LAYING PLANS
FOR FALL FAIR
IMPROVEMENTS OF THE FAIR
GROUNDS WAS THE FIRST STEP
in THE ACTIVITIES
Premium List Now Being Turned Out
Adjustment Attractions VIII be
in Charge of f. C. MCGOWAN

The plans for the approaching fall
fair to be held in Moscow, September
21-25 are being rapidly matured and
active preparations are being made tc
give to the people of Latah county one
! of the best exhibitions in the history
of the association. One of the first
steps taken was in clearing the fair
| grounds of weeds and rubbish and a
force of men are now at work on the
grounds.
The fair directors, at meeting held
last night, determined if possible to
have constructed the present year an
addition to the grandstand. 1t is
planned to build As feet on the east
end of the stand thus making the seat
ing capacity 1900. This improvement, if
made, will give ample room for the
crowds which yearly during fair week
have overfiowed the stand.
The directors last night announced
that the data for the premium list was
practically completed and the material
indicates that the premiums will be
more extended and diversified than in
past years. The board authorized the
publication of the premium list by the
Star-Mirror and the work will be
rushed to completion as fast as the
copy is finally prepared. Secretary
Tenwick announces that the premium
list will be sent broadcast through the
county and any mail applications for
same will receive attention just as
soon as the lists are available.
The association has placed the
features in the hands of F.
c. MCGOWAN and he will endeavor to
furnish the association with the most
attractions that are posi-
BILE to secure.

Bose Statesman: Senator Borat
spoke commendatory of the selection
of Mr.. Evans, saying he had known OF
him for a number of years and wit
messed his work as chairman of the
county central committee in his own
county in 1912. He is a gentleman OF
courtesy and kindness, said the SEN
ator, but nevertheless of firm and de-
termined purpose and he had one of
the best organizations in 1912 that
there was in the state.
The senator congratulated the COM
mittee on the harmonious spirit in
which they met.
DeprecateS Personalities

ton in this state" continued the SEN
ator, Il want to make a suggestion.
l regret to see a tendency in our poll
tics toward personal abuse and the
disposition to fight out issues of great
concern to the people purely upon
terested in questions in politics. The
newspapers and the magazines go to

life is constantly surprised at the able
and exceptional way in which men in
the most ordinary walks of life dis
cuss these public questions. The high

Much has been said of late about
Governor Alexander going about over
the state, discussing these matters be-
fore the people. The people are not
averse to hearing their governor, who
ever he may be-, and it is not just
subject of criticism that the chief
of the state discusses these
matters before the people. The thing |
for us to do in order to insure success !
IS to carry our policies direct to the
people, discuss them with them, and
n that way meet the issues presented

BREAK in RELATIONS NOT POSSI-

Asked whether they did not consid-
er break in relations between the
two governments possible, those best
posted said they didn't think so. Com
ment in Washington is to the effect
that while the note makes counter pro-
posals, that they amount to no con-
cessions, since Germany maintains that
Americans are safe on neutral ships
but implies they are safe on no others.
There is no evidence that Germany
purposes reparation for the death of

fortunate in having among the candi-
dates one so well fitted as Miss May

devoted to educational work in this

Local Teams
Win Games
Defeat Boyne City Twice Fri
day Night at Basketball.

The basketball teams of the high
school won two games at the local
gymnasium when they played the boys
and girls team of the Boyne City high
school. The local girls completely out
classed Boyne City, the ball being in
their possession most of the time and
they were able to score almost at will.
Vera Mcmillan, right forward for East
Jordan, scored 16 points and the final
score of the game was 26 to for the
local team.
The boys game was fast and they
fought hard from the first whistle. The
teams played for eight minutes before
point was made by either side. The
Boyne City team showed lack of prac-
tice and were somewhat handicapped
by playing on much smaller floor than
they are used to. The local team put
up the best game of the season and
excelled In both team work and indivi-
dual play. Several long distance field
goals by Milford were features of the
game and Miles showed great improve
ment in three throws, scoring nine out
of fifteen. The team work of the locals
was greatly strengthened by the play
ing of Valleau in the left guard position.
The final score stood 81 to 10 in favor
of the home team.
Following is the lineup of the local
team: R. F., Milford L. F., Miles; c.,
Roy; X. G., V. Cross; l.. g., Valleau.
Girls team: r. F., E. Mcmillan; l.. F.,
V. Mcmillan; r. c., Eunice Carr; j. c.,
X. Malpass; L. g., G. Malpass; R. g.,
F. Warden.
A large crowd of fans from Boyne
City accompanied their teams and the
attendance at the game was the largest
of the season. The return game will
be played at Boyne City on March 26th.
