THE DISTRICT FAIR.

The proof of the pudding IS
mainly in the eating thereof.
The District Fair managers are
paying of the premiums, on exhib-
its in cash, the full State Fair
rates.
1t was the general impression
that the premiums here would be
about so per cent of the State Fair
rates.
Our District is now the most
solid financially in the State. and
il there is not rush for premi-
INNS and big competition next year
it will be strange.
The men who have managed
the District Fair have been sub
iectei to considerable criticism
and not little abuse, but they
have put the Society on its feet
and deserve full credit for their

Here is another industry for Ne

Suppose we could raise and sell

would mean at least one million

But now Nevada spends about
that amount purchasing pork from
