A Large Attendance Promised
The largest attendance of people
that ever congregated in this part
of the state is assured for the Fair.
The entire county has gotten to
gether with a unity and generosity
that will make much for its reputa
tion. Never Itefore has such a spirit
of unselfishness been exemplified in
an undertaking of this kind,
begin with, Wendell announced its
purpose to put on the Fair this year
and asked thé support of the other
towns of the county, and expressed
its intention to help some other
town next year. The citizens of
the entire county took the proposi
tion at its full value, and responded
with a spirit that lias astonished the
local management. In fact the
original movers of the event with
difficulty recognize in the stupen
dous affair that is now promised,
the small local exposition that was
at first promised. Originally it was
intended that about $500.00 would
be put up in premiums; but devel
opments have gone on so rapidly
that now $'2,500.00 will be given
away in prizes. The present pros
pect for the Fair w well sized up in
the expression of a county official
when he said that "it looked like it
was going to he a national event."
The railroads, not slow to grasp
the situation, have responded to the
demands for transportation from all
•over the county and will operate
sufficient trains to carry the entire
county to Wendell. The O. S. L.
will run specials from Richfield on
the norjh, via Shoshone and Bliss,
and another from Minidoka on the
east, via Rupert, to Wendell every
day of the Fair, and the Idaho
Southern will run a special down
in the morning and back to Gooding
at midnight. This service will en
able every citizen of the county to
attend the Fair. The O. S. L. will
also run a special from Buhl via
Twin Falls and Rupert on the last
day of the Fair to enable the people
on the South Side to come over and
To
get acquainted with their neighbors.
All the hig men of the state will
be here. Senator Borah and Gov.
Hawley will make addresses. Farm
and soil experts from the State Uni
versity will gicoeducational lectures.
Five different county hands will
furnish the music for the occasion
and keep things moving all the time.
P. The public schools of the county
will adjourn fur the second day and
the pupils will come in a body,
wearing badges denoting the school
from which they come. It is the in
tention to make the second day
one of education. Some of the best
racehorses in Idaho will he here to
compete for the purses that have
been hung up. A track meet for
the different high schools has been
staged. Three base hall games
have been arranged to decide the
amateur championship of Southern
Idaho. The agriculture, horticul
ture and live stock exhibits at this
time promise to be about five times
tile size that was originally intend
ed.' Tlfe United States government
will make a fine exhibit from its
experimental station. This will be
tbe same exhibit that will lie taken
to the Inter-Mountain Fair at Boise
the week later. The State Univer
sity will astonish some of our visi
tors with the extent of the display
they will nave hero. The North
Side Land & Water Co. have been
working on an exhibit all summer,
which may he seen at the Lincoln
County Fair before it is transported
t<> the Eastern Land shows. The
amount of thoroughbred live stock
that is coming in, is surpassing the
most extravagant dreams of the
promoters of the Fair. Dances, in
the evenings, "Hines, the Man of
Magic," "The Alfalfa Carnival,
street parades, tug of war contests
between lodges, and many minor
events will keep things going all the
time.
This Fair furnishes the best
opportunity ever presented to put
Lincoln county on the map," and
every citizen of the county owes it
to himself and to the county at
large to attend this Fair and give it
his active support.

ORCHARD GRASS AND^ALFALFA
Mr. Frank Millsaps, who has been
for sometime extensively engaged
in the dairy business at Shoshone,
gives the Journal of that place some
information regarding the cultiva
tion of alfalfa that might lie of in
terest to the farmers of the entire
In answer to an inquiry,
country.
Mr. Millsaps stated that his alfalfa
fields this year will average seven
or eight tons per acre for three cut
tings, hut he has one field of eight
acres that is good for ten tons per
acre. This is alfalfa mixed with
orchard grass.
Mr. Millsaps expresses the belief
that any of the farmers of Lincoln
county can raise ten tons of alfalfa
and orchard grass per acre as an
average crop, providing they give it
proper cultivation and attention.
His theory in regard to orchard
grass is that it fills up the vacant
spaces between the alfalfa spools and
practically adds that much to the
hay yield for Ihe season, and that
it comes on in just about equal
growth with the alfalfa so that it
does not disturb the cutting time in
the least.
Neighborhood Notes
Harry Campbell, Engineer on the Idaho
Southern, lias Ihvii routine«I to Ina home

for the past
poisoning, Mr. CampU'll in some man
ner having injured one of his legs. J.
K. Folsom, the regular fireman is run

"So great is tbe demand for assistance
in the shipping amt pa-king of prunes at
Fayette that the high school of that
city will be closed for a week in order
that the students may help with the
work," said J. V. McPherson, state hor
ticultural inspector to a Statesman re
|R«rter after a business trip to Payette
and Caldwell.
Senator Fred \V. Gooding of Shoshone
lias been elected president of the West
ern Woolgrowers Warehouse Association,
the headquarters of which are in Chicago,
and most, if not all, of SenatorGooding's
time will hereafter lie spent in Chicago.
A salary of $15,000, with an allowance of
$ 5,000 a year for traveling and other ex
penses, goes with the position.—Good
ing Herald.
M. A. Gill lias bis honey crop about
harvested and expe-ts to ship a 10,000
car to Cincinnatti on the second of Oc
tober. Tills shipment will lie the largest
single consignment of honey made from
Idaho this season. The price received
was 12 cents per pound f. o. b,
Mr. Gill is an expert in the bee business
ami has made a success in this Valley,
He claims that Hagerman is the best
place for the Itee business he lias ever
been in and that the honey lias a flavor
peculiarly its own, which makes the hon
ey raised here in demand all the time.—
Hagerman Sun.
This section of Idaho is bound to l«c a
great bee country. The experience of
Frank Gwin of Shoshone is abondant
evidence of- that statement,
man on the scene is Herbert Meyer, a
merchant of Gooding, who started last
spring with seven stands of bees,
has already sold much of his honey and
with what he has on hand makes him
an income of about $75.00 for tbe Seven
stands or a trifle less than $11.00 |ier
hive for honey alone. Mr. Meyer will
probably continue in the bee business
ami enlarge bis output.—Shoshone Jour
nal.
Hints.
The new
He
Bond Voted
The jieople of Wendell again
came to the front at the time of
need, and by an overwhelming vote
made it known that they desired
the work on the school building to
go on to completion. This assures
tbe district of one of the liest and
most up-to-date school houses in
Lincoln County.
Twin Falls Will Help Hig Fair.
Twin Falls is falling into line for
the Lincoln county Fair, Reprc
sentatives of the County Pair Asso
ciation visited the towns in the sur
rounding country last week, receiv
ing help and encouragement every
where, and wound up by capturing
Twin Falls with a bag full of en
thusiasm.
Tbe Commercial club in Twin
Falls secured the promise of a spec
ial train to carry the crowds to the
fair on the day of the fifth. The
special, which will run in as many
sections as is necessary to edrry the
people, will leave Buhl early in the
morning. Buhl will contribute a
timing of enthusiastic irrigationists,
and Twin Falls lias promised to fill
one entire train on the fifth.
Report and Ileyburn, and the
people from the Minidoka tract will
come over early in the week. They
will make their rus!) on the second
day of the fair, and promise to
make a showing in products and
people equal to that made by Good
ing.
The merchants of Goutling arc
busy at work maturing plans for
their part of the Big Fair, and* the
evidences are that the display from
this community will Ih; a lit com
mentary on the worth of the soil,
sunshine and water of the'country

Never liefore has the whole coun
ty taken to a proposition as it has
this year. Heretofore the forward
steps have been taken by men who
had lahd for sale. Actuated by
greed and the desire hi fill their
own purses, they spoke illy of the
communities in which they djd not
happen to own land. Peculiarly
enough, they enlisted the support

That's the spirit. And that is the
