We cannot too frequently or in too
strong terms urge the people to prepare
for the prairie fires that will soon be

we afford to lose single dollar by fire?
In some way prairie fires will get out.
Every year hundreds of thousands of dol
lars worth of property is destroyed by
them. We have no property to give to
the flames this year; therefore we would
urge protection nS,7 from this devouriDg
element. Immense amounts of hay have
been put up. In some quarters the pTai-
ries are thickly dotted with the stacks.
Straw and fodder have also been more
largely secured than usual. We venture

FLORAL HALL.

Entering this building from the
north, the first thing that greeted our
sight was the fine collection OF green
house plants. Only few pictures had
arrived. Among the rest was land
scape painting of Soden's mill, includ-
ing the iron bridge. This was painted
by little boy named Vail, living just
west OF the city. IL is a very credita-
BILE painting. Tins department con-
tains quite a number OF other in
teresting features which we have not
room now to note.
Passing down the hall we soon came
to the vegetable stands. These were
loaded with piles Of fiue Irish and
sweet potatoes, beets, onions, etc. On
ions seem to have done well this year.
There were nine different piles COM
peting for the premium. OF sweet
and Irish potatoes We have seldom seen
larger or better display. They were
solid, large and fine looking.
On the left were the fruits. Dave
VanGundy beats the crowd on peaches.
There is large display of apples,
peaches, pears, etc, by T. e. Hallberg,
y. G. White, d. VanGundy, and 9TH
ers. The fruits are smaller than usual ,
but are much better than we had eX-
pected 70 find them.
At the south end of the fruit stand
comes the preserve and jelly depart
ment. In this there Is n rich display,
including every imaginable kind of
preserve, jelly, marmaladc, etc.
Passing around to the east side we
come Immediately upon the display OF
rich looking yellow and white corn.
AS it lies there in piles it seems to give
an unqualified denial to many of the
stories of utter failure of crops which
have gone over the country. 1t is as
large rs usual and more perfect corn
we never saw. 1t would be credit to
any country in any season. Some corn
stalks stood by which must be thirteen
feet high. There were lunches of flax,
sacks of wheat, corn, oats, blue grass
seed, etc. Some OF the wheat was very
fine, the grains being very large and
plump.

n enterprise, were on hands with

FIRE. Last Wednesday morning the Hotel,
near Ophr, the property of Madame Kittler, was.
with nearly all its contents, completely destroyed
by fire. The fire was evidently the work of an
ncendary. 1t would seem that some fend has
been bent on destroying the Madame 5 property,
for twice before within few months, has the
same building been set on fire, the last time,
about ten days ago. the kitchen of the hotel was
pretty much destroyed before the flames could
be extinguished. This time the fire is supposed
to have been started in the dining room 1t was
not d scovered until the flames burst into the
bedroom of one of the girls, who, on realizing
the situation, jumped up and grabbing in her
arms, little niece who sleeping in the
same room, she rushed from the building,
screaming, '' fire. The household and boarders
were soon aroused and in the excitement came
tunbling from their rooms, as fast as was posi-
BILE, perfectly regardless of dshabille. Three
sewing machines, and two trunks constitute the
sum total saved. Even the clothing of the occu-
pants was destroyed, except what little they had
on when they got out. Mrs. Kittler. we learn,
got burned quite severely around the head face,
neck, and shoulders; with this exception, no one
was hurt. 1t is supposed the total property de-
stroyed was worth about $1,000. The building
and furniture We're insured, but in what company,

PLACER COUNTY AS a RESORT FOR
HEALTH.

The climate of California may we'll be the
boast OF her citizens. Her vast mineral and ag-
rcultural resources entitle her to the front rank
in regard to wealth and importance. Adapted.
as she is, to the growth of fruits, plants, and
cereals, grown in the tropical as well as temper
ate climates, her superior advantages are just
and reasonable claims
Her landed monopolists have materially re-
tarded the grcwth and prosperity Of The State,
by their grasping policy They are however,
at present, awakening to a better appreciation
OF policy more conducive to their own inter-
ests, as well as the general good of the State;
and are at work planning, with view OF in
augurating more liberal system, in regard to
tle sale and distribution of their lands. When
ever this is done, upon sound and practical
basis, emigration will be of more satisfactory
character; settlements will be more permanent
and prosperous; consequently the general pros
pcrlty Will be enhanced many fold.
1t Is not with view to speak disparagingy Of
the climate OF any other portion OF the State,
the writer would make these statements, but to
claim some of the more important advantages
OF the foothills of this county, i'll point of sa-
lubrlty OF climate, in confirmation of what has

section Of this county has a more equable eli
mate than many other portions of the State, be-
ing far enough below ths more elevated region
to exclude It from the storms and more rigorous
weather of the mountains, and just elevated
enough to enjoy an atmosphere of peculiar ad-
vantage over the more heated plains below.
Here the sea breezes are modified in such man
ner that it makes this section peculiarly adapted
in many respects to health giving properties
The fogs and mis.s of the sea coast having dis

Immediately noticeable upon the change. 1t is
a well-known and statistical fact that the sea
coast will not do for certain constitutions -
neither do the plains-but when we reach the
foothills, the difficulty is obvated completely
Whilst the same may be said in reference to the
more elevated portions of some of the Other
counties. Placer. at present, enjoys this supe-

IT is noticeable that very few married men, who
went to the Fair, took their wives with them.
The meaning Of this we do not know. Some
say it is an indication of hard times and others
give other reasons. 1t is certainly not n lack of
fidelity, at least it would not seem SO, from the
tender and emphatic promises made by some, tc
bo back by certain tine. One recently mar
RED gentleman before leaving, said, "wife, just
as sure as the train comes at a certain time,
will come" The train came, and about the
same tine, came telegram, conveying the
news that COW was on the track and he could
not come.
Another gentleman went without his better
half. But, after arriving, changed his notion
and sent for her
