STAGING GREAT
FAIR RATLEWIST0N
PLEASES LATAH VISITORS-BOYS'
AND GIRLS CLUBS WIN
MANY PRIZES

The Decentralization Tri-State
fair, which is being held on the fair
grounds at Lewiston this week, is
one of the best fairs of it's kind that
has been held at Lewiston, according
to County Agent o. S. Fletcher, who
returned to Moscow Wednesday eve
ming after spending three days at the
fair in connection with work of La
tab county boys and girls club mem
bers. The roundup seems to be the
chief entertainment attraction and
there are strong agricultural exhibits
and a number of good herds of live
stock.
The afternoon program in front OF
the grandstand consists of running
races of various classes, including
cowboy races, relay races and free
contests and other roundup features.
A real feature is the daily parade of
Nez Perce Indians in full dress. >
County Displays Good
The agricultural exhibits are made
up mostly of county displays from
Kootenai, Lewis, Idaho and Nez Perce
counties, of Idaho, and Asotin coun-
ty, Washington. In addition to these
county displays, there are a number
of individual farm displays. The pro-
ducts shown are of high quality and
artistically displayed.
The beef cattle show is the best
part of the livestock exhibit, their
being several herds of Hereford and
Shorthorn cattle on exhibition. Hogs
are not so we'll represented.
