pleasure. Il may be stated that the
five days OF the fair viii be interesting
ones for the public and the list Of

mGnt for everyone.
The exposition grounds presented a
blly appearance this morning. At
least thirty horses were on the track
warming up Secretary Stuart said
today that between twenty and thirty
horses have arrived this. week and
that there will be unners from OK
lahoma, Missouri, Kausas and Texas

who have already made application 4
number Of race horses from Texas and
Missouri will arrive Thursday.
Among the horses that arrived at
the track Monday were a number ct
thoroughbreds from Texas that have
been competing for the prizes at the
G%reenyille and Denison fairs.
This morning a number Of horse
men were discussing the coming meet
ing next week. A man who appeared
to be a veteran of the track said that
the Ardmore meeting would be one
of the best held in the South this sea
son. He stated that the purses offer
ed were sufficient to attract many
horsemen to the city.
The association has engaged one of
the very best starters in the country
and racing will be one of the best
features of the fair.
But racing will be only n Of the
many features in connection with the
fair. Secretary Stuart stated that he
would probably be able to announce
the list OF attractions within the next
day or so. The matter of booking at.
fractions is entirely in the hands oil

hibition OF fireworks during the expo.
sition. The Paine company asks an
enormous sum I'M 1t may be that
terms will be arranged within the next
day or so. The company has an in

ment line. Its fireworks display is the
finest in the world.
Work on the exposition building Is
being rushed to completion and ev

opening. Merchants OF Ardmore gen

building. A big firm in Vermont has
engaged space for the fair week.

NOTHING IN 1T.
Smell Treaehery. Russen Ashamed 70

Smell Treachery, Russell Ashamed to
Face Music at Land Office.
In the land Office investigation yes
terday nothing developed hat would
reflect upon the integrity of the EN-
ployes or the manner in which the
office was conducted. Numerous wit
nesses were examined by Chief Law
Clerk George Dick Rogers. These wit
nesses included leading attorneys OF
this city and persons who transact
business with the force. On the 9th
er hand the witnesses testified that
there had been no discrimination or
irregularities such as were alleged by
two newspapers in the Choctaw ma
ton. Stories Of alleged graft were
given wide publicity and commented
on in the very nature of things it was
assumed that graft was rampant here.
But the allegations could not be sus
tanned in a single instance. The testi-
mony developed hat the Office was
conducted in a systematic way and
that everyone who had business with
il was accorded courteous treatment.
or course, Chief Clerk MARI felt graft
fed to find that everyone was gen
orally satisfied and pleased and that
not a single complaint developed.
The editors. who alleged that irreg-
ularities existed, failed to show up and
testify. They were notified In plenty
of time. but they preferred to stay
at home and write more fake articles
in the hope of increasing their circu-
lation. Apparently this was the only
excuse for publishing the slanderous
reports. These editors should feel
heartily ashamed Of themselves for
the sneak trick they were guilty OF,
and make full retraction in justice
TO the parties involved.

hances the beauty of the place. There
are in fact many ornaments to attract
the attention Of the spectator anu
things worth seeing. The stock consists
of everything iminagable in a store
Of this kind. The cut glass display,
the Venetian articles, and %trinkets,
brick-a-bracs are some of the features

features, however, are the elegant fix

has been and is heavy speculative buy
ing Of all grades of butter during the
season of the heaviest production. This
has had tendency to hold values high
Just at the season when there was the
greatest amount to be marketed, and
has added thousands Of dollars to the
Golfers of the farmers. Last winter was
a profitable one to the holders Of but
ter, and this seasons buying has been
much heavier than in 1904. A COM
parison of values on creamery extras
shows that prices now are about 25 per
cent higher than a year ago. The fact
is also evident that much larger hold
ings are in storage, which may have
some weakening influence upon the win
ter output, but as this is comparatively
light a reasonably low range Of winter
prices cannot possibly offset the bene-
fits gained during the months of June,
July and August. The light sales Of
."patent' butter have given wider
outlet for the production of ladled and
bined with the lighter production of
low grades, has advanced values on the
goods known as packing stock, and
dealers are now paying around Is cents
pound for this grade of goods as
against II cents year ago.
The year 1905 has been marked by
goods, and Whatever production has
been taken in has already gone out, SO
that the winter trade in butter will
not be interfered with by this grade
Of goods to any appreciate extent.

Dairy and Food Commissioner for the
' State OF Minnesota.
Some idea Of the magnitude of our
dalrylng interests may be obtained
from a study of the statistics contained
in the last biennial report of the dairy
and food commission. These figures are
only concerned with those of our dairy
products, manufac tured at the cream
cries and cheese factories of the state.
There are undoubtedly as large num-
Der of cows furnishing milk for private
diaries in the state as are contributing
to our creameries and cheese factories,
and this fact must be borne in mind
in studying the following statistics in
order to fully appreciate the magnitude
of the industry. A total of 449, 740
cows contrib uted to our creameries and
cheese factories in 1908, total of
l.392,94S,49 pounds of milk, from
which were manufactured 72,266,34S
pounds of butter and 3,99S. 646 pounds
of cheese. a total of $14,3S5,0 90.54

to come, supplying much employment
for the laborer, cheap fuel and building
