Rush for Locations.
During the last week 185 mineral
locations have been«filed for record
in the county auditor's office and
there seems to be no indications
that the rush has abated. Most of
them come from Thunder mount
ain and the Big Creek districts
where the rate of locating is as
great as at any time during the ex
citement following the original dis
covery. All this speaks well for
the camps and goes to show that
the work lieing done is showing up
ore for which people are willing to
spend their money.

partiueut has received particular
attention from all officials of the
association and it is now assured
that the exhibit will contain the
liest stock in the northwest. A
recent letter from Prof. H. T.
French of the experimental station
at the university of Idaho has sig
nified his intention of bringing
some line, pure bred shorthorn cat
tle from his own farm, besides an
exhibit of the purebred stock raised
at the experimental farm of the
state. Prof. French will act as
judge in the livestock department,
thus giving assurance of intelligent
decisions as he is considered one of
the lieet authorities 011 livestock
in the west. Wm. Dew of Lapwai
is superintendent of the livestock
department.
The judge in the horticultural
and agricultural departments will
be Mr. Van Holderbeke, state hor
ticulturist of Washington.
Van Holderbeke has written that
he will be in Lewiston for several
days before the fair to assist in ar
ranging the exhibits to the best
advantage.
The exhibits in the main build
ing will excel anything ever before
Heen in the Lewiston valley. The
season has beeu particularly favor
able for the collection of a fine dis
play Of fruits and vegetables and
the people in charge of thé work
have taken the greatest pains in the
collection of the products and the
arrangement of the products. The
exhibit prepared for Nez Perce
will in all probability be sent to the
world's lair at St. Louis either as a
separate exhibit or as a part of the
exhibit of the state. The fine col
lection of fruits and vegetables
gathered by M. J. Wessels, cprnmis
of tile world's fair, will be

ly public exhibit of this collection
that will be made before being taken
to St. Louis. The exhibit from
Asotiu county will be one of the
best ever prepared in the state of
Washington. The exhibit is being
prepared by funds and labor con
tributed by private subscription.
The county commissioners have de
clined to appropriate money to
help in the preparation of the coun
ty exhibit, the people of Clarkston

tion and have now collected an ex

Clarkston this exhibit is reported
to be exceptionaly good and high
order. The exhibit from Canyon
county, prepared by V. D. Hanna
will be of particular interest to the
people of the northern part of the
state and this portion of eastern
Washington. It is understood
that Mr. Hanna, will come to the
Lewiston fair expecting to carry
home the premium offered for the
best county exhibit but the people
preparing the exhibits in the Lewis
ton valley are of the opinion that
the products necessary to win from
this sectiou do not grow in Mr.
Hanna's part of the state.
The poultry will be of particular
interest to the admirers of pure bred
birds. From correspondence al
ready at hand it is assured that
this department will be filled and
that it will be necessary to provide
many more pens to accommodate
the large number of birds that will
be entered.

( The carnival company that will
i furnish the attaactions in the city
at night is considered the best ag
gregations of the character now
touring the west. Mr. J. E. Arnold
owner of the carnival shows, has
promised to give the Lewiston fair
visitors the liest entertainment of
the kind that has ever been given
on the western circuit. It is a
personal matter with Mr. Arnold
as his shows are only three years
I old and his future success depends
upon the impression the exhibiti
j ons make upon the people. The
carnival company contains »com

ing long distances to witness the
Indian in the superstitious war
dance of his forefathers. The as
sociation have been assured that
the dance given by the tribe at the
coming fair will surpass similar ef
forts of recent years. The Indians
now realize that the old time war
dance with the tribe traditions will
become extiuct with the present
generation, and as this realization
is passed to the old men of the tribe
the younger warriors are urged into
greater enthusiasm with the hope
that the weird customs will be per
petuated.
Thomas Kirby, superintendent
of the Nez Perce county exhibit,
has completed arrangements for a
table fruit competition between
Nez Perce, Latah and Idaho coun
ties. Each county will provide a
table of fruit, which will be main
tained in the horticultural building
at the fair. Mr. Kirby has appoin
ted the following persons to be in
charge of the respective exhibits:
Nez Perce county— J. 8. Hogue
of Gilbert and M. J. Steele of Steele
Idaho county—H. Wax and I. C.
Hatabaugh of Graugeville. Latah
county—Frank White and B. T.
Byrnes of Moscow. The competi
tion will also be open to Asotin
county.

A Disreputable and Dangerous
Traffic.
In all intelligent communities
the danger from the alum baking
powder is fully recognized and ap
preciated. No housewife who is
informed upon physiological sub
jects will knowingly permit one of
these dangerous articles to come in
contact with her food.
The harmfuluess of alum pow
ders is mostly exerted among those
who do not read, who are deceived
by the story of peddlers and others
interested iii the sales of inferior
articles, and these are the people
who cau least afford to use un
healtliful food.
The health authorities, however,
are waking up to the seriousness of
the situtatiou. Already many ar
rest« have beeu made of the vend
ers of alum baking powders. When
by convictions and heavy penal
ties the sale of these powders is
made both disreptuable and ex
pensive, it will be a blessing to the
public.
