San Juan county can hardly do better
than to unite for cooperation with the
management Of the Colorado-New Mex
leo fair association for the purpose of
making the fair at Durango this fall the
most creditable eYer held in the San
Juan. Durango stands ready to aid in
placing any exhibit OR .,eople prepare
More people can be reached by a good
exhibit at Durango than in any other
way, for there are visitors at those fairs
from all parts of Southwestern Colorado
and the various mining camps. We can
make more Of a success there than we
can with any local exhibit and the
and more completely our people
act in accordance with this self-evident
truth the better it will be for all. The
dates for the fair have not, we believe,
been decided on, but the fair will be
held somewhere near the middle OF Sep

nesday morning and the unwed and un.
saved hereaway are having rough sled
ding. The California house" a cooper
ative institution, carries a line of healthy
looking boarders but it has been going
only a little while and it is too early to
tell whether the healthy appearance is
merely the precursor to dyspepsia and
indigestion. The erstwhile star patrons
of the adobe hostelry have been cruelty
separated and torn asunder. Colonel
Boyd has gone to the sage brush, Colonel
Joe Prewitt subsists albeit nobody
krows where. doc" Mead picks his
teeth regularly but you know that
doesn't spell anything. Some choice
articles OF subsistence are reputed to
have turned up missing at private resi-
dences and it is well for US all to keep
at least one eye on the miserable devils
who we're lately thrown out to battle
with the cold world for bread and pie.
