many of the most prominent
people in the diplomatic and society
world. Afternoon teas, dinners, re-
ceptions, dances have been a few of
the delightful entertainments accord
ed visiting notables and all visiting
Idaho people.
Among the prominent citizens of
Idaho who have taken an active part
in the festivities at the building are
Mr.. o. E. Jackson, Mrs. w. F. Will
liams, ]. B. Randall, Joseph Fallen
