The aviation performance Of Profess
sor Munter was up to- standard. and he
spent full twenty minutes in the air.
There was some breeze, and the air
currents, ceming in puffs, left bad
holes' in the air for the aeroplane.
The aviator, however, managed to han
die his machine with his usual skill, and
when he alighted the crowd had been
treated to one of the best flights which
has been made in this part of the
country.
The running race for SIS was good
and was won by Titus. Second and
third places were taken by Devalto and
Fred Warren. In the harness race for
the $500 purse, Jim Stewart was second
and Coed third. The usual stock par
ade took place at 2 O'Clock, and was
even better than former parades. The
carefully groomed stock Of the best
blood made pretty showing which was
appreciated by those who did not know
enough about livestock to appreciate
the finer points Of the animals which
paraded.
| Many Pocatelloans motored to Black
foot during the fair, some spending sew
eral days. They report that they re-
ceived royal reception at the hands of
the Blackfoot residents and the man
agement Of the fair, and that they were
offered every courtesy which was in the
power of the people TO offer them. The
last days attendance was a record and
the races, flying, ETC., were better than
during the first three days. The con-
census of opinion of those who returned
from Blackfoot Friday was that the
fair was excellent in every respect; both
from an educational and entertainment
standpoint, and that it was well worth
the patronage Of anyone who wished to
spend few hours enjoying the best Of
everything, all gathered into one small
space for the occasion. = Pocatello

Much amusement was caused by the
Indians Watermelon race. Water
melons were placed at distance Of 200
yards down the track from the grand
stand, and it was up to the Indians to
start, race to the melons, pick one up
mount and race back to the grandstand
without breaking the melon. The fea-
ture Of this performance lay in the bad
luck Of one brave. He could not mount
after he had picked up his melon, and
after all the other racers had finished
and were at the line, he finally succeed
ed in mounting. Everything went wei
with him until he was almost to the fin

MUCH SHIP-BUILDING IN
PROGRESS AT KOBE, JAPAN
(By Associated P<ess. }

Kobe, Japan, Nov. 30.-No visit
or who enters Kobe by sea can fail
to observe the great activity in ship
building at this port The most
heavily capitalized sbip-yard in
Japan is located here, and all its
docks are filled with work Three
large ship and many smaller ones
are in course of construction Elec-
trical steel riveters keep up a con-
stant ain which can be heard far
out at sea.
In June there were forty-four
ships, aggregating lSs.O00 tons in
the hands of japanese builders and
the tonnage has increased consider
ably since that time, although the
exact figures are not available. All
japanese shipyards have orders
whic' will keep them at high pres
sure for ober year. The scarcity
of cargo space which the entire
worl1 is feeling, has thrown much
yards.
The ship-yard at Osaka is report
ed to have nearly 100000 tons OF
steel ships in course of construction.
II is estimated that there is n ton
mage of $4,000 in course of construc-
tion here in Kobe ard small yards in
-~-ious ports probably have a ton
navA - $4,000 under way.
Prices for ships have risen at
amazing rates. Freight Is congested
at practically every important port
in the Far East. In giving orders,
the shipping concerns inquire about
the speed with which a commission
can be executed rather than the
charge. II is rumored that the right
OF placing orders is now being sold
and bought at a high premium by
those interested in shfpbuiIding
transactions.
