and orchards irrigated, and fruit picked
and boxes packed for market by the very
men whose purses are enriched by the
price, paid for the fruit by the consumers.
1t is this phase of citrus culture peculiar
to Southern California which is develop
ing here circling chain of communities
of the highest order of civilization.
The esthetic draperies of the building,
the gorgeous display of many colored
lights cleaning from their green and
golden settings, the beautiful and unique
with the choice music furnished here
from day to day are but sensuous things
to please the eye and ear, but the under
lying principle of this display of fruit, the
one thing which shall govern the judges
in all their awards and the special feature
which we expect to advertise to the world,
is that this is an exhibition, above all else,
of quality.
We make the proud boast that within
the confines of the seven southern coun-
ties of California we produce the finest
oranges and lemons in the world. In
color, in texture of skin, in juiciness, in
aromatic flavor, in almost total absence of
seeds, in keeping quality, and in every
other feature which goes to make up
strictly tirst-class citrus fruit, we claim to
be the peers of the best orange producing
sections of the world. This claim we have
fully sustained in the markets of this and
other countries, and from the evidences
before you on this floor tonight am sure
you will agree with me that we are amply
able to maintain our supremacy.
While this Citrus Fair is under the con-
troll and management of the Fruit Ex-
changes and the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce, it's premium list is paid from
the state treasury. For number of years
the state Legislature has made an appro-
priation of $500 to be used annually in
rewards for exhibitors at these fairs thus
stimulating that industry which has
given Southern California its reputation
for a semi-tropical climate, and which has
made it one of the garden spots of the
world. But this year the Legislature has
seen fit, in its inscrutable wisdom, to
practically decide to withhold this premi-
UNI money in the future. This may, there
fore, be the last Citrus Fair to be held
here, and it should be largely attended by
all interested in oitrus culture and in the
material development of Southern Cali
fornia.
If that Citrus Fair receives that patron
age from the citizens OF Los Angeles and
adjoining counties which it merits so
richly, it will be safe to say that this will
not be the last exposition of this kind
held i'll Southern California.
Mr.. Smiths remarks were loudly APP
plauded. w. G. Patterson, president of
the Chamber of Commerce, was next in

THE ANIMATED SCENE
An Immense Throng Hears Vice-President
Smiths Address of WelcOme

Smiths Address of Welcome
The foregoing is but little better than
cursory glance at the Citrus Fair as
whole, and the main and larger exhibits
upon the center of the floor. Nothing has
been said of the really excellent displays
that may be found upon the main floor
and in the first gallery. Detailed mention
of these are reserved for another issue.
The pavilion decorations merit special and
extended mention. They are everywhere
and are unique but always in good taste.
The general scheme seems to be the drap-
ing Of the entire interior beneath the roof
and under the first gallery with an orange
coored fabric. Underneath this is is a
white fish netting of about three-quarter
inch mesh, and into this are fastened long
SPRAYS of ivy and other greenery. The
effect is agreeable as it is novel. 30,
The colors presented by the incandes-
cent lights are red, green and yellow.
This, it will be readily seen, are the fiesta
colors, and were adopted in compliment
to the coming event.
Again it may be stated that the Citrus
Fair, so auspiciously opened, is now an
emphatic success. No handsomer,f no
more interesting and no more valuable
object lesson has been presented to the
public than may now be seen at Hazard $

this stream of humanity cease until after
10 o'clock. At no time following the
opening of the doors was there crush.
1t was continued presentation OF admis-
sion tickets for one, two. four or even

DOG AND THE WHEEL.

An English Pointer That Draws His
Masters Bicycle. Up Steep Grades.
From the Springfield Republican.
Steadman Coe of Ware thinks he has the
best all-round dog in America, bar none.
He is a remarkably large, heavy English
pointer of very high breed, and rejoices in
the concise and barky name of Joe Coe.
When Joe was a small dog his owner,
who is an enthusiastic bicyclist, becoming
discouraged by the many hills around
Ware began considering the problem of
securing some sort or portable dynamo
to aid him in his. hill climbing. Being
quite expert In the handling of animals he
decided to use Joe in this capacity. He
had special harness constructed for the
dog and began training him Immediately.
Joe took kindly to the idea, and the exer-
else agreed with him. He was fed freely
and grew with great bounds, the work
causing his hind quarters to Increase with
special rapidity till they were marked
with Jumps Of well-hardened muscle and
appeared more after the general pattern
of small horse than a dog.
The method of operating Joe is very SIM
pie. His harness consists of a breast
plate, surcingle to hold 1t in place, and a
strap extending down the backbone and
ending In ring at the base of the tail.
The rest of the apparatus consists of a
strap about four feet long with a snap
hook at the further end, the strap being
attached to the steering post of the bicy-
Gle, and when not in use wrapped around
the handle bars. When a hill is reached
Mr.. Coe whistles to Joe, and the pointer
comes up alongside and allows the hook
to be snapped into the ring on the har-
ness without compelling the rider to dis
mount. He then jumps forward and pulls
up the hill, dropping back al the top to be
loosened again. The hundred-odd pounds
of active dog is wonderful assistance, and
with a fair amount of work by the rider
depriveS the SteepeSt hill of its terrors
The animal takes the hill in strong gal
lop, being able apparently to use his weight
better in successive lunges, and also being
evidently anxious to get his work done.
In this way a hill is taken at a rate almost
as fast as level between the dog and
the rider, and in fact the dog will take a
moderate-sized hill alone, with the riders
feet on the coasting bars. though Mr.. Coe
rarely subjects him to such a strain. Mr.
Coe has often taken his dog with him on
trips of twenty-five miles or more often
coming to this city and returning the next
day, and the dog apparently is not at all
tired.

Their Antlefs Locked.

From the Chicago nter-Ocean.
Every man in his boyhood has read tales
of the fierce fights of bucks, and has gath
cred informe ton that the forkec antlers
often become securely locked, leaving both
animals to die Of starvation and exhaus-
ton From time to time woodsmen have
found these antlers locked together, but it
is seldom or never that the set has been
found early enough for preservation.
There are on exhibition in the window at
No 1875 Madison street the mounted heads
of two bucks security locked together.
They were brought b Chicago by f.. T.
Brown, wealthy fartser, who resides near
Albion, Mica. The heads are those of Vir-
ginia deer. Gone apparently a year and a
half DID, and the other two years old.
Mr. Brown says that while out hunting
near Bismarck, N. D., he came across the
two animals with their horns locked, still
alive and struggling. He judged they had
been locked together for twenty-four hours,
since the ground for two acres around lad
been completely torn up. He watched for
a while and then shot them.
The deer evidently came together at an
angle. The owner refused an offer Of $500
for his trophy.

BARE LEGS AS BAIT.
Method of Catching Lecches Which 1.
SniL to he Successful.

Said to He Successful.
From the Kansas City Times.
The leech is a strange, unlovely creature.
Fortunately 1t has gone out of fashion. But
thirty or forty years ago, when medical men
had a pleasant habit of bleeding every pa
tient who fell into their hands, the little
blood suckers used to be in great demand.
Even now the trade in leeches Is consider
able
Leech fishing IS not pleasant occupation.
1t condemns the fishers to foggy miSts, foul,
muddy waters and fetid odors. And, worse
than this, the fisher has himself to be the
bait. Blood for blood is the motto of these
sanguinary beasts, and nothing but pair
of plump and naked legs will tempt them
from their stagnant pools.
The leech lives a semi-aquatc existence;
1t must have plenty of air and plenty of wa
ter, and it likes them foul. They are caught
in the spring and early summer. The men
tern up their trousers and wade knee-deep
into the water. The sight of the legs acts
like magnet on the leeches. They make a
rush for them, cling and begin to suck.
The men pick them Off as fast they can
put them into bags which they carry fas-
tened around their waists. They do not
lose any time, for the little black creatures
will swallow five times their own weight in
the blood of a victim in no time, and cause
as much to flow away. Toward the end of
the season the leeches retire into deep wa
ter, and then their pursuers are compelled
10 Waue up 10 their cN1nS. An alternative
to this plan Is to take raft out and dangle
arms and legs in the water.
An expert catches many just as they are
fastening on, and so saves certain amount
of blood. This is an important item. A
good fisher can, if he is careful, go on for
four or five hours before he gets exhausted
from loss of blood. In that case he will
have caught nearly 200 leeches.
1t iS funny, almost uncanny sight to see
the notwithstanding men wading through
marshes and swamps and dirty streams
tfeir arms and legs bare, pokny about
among the rushes and turning the messy
pebbles over with their toes in the hopes Of
stirring up some colony of leeches.
Every now and then they stop, and you
see them raise one black bespecked leg
and pick away until the furious sucking on
the other causes them to bring that up has
tily for inspection, while the former takes
it's place as bait.

1t was then, and only then, that the aW-
full results Of the stampede began to be
realized. In front of the north main en-
trance, where the crowd was the thickest

PHILOSOPHY OF FOOTWEAR.
Why Bartenders Wear SO Many Pairs
of Shoes.


of Shoes.
From tn, New York World.
lone would naturally suppose that the
hook agents." said a dealer the other day,
''but that is not so. There many things
harder on shoes than walking, and the
man who can't go few blocks without
taking car often wears out pair quicker
than the one who llks several miles
day.
The regular walker really knows how to
walk, an art which is not common az it
used to be before the day of elevated roads
and cable cars. The non-Walker is gen.
orally person of indoent disposition, who
takes no more care of his shoes than of the
rest of his wardrobe He breaks them
across the back by forcing them on and off
when they are half unaced, and he saves
himself the trouble of removing any mud
by applying an extra quantity of backing.
Most of the stuff is full of vitriol, and if
man would only use less backing and more
oil and elbow grease he would have fewer
cracked shoes.
But 1t is neither the walker nor the
careless man who uses up the most shoes in
the course CT a year-it is the bartender.
1t used to be said that snow water would
rot leather quicker than anything else but
that was Lefore the invention of chemical

that the brewers use, but there is some
thing in beer that eats not only through
leather, but through hardwood floors l

of new shoes every few weeks, and they
have to stand so much in the beer drip
