bigger and brighter every day. Coun-
~ fair roundup, and carnival COM
mittees are promising three days at
traction this year that will rival any
other shown In the southern part of
the state. The farmers institute Is ex-
peced to be big drawing card and
the sports committee Is nearly ready
to announce that an areoplane will be
here for flights during the fair Final
terms have not yet been reached but
as the committee is offering tie same
inducements that are being offered at
Boise and other sections OF the state
II Is likely that the flyer will be here
for daily exhibitions. Two thousand
dollars has been raised by the com
mittee for cash prizes on exhibits and
sports and the stimulation It "a giving
the farmers and sportsmen OF tho
county Ia becoming evident to great
er extent every day. The dry farmers
In particular are entering exhibits In
grains and grasses that will make this
branch of the display. so the promot-
ers say, unequaled In the state. The
wheat Is of unusually good quality this
year, better than last. and the prize
lists offer the farmer greater induce
ments to exhibit his products c. III.
Terrence has been busy for the past
three weeks. collecting samples for
the agricultural display and prmises
a surprise In the way of variety and
quantity. Arbon valley. Pleasant val
ley, Rockland, Landing and the irrigat-
ed tracts are well represented In grass
and grain exhibits and there stiIl re-.
mains six weeks In which to gather
specimens for exhibit purposes. There
is not very favorable outlook for
Vegetable exhibits OF unusual quality
this season according to Mr.. Terrence
who has not attempted as yet to feat
ure that branch of display. He will
walt several weeks until the vegetables
and fruits have gained their maximum
growth before gathering them. There
are many good yields among the ir-
rigated farmers but they will probably
be classified separately from dry farm
products.
The Fair Association IL better
equipped to pay it's running expenses
this year than ever before. The grand
stand has been enlarged to seat. with
the bleachers, about six thousand peo-
pie. The association believes this viii
