Nu1lpa, sept. zl.~-l Oudy Ir1arheu
the close of the seventh annual harvest
festival of this city, the most highly
successful of all the festivals which
have been held under the auspices of
the festival association. Never before
have the farm and horticultural ex-
hibits equaled those of this year and
that the event of this year will prove
highly beneficial to both this city and
the surrounding communities par
ticipating in the exhibit of their prod
ucts is very generally conceded, for
they were of such character as to
prominently emphasize the wonderful
adaptability of this section to the pro-
duction of all kinds of farm products
and fruits, as well as to the livestock
industry which has assumed vast pro-
portions and which is being conducted
along such highly progressive lines as
to give the Immediately tributary com
munities extensive favorable publicity.
II has been a great event for this
city, and che very successful manner in
which it has been conducted reflects
the fullest measure of credit upon all
who were in any measure connected
with its management.

The festival has been attended by
thousands of people from all sections
of this county and adjacent counties,
as well as by many people from other
states, and by all the city has been
highly praised as an up-to-date live
city which keeps well to the front in
the march of progress.
Yesterday was Boise Day." and roy
ally did the citizens of the capital city
rally to the support of the citizens of
this city, in making the day one of
import. Approximately 1900 citizens
arrived from Boise early in the even
Ing on special cars or in their auto
mobiles and were given the glad
hand" by the citizens of this CITY, Pres
ident JOY of the Boise Commercial
club and Byron Hyatt, it's secretary,
were the leading spirits among the
many citizens who came from the cap
ital city to cooperate with the citi-
zens of this city in making the day set
aside for them a notable one, and It
may be said that the net result of the
hearty cooperation given by Boise
through it's Commercial club is to
strongly cement the friendly sentiment
which now prevails between the two
cities.
FoE THE BOISE VALLEY.
The upbuilding of the Boise valley"
Is the one idea which now dominates
all the interurban cities and towns
and in a very laudable manner are
they uniting their efforts to give this
idea practical application. Praise for
Bosses course by business men of this
city Is highly indicative of the desir-
able spirit which exists between that
city and this. Too great praise can
not be given the wonderful exhibits
from the neighboring communities
The superiority of the various exhib-
Its in the agricultural and horticultural
departments over those often seen at
fairs proclaims the adjacent eommuni-
ties as being comparable to the most
productive in the Pacific northwest
and can but prove strong factors for
continued progress through the pub
ticity which has been secured for them
through the exhibits of their products
The corn show evidenced the great
adaptability of this section to the
growth of that product. In fact 1t

corn exhibits would have excited the
fullest measure of admiration in Iowa,
Illinois and Kansas.
The featuring part of today's pro-
gram was the mammoth cattle parade
which occurred this morning. In it
was a vast number Of the finest pure
bred dairy and beef cattle of the best

bred hogs were also in evidence and
through their display was strongly
reflected the rapid progress which has
been made in the adjacent territory

last few years.
The cattle and hogs were judged to-
day and their premium awards will be
announced tomorrow. Tomorrow the
great sale of purebred and thorough
bred livestock which has been so ex-
tensively advertised will occur and will
