The daily star-mirror. (Moscow, Idaho) 1911-1939, 1919-09-04

Moscow and Latah county are pos
itively assured of the best fair and
carnival ever given in the county. This
matter was 'cinched" Wednesday
when j. F. Stewart, manager, G. B.
Green, president, and L. F. Parsons,
general booster, made hurried trip
to Spokane and secured all of the
best attractions at the Spokane Inter
state fair. This means the best at
fractions ever offered to the people of
the Palouse country. When a town
the size of Moscow is able to secure
all of the best attractions at the great
Interstate fair at Spokane, with the
enormous wealth back of that institu
tion, it speaks more than volumes for
the enterprise of the men who a"a
managing Moscow's big show.
Many Free Attractions.
Some idea of the splendid program
may be obtained from the fact that the
committee has contracted to spend
more than $4,000 for free attractions
entertainments that cost the man
agement Sc, 1000 but will be free to the
people who attend the fair. It is
planned to give the people of Moscow
and Latah county the best fair, the
best entertainment features and the
best of everything, without expense
to them Spokane has some of the
best vaudeville attractions on the road
and the very cream of these were Sc
cured for Moscow's big show which
opens Tuesday, September 16 and
closes at midnight Saturday, Septem-

Some. complaint had been made be-
cause of charges for most of the en-
tertainments at the big celebration
on July 8, a, and=5, but while we are
not willing to admit these charges
were not justified and those who know
the facts say that the committee gave
more free entertainment than any
other celebration, the committee
wishes to make the people understand
that Moscow wants to please them and
will give more free entertainment this
time than has ever been given by any
fair or festival or carnival in the his
tory of the Inland Empire. The full
list of attractions will not be pub
lished. The best will be held as
pleasant surprise for the thousands
who are expected to attend.

festival be held" has been settled. 1t
