BEAR LAKE COUNTY
FAIR SEPT. 1880

The Bear Lake county fair, to be
held at Paris on Sept 2S, 90 and 80,
is the next event of Importance for
this county. The directors have or
dered number of improvements to
be made about the grounds, includ-
ing the erection of box stalls for val
liable horses, pens for sheep and hogs
and the leveling Of the race track.
Copies Of the premium list can be se-
cured BY applying to w. r. Holmes,
secretary.
No matter what efforts the direct
ors of county fair may put forth,
it cannot be made q success without
the cooperation of the people. es-
pecially the farmers. The county
fair is distinctly farmers institu-
ton. 1t was created for the purpose
of stimulating the raising Of better
farm products, better horses, cattle,
sheep, hogs, etc. It is a practical
school for disseminating agricultural
knowledge in all of its phases, and
the farmer and his wife who attend
county fair are sure to receive real
benefits therefrom.
The success of a fair from the
standpoint Of exhibits is also up ia
the farmer. It's not necessary that
a farmer should take great variety
Of things to a fair, but take the very
best of what he has got.

NOSE MAY NOT
HAVE CLEAR SAILING

The Boise correspondent to the
Lewiston Tribune dishes up this bit
of dope in regard TO probable op-
position t o Governor Alexander's
plan of controlling the democratic
machine next year:
As proof that there are some
rumblings of opposition to the COM
plete domination of Governor Alex
ander in the councils Of the party,
insofar a. federal patronage Ii con-
cerned at least, IL Is intimated here
in the capital that there Is a combi-
nation under way between John T.
Nugent and Judge X. /. Perky,
These two men have fought each
other in recent campaigns as only
democratic chiefs know how to fight.
Judge Perky has the reputation Of
being one Of the most astute politi-
clans III the state. He has been state
chairman. AZ Nugent has also. Both
led their party to victory in this ca
pacity. They split in 1912 because
Perky was for Judson Harmon for
president first and then for Champ
Clark. Nugent was for W. J. Bryan
or the man who received Bryan's d.
X.
Now they are both outside the
breastworks and "a fellow feeling
makes them wondrous kind. They
care little SO far as state politics il
concerned, but national politics with
a democratic administration at Wash.
ington with good chances Of It's con.
tinuance. they think. for another
four years, is too big a thing for
these comparatively and undoubtedly
ambitious politicians o overlook.
The report that comes to me is to
the effect that Perky and Nugent
are to pool their strength for the
purpose ofcontrollinR federal patron.
age in Idaho. The scheme, as It il
revealed TO me. is to make Perky
state chairman and to make Nugeni
national committeeman.
Governor Alexander's plans for
the organization, SO far as they ara
known at this time are to retain j
1T. Pence as state chairman, ami
make Jerome J. Day national com
mitteeman to succeed the presenI
incumbent, Robert H. Elder o

pany, and he felt safe in saying the
same for the Burton Company. and
he was satisfied that other Star val-
ley shippers would prefer to come to
Montpelier instead of Cokeville. For
these reasons Mr.. Jensen said it be
hooves the business men of Mont
pelier to make an effort to keep the
road in . good condition the year
around.
To show what the Mutual Cream
cry company is doing to advertise
Montpelier abroad, Mr.. Jensen said
that all the cheese now made in Af-
ton is sold as the Mutual Creamery
Co.'S Montpelier Cream Cheese. "
and this cheese now finds a ready
market in all of the important towns
in the northwest, and the company
is not able to supply the demand.
Mr.. Jensen is. one Of the pioneers
in the creamery business in the west,
and he is enthusiastic in his efforts
to get the farmers interested in the
business, not only for their own
good but for the financial welfare of
the entire west. The butter and
cream produced in these high alti-
tudes cannot be excelled by any 9th
er country in the world, and If the
production was increased an hundred
fold there would still be a good mar
ket for it.
The creamery business has been a
life study for Mr.. Jensen. While a
lad in Germany he learned the ele4
mentary principles Of the business
from his father. He came to this
country In 1890, an d began his
career here as a salesman of dairy
products tor a Denver firm. In
1893 he became manager off cream
cry company at Superior, Neb.. and
in the fall of the following year he
organized the Jensen Creamery Co..
with headquarters at Beloit, Kan.
During the six years that followed
the company's business had grown to
such an extent that it operated %
plants. with Mr.. Jensen as president
and general manager.
In 1908 Mr.. Jensen sold out his
interests in Kansas and, responding
to the call of the west" he came
to Salt Lake, where he organized
the Jensen Creamery Co. The story
of the growth of this company's 's
business would form an article ot

of which he is the head viii ship OUT

ion the administration had made

third was the siezing Of Vera Cruz,

w. F. Jensen. president of the
Mutual Creamery company. wife
and sister-in-law. spent a few hours
in Montpelier last Friday. They
were returning to Salt Lake from
a motor trip to Star valley.
In conversation with the editor OF
the Examiner. Mr.. Jensen expressed
himself as being highly pleased will
the business the company is doing
in this and Star valley. but the com,
pany intends to increase the business
and with that end in view it has
several plans under way. One of
which is the distribution of several
thousand head of registered dairy
cows among the farmers Of Utah,
Idaho and Star valley. These cows
viii be purchased from the best
dairy herds in the Mississippi valley
and shipped to this section in car
load lots, and sold to the farmers on
easy terms:
One carload will be shipped tc
Montpelier, and while here last Fri
day Mr.. Jensen arranged with By
ron Nelson to handle the cows.
During his stay in Star valley Mr..
Jensen contracted for the disposal
Of carload. The price Of these
cows viii range from $40 to 500.
The object of the company in doing
this is to increase the output of but
ter fat and to give added impetus
to the dairy industry in the inter-
mountain region.
The company has also made pro.
position to the Pioneer Creamery
Co. Of Paris to take over the plant
and business and install an up-to.
date creamery and cheese plant there
If this proposition is accepted by the
Pioneer company, it will be the
means of materially increasing the
output Of cream and cheese in thil
valley.
In speaking of the wagon roac
between Montpelier and Alton, Mr.
Jensen said some definite plan should
be adopted for keeping the road ii
better condition. and he suggested
that if one good man with a team
was employed to patrol the road fol
at least eight months in each year
that better results could be secured
than in any other way. Mr.. Jensel
expressed the belief that man ant
team could be secured for 500 /
month, which would mean a yearI,
expenditure of $500. BY being con
!. stantly on the job this man coul,
easily keep the bad places in th
road repaired. In many places alonl

said the Mutual Creamery compan
would gladly contribute 300 yea
and he. was satisfied the Burton CT
would contribute that amount, whic
would leave only 5000 a year to b
raised by the business men of Alto
and Montpelier.
