part of the insurance was in favor of
Walter McAdams, who had judg-
ment of about $500 against the prop
erty and $500 mortgage on the
place.

building, and within few minutes
the hotel was a seething furance. Mrs.

that building and $1700 on the con-
tents.

cost $1,000 when built. OF late years,
it has been used as a rooming house.

FAIR; EASY ON
STUFF
Entertainment Committee Is
Opposed to Bulldogging of
Steers and Milking Contests
Limited Amount of Bucking
and Exhibition Riding at
Show, September Is to II

The good old days are over, at
least so far as this falls fair Is
concerned. The entertainment COM
nlittee has upset the precedent of
years, and is dishing up a brand
new line of stuff for the amusement
of the 1924 fair patrons, September
Is to III, the committee declares.
No longer, or at least not this year,
will the audience be entertained for
five or ten minutes at frequent in
tervals by the thrilling spectacle of
three or four cowboys chasing some
reealcitrant but elusive cow around
the arena.
b No Bull-Dogging
.Bull-dogging and milking contests
have been wiped off the entertain
ment bill completely for this year on
the grounds of their being objection
able to so many people, passed to
others, and killing too much time in
general. This years entertainment
among the bleacher-ites of past years,
and the new committee is keeping in
mind the character of the upholster-
ing of the seats in the grandstand,
and proposes to put ON lot of enter
tainment in rapid-fire order before
thesseats ges hard. the committee am
nounces.
Exhibition Riding
Along rodeo lines there will be a
Of Nd hor
back riding, but only the champion
performers will get into the arena.
The riding will be in the nature of
an exhibition and not the long, drawn
out contest of previous years.
Judging from inquiries being re-
ceived the fair this fall will see
splendid string of race horses from
all sections of the northwest. Prac-
tically all the fairs are putting up
more liberal purses for races, and
with many Washington and Oregon
fairs called off completely this year,
owners of race horses are looking to
the Idaho fairs for their racing. The
local track will be put into the best
possible shape and a good racing
card is assured for each afternoon.
Sensational high wire acts. trapeze
acts, comedy clown numbers and a
great variety of novelties in the way
of entertainment are ON the list the
committee is consider
ing.
Admission Prices Down
While the price of wheat climbs
higher and higher, the price of at
least one thing has come down. The
directors of the county fair associa-
ton at a recent meeting chopped the
price of admission SO 1-3 percent.
This year the man at the gate will
collect so cents from his customers
instead of rs cents. Children's adj
missions, for those under II and over
S, have been reduced to % cents,
while the still younger ones will con-
tinue to pass in free. The schedule
provides an extra charge of quar-
ter for seats in the grandstand, which
IS lower than last year. Parking space
for automobiles comes at the rate of
70 cents Gar, regardless of horse
power.

POLLY BEM|S HAS BIG TIME ON
VISIT TO THE STATE CAPITAL
Idaho County Chinese Wo-
man Leaves Mountains
for Second Time

Mrs. Polly Bemis, Idaho county's
modern Rip Van Wrinkle, who last
August awoke from fifty-two years
s1umber in the mountains, and came
to Grangeyille and outside civilization
for the first time in more than a half
century, has made another thrust
into the outside world, and this time
has had her first peep at a modern
city, with paved streets, tall build
ings and street cars, for the aged
Chinese woman of Warren this week
visited Boise, the capital of Idaho.
Hibernates in Mountains
Polly was in Grangeville just
year ago, after alternating for
half century in the mountain fast
nesses of Idaho county. She was
thrilled beyond her power to des-
cribe, on the occasion of her trip here.
She was given a taste of modern life,
but she went back to her mountain
home in the old placer camp. Yet she
had seen much that was new. In
way, she realized that what she had
seen on her memorable trip to Grange
vile. was a mere glimpse of the out
side world. She desired to enlarge
her sphere, so she went to Boise. The
Statesman for Monday tells this story
of the Chinese woman's visit there
Polly Bemis, of Warren's Diggins,
Chinese woman, ~ years old, who left
her mountain home last week for the
second time in fifty-three years, went
to bed at the Idanha Sunday evening
with a badly strained neck and tired
eyes. She had seen her first street
car, her first high building, her
second movie show, and ridden in her
first elevator, all in one day. Last
summer, needing dental work badly,
she went over to Grangeville for
few days, the first time she had STIR
red from the mountain fastness OF
Warren's camp since she entered
fifty-three years before.
To Boise with Czizek
This year, needing more dental
work. she accompanied Mr.. and Mrs.
jaw Czizek down from Warren.
"Czizek eat in my boarding house
thirty-two years ago, L know MIN
long time," she said.
The reporter who went to interview
Polly Bemis at the Idanha found
tiny woman with iron gray hair, the
brightest of eyes, dressed in a blue
cotton dress, her whole appearance
scrupulously neat.
Her speech is excellent, with just
enough of the "pidgin English" to
make it fascinating. Her memory is
remarkable, particularly for dates,
and her eyes twinkle as she tells jokes
on herself, as when she spoke OF the
miners not liking the coffee she made
in camp, and the way she sllenced
them by appearing with butcher
knife and the question, "Who no ike
my coffee?'
Chinese Slave Girl
According to her story-she and
two other young Chinese girls were
enticed from their hamlet home In
1869 to Hong Kong and to America
by an American woman, who told
them she wanted them to work in the
gold camps of America, where they
could pick gold coins-from the
streets. They were taken almost di-
rectly to Florence, Idaho and Polly
tells the tragic story of their disil-
Iusionment.
