by everyone who attended to be
/ decided success. The good feelin,
and enthusiasm which resulted from
the two days was considered the bes
ever aroused by similar meetings il

after the first forenoon when there
was a raw east wind. But the sur
/ came out at noon and the weather
remained warm and pleasant dur

on both days was a surprise to every

and meeting places to capacity.
The Program
The first day, after a most excel
lent free dinner served to the guests
of the Corn Show, the first meeting
was held at Baardson's hall where
M. L. Wilson gave one of his won
derful talks on corn. He outlined
its possibilities in this territory and
gave the history of corn among the
Indians who lived here years ago.
His explanation of the storm paths
and the theory of wet and dry sea-
sons was an illumination and to many
gave most essential information. Mr..
Wilson was the only speaker of the
afternoon and used his time in a
most profitable manner. Many of
the visitors during the remainder of
the show continually reiterated their
delight over Mr.. Wilson's speech.
In the evening the masquerade
dance at the Luchinger hall was at
tended and enjoyed.
Second Day
On the second day every moment
was filled with some part of the pro-
gram. The judging of the fine ex-
hibit of corn and potatoes was com
pleted and the prizes awarded. The
exhibit room at the Lewiston build
ing was a great center of interest
on both days and all visitors express
ed their delight and surprise over
the fine quality of the entries.

officers were elected for the ensuing
year.
