To start with Indian Day this year

vices Of Ralph Dixey, the well-known
Indian leader, and Agent Bonner. Of
the Ft. Hall Reservation, to take
charge Of and stage the mammoth
production that viii entertain and
delight the visitors who attend open
ing day. All the features that go
with Wild West performances, includ-
ing roping, bull-dosging, bare back
riding, halter riding, throwing, ETC.,
with a number of new stunts by ex-
pert performers, will make the occa-
sion replete with thrilling sensations.
Every minute will witness some feat
of horsemanship or skillful rope work
Indian Day long remembered in the
County Fair annals.
Morning, afternoon and evening,
during the Fair, the large 25-piece
Municipal Band of Idaho Falls will
furnish music for the edifcatiOn Of
Fair visitors. This band is excep-
tionally good and has no superior in
the state. It will come prepared to
give an exceptionally fine program.
Their playing is snappy, and added
features will make the musical pro-
- grams rendered daily, one of the real
ly enjoyable features Of the Fair.
With the increase in dairying which
Is now beginning to attract the atten-
tion Of farmers in Southeastern Ida
ho, an exhibit Of thoroughbred cattle
is arranged for that will be a sur
prise and q delight to those interested
in improving their herds along dairy
lines Representatives of two Of the
largest herds in the state have al
ready applied for space, and so many
others are coming that it will be nec-
essary to erect q large, new barn for
the accommodation Of the dairy ex-
hibit alone. This feature will be en-
larged upon in order to present .vis-
itors to the Fair with q practical IL
lustration 'of what the. resources Of
the state in this particular really are.
It will be an eye-opener to many and
a showing which none can afford to
miss. ~

date, are showing great activity. The
space is we'll taken up and a couple
Of large tents will have to be provid-
ed to care for the largely increased
exhibits in every class that will be
