New Orleans
Spring Festival
AND GREAT STREET FAIR
CARNIVAL.
May 9th to 10Th, 1901.
Under the Auspices of the New
Orleans Progressive Union, Ltd.
May 9th to 10Th, 1901.

The Street Fair and Grand
Spring Festival which New Or
leans is giving on May the 9th to
the 10Th, inclusive, has attained
such proportions that it is GER
tain to be one of the notabl events
in the history of the city. The
programme of it's entertainment
is entirely new and unique in the
South. 1t will not be simply an
exhibition of manufactured goods
and various ware. 1t will be adj
ditionly an entertainment-an en-
tertainment worth several times
the price of admission.
Half of the immense grounds
which have been dedicated by the
city in Cleveland Park, which is
in the very heart of the city, for
the use of the Fair, will be taken
up by the exhibits of manufac-
turers and merchants, and from
the great interest that has been
developed in these features it is
probable that New Orleans, in
dustrial,y, has never been better
represented than it will be on
this occasion.
Directly connected with this
department is the other half of
the great show which will be oc-
cupled by Bostock's Famous Ag-
gregation of Street Fair Shows.
Bostock is the most famous show
man in the world, probably, and
is the leader among the conces-
sionaires of the Pan-American
Exposition to be held at Buffalo,
and it is understood with the
same show that he proposes to
exhibit there will be in New
Orleans for the Fair. There
will be more than a dozen differ
ent shows, with the trained ami
NAL aggregation among the lead
ing attractions. 1t is likely that
the visitors of the Fair will enjoy
the novel experience of seeing
for ten minutes the real 10000
pound elephant.
No attraction, by the city, for
the past several years, has been
so thoroughly advertised. The
entire press of the city of New
Orleans is back of it to a unit,
and the bone and sinew of the
city, commercially, is knit to-
gether for the success of the en-
terprise. More private invita-
tons are going out from mer-
chants and business men to their
friends and business connections
in the country than have ever
gone out for the Carnival event.
The city is proceeding in the
enterprise on the plan of giving
the concourse which will visit the
Street FAIR show worth several
times the price of admittance,
and it has gotten things in that
shape even at this early date of
being sure to execute this plan
successfully.

FUTURE OF ALASKA.
Judge Brown Says the Seal Is Being Fast
Exterminated

ENtermfnated.
Judge Melville c. Brown came all the
way from juneau, Alaska, II distance
of 5000 miles. to attend the meeting of
the American Bar Association in Den
yer. Prior to his appointment to the
bench of the District Court of Alaska
fifteen months ago, Judge Brown was
a practitioner of Laramie. Wyoming.
The judge was interviewed while in
Denver by a Republican reporter and
said:
Alaska has no future aside from it's
mining interests and fisheries. Its min,
eral wealth is still an unmeasured
quantity. Its fisheries are the largest
in the world and still admit of develop.
ment. The seal industry is n thing OF
h past with citizens of the United
States in Alaska. Inside of five year,
not a seal will remain on its shores.
Our treaties with foreign countries on
h subject of seal hunting give aliens
practically all rights, while as eff ectu
ally denying the same rights to citizens
of this country. Hunted in season and
out. the seal is rapidly being extermin
ated and soon will become more of q
curiosity than the American buffalo"
During the last year Judge Brown
disposed of more than 500 cases, in
volving questions of mining, admiralty
commercial and criminal law. He says

en- of the bridges We're either badly
damaged or totally destroyed. The
roadbed near some of the bridges Is
also washed out. The company's mo-
tive power, consisting of three engines,
with a pile driver, are on the west side
of the wnshOut.
During last nights storm twenty
five telephones of the Colorado Tele-
phone Company in this city were burn
ed out. The storm, which was quite
general throughout this section, was
most severe in the vicinity of Weston.
A horse and light wagon and n great
number Of bridge timbers, piling and
ties, We're seen coming down with the
first wave. So far it has not been pos
sible to learn who owned the rig or
what became of the driver.
There was another heavy flood this
afternoon but the damage done was not
so great. Word reached the city To-
night that a Mexican who had gone to
sleep under a bridge near Weston had
been drowned, but his body has not
vet been recovered. Several county
bridges We're washed out. The city

The new railway is TO be standard

mated that an understanding already

The Colorado & Northwestern, n mar
row-gauge line, was built about five
years ago. w. C. Culbertson of Gil
rard, Pennsylvania, was the principal
stakeholder and has virtually con-
trolled the policy of the road since 1t
was completed. The retirement of
Culbertson gave Colonel Dick the OPP
p%ortunity he had desired. Within six
ty days the road is to have an entirely
new management, and n vigorous poll
cy Is to be inaugurated in the develop
ment OF mining camps and in low
rates upon ore and supplies.
The road is nov twenty-siX miles
long, extending TO Ward. A branch is
TO be built to Eldora and the present
narrow-guage system will, later on, be
only n branch of the larger system.

PLANS GREAT THINGS
FOR GRAND JUNCTION

Denver, Aug. 3l.-A morning paper
says:
If the plans of eastern capitalists are
carried out the Grand valley will not
only blossom like the rose but quicken
into life with electricity.
A great scheme for the development
of the Grand valley and the western
slope will next week come TO fruitiOn.
George ii. Smith Of Grand Junction
went East last night to arrange for the
placing of S25O.oOO capital in car lines,
n high line ditch forty miles long, and
n power plant to furnish power for the
entire valley, The project is consider
ed II most extensive and possessing
greater possibilities for the western
slope than anything yet suggested.
Cleveland capitalists have become in
terested and Mr.. Smith stated at the
Brown hotel last night that he would
return within thirty days with capital
and equipment and that construction
work will begin before October LIST on
a canal that will irrigate 5000 acres of
fine valley land. 1t assures a revolu-
ton in Industrial and agricultural con
ditiOns in the valley and opens up a
vast field for settlement and cultiya-
ton hat means n doubling of the pop
ulation and energies OF the western
slope.
The capital to accomplish the long
cherished plans is at last furnished"
said Mr.. Smith, and it will require
about S25O,0OO to complete the work"
The plan includes the following:
An electric car line, forty miles long,
connecting Palisade, Grand Junction
IL Fruita and doubling back over its
own course.
A high line canal, forty miles long.

he does not often make a cure is be-
cause he does not recognize the trouble.
In a large majority Of the cases ca
tarrh OF the female organs is the cause.
Peruna relieves these cases promptly

officers. is a patron of the criminal
classes. shielding them from prosecu-
ton in return for money or political
assistance. This was a dignifed and
honorable business compared with the
position in which the most recent
charges have placed the department,

This is in some respects the worst
