Show CASH PREMIUMS AT fOUR STATE f ASK Larger Cash Prizes Offered at Ogden Than at Other Western Fairs Manager Rowe -Surprised When He Reviews Premium Lists Sent Out by Other States This Year to Exceed All Others. The Idaho State Fair Prem,im Book has just been reeehed at this 1 ofllco, and the cash prizes offered by j the state of Idaho for livestock, sheep, poultry and other exhibits are from o0 to 50 per cent less than are offered by the Four-State fair at Ogden, Dr. Rowe was seen this morning and shown the Idaho State fair premium pre-mium list, and said that he had no idea that he had made the cash awards larger than those of the state fairs' of the west; that in making out the premium list for the Four-Stale fair, he was guided by the Interstate fair of Denver. The cash prizes this year are the largest In the history of Ogden fairs. Last year only medals v ere given for live stock premiums, except in special cases, but this year the cash prizes for horses, for each age. run from $20 for first prize down to $lu and -$f for the second prize. In poultry the Idaho fair offers only one prize; 50 cents for the best hen or cock, while the Four-State jfalr offers of-fers for each breed two prizes first and second $2 and $1, while for pens Idaho offers $2 and the Ogden fair $3. and so on the whole lit Is in favor of the Ogden fair. There can be no complaint on tbe Ogden premium list this year. |
