by the directors of the Southeast-,
ern Alaska Fair Association was an
nounced today Mr. Kane was man
ager of the first fair which was i
held here last year and the success
i,f the undertaking was credited large
ly to him.
Mr. Kane> election took place at
a'meeting of the directors held Tues
daoy evening At that time definite
plans for holding this year's tair.
September to 22 inclusive were
approved. The question of housing
accommodations for the exhibits,
which has caused some worry to the
directors is believed to have been
solved by the directors in an agree
ment made with a tent and awning
company for the rental of a ten 80
by 160 feet.
Give Lots of Space
Floor space last year, it was said,
was so limited as to prevent proper
display of exhibits and it was vir
tually impossible to handle the
crowds which turned out for the
fair.
Commenting on the plans for the
coming fair, Mr. Kane said: #
’’The securing of this tent will
afford us a ground floor space of
12,800 square feet, which should be
sufficient to enable us to properly
exhibit the products and other arti
cles offered for display to the best
advantage. A ground floor plan of
the size of tent has been drawn up.
allotlng the space into divisions for
farm products, household products,
such as fancy needlework, home Oook
lng, home canning, domestic science,
and manual training Space has
been set aside for merchants' booths
and concessions.
"The directors approved of the
copy for the premium list which has
been in the course of preparation
for the past week. This is now in
the hands of the printer and should
be ready for distribution to farmers
and other interested parties about
August 1st. This list Includes n
complete set of rules and regula
tlons governing renting of booths
and concessions, a list of articles
on which premiums are offered, the
number of each article which must
be exhibited, suggestions to exhibl
tors how best to prepare products
for exhibition, score card methods
by which products will he Judged,
and the amount of cash premiums
offered for the best exhibit in each
department, class and lot, in pre
paring this list we tiave followed the
most successful fair associations in
the State of Washington.
Offer Many Prizes
"This year we are offering prizes
and silver cups for the best blue
foxes which will be placed on ex
hibit, and premiums on the best
litter of nine or more 1923 puppies.
We have had assurance from several
of fox breeders that they would ex
hihit their animals We are also
offering liberal cash premiums for
the best display of chickens, ducks,
and rabbits, Mineral exhibits, dairy
products and native curios hare not
beeu forgotten In the compilation of
the list.
"The prospects of the 1923 Fair
being a big success are very bright
at the present time. The exception
ally good weather of the past few
months should be the means of
Southeastern Alaska being favored
with a bumper crop of all farm pro
ducts. Business men are taking an
active Interest In the coining Fair,
and tlie applications for concessions
space are more than three times
as numerous as last year. I,oca!
merchants are taking booth space
in greater numbers also, and we have
had a number of upplleatlons from
outside firms.
“The Fair Association will dis
tribute more than 6500 among the
exhibitors at the fair in cash prem
turns. In addition to this amount,
we are working out a list of special
premiums and sweepstake premiums.
Besides the cash premiums we shall
give each exhibitor who wins an
award, a ribbon and a certificate
stating the specific article for which
the award was made."

FLOOD DANGER SAID
TO EXIST AT HYDER
FROM JAM IN RIVER
A log jam formed in the Salmon
river In front of the town of Hybr,
threatens serious itamage to prop
erty in that town in ease of high
water, according to advices received
at the Governor's office and con
firmed by dispatches to C. W. Chea
tham, Asst. District Eingineer of
the Bureau of Public Roads from a
field engineer. The people of Hyder
have appealed to the Territory and
the Department of Interior for as
sistance.
\Last year, according to Mr. Ceath
irm, citizens of Hyder entered into
an agreement with the Bureau to
carry out co-operatively certain flood
prevention work entailing the con
struction of log jetties to straighten
lut the river channel and eliminate
flood danger to both the town and
the road built by the Bureau of
Public Roads up the river. The
Bureau, in accord with the agree
ment, built two Jetties which pro
tect the road and the upper, or
residential section, of the town.
Mr. Cheatham said that the town
tad not constructed the jetties with
the result that a jam has formed
ind high water will undoubtedly
nundate the river flat and lower
section of the community. He atfd
>d that the Bureau has no funds
ivailable for the work that is now
isked by the town.
The request will probably be tp
ren up by the Territorial Road Com
nission at a meeting today or to
norrow to see if anything can be
lone to relieve the situation.
