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
Francisco, and for this reason, many
of her people are taking advantage of
the fine fall weather to take run
down for week or so for last, long
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

on. Last week, swine, sheep, and
goats have held the stage. This week
it will be the sheep shearing contest

Two distinctive features have been
manifested by Idaho in her splendid !
tion-understanding and eff
ficiency 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 Nations overlooking the
Marina, a home well-equipped and
beautifully furnished, the exhibits of
Idaho in the Palace of Mines, Agricul-
ture and Horticulture have been ex-.
cellent manifestations of the fertility
of Idaho soil and the comprehension
of Idaho agriculturists, as we'll as the
wealth that lies under the land.
