Opera HOuSe For Fruit.

The Peach Day executive committee
has taken slightly new departure
this year in providing a place for the
display of fruit. Heretofore this has
been hard problem, involving a
large amount of expense for buildings
and other necessaI les for the proper
display of the fruit ON exhibition.
Today Chairman Miller contracted
with Manager Edwin Haskell for the
Park opera house. in which the entire
fruit and product exhibit will be
made. These will be admirable quar-

the crowds and the heat. Altogeth er
it will be the very best arrangement
ever made and the committee feel that

Get Their Trade.

Several gentlemen were talking last
night about the Indians who visited
this city and remarking that it was
strange that they did not come here
more frequently to trade. He said
that when the town was first estab-
lished old Colorow did come here with
big bands and they spent money free
ly. At that time drunken cowboy
got into a dispute with the old Indian
chief about brand on one of his
horses and threatened him. and from
that day to this. they have only come
to the town infrequently. The trade
of the Indians would be worth at least
twenty thousand dollars year to the
city. and they should be encouraged
to come here to do their trading, as it
is their nearest large city from their
reservation.
