A SPLENDID PRODUCTION,

The Arid Number of the Idaho
Daily Statesman Is In our opinion the
greatest paper that office has evel
printed In It's more than fifty years
Of usefulness to the State OF Idaho
a1d Of helpfulness to large section
Of the Northwest. The entire sixty.
four pages. printed In five sections,
filed with valuable information, elab.
orateiy Illustrated and handsomely
printed, is from the printers point Of
Wow as nearly perfect as could be
desired. The compilation OF facts COW
eriRg the wonderful progress made
In the past. instead Of columns
Of ffattering prophesies for the
future. should be Of inestimable value
to the State. as men are becoming
more and more inclined to seek prov
On profitable fields for their oper-
ations and investments.
Idaho has been sadly neglectful of
any united system of giving vide
spread publicity to the wonderful re-
sources and splendid possibilities OIL
The state for two or three years
past. as result Of which our popu-
iation and perhaps every branch OF :
Industry has been deprived of those
elements that go far towards making
Tor rapid growth and general ex-
pansion.
Now would seem to be good time
and the splendid effort OF the old
Idaho Statesman at the beginning Of
1915. the signal for renewal of ac-
ttvity In making known why more
people should become homeseekers
and investors in Idaho. II they can
b had. thousands Of copies Of the
Arid Number should be purchased
b. commercial clubs and other pub
licity organizations and circulated
throughout tho country.

AS will be noticed by the ".
II. Peck Co. announcement or
the back page Of this issue, this
company has decided to go out
of business in Ekalaka. In speak
ing with the manager of this
popular store, Mr.. Peck said,
I'VE are sorry that conditions
are forcing us to take this step,
and there is but one way for us
to save ourselves and that is to
close out. We are going to sell
everything in the store without
regard as to its value, the fixtures
included and if possible the build
ings and real estate. This is not
just a scare sa le' to clean W
old stock of goods, but a genuine
closing out sale. A recent ad-
vance of 10 per cent in our instr
ance rates has forced US to quit
and we're going to quit. -

County Fair Progressing

Everything is getting along
nicely with the arrangements for
the coming Fallon County Fair
to be held on Sept. 1920. Super
lntendent VIM. Gerner of the
agricultural department reports
a lively interest being taken in
all parts of the county for this
years exhibit. Mr.. Gerner has
been in nearly every part of the
county boosting the fair, espec-
tally the livestock and agriculture
al part and finds that much en-
thuslasm prevails. In talking
with the program committee we
learn that many new sporting
events are to be added before
the opening day. 1t has been
decided to enter a ladies relay
race upon the program with a
good purse. There will also be a
Shetland pony race between the
ponies to be given away in the
Eagle contest. The race track
has been put in fine condition
and repairs have been made on
the fair ground buildings. While
much is yet to be done to COM
plete all arrangements for the
fair all committees are busy and
everything will be in readiness
by the opening day.

Grants Dance Big Success

No matter whether it's a pub
lie auction sale, a French inspec-
tion. an Italian rejection or a
common horse race, whenever
Jess Grant announces that some
thing is going to be pulled off,
the crowd begins to gather.
While Jess is not very strong for
the dancing game he took one
long chance u, accommodating his
neighbors and friends last Satur-
day evening with barn dance
at his :anch north of town, and
the result is known to some five
hundred people who attended.
The lowest count made of the
autos there was 12O and several
claimed the mum ber at 128.
These, along with many wagons,
buggies and saddle horses. brot
a big enough crowd that outside
visitors were inclined to believe
that a mobilization of Fallon
County residents had been called.
Elliott's orchestra of Ekalaka
assisted by W. Ped Akers of Will
lard furnished the music and a
big time was had. At midnight
a big luncb was enjoyed by ev-
eryone and about daybreak the
dance ended. Jess friends are
wondering what he is going to
do next, but it's dollars to dough-
nuts that this years fair will not
find him lacking with something
new.
