Ezra D. Barker, the father of Rev Otis w. Barker, has just arrived in Colorado Springs, Colo., where he will remain with his son, Edward Day Barker, until September. His train was 10 hours late, the roadbed being rendered uncertain for speedy trains by reason of the terrible floods. He writes that the newspaper reports of the great storms in the West were by no means exaggerated. At Batavia, N. Y., Is miles from his summer farm, boats were used on the main street that any movement might be made. In many places along the track it was as if going through an inland sea, the trees and other high objects seeming to stand out as if placed on so smanv islets. The damage to crops will be enormous. Fruit in. Western New York will be scarce, and wheat will suffer greatly from rot. This, without any gainsaying, has been a year of re- markable events; the ordinary is the exception rather than the rule.

THE COMING FAIR.

Great interest is being taken in the
Fair. Every steamer that arrives now
is bringing it's quota of people from
the other Islands, who are all eager to
see the exhibits which have been pre-
pared for them. As an experiment
everything promises we'll Whoever
has taken up the matter seems to have
gone in for it with a vim, and a fair
start has been made in a new dlrec-
ton.
OF course this display cannot be
looked down upon as more than an eX-
pertinent. The fairs of the past, some
of which were remarkably good, have
occurred so long ago, that they are
residents. Some Of these had a far
greater scope than the present fair, but
beginning is again made, and if it
should prove successful as no louot
it will do, there will be a continuance
of these fairs, year after year, eaCn
an advance upon the other. which will
excite more and more interest until
they come to be regarded as one of the
features of the summer months.
The main and underlying objects in
the preparation of the fair, are the
display of agricultural and other int

ventions of our own agriculturalists to
meet and overcome conditions peculiar
to agriculture in the Territory. Then
! there is the display of what the prod
ucts of agricultural industry are. 1t
is not only the great staple9 which are
displayed and in which interest will
! be taken, but it is the minor industries
which will call forth eager attention.
There is no branch of industry which
does not have it's place in the Mer-
| chants Fair, but on this occasion it
will be mainly agricultural. 1t is a be-
ginning, however, and everything must
| have a beginning. Moreover, it is a
| beginning under extremely satisfactory
auspices. Judging from previous efforts
in this line, the fair will be very much

and serious omissions goes without
saying, but shortcomings will soon be
corrected, and can only be recognized
after organization and experiment
have taken place. A good move has
been made, and the attention of the
people has been called to a phase OF
