In line with her splendid co-opera-
ton and coordination throughout the
entire exposition period, Idaho, with
closing day, December A, is still send
ing her quota of enthusiastic citizens
to San Francisco to participate in the
events which are making the closing
weeks epochs in themselves. 1t is but
a 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 a run
down for a week or so for a last, long
look at the beautiful jewel city which
will all too soon pass into the world
of wonderful dreams. too true to last.
Those who are taking the trip now
find plenty of novelties to interest
them. Also the agriculturists are find
ing much of interest to them In their
vocation. The stock shows are still
on. This week, swine, sheep and goats
have held the stage. Next week IL
will be the sheep shearing contest
The following week poultry will be
shown and judged. At present agri-
culturists from all over the west ana
middle west have gathered for con-
crosses and conventions which are
held daily in the livestock building.
Harness races with twenty thousand
dollar stages are run daily except
Sunday and will run until the last
day of the month.
Over sixty thousand people have reg
istered at the Idaho building since
opening day. AS the registration
seems to be keeping up the sum total
will no doubt be seventy thousand
when the page is turned for the last
time.
Two distinctive features have been
manifested by Idaho in her splendid
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and ef-
f~iciency, which always go hand in
hand with success. 1t has not failed
this time. Besides the splendid pa
vilion erected by the state of Idaho
on the avenue of nations overlooking
the Marina, a home well equipped
and beautifully finished. the exhibits
of Idaho in the Palace of Mines, agri-
culture and horticulture have been
excellent manifestations OF the fer
tility of Idaho soil and the compre-
hension Of Idaho a~griculturists, as
well as the wealth that lies under the
land
In the final summing up of prizes
this northwest empire has made a re-
gal showing. Two medals OF honr
one for cheese and one for potatoes
were awarded Ia the agriculture de
partment. In this same section
81 gold medals. one hundred silver
medals and ten bronze medals were
accorded to Idaho farmers for grains
In the palace of mines two GOLD
medals for zinc, copper. lead and iron
ores, two silver medals for booth in
stallation, two bronze medals for zinc
gold and copper ores and a specia
gold medal TO Edward Schwerd, ir
charge OF the Idaho mining exhibit
were a few of the honors carried Of
by this productive state.
Idaho's cooperation socially hal
been just as signal as her commercial
aid. Under the able regime of Mrs
W. II. Ridenbaugh, the official host
ess, the building has been the gather
ing place OF many Of the most promi
nent people in the diplomatic and so
ciety world. Afternoon teas. dinners
receptions, dances, have been a few o
the delightful entertainments accord
ed visiting notables and visiting Idah'
people.
