canyon county wins
at the state fair
Though the weather was threatening
»od streets muddy from the morning
ghower, Caldwell turned out In Its us
ual enthusiastic fashion to attend the
jntermountaln Fair at Boise.
Over one hundred tickets were sold
bet, re 9:30 a. m. at the Caldwell Inter
urban depot.
S-cretary Kneedler was there to
decorate the out going citizens with
Caldwell badges which all were proud
to wear.
About fifty went on the 9:30 cars,
among them Dr. Maxey and son, Dr.
Isham and daughter, J. Walter John
son, H. W. Grant and family, T. M.
Nlchol. Editor Gipson, Mr. and Mrs
Henry Griffith, Joe WHllamson, Mr.
Hartley. Mr. Plowhead, Mayor Gowen,
R ev. Boone, H. D. Andrews, Miss Gll
gan Ivy Park, Mrs. J. W. Ross, Mrs.
Bales and Cecil Star.
At Middleton the two cars were
packed with people wearing Emmett
and Plymouth badges. Emmett made
a good showing at the fair, having
sent about one hundred by way or
Nam pa.
On the grounds no building was
more attractive than the hay and grain
bungalow. It drew and held a crowd
all day. Here is where they show you
that good gold is made of Idaho sand
mixed with water, a little brains
might be found convenient but—. It is
a good sight for new comers and a
bracer to the promoter.
The variety and quality of the grains
and vegetables in that exhibit cuts out
many an "if" In the future of Idaho.
After all the stories we heard and told
of this magic desert It gives us a new
thrill to see Kahle three feet high
and pumpkins as large as a claim
shanty. Much of the credit for that
display belongs to J. L. Crowder of
Star.
Middleton and vlnclnlty owe a great
deal to Foote and Long, who "showed"
Boise and its visitors a convincing ar
ray of fruit, vegetables and canned
goods from that section.
J. L. Philips of Middleton had alfal
fa seed on exhibition and is telling tho
old fashioned farmer from "down
East" who is shocked at the idea of
buying water for a farm, that his 36
acres of alfalfa produced In two yers
of 1908 and 1909, 475 tons of hay and
this season 23 acres cut three times
as much, and 13 acres grown for seed
will bring him about J6718.00.
Middleton exhibited one one-quart
can containing five Hungarian Plums
and a two-quart can of Lombard plums
that would be hard to 5eat any where
Also some very pretty glasses of dew
berries. E. J. Church showed some
fine potatoes and H. H. Williamson
the prize onion. Onions grown from
seed this year weighing two pounds
each and bringing $450 to the acre.
Sunflowers 16 and 18 feet high were
grown by Lloyd Waterman of Middle
ton.
Emmett went In for blue ribbons in
their grape exhibit—four entries took
four first premiums and three entries
of peaches took one first and two sec
onds.
Two entries of pears took two sec
onds and six entries of plate prunes
carried off five firsts and one second.
Emmett also took first on a crate of
prunes.
The name "Emmett" In Arkansas
Black apples with other varieties in
plates back of the letters, was a
good arrangement.
This exhibit Included some very

largest ever seen.
E. F. Atwater of Meridian made an
exhibit of honey and apiary products
that took the blue ribbons, ten in all.
Gold medals and banners showed that
he had a record in other larger falrB.
Mr. Atwater owns about 11,050 colo
nies of bees and has shipped two car
loads of honey this season. His ex
hibit occupies about 9x24 feet In the
Horticultural Building and included
all sizes of comb honey, extracted hon
ey, bees and apparatus for handling
them. A group of animal figures and
faces made up in beeswax caught the
attention of paBsers by, and the rows
of honey glasses and boxes set one to
computing the vacant space in the
çella rat home. What product is as
pure and wholesome and attractive as
honey 7
In the tent adjoining the Agricultur
al Building the Minidoka Project ex
hibited vegetables and alfalfa.
Under the same canvas Nyssa "show
ed" an exceptionally neat arrangement
of apples and garden products.
The Roswell name board made up
in corn and wheat deserves mention.
The Twin Falls exhibits of grain
in the head and in the sack were dis
tinguished by green and white ribbon
in bands and bows. If the same care
had been given to the background and
arrangement the results might have
been very effective.
The Mansville Fruit, packed by a
Hood River packer, was a delight to
everyone who is interested In "show
apples." Two blue ribbons marked
their Winter Banana and Arkansas
Blacks as winners.
W. N. Yost of Meridian had second
on Grimes Golden. Mr. W. A. George
had third on Best Display Apples, 30
boxes of each against 50 and 100 boxes
in other displays.
George's and Dorman's apples had
been at the Canyon county fair and
most of the others were freshly picked
and only once shipped. Dorman took
third on Arkansas Black pack of ap
ples, third on Grimes Golden, and sec
ond on Jonathans.
The announcement that Canyon
County had taken first for Best Coun
ty Exhibit made the Caldwell badges
palpitate with pride.
Heavier rain at Boise on Thursday
morning put the race track in rather
bad condition for the races, but they
all came off as scheduled.
The big race was a trot in harness
First was won by Daybreak, a Colora
do favorite; second by Lee Crawford
and third by Golden West.
The next was a 2:20 trot. First was
won by Geraldine; second by Dr. Wa
yo, neither coming up to past records.
Kitimat won first In the one mile
running race and Thomas Calhoun in
the 5-8 mile.
With Mrs. Jinnle L. K. Hauer as
director, the University of Idaho made
a small but creditable display of tex
tiles, the work of students In the Do
mestic Science class.
In order to make a showing at both
the Lewiston and the Boise fairs which
were in progress on the same dates,
the exhibit was divided. The universi
ty is giving a full four-year course, in
cluding the folownig subjects: Tex
tiles. including a full course In dress
making and tailoring; Household Art
Architecture, Household Accounts
Home Nursing, Invalid and Infants
Food.
This valuable course has been open
ed to ladies outside of the school and
fourteen of Boise's women have enroll
ed. Girls of school age are required
to take the regular university course
in order to receive the Domestic Sci
ence course. An Interesting feature
of the Textile Department was the fine
line of Oriental embroidery imported
by Mrs. Ross Cartaa from China and
Japan. Landscapes and animal pic
tures done in apple fibre and filmy
white pieces as delicate as frost work
done on justi cloth (pronounced
Hoose cloth), as transparent as thin
glass. The most attractive articles
in the Arts and Crafts department
were those made of sage brush—cups,
plats, gavels, pen holders, paper
knives and napkin rings—a pretty
dark mottled brown lightly polished
It is a revelation to many that sage
brush contained any fine close fibre
capable of taking a polish.
The painted china exhibit, though
larger, did not excel if it equaled
in beauty and variety, that shown at
the Caldwell fair. This is one of the
most beautiful arts known to womer
and through the instruction given free
by the American Woman's League, it it
now in reach of all.
The display of burnt wood was ar
inspiration to inthusiasts in that
branch of art. It was noticeable thai
all the ribbons were given on the un
colored pieces. This is ps It should
be—burnt work belongs among the
monochrome.
Caldwell day was an undampened
success in spite of the cold wind and
the crowd left the grounds only when
It was too dark to see more. A regu
lar Idaho hustle greeted each car that
halted at the gate.
Women with cold hands and feet bore
away advertising fans and bachelor
girls struggled In the jam to retain
their washing machine circulars.
In one of the jammed cars starting
In from the grounds a recruit fron
Germany or some where else recogniz
ed a friend among the tightly packed
passengers and with a note of con
gratulation in his voice said, "And you
are not pressed In-—I thought this
boy would be mashed into dead."
CALDWELL GIRL IN TROUBLE
George Lamfos, Greek proprietor
of a coffee house on North First ave
nue, and Miss Marie Lavern, a good
looking waitress and laundry worker
from Caldwell, where her folks live
were arrested by the pol:ce last night
for occupying the same room In an
east side lodging house. They faced
Police Judge Moyes this morning
and pleaded guilty. They were fined
$25 each, which Lamfos paid. Ac
companying the imposition of the
fine was a scorching lecture from
Judge Moyes. The girl in the case
says she came from Boise to Poca

been unable to secure employment in

ALDWELL STl'DEJiTS TO THE

Rhodes Scholarship Examination to
Be Held October 26— Qualifications
of Candidates for this Signal Honor
Character Counts as Well as
Brains.
On October 26th will occur the
Rhodes Scholarship examination at
the University. From the number of
tho*« who past this examirition and
any who have qual fied in ptcvious
years, one student will be nominated
by the University of Idaho faculty,
who will be sent next year to Oxford
College, England, for a term of three
years, receiving from the Rhodes
Scholarship fund annually fifteen
hundred dollars absolutely free.
This scholarship is by far the most
valuable one offered at the univer
sity, practically meaning that the
student who is elected receives a gift
of $4500.00 to carry on his education
the most famous university of the
wo r !d.
Five young men of Idaho who have
qualified at the state university have
thus far received the benefit of the
scholarship, receiving in total $22,500.
hese men are Lawrence Henry Gip
son of Caldwell, Carol Howe Foster
son of Caldwell, Carol Howe
of Weiser, McKeen Fitch Morrow
of Boise, George Henry Curtis of
Boise, and Tony Taylor Crooks of
Moscow. All these men have done
distinguished work while resident in
Oxford and have later acquitted
themselves splendidly in their var
ious fields in this country.
In choosing the scholar the faculty
has regard for other considerations
as well as the scholarship of the can
didate, keeping in mind the following
provisions In the will of the late Ce-i
ell Rhodes: "In the election of a stu-l
dent to a scholarship regard will b«
had to (1) his literary and scholastlo
attainments, (2) his fondness for and
success In manly outdoor sports, such
as cricket, football and the like, (3)
his qualities of manhood, truth, cour
age, devotion to duty, sympathy for
and protection of the weak, kindliness,
unselfishness and fellowship, and (4)
his exhibition during school days of
moral force of character and of In
stincts to lead and to take an Interest
In his schoolmates.
It should be understood that the ex
amination Is not competitive but sim
ply qualifying and is merely intended
to give assurance that every selected
scholar is able to pass the first exami
nation which Oxford University de
mands from all candidates for the B.
A. Degree. All scholars are excused
from any entrance test when they
come into residence at Oxford.
Candidates are examined in the fdl
lowlng subjects: Translations fro*n
Latin into English, Latin Prose Com
position, Arithmetic, Translation from
Greek Into English, Latin Grammar,
Greek Grammar and Algebra or Geom
etry. By recent provisions it Is pos
sible to postpone the examinations in
Greek until reaching Oxford, but this
is not recommended.
Candidates must be unmarried, must
be citizens of the United States, and
must not be younger than 19 nor older
than 25 years of age on October 1st of
the year in which they are elected. It
has been decided that all • scholars
sliall have reached at least the end of
their sophomore or second year work
at the University of Idaho or some
other recognised degree-granting uni
versity or college of the United State«
The examinations occur but twice
three years. After October 26th
no examinations will be held at the
university for two years.
