 It is not up to The Republican to say which of these exhibits is the best
 or the worst. and it is good thing, for
 The Republican couldn't tell. But
 when the awards are all made The Re
 publican expects to present as soon as
 possible the full list of prize winners.
 This mention is only to give credit to
 as many as possible who deserve it
 whether they get awards or not. SHETLAND PONIES. There are three Shetland ponies on
 exhibition one q team of colts owned | by Mrs. Laurabel Gardiner and the other pony owned by Dwight B. | Heard. They are all nice animals.
 GENERAL EXHIBITS. The fair visitor who fails to go | through the annex to the general eXhi' bition hall will miss a great big chunk | of the fair. The busy one who wants 1 to see the fair and get away again real | quickly is the person addressed now | for he is the one who will fail to in vestigate and find out what is be yOnd the archway into the annex. Thers is more floor space in the annex than | in the main building, and it is utilized | just as economically. But it is here 1 that the larger and more cumbersome | things are displayed, and more of those l goods which are shown for business | reasons, namely the presentation of
 merits that will result in later sales. One of the exhibitors who has coma 1 for a long distance to get in touch l with the Arizona people is M. F. Phin ney, district sales agent of the Western Salt company. This is a San Diego enterprise, the salt being made bS evaporation of the sea water. There is
 no alkali or minerals in the salt which is said to be 99.36 per cent pure. Mir. Phinney has q good display of his salt
 and is doing all he can to get acquaint- ed with the grocery trade in the fur | therance of business.
 The Pratt-Gilbert company of this
 city has a fine display of the goods | handled by them. Their exhibit is about the largest one in the building in point of floor space. It includes buggies, harness, saddles, lap robes, De Laval separators and other spec!mens representative of such a stock. Hageman, the plumber, has a good exhibit of bath tubs and various plumbing devices. It indicates his de. sire to keep up with the procession. F. ROnstadt & O., of Tucson have novel exhibit that should get them business during the next year. One of its most attractive features is that it is a home industry. The line is that of saddles, spring wagons, heavy de livery wagons and all that class of ve> hicles between the light buggy and the heavy farm wagon, neither of which ! the company makes. The hand made saddle exhibited as specimen of what | they do down Tucson way, is certain ' ly beauty and represents thirty days
 of good hard work. Any judge of sad,
 dies who fails to see this one will miss
 something of real interest.
 ] l.. L. Andrews C Son have a phono- graph display that not only adds in terest but music to the things going on in that part of the fair grounds. | The lumber company displays from northern Arizona are a decided fea- ! ture of the exhibition hall The Sagi- naW and Manistee company of Will liams shows a fine ehibit of Arizona soft pine. when put to proper purposes. i This exhibit includes all kinds of mouldings, flooring, lathing, fence pickets. beaded ceiling. fruit boxes and other similar things.
 | Across the aisle and in the north
 east corner of the annex is the exhibit of the Arizona Lumber and Timber comoan which is being looked after | by Mir. Dutton. This display is not only an interesting one but it is valu- able in an educational way, to every | observer. Everything is shown from 1 the little pine tree only four or five feet tall, to the finished product. Large | sections of logs are there in their nat 1 utal state. lumber in all stages of
 Manufacture down to a pine burl knot,
 smoothed and polished and stained. | There are mouldings, laths, boards of
 all kinds. and one finely polished board
 thirty-eight inches wide. On a table made at the Arizona mills, rests a Showcase, filled with fine specimens
 of wood, hand-carved into goblets and
 small novelties. The exhibit also in
 cludes a large number of pictures Of tle forests, the mills and other fel- tpres of the plant.
 The northern lumber companies have Proved themselves real friends of tho fair from the beginning and not the
 least of their favors is the sending oi such creditable exhibits so long a dis
 tance.
 There ara . score more of good
 things in this building that will all b'
 mentioned just as soon as they can be
 reached in the course of human events
 for the first territorial fair is too big
 thing to dispose of with q rush.
