which are competing are certainly mer-
itorious, and nearly all sent large cN-
hibits. The apples and pears sent from
Idaho and Oregon, on the line Of the

ny,dre receiving encOmiUms from every
visitor and fully deserve all the atten-
ton given them. Some of the single
entries of fruit from the northwest, in
size. color and perfection of form. sur
pass everything else in the exhibition.
California, of course, is uneXcelled in
its fine display of oranges. lemons,
hines, grape fruit, etc. but its showing
of grapes is not superior to Utah's ex-
hibit from Dixie and several other Of
Utah's displays Colorado makes a
splendid showing with her peaches and
other fruits, particularly those grown
i'm Mesa county Payette, Boise and
Weiser valleys, and the Idaho insane
asylum farm have Very CreNitablc eN-
hibits Of pears, apples, peaches. pIums
and grapes. Their apples especially are
fine and are the most highly COlOred Of
any shown in the exhibition, with the
possible exception of those shown from
, Oregon. The Hood river, Oregon. and
Wolf river apples are the most highly
cOlOred Of any like fruit in the entire
show. The TOkay grapes grown in the
same district however. are not so
highly cOlOred as those grown in Utah.
MOntana's fruit exhibit is certainly
surprise. It's showing Of apples, plUms,
pears, grapes and peaches are all good.
In citrus fruits California. has no
competitors, but does credit to herself
nevertheless. in the neat and complete
display of varieties In pears. peaches.
plums etc. the exhibit from the Golden
state is not nearly so good as several
others shown in the pavilion. and her
showing Of grapes is far eXcelled by
the exhibit from Utah's Dixie. The
show of olive oil is a most creditable

Utah's Great Showing.
For the finest general exhibit Of fresh
fruits Utah is far ahead in nearly every
department. A prominent Californian
admitted that the Golden state never
made so good showing of fruit as
Utah has put up at this exhibit. and
everybody who has seen it comedies
this states superior display.

/ The peaches, pears ana apples. particu-
/ larly the first named, it would be hard
[ to excel anywhere. Some Of the vari-
4 cites of apples, however, are not so
/ highly cOlOred as others of the same
I variety from the northwest. The FL

/ and more highly colored than those
