A feature of the service is the
blowing of the Shofar, or Rams

first of q series of fall holidays in
the Jewish calendar, the succeed
ing ones being the Yum Kippur,
the Day of Atonement, on the %,
and Succoth, the Feast of Taber-
nacles, on the 2Sth inst. The two

faith, with but few exceptions,at-
tend religious services, returning
from the seashore, the mountains
and European trips in time to
open their homes before the new
years day.

Our Sportsmen Must BE Careful.
1t behooves our hunters to be
more careful after the game sea-
son opens up. Under the old
game laws the farmers had to
prove damage when bringing
suits for trespass, but now any
person "trespassing on any cul-
tivated land for the purpose of
hunting and trapping, and taking
therefrom any game birds or
game animals, after public notice
by the owner, lessee, or occupant
thereof, such notice to be posted
on and adjacent to such cultivated
lands, shall be guilty of willful
trespass, and in addition to the
damage recoverable by law, shau
be liable to the owner, occupant
or lessee in a penalty not exceed
ing IS for each offense."
The farmers are well posted on
this new law, and we have heard
a number of them state that they
would take the benefit of it, eS
pecially against those hunting
out of season. AS a rule the sea
son in this county opens up about
two months before the law says
it does, at least some of our hunt
ers seem to think so, but we will
hear what the farmers think
about it this year.

fallen chief magistrate.

Agricultural Building.

Though the display in the agricul-
tural department was smaller than was
expected. it was very choice. some
fine exhibits being made. That many
more exhibits than the actual num-
ber were intended to be made at the
fair was evidenced by the number of
entry cards filled out and left uncalled
for. The recent storm and conse-
quent bad roads may be responsible
for same. Whatever the cause.
the fact Is to be regretted.
These fairs are valuable to the
farmer. inasmuch as they are one of
the means of education, and at the
same time criterion of his own pro
gress.
Then he can see the results of the
experiments of others, and at the
same time has an opportunity to COM
pare his own products with those of
others.
In short, the fair is one place
where the farmer can see whether or
not he is keeping up with the times.
If he isn't. he'll have to hurry"
Several times during the fair the
expression I've got as fine" or IL
can beat that" was heard. If so.
then the proper thing for the speak
ers to do was to exhibit, and so In
duce others to improve the quality
of their products by competition. At
any rate, those who didn't exhibit
missed It,
Our San Juan county friends took a
prominent part In the exhibition.

varieties some Of them being beau

INDIAN DAY
Proved a Grand Success :
Review Of Exhibits.

There Is no way of getting around
the fact that Indians are a drawing
attraction. This was clearly demon
strated yesterday by a record break
ing attendance at the fair grounds
This being the case more attention
should be given to this feature-even
more than this year which was added
10 from last year. In addition to the
races, chicken pulling, ETC., there
should be dances by both the Nava-
joes and Utes. Have just as much
as can be crowded in during an after
noon and the directory will find it
paying investment. OF course there
is quite an expense in addition to the
purses hung up as the Indians have
to be fed and looked after, otherwise
ii would not be possible to secure the
large attendance of red skins
The day opened with bright, warm
sun, but towards ten o'clock 1t began
clouding and II was feared that rain
might interfere with the sport. But
the Fates were kindly disposed. Peo-
pie were early astir and when ten
o'clock rolled around there were at
least four thousand men, women and
children out to see the parade. The
Indians were just trifle late in get
ting around. but this was not their
fault. After crossing the bridge they
were Joined by the Woodman band
and. escorted down Third avenue to
Seventh street, thence to Main ave
nue.. thence north to the fair grounds.
The Indians were all on horseback.
There is something about an Indian
that makes him look down on walk
ing when he can ride and consequent
ly there were none of the noble rcd
skins in the company except on horse
back. There were Utes bucks, Ma
yajos bucks, Ute squaws. Navajo
squaws. pappooses galore. and many
OF them riding double. Some were
in fancy attire. bright blankets with
shining jewlery. while others were
In modest garb. The cavalcade was
happy one. The Indians apparent
ly entered into spirit of the occasion
and knew they were showing off for
the benefit of their pale brethren and
sisters. Thus ended the first chapter
of the day.
