T= 4# 5^ ajB # SjK ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^The Idaho Republican fair. The premium* this year are, in the most eases, three times ns I a rtf e as the first year's premiums, and twice a large as those of a year ago, and com­part very favorably .with the premiums of the state fair at Boise.

To assume that a fair would be thing without a racing program is simply idiotic.that Pocatello would have come with a special train and the crowd that turned out ou July 35th to anything but a good racing program? Cut out the ing from the association meeting and the gate receipts would only pay the gatekeepers salary. Besides this, the racing feature is bringing better horses into the country. The fellow who knocks the racing feature of the fair should be made to drive over these dusty roads the rest of his natural life with a mile an hour team.

As to the article being heavily

padded, if we had not had some

padding to goffer—some sugges­

tions and warnings for considera­

tion, we should have held

peace. Bestowing better premi­

ums on the “apple and pumpkin,”

or directing more attention to

then! through the press is precise­

ly what this locality needs to make

the fait* and many other things

prosper. Up to the present time,

within a short time of the fair,

representative farmers are express­

ing indifference about bringing

products to the fair, because, as

they say, no product of the soil,

no matter how staple a crop it is,

has been given a premium suffic­

iently valuable to waken an inter­

est among competitors. The man­

agement of the fair has a very dif­

ficult task to perform in this

matter because there is such a

great diversity of products to be

considered, and this makes it all

the more necessary that the press

use its influence to direct attention

to our resources and thus aid the

work. The press has some duties

to perform in awakening interest

in the fair, and it is shirking its

duty if it remains silent. Thk

Republican did not suggest omit-

ing the race program as the Dem­

ocrat intimated that it did, but

suggested “that care be exercised

to secure the co-operation of those

who are engaged in agricultural

pursuits;” and this suggestion was

intended for press representatives

as well as for officers of the fair.

Had the suggestion been taken

kindly by our contemporary, and

"acted upon in the spirit of fairness

with the good of the community

in view, had he not arraigned us

unfairly and added ridicule to mis­

leading statements, we could liaye

refrained from asking what the

paper around the corner has done

to arouse interest in the planting

of better seeds and ciops, the up­

building of public institutions and

the cultivation of the spirit of

progress.
