have been revised and increased and
made more equitable. Fruit will be
conspicuous, and it is believed from
present indications, one of the. best
displays ever made in this line in the
! state.
ADJUSTMENTS at the fair will be bet
ter than ever before, both in character
and variety. The largest race entry
list ever made up for any state fair
was announced soon after July lst.
More than 26O horses were entered
and for the great $1,000 pacing race
Al entries we're made. This means ire
mendous racing at the state fair.
And the race program will be sup
plemented with specialties of a high
order. Schreyer, the daredevil ,bicy-
Gle shoot-the-chute fend will be at the
fair again after a tour of successes
throughout the continent. Running
races, hippodrome events, balloon as
tensions and other thrilling entertain
ments will be provided. s. -.
Many of these things will be repeat
ed at the evening performances but
the great evening attraction will be

This great show travels like circus
in special train and employs some
400 actors and supernumeraries. 1t
closes each evening with a special dis
play OF magnificent fireworks.
The State Federation of Women's
Clubs will keep open house at the fair
again this year and all women visi-

MINNESOTA STATE FAIR.
Great Show to Open on Monday,
Aug. 31st.
Increased Exhibits. - Half-Fare
Railroad Rates.
Twill Be The Best of a Wonderful
Series of Big Fairs. &

AS the 44th Annual Minnesota State
Fair will open in a short time it is
quite in order to give some general
statement of the plans of the fair up
to date. These plans have been made
on generous scale and with the idea
OF progress which has characterized
the conduct of the fair for some years
past and which has built it up to be
the foremost state fair in the land.
The fair will be opened on Monday,
August 81, with an address by United
States Senator Charles w. Fairbanks,
of Indiana, an eloquent and forceful
speaker of national reputation and
known as presidential possibility of
the future. His address will probably
cover agricultural questions and some
of the great issues of the day.
Perhaps the most important feature
of the fair will be the National Live
Stock exhibitions and sales held in
connection with the American Here
ford Breeders Association. These
exhibitions have grown from tenta-
tive display four years ago until they
are known among breeders all over
the country as the most successful
shows of their kind. The Minnesota
fair is the only state fair which can
secure these national exhibitions.
Auction sales of prize animals will be
held in the great tent on the fair
grounds during several days of the
fair.
Premiums have been increased in all
departments and S45, 900 is now the
grand total offered by the Minnesota
fair for exhibits and in purses.
Most of this money goes to agricul-
tural and animal exhibits; the exhib-
it's of manufactures and machinery
are rewarded by diplomas and honor
able mention. But these exhibits will
be none the less interesting and extern
sive. There will be the largest dis
play Of farm implements and machin-
cry ever seen in the west. This depart
ment will center about the new Farm
Machinery Building which has been
erected this summer at cost of S10,-
900.
In the main or exposition building
every foot of space was assigned be-
fore midsummer and booths will be
erected as in 1902 for the accommoda-
ton of the overflow exhibitors. The
dairy building will be crowded; the
poultry building has been equipped
with new show coops and will make a
fine display of the feathered tribe.
The woman's department has out
grown it's old quarters and has been
given the building used only a few
years ago for the entire agricultural
and horticultural display. This shows
the enormous growth of the fair. This
old building $50 feet long held all the
agricultural and horticultural exhibits
three years ago; now the woman's de-
partment which then occupied a corner
in the exposition building will find it
none too large, while the new agricul-
tural hall, occupied first in the fair of
1901 land 26Ox24O feet in size) is
already |overcrowded with displays.
There will be keen competition
among the counties this year. The

II SCENIC ROUTE.
The Joint Committees Of the City and
County Met Today to Start
tho Movement.

The scenic route from Las Vegas
to Santa Fe is not dead, neither does
the enterprise slumber from lack OF
interest taken by the two mountain
cities.
A communication has been received
from the county commissioners OF
Santa Fee county asking the county
commissioners of this county what
had been done by the denizens OF this
end of the road in the matter and
what was proposed, SO that the two
counties might work In harmony. The
committees appointed by the county
commissioners and the city council
met in joint session this afternoon IN
the offices of the Romero Mercantile
company. The organization of the
committees on a working basis is be
ing perfected, and the work of select
ing a route will be taken up. The
action taken by the committee with
regard to the preliminary work Will
be published Monday.
The members of the committees
are very enthusiastic and a glance at
the personnel of those in charge is a
guarantee that the preliminary work
will not lag.
Those composing the committee ap-
pointed by the county commissioners
are: f. O.. Kihlberg, D. Winternltz,
Margarito Romero, J. D. w. Veeder,
Cleofes Romero, and Lucien Rosen-
