Of grit, it has successfully battled
against the hardships OF existence, and
those living all along our Atlantic
beaches today are exactly the same
as the fossil ones found in silurian

Of legs, as the other crabs do, it has
six pairs, like the spiders. It is the
only living relative Of an immense

Most Significant One.
t. \ Opens 5: Sept. 3 With an Ad'
dress By James J. Hill. +

The Minnesota State Fair of 1906
now promises to be the most sig
nidcant occasion in The: history of
agriculture in the northwest.
The great livestock ampitheater
which will be opened and dedicated
on Monday Sept. 8, the opening day
Of the fair, stands for diversified
agricultural life :of this religion. It
u the finest and largest largest live
stock ampitheater Of all the build
ings in the country devoted to it's
uses. It means in a way that Min
nesota is going to be one Of the
greatest livestock states in the
union. It means too that the work
of the Minnesota State Fair Of the
past year has born fruit, that the
state is already one of the leaders in
the breeding of fine cattle: - -
The latter fact is emphasized too
in the sale OF shOrthOrn cattle dur.
ing tho fair' A large proportion Of
the animals to be offered for sale are
from Minnesota farms the
others from farms in Iowa, Wiscon-
sen and Dakotas not far away.
James J.Hill lifelong patron of
husbandry and especially Of live
stock breeding is to make the ad-
dress of dedication at II o'clock on
Monday Opening day. Mr.. Hill is
always an interesting speaker and
on this occasion is likely to ::outdo
himself as the time and occasion
will be of very great personal in
terest to him.

sum that Ellsworth may be retained
