Show slHH B The Cache County Fair which drew PH to n close Thursday night, Is worthy to rnnk among the best exhibit? of PjB tho kind to be found anywhere In BBS 1 tlic west todny Visitors picscnt BBBJ who had traveled extensively thri'igh BBJE t out tho Inter-Mountnln country, were K I load In their prnlse3 of tho vn'loui BBBj( exhibition features, ns well nn tbr R : splendid entertainment provided frr Hv " ' i be spectators. Regarding tli f lnt- H; tor fenture it enn truthfully bo said BBBfc ! tbnt It wns nrranged upon a scale BBBJ thnt would havo reflected credit on H, many of tho STATE Fairs thnt nre R ( ' held throughout the west. The splen- j did arrangements of the buildings H I j ' ' and the stalls, ns well ns tho gener- B j f j nl plnn of the grounds elicited much B ' I commendntlon from nil. Altogether BBBJ it wns nn exhibition of which Lognn BBJ nnd the entire Cncho Valley can well BBBJ be proud. BJ While reflecting upon this ns n Bftpjf i whole, however, ono cannot help no- BBJ tlclng thnt the major portion of the J responsibility of this splendid nccum- J illation devolved upon tho shoulders BBJ of a very few. President Charles BftpJ M. Harris, George C. Dunbar, Secrc- BftpJ tnry Hovey nnd the members of the BBJ i County Fnlr committee linvo carried H the burden of the labor. Atid while BftpJ it Is true thnt through their efforts J tho Fnlr has been mndo n success, BftpJ it Is yet n matter of regret thnt such BftpJ i loyal, earnest fellows cannot have BftfJ better support from the people of BBI the valley. Notwithstanding the fnct H" ' thnt locnl committees had been np- J -j pointed In each community to boost H t the Fnlr; notwithstnndlng further H I i thnt ono of tho very best kind of H booster entertainments had been pio- H y. , vided by tho Fnlr committee In every BBJ community, nnd thnt tho people by BftpJ a unnnlmous voto had pledged them BftpJ selves to do nil In their power to- H' wnrd the upbuilding of tho Fnlr, the BftpJ J fnct still remnlns that upon the fore- BBYJ noon or tho second day of tho cxhlb- BftpJ it, the display In farm products wns BH of a nnturo to put any Cncho Vullp Htl nml to nctual shnme.

B '' When n few ot our citizens have been B h0 cnr,IL'sl fo1' tlll uplift of the val- I ley, ns to provide such n splendid Hr exhibition, both entertaining nnd edit- r cntlounl ns well as prolltnble, why cannot the rest of us respond with j' nt 'cast a small portion of a few of j- I tllu Kood things grown In our gar- I dens?
