We want 21 boys to sell the DAILY REPUBLICAN the week of the fair, and they must be good little hustlers, neat, clean, honest and polite.
We want them to have good lungs so they can yell, and yet be thoughtful and not annoy people who don't care to buy papers. Each boy must have some money of his own so he can buy his bundle of
papers, and all that he fails to sell, we will buy back again. He must have a book sack to carry them in so he can keep them clean.. We will fix the prices so he will make a profit on every paper he sells, and be

We want the fair to be a great big success, and if people will just read the DAILY REPUBLICAN every day they will be informed of every good feature and every plan of the board of directors of the
fair and it will be the very biggest, broadest cleanest sweep of education and advertising that eastern Idaho has ever had, and if we can make the DAILY REPUBLICAN pay its own way and not run us in debt
shall be satisfied. NOW BOYS, we can print the papers, but we want you to sell them, and we are going to give the following prizes to the newsboys who sell the most.
First Prize: $2.00. 2nd prize, $l ;50. 3rd prize, $ 1.00. 4th prize, $.50. In addition to this we will give premiums to those who fail to get any of the above prizes. Each boy who sells 50 papers
<luring the fair we will give fifty cents cash besides his other profits and his pass.
Each afternoon during the fair we will publish the names of the boys who are selling papers and how many each one has sold. And we will do another thing. Any newsboy who is rude or saucy to

requested to call at the REPUBLICAN OFFICE at 4:30 p.
All who wish to be newsboys are
without making much noise. When we think you are all in our man-with-a-pencil will talk with you about five or six minutes and let you know when to call again.

WE WANT SOME GIRLS RIGHT AWAY TOO to take orders for extra copies of the Daily to be sent out to people who do not take the weekly, and we will see you at the Republican office if
you will come as soon as you read this. We will fix it so you can make some money and help advertise Blackfoot and the fair. There is so much to be done that we want a lot of help to get this finished in the next
few days. i
On page 8 is a blank that anybody can fill out and send in to indicate whom they want copies sent to.
It is only ten days till the fair opens, and during this time we are making a special offer to our old subscribers. For each new subscription which you bring us we will credit your own subscription account
with one half of the amount of the new subserptions. This gives you a chance to win that neighbor of yours who wants to borrow or trade papers with you and give you the worst of the bargain. It pays you well for
your trouble and you can take an honest pride in boosting for the paper that boosts the whole country.
It may interest you to know that our new apparatus is arriving and being installed ready for issuing the Daily Paper, and that: The Indians will camp in the fairgrounds and have dances every day.
The Elks will have a big Day September 21st; The Black Cats are planning a big meet at the fair; The Soldiers are planning to have a military ball in the new armory; A lot of race horses are already
here in training; A carload will arrive from Boise next week; arrangements are now being made to get a lot from Logan, Ogden and Salt Lake; Philbrick and Greenwood are coming with cattle and sheep from Ameri
Falls; The Wood Live Stock company will exhibit some of the stock which made them millionaires; C. W. Rockwood of Iona, is coming with a black Califf Registered stallion, a Registered Percheron stallion and

his nursery; W. T. Harris is out collecting exhibits, so is W. T. Hawkey, W. E. Barnhart is in Salt Lake arranging for excursions and special rates by rail; In short the preparations for the fair are moving well; the men

WEATHER.
The temperature was quite variable
from day to day, but averaged about
normal for the week; frost was of gener
al occurence in northern counties on
August 31st, and in the southern part of
the s^ate on September 1st, having been
heavy in elevated districts on the latter
date. A few light showers occurred in
eastern localities, but elsewhere the
drouth was still unbroken at the close
of the week, and shortage of water is be
widespread. Continued

absence of precipitation renders the
work of checking forest fires extremely
difficult, and, over much of the state,
smoke from burning forests is plainly
noticeable.
High wind was of general occurrence
in northern and western counties on the
evening of Sunday August 27th, too late
to receive mention in the reports for last
week, owing to the fact that most of
them were mailed on or before Saturday
evening.
CROPS.
Fruit The wind storms which visit
ed many northern and western localities
on the evening of the 27th of August
prove to have been very destructive to
late fruits, blowing large quantities from
the trees and in some instances breaking
the trees themselves; the effect was
most marked in northern counties,
where in a few orchards one-half the
apples were blown off; pears and prunes
being shipped, in less quantities than
usual, but the quality is very good;
peaches are somewhat more plentiful

being marketed are of excellent

quality; some good early fall apples are
being offered; grapes generally promise
well.
Grain— Harvest is approaching com
pletion and threshing is progressing
rapidly; there is considerable shrunken
wheat, owing to excessive heat, and
there is also some smut, particularly in
heavy lodged grain, but the general
yield is above average; corn promises
well.
Grass -Saving of second crop alfalfa
is nearing completion in eastern districts
while in western valleys some third crop
is mature; the total yield of late hay will
be somewhat below average; in northern
counties baling is well advanced. Range
grass continues to fail and cattle in some
sections are being taken up and fed.
Vegetables and Melons -Cantaloups

the quantity being somewhat less than

to late garden vegetables and potato
tops in elevated districts; late potatoes
are somewhat variable in condition, but
generally promise good returns: Jhe

Julius Thatcher who was here from
West Bend Iowa visiting the Younie
families was shown the Asylum farm
and garden and a lot of the the country
on both sides of the river. He examined
the crops closely and took note of the
flow of water in the canals and ditches
everywhere, and said this is the best
watered country he had visited in the
west. He said he had often met men
seeking information about Idaho, and

Of Interest To Sheepmen.
Salt Lake City, August 18,1905.
Dr. G. E. Noble,
State Veterinarian, Idaho,
Boise, Idaho.
Dear 8ir:
I wish to express my appreciation and
that of the Bureau of Animal Industry
of the hearty co-operation by yourself
and the people of Idaho in complying
with the orders of the Sanitary Board of
your State in the general dipping of all
sheep in the spring of this year. It has
been a pleasure to assist you in this
work as there has been such willing com
pliance with said order on the part of
the Wool Growers of your State, and I
wish to emphasize the approval of the
Bureau of Animal Industry and myself
of the order just issued for a general fall
dipping. Unless such dipping is done
your people would be subject to a gen
eral spring dipping year after year,
which would be like erecting a fine house
but leaving the roof off during the win
ter and exposing the building to be in
jured by the elements.
When the flock-masters of your State
thoroughly understand that this fall
dipping (if the results are what we an
ticipate and have every reason to expect)
will do away with the necessity for a
spring dipping, I believe they will cheer
fully comply with the order. You would
then have no further use for the assist
ance of the Government employes since
the cases of infection would be so few
that a careful inspection of the sheep in
the spring and the dipping of those few
flocks which may be found infected will
be all that is necessary. After this has
been accomplished a petition, backed by
the Sanitary Board and Governor of
your State, can be presented to the Sec
retary of Agriculture, showing the State
of Idaho to be clean and asking to have
the quarantine removed therefrom,
which I will gladly advise and which I
am sure will be seconded by the Chief of
the Bureau of Animal Industry.
Under an act of Congress, approved
March 3,1906, the Secretary of Agricul
ture is given power to quarantine a
state, or prevent interstate movement
therefrom. Should the sheep in your
state be allowed to drift back into the
condition they were in last spring I
should consider it my duty to advise that
the most radical measures be adopted,
and that such restrictions be enforced as
would prevent the movement of sheep
out of the state.
I am very sure that if this order is
complied with and the work thoroughly
done Idaho will accomplish in one year
what other states have been three or
four years in Accomplishing. We learn
from practical experience many things
in regard to handling this disease. Two
of the members of the Board of Sheep
Commissioners of Wyoming recently
told me that the greatest mistake they
made was in rescinding the order for fall
dipping in the year 1904, and claimed it
had put them back at least two years in
their efforts to eradicate scab. If the
order for fall dipping is enforced I be
lieve Idaho will have the proud distinc
tion of being declared a clean state and
released from quarantine before any
other state in the quarantined district
will be so declared. It will then only be
necessary for you to protect yourselves
by quarantine regulations against the
stock from other states and all restric
of
tions, except the inspection of interstate
shipments, will be removed from Idaho.
Very respectfully,
GEO. 8. HICKOX,
Agent in Charge.

Ruel Rounds Marries.
Ruel Rounds, United States marshal
for Idaho, and Mrs. M. Ethlene Carr of
this city, were married in Portland on
August 30. Mrs. Carr's mother, who has
been living here, and other relatives were
present, Portland being the former home
of the bride.
The announcement came as a surprise
to the many friends of the contracting
parties. Few, if any, were let into the
secret prior to the departure of the
couple for Portland. Cards announcing
the interesting event have just been re
ceived here.
The bride has for some time been the
stenographer in the office of United
States Judge Beatty. She has a lovely
home in this city. Marshal Round's
home is at Idaho Falls, where he owns
one of the finest farms in the state. His
official residence, however, has been in
Boise since he was appointed to the
present position. It is likely Mr. and
Mrs. Rounds will make their home at
Idaho Falls after the marshal's term ex

THE MONTANA GIRL
Theatre Season Opens Next Week
With a flood Company
The theatre goers of, Blackfoot have a
treat in store for them in the engage
ment of Lulu Sutton, the Montana Girl,
and her .capable company, who will open
at Houck's Opera House four nights,
commencing Tuesday, Sept. 13. This is
one of the best repertoire companies
now touring the west, and comprise the
following well known people, Will N.
Roberts, Frank Lindon, Fred Lewis,
Geo. Kohler, Fred Doty, Fred Hagan,
Irene Lorton, Mrs. Fred Lewis, Eleanor
June, Frances Keeler, all clever people,
and the class of plays presented by this
sterling organization are the best that
can be procured, and that have never
been presented in the wost. This com
pany has just closed a season of twenty
eight weeks in Montana alone, playing
seven consecutive weeks at the Grand
Opera House in Butte to the largest
houses ever seen in this popular play
house for the nature of the entertain
ment. The opening play will be "The
Princess of Patches", a three act roman
tic comedy drama, dealing with southern
life, and it is one of the prettiest little
American dramas ever produced, and
the fact that it' has been the opening
play the entire season for the Sutton
company, speaks well for its merits. One
of the most unique pieces of stage busi
ness is introduced in the first act, when
Nettles, (Selma Silverthorn) makes her
entrance. The play has a strong line of
pathos and comedy running through it,
and there is not one dull moment
throughout the entire performance.

Went Home to Bluster. '
A gentleman writing for the Idaho
Falls Register for the issue of Septem
ber first over the non de plume of "Old
Timer," takes exceptions to what the
Republican said in its issue of August
25th regarding the contempt proceed
ings before Judge Stevens in which the
actiop of three of Bingham county's cit
izens were involved.
On looking into the matter further we
find that our statements of August 25th
were correct in detail, and if "Old
Timer" will come out from behind his
non de plume and talk in the open, we
think we can hand him a bunch above
the belt that will satisfy his hankerings
for a scrap or a grand stand play, which
ever it is he was looking for.
