Fair Association Doing Buriness. Thousand Dollar
Building Ordered and Three thousand Dollars
Offered In Premiums.
SEPTEMBER Fl, % & %

Contracts for a big fair building have
been let to G. NJ Ward.
The main building will be large
frame structure 5Sxso feet in extent.
and arranged SO as to display the
various exhibits to the very best ad-
vantage. The contract has been let
and work will begin at once.
The committee cannot put up as
many buildings as it would like on
account OF funds, but the main exbibi-
tion building will be very satisfactory
and will answer all purposes very we'll
this year.
1t will cost something like 81 600 and
will be permanent improvement.
The premium list is in the hands OF
the printers and will be out sometime
next week.
About 5000 is offered in premiums
and they are very liberal in all lines.
The premiums for fruit and agricult-
ural products are exactly the same as
are offered by the state fair. and in all
lines they are as large and liberal as
any acounty fair can possibly make
them.
This fair is not cheap in a single par
ticular, and it is hoped to start off in
better shape than most fairs are in
after they have been running several
years.
All the departments usually found in
a country fair will be taken care of.
Fruit, pantry stores, agricultural, poul-
try and live stock; all are provided
with liberal premium lists, and grand
exhibition will be formed OF each.
The display CT fruit will eclipse any
thing ever seen in Colorado, and we
expect many people to come long dis

Worth knowing.

A homemade cement that will
mend broken crockery is worth
knowing about. Here are several
formulas. Unslacked lime, or plas-
ter of paris mixed with the white OF
an egg till the consistency of cream,
is excellent. Plain white lead will
do also, and, moreover, this is one
of the few cements that will resist
water and heat. One other that is
waterproof is made by dissolving or
dinary white glue in warm milk

tances to see what Canon City can
gather together in this line.
The advertising committee has ar
ranged for liberal advertising in all the
sections of the state where people
might be interested in Canon City.
This includes Cripple Creek, Colorado
Springs, Pueblo. the lower Arkanss
valley, Wet Mountain valley and the
upper Arkansas valley.
The transportation committee has
every assurance Of very low rates from
all roads, and it is hoped to bring great
crowds here from all over the state.
1t is proposed to make September
22nd Fruit Day and give away liberal
quantity of fruit.
The object of this is to advertise
Canon City fruits. Rocky Ford has
made the Rocky Ford melon known the
country over by her Melon Day, and
our Canon City Fruit Day of some
years ago did much to advertise Canon
City fruits.
The fair committee will solicit all
fruitgrowers and ranchmen for full
donations of fruit, and it is hoped they
will be as liberal as in previous years.
The races are going to be the best
ever. Secretary Kohlman is receiving
a big volume OF mail regarding this
feature OF the fair, and he has the as
surance that the best horses in the
state will participate in the speed con-
tests.
The fair will conduct these races in
the highest toned manner possible.
No pool selling or public betting stands
will be countenanced, and no liquor Of
an intoxicating nature will be sold on
the grounds.

Pendleton, Or, June 26.-Mrs.
Christina Clark died yesterday at
the home of relatives in the Cold
Springs country, about 25 miles
from this city. Mrs. Clark was
born in the southern part of Indi-
ana, June %, 1901, and therefore
was aged log years and 4 days, be-
ing one of the oldest women in this
state. She came across the conti-
nent with her husband, arriving in
Oregon in 1S49. She settled in
Yamhill county, and resided on
farm there until 1897, when she re-
moved to this county.

Medford, Or, June 24.-A. E.
Morris has just returned from fthe
strike Of gold on the head dwaters of
Thompson Creek, near Gray back
Mountain.s He brought with him
over $75 in gold taken from the
ledge which shows on the surface
over 4,500 feet long. The Briggs
boys have taken out $500 and
have as much more in sight.
Most of the people going in leave
Medford and 60 by the way of Jack
sonville, crossing the divide at the
herd Of Williams Creek. This
route is only so miles from Medford.
Hundreds of people are leaving,
and the town Is in great excitement.
Claims ars being staked and placer
locations filled.
II. E. King washed $3.50 from
four pans of placer dirt last Sunday
on his location 500 feet from the
Briggs find. The ledge is 45o feet
on the Oregon side of the Califor-
MIA line.
A townsite has been located and
tents are being pitched. Not since
the days of Gold Hill or Steam boat
Springs has so much interest been
manifested in gold discovery. 1t
is claimed that the ledge is the
same as the Steamboat strike, but
the values are much higher and the
ledge larger.

Tangier, June 25.-Ion Perdica-
ris and Cromwell Varley, who were
captured by the bandit Raisuli,
have just arrived. Perdicaris was
greatly pleased with the reception
accorded him by the townsmen,
who met him in great numbers.
Perdicaris suffered many hard
ships while in the hands of Raisuli,
although he said he did not think
that these were the fault of the
bandit chief, and that he had every
comfort under the circumstances.
Varley appeared to be as cheer.
full and bright as if he had just re.
turned from a picnic.
Perdicaris was received at his
town house by the authorities. the
admirals of his feet, and numerous
personal friends. His Moorish GER
wants made great demonstration
of joy, kissing their masters hands
and clothes. Much credit is due to
the two sheriffs of Wazan, Mulai
Ali and Mulai Hame1, who have
devoted much time in efforts to &C.
cure the success of the negotiations.
Mulai Ali was in communication
with Rsisuli constantly, thus insur-
ing the safety of the captive, while
Null Hamel travelled between Tan.
gier and Benairos.
Nothing unusual occurred during
the exchage of the prisoners, who
started immed diately for their homes
The delay in turning over the pris'
oners was apparently merely mis-
take as to the date set for their re
lease.
