election past and the election TO come.
Hence the indications are that the whole
people will be able to bury the Ratchet for
the season, not in each others skulls, as
they seemed inclined to do a few weeks
ago, but in harmonious effort to encourage
struggling industry.
THE GRAND OPENING
Of the fair is set for Wednesday, October 2,
at 10, noon The premium lists are already
out and are being rapidly distributed by the
secretary, Heber ". Wells, from whom
any one can obtain copy at any time. In
value and general arrangement and classif-
cation of premiums the lists show marked
improvement over former years, and testify
that the d. A. g. M. society, though one of
the Oldest institutions of the territory, is
nevertheless in the swim of progress and
enterprise. A hasty perusal of the sOciety's
pamphlet discloses facts of no less interest
to the stock raiser, the farmer, the
poulterer, the dairyman, the fruiterer, the
nurseryman and the manufacturer than to
the artist and the needle woman. Every
branch of home industry is here encouraged,
not perhaps by prizes of extraordinary
worth, but certainly of such value as will
in order to secure them. To afford such of

miums an idea of what is offered the follow
ing selections are given:
