Plans of the Fair
The Board of Directors of the
Lincoln County Fair have gotten
down to business in good shape and
many arrangements have been com
pleted. In the neighborhood of
8600 have been raised by private
subscripton in the town of Wendell
and besides this the Village trustees
have appropriated a neat sum to
ward the event. An appropriation
from the County Commissioners
lias been asked for and the proposi
tion met with favor at the hands of
that body, although the exact
amount has not been set. This is
a County affair and will do a great
deal to advertise the county, and
the display of products and stock
that can be made will open the
eyes of most of the people here as
to what the country will produce.
It is proposed to make this Fair
a movable event and to pass it
around to different towns on differ
ent years and it is right that the
County as a whole contribute to
its support.
A commitiee on advertising has
lieen appointed consisting of
Messrs George Smith, George Hall
and Fred Clark. This committee
is getting down to work and we will
soon see the effects of their work in
the County papers and otherwise.
Honorary members of the Board
of Directors have been chosen in
each town, who will be expected
to forward the interests of the Fair
in there respective communities.
The Fair will be held on the 3rd,
4th and 5th of October. The first
day will be known as the Idaho
Irrigation Co. Project day, the sec
ond day as the Minnidoka Project
day and the third day Twin Falls
North Side and Hagarman Valley
day. It is expected that these
various communities will make a
special effort to be present and
make their respective days lively.
The place of the holding of the
1912 Fair will probably be deter
mined by the showing made at the
1911 Fair by the several towns in
the county that desire it. In de*
termining the location of the 1912
Fair, both the attendance and the
number of general premiums won
will be taken into consideration,
It has been decided to have bands
from different parts of the county
for each day. There will also be a
ball game each day between teams
from the different towns of the
county. There will be a dance the
first and last evening, and on the
second evening there will be a vau
deville play.
Mr. J. M. Staples has been elect
ed Supt. of the live stock exhibit;
A. D. Milligan, Supt. of the fruit
exhibit; II. E. Barrett, Supt. of
grain, grass and vegetable exhibit,
and E. L. Ean, Supt. of the domes
tic science department.
The following committee's have
been appoint«!:
Amusements: Joe Krivanek, Ed
Gale and Geo. Smith.
Contests: M. G. Kappel, Jas.
Wade and Wni. Davis. Mr. Davis
is to have charge of the horse races,
Mr. Kappel the base ball games,
and Mr. Wade will attend to any
other contests the committee puts
on.
The following cutting from the
Evening Capital News, shows that
the rest of the state has begun to
set up and take notice of Lincoln
County: ''Several precinct fairs are
to be held in Lincoln County before
the October fair at Boise, and the
premium exhibits from these fairs
will be shipped to the Intermountain
fair. There will be some surprises
in store for other counties from
Lincoln county this year, for the
people over there are boosters, and
a concerted effort will be made by
them to carry off first honors here
next October."
S. Tauber is backing his faith by
work. He has employed an expert
orchardist for next year, and is
going to put 85000 in buildings in
addition to what be has already.

;
There has been a great deal of
late in the papers of the county in
regard to a tendency that has existed
in the different towns of the county
to knock other towns and other
projects. It has to be admitted
that there has been more or less of
this throughout Southern Idaho,
but it is generally admitted that
this tendency is a thing greatly to
be discouraged. A knock on any
particular tract or town is a knock
on the Twin Falls country in gener
al and any advantage gain«! by
any one section of our country
more or less rebounds to the pros
perity of us all. We take a reason
able pride in the knowledge that
Wendell is as little affected that way
as are any of our sister towns and
perhaps less so. Not long since we
heard a Wendell booster talking to
a prospective land buyer. The
stranger mentioned a feature of the
Wendell country which he consider
ed a fault. The Booster suggested
that the other purchase land around
Gooding as that certain feature was
not found up there. We believe
that the spirit shown by this Wen
dell Booster is one that will win for
the entire Twin Falls Country, liet
ter and more quickly than any oth
er.
It seems now that the opening of
the Bruneau tract is an assured fact
and that work will begin upon it
immediately. It appears that the
proposition is backed by the bank
ing house of Kuhn Loeb A- Co., of
New York. These backers probab
ly control more money than any
other company in the world and
there will be no trouble whatever
with Kuhn Loeb & Co. behind the
Along with this good
proposition,
news comes word from J. Stuart
Clark that the outlook is rosy for
the Hagerman Valley and Wendell
Electric line. Mr. Clark has just
returned from the east where he
has been financing this road and
also the Boise Valley R. R. A. B.
Leach A Co., of Buffalo N. V.,
have sent their engineer here to
check up the surveys and if they
are found to be correct the road
will be built. The opening up of
the Bruneau will mean that this
road will lie extended aero:
river and give Wendell the best
the
connections with that country of
any town in Idaho and will give us
an excellent market for all produce.
Wendell citizens can make no
take in landing every enery to get
the Hagerman Valley connections
at this time.
