position of a county fair for Idaho
county featured the regular weekly
luncheon of the Commercial club at
the Imperial hotel Wednesday noon.
Frank McGrane, at the conclusion Of
an informal talk In support Of the
project moved that the club give it's
Endorsement, which was done unani-
mously. Others who spoke in favor Of
the plan included County Agent Ralph
M. Pavey, w. w. Brown and A. +.
Parker
1t Is the plan to submit the after
to the county commissioners at the
July meeting of that body and ask for
support from that source. Plans are
already well formulated to construct
the necessary buildings for the housing
Of livestock and agricultural exhibits
at the new city park being completed
on north Meadow street where ample
ground space for such buildings is
available without cost.
1t has been pointed out that the coun-
ty com missioners have authority to ap-
propriate funds for the erection Of
buildings used for such purposes where
such buildings are erected upon prop
erty owned by the county and it is
the plan to transfer a portion Of the
park tract to the county. This would
give the county the ownership of that
portion of the park upon which its
exhibit halls and livestock buildings
were erected and under this arrange
ment it is thought that the project
will meet with no opposition whatever.
The annual county fair, as planned,
would be staged each autumn under the
auspices of the county farm bureau
which would insure an exhibition Of
products of every kind from all parts
Of the county and which would en-
list the support of all the citizens in
every community. The project of
county fair, properly conducted, is a
worthy one and such an institution
is needed in Idaho county.

and livestock breeder of the Fem
section, called the clubs attention to

Mr.. Nelson stated, and in the streets
nearby If sunny skies prevail. Dean

as will also other prominent speakers
on general livestock topics. Mr.. Mel
son suggested that the stores and bus
mess houses of the city close for an
hour during the early part of the
afternoon in order to permit everybody

to meet ready response from the
business ment present

hcials Of the shorthorn association in
making the first annual sale success.

proximately $50. according to Deputy
