FISH AND GAME EXHIBIT
TURNED DOWN BY BOARD
BENEFITS NOT SUFFICIENT TO
JUSTIFY cosT-TARIFF ON
LEAD AND ZINC.

The board of trade is decisively not
in favor Of making any large expendi
ture for advertising this district as a
game preserve The matter came up
at the meeting yesterday through the
report of Harry c. McAlister, chair
man of a special committee appointed
last week to make fish and game ex-
hibit at the tourist and sportsman fair
in Spokane with authority to spend not
to exceed S25 for the purpose. Mr..
McAllister reported that his investiga-
tions had convinced him that the cash
allowance would not get us to Osburn
even without the fish" He said he
had met with a group of Kellogg bust
ness men, a majority of whom were in
favor of the exhibit and had under
taken to raise $50 for the purpose He
had found that last year counties rep
resented had made elaborate exhibits
accompanied by much printed matter,
and that one or two men had been re
tanned to explain the exhibit. Under
these circumstances he had arrived at
the conclusion that this county could
not be creditably represented without
an expenditure of $500 to $500. He
said that last year Benewah county put
5000 into the collection and mainten-
ance of an exhibit and that the people
down there were so well satisfied with
the results that they are preparing to
make an even more elaborate exhibit
this year. Personally Mr. McAllister
said he was in favor of making a cred
liable exhibit from this county.
Dr. w. A. Smith pointed out the ad
of the st. Joe and lake sec
lions in attracting sportsmen. He said
that the North Fork is practically the
)nly fishing ground we have. and in
his opinion the benefits to be derived
~ Wallace would not justify the ex-
libit at the estimated cost.
Rush J. White suggested that if we
IRE to bring people here to fish, steps
hould be taken to stock the streams.
Rossi Moves to Reconsider.
With profuse apologies to his friend
IT. McAllister, and assurance that he
las moved by no personal animus
herman J. Rossi said he thought the
GARD should withdraw the S25 already
and forget it, He made
motion to that effect which was II
adopted. Mr. Rossi then
ated that in view of the explanation
the exhibit. il was his opinion that
lere would be no benefit derived from A
lie exhibit comparable with the cost
his is not a game county and he con-
nded that whatever expenditure we r
ade for advertising should be for the -
lrpose of exploiting the mineral re- n
urces of the county rather than its =,
sh and game He therefore moved .
at the board of trade decline to par o.
'ipate in the Spokane tourist and 9,
fair. and this motion was ,s
opted. -,
