THE DISTRICT FAIR.

The browning success of Carson
year of gayety and pomp should DC
the District Fair, commencing Sep
TENDER 10Th, and continuing through
the week to October LIST.
The Fourth of July celebration
was a magnificent spread of bunting,
ceremony and program in commemo-
ration Of ,America's independence,
and when the smoke blended with
the clouds and the rich colors were
taken from their fastenings, it be-
came little speck in the memory of
man, seldom if ever to be again
awakened.
The encampment now at its height
with the steady tramp Of disciplined
troops and symmetrical marshalling of
patriotic soldiers, is sublime for the
free born to look upon, but ina few
short days the field will be swept Of
its tents, the swords and helmets
will be returned to their quarters,
the roar of cannon will have lost its
reverberations in the hills beyond,
and the boys in blue will return to
civilian life, full of pride and love
for the flag.
Such celebrations will have their
good results, but we must look well
to the future of the county we are
celebrating in.
We must call together the farmers,
the merchants, the business men and
the intellect of the county and let
them display their talents, virtues
and productions to the mass of hui
man beings moving slowly but surely
around the nucleus of civilization.
To do this thoroughly and well we
have found way through the me-
dunn Of State and District Fairs
Last year the Association shoul-
dere1 the burden of expense, and
the citizens were not called upon to
contribute to the fund.
Hundreds of people remember
what an unbounded success it was,
and everybody realizes the good it
spread throughout the District.
The richness of the soil was proven
by the exhibit of the finest fruits and
cereals grown anywhere in America.
The possibilities of irrigation and
reclamation of the desert were shown
in a thousand ways by marvellous
assortments of material from all
sections.
Products of the farm, range and
dairy were piled up in profusion
throughout the pavilion, and visitors
wondered at our resources, but yet
in their infancy.
The delicate and cultivated hand
of woman had adorned the walls with
arts and displays of tapestry, shown g
that the culture and refinement of
the Great East had sown its seed in
the rapidly advancing West.
What wonder is it that the critical |
fastener speeding through the sage
brush lands in the North of Nevada,
calls it dry country. devoid of re-
source and development.
If they were to come into the cul-
tivated belt and note the rich fields
of waving wheat, rye and corn, int
erspersed with heavily laden orch
ards and hayhelds, they would then
see the possibilities of our soil.
Esmeralda, Douglas and Ormsby
counties are in the best portion of
Nevada, and the District Fair sup
plies the proof.
Let every man, woman and child
who has anything to exhibit bring it
to the Pavilion and display 1t.
BY this method an insight into
various localities can be secured and
a standard established.
Our racetrack is the best in the
State and has Pacific Coast reputa-
ton.
The sum of Sc, 800 will be given in
purses and premiums, and special
races will in all probability be made
up during the week.
A committee of five citizens will
visit Carson business men, and the
APPEAL hopes to see each one con-
tribute his mite toward the good
cork. 1t is the best thing for us,
and no State developer should lift
finger to discourage it,
