.COLONIA
JUAREZ
Succeeded In Getting Up Ore
Of the Best Expositions
Ever Seen.
MARVELLOUS RESULTS
of the Work Of the Mormon
CoIonists In the Sierra
Madre After Twelve
Years.

Taking into consideration the isola-
tion of Colonis Juarez, and the fact
that the people of the colony depended
almost entirely upon their own resour-
| ces for the exhibits and other features
of the fair, the fair tn that colony on
| Wednesday and Thursdsy of this weak
cannot be said to have been anything
but q grand success.
The thing most to be regretted about
the fair is thst go few of those who do
not know of the wonderful resources
and talents OF the Inhabitants OF this
colony we're there to fad these things
out. The majority OF the atsendar Is
from out of the colony were members
Of other colonies. people Of their own
kind, who are themselve resourcetul
and nee DO teaching.
Probably the best results from the
fair for the people Of the colony will
enaca ate from the visit of Governor
Ahumad ct this time when the fruits
OF their industry and talents. were
collected together so tn at he could see
them to the best advantage and thus
learn the real worth of the class CT
people who are popula.ing the country
over which he rules. The governor
was so well piss with this fsir that
he; made known his Intention of
promoting an annual state fair in
Chihu ahus, the first one IL be held
some time in the fall OF next year.
Thus benefit of the Juarez fair Is
slreedy evio ent, as IL was the pleas
ant scenes there that icstllied the state
fair idea into the governor mind.
The exhibits, the majori:y of whish
were products of the soil and Drawn
and brain OF the colony, were those Of
fruits, vegetables, cereals. nne stock and
poultry educational, fine arts. the dairy
