The meeting held at the court house Tuesday evening in the in terests ot the irrigation fair was not as largely attended as the object demanded, yet those present dis played much interest and consider able enthusiasm." E. B. Warner acted as chairman of the, meeting and Frank Edmonds secretary. W. I. Park, who was suddenly called to Omaha, submitted through E. F. Seeberger, a letter to. the meeting, in which he spoke of the magnitude of the fair, the benefits which would accrue and insisted that in order to male the event a success the hearty co-operation and assistance of every citizen was neccessary. Many excellent thoughts were presented in the let ter, and on motion it was ordered printed in the city papers. The letter, however, was returned to Mr. Park who will consider the ad visability of giving it publicity llirnngh. thp Inrnl prPRg- , . Treasurer McDonald, of the fair association, recommended that committees on finance, entertain ment and advertising be appointed by the meeting, and that such com mittees co-operate with the board of managers. This recommenda tion was accepted in the form of a motion by T. C. Patterson that the chair appoint a committee of fifteen, which was unanimously carried. The chairman said he would take time to select the members of the committee. Brief reports of the progress of the fair were made by the officers and others. Secretary Seeberger had received a letter from E. L. Lomax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, asking for in formation as to the magnitude of the fair. This is desired so that official may decide as to the amount of advertising matter the U. P. company will be justified in issu ing. The company will do much toward advertising the fair, not only in Nebraska, but in Iowa, Il linois and other states. Chairman Warner, who is a mem ber of the committee appointed to solicit funds, stated that so far $1,700 had been subscribed. This does not include the appropriation made by the county commissioners. Supt. Dillard stated that the build ing formerly occupied by the electric company had been purchased, and that it would be moved to the fair grounds and used as an exhibition hall in conjunction with the other buildiugs. He had received two bids for removing the building. Mr. Bobbitt thought a sufficient number of teams and men could be secured to move the building without cost to the fair association. A. D. Orr suggested that each traveling man visiting the city be solicited for small donations and that wholesale houses having cus tomers in North Platte also be so licited. It was argued that the fair would, largely increase the trade of the wholesale houses in this im mediate sectioq. Mr. Orr's sugges tion, was well received, and the local merchants will endeavor to corall a number of dollars for the fair through this means. During the evening short ad dresses were made by C. F. Iddings, M. C. Harrington, T. C. Patterson and others, all of whom expressed . uwiit iu &cc cue xair a success, ana regretted that the nancial condition of the business men was such as prohibit more generous contributions. The committee of fifteen will hold their first meeting this evenin 10- fc- the citizens' Committee. At a mass meeting of the citizens of North Platte, held at the court house on Tuesday ejvening July 7, the chairman was authorized to ap point a citizens' cohimittee of iif teen to act with the officers of the Ne braska Irrigation Fiir association, in making the coming fair a grand success, and a credit to the city. therefore appoint the following gentlemen as a committee, and re- quest them to meet with the citi zens andofficers ofthefair associa tion, on Friday evening, July 10, at 8 o'clock, at the court house: John Bratt, Charles" M&Donald, H.
