PENNINGTON, Sept % The fair in San
Juan county took place on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday of last week at this
place, Friday being intended to be the
principal day. Unfortunately the whole
period proved exceedingly rainy, not
only at Pennington but throughout the
whole of San Juan county. The San
Juan and Animas rose so high as not
to be fordabe, and could only be crossed
at the ferries. The fair was nevertheless
a very gratifying success. The display of
fruits and vegetables was very fine, and
among the former were not only splendid
specimens of apples, pears, peaches,
plumS, etc., but many varieties of foreign
grapes which were scarcely expected to
be so great success in this locality.
These Included the Muscatel, Black
Hamburger, Seedless, Sultana, etc.

Early on Friday the members of the G.

was made by Allen T. Bird, esq.,, on be.
half of the post, and responded to by the
governor. A procession was then
formed, the q. A. r. forming the escort
to the fair grounds.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable wealth
er large concourse of people was pres

ing the articles on exhibition, Hon. L.
r. E. Paulin introduced Governor Prince
who proceeded to make an address on
the subject of the advantages, the needs
and the future OF San Juan county. AT
the conclusion of this a general reception
took place, and the governor then pro

the vicinity.

GOVERNOR PRINCE RETURNS.

The governor arrived home last even
ing after an absence of nine DAYS on the
San } uan trip. He expresses himself as
greatly pleased with the country in the
northwest. The enormous volume of
water constantly carried by the San Juan,
Anlmas and other rivers, which is more
than sufficient for the irrigation of all the
valleys, even in the dryest seasons, struck
him as specially important. He says that
the fruit ana vegetable exhibit was fully
equal in quality to that at Albuquerque,
though OF course not so large. The alfalfa
crop is enormous, one single farmer hav-
ing 500 tons, and at least score having
over 100 tons each. The only difficulty is
In transportation. A railroad is an abso-
lutte necessity, in the near future, in order
to convey the increasing product of fruit
to market. Not half the trees are vet of
bearing age, and the present product of
100000 pounds will become 900 900 IN
a few years. The coal mines are very
extensive and in some places the veins
are fourteen feet in thickness. All these
things require railroad, and will make
one profitable when built. The people
are tull OF enterprise, as is shown in the
great results achieved in few years, and
no part of New Mexico has more GER
tain and brilliant future
The governor has now visited every
county III the territory and says that no
one can appreciate our vast area until he
attempts to visit every section. The trip
to Eddy and Roswell from Santa Fe re-
qulres over |, 800 miles of travel, and on
the Journey lust COMPLETED the governor
found that he had covered over 800 miles.

Where They are to be Located What
South Side Residents Think OF
the Distribution Of Lights.

There Is good deal OF feeling among
residents of the south side respecting the
location of street lamps. That not one OF
the forty-four street lights provided for in
the city councils memoranda of agree
ment with the electric light company goes
to the south side of the city is regarded
as decidedly unjust to class of voters
who, when the question Of city incorpor-
alton hung trembling in the balance,
worked increasingly for it's success. There
ought to be, it is claimed by citizens, at
least six street lights on the south side.
From what can be gathered of the senti-
ment of the voters it would be generally
satisfactory were these lights distributed
about as follows: One near the capitol,
