WATERMELON oAv.
Fall Festival and Fair at Rocky Ford
Great Success.

Rocky FORD. Colo.-Watermelon
now having many imitators. continues
to grow in popularity and attendance
Thursdays gathering. the twenty
eighth OF the series. was the largest in
the history OF both the fair and Water
melon Day. Had the management OF
the fair given a special order for
weather best calculated to induce the
largest possible attendance, a more
provided. There were five excursions
and eight regular trains, which brought
throngs Of people in excess of any
previous year An attendance OF 49,
900 is conservative estimate.
The agricultural and art halls and
poultry houses were thronSed all day
and the stalls and pens Of live stock
had hundreds of visitors specially in
terested in those departments, which
were more attractive than usual by
reason Of the size and superior excel
lence OF the exhibits The parade of
winners in the live stock departments
IN front of the crowded grand stands
a. noon was most interesting and was
indicative Of the great progress being
made by the enterprising farmers and
stock growers of the valley in that
branch of agricultural operations.
The many trials OF speed on the
track were OF varied character. and
the presence OF an unusually large
number OF fine and fast horses made
this portion OF the days program OF
m a = aa in 70 hn IS yvh hn
| crowded the three grand stands to
their utmost capacity.
Soon after the arrival OF the latest
excursion train the principal event of
the day, the assault on the immense
! melon pile. was announced. The fine
grove was jammed with visitors.
whose mouths were watering for the
luscious feast, and a score of willing
workers rapidly served the throng with
Rocky Ford liberality, half or whole
melon as requested, with cantaloupes
thrown In galore.
The waste OF melons seemed wicked
to city visitors, many guests eating
only the choice core of a splendid
| melon and throwing aside the great
bulk of a twenty y-five-pound, red-cored
beauty.
Eastern visitors were specially i'm
| pressed by the fruit display, being in
credulous as to Colorado's horticultural
resources. 1t Is doubtful II any state
! in the Union could have made finer
display Of fruits. the exhibits being
| particularly strong in grapes, peaches,
! plums and prunes. Senator Crowley's S
Fairview orchards, Ed. f. Swink and f.
| N. Berry were leading prize winners
| In this department
In all branches OF agriculture and
| garden products the exhibits were
| equally complimentary to the product
! iveness of the soil of the Arkansas val
| ley.
Watermelon Day was instituted by
| Hon. G. w. Swink in 1873 and for sew
eral years he personally furnished the
melons required. For number of
| years a free lunch was given to all
visitors, but soon the popularity of the
| great event became so great that this
| feature was OF necessity abandoned.
| The exhibit of agricultural products in
| the early years of Watermelon Day
was the nucleus of the present fair,
which has a longer history of success
! than any similar fair in the West.

Atmospheric POISONING.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived powerful reinforcement by
a declaration OF Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condemna-
tion OF the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases. and, worst of all.
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover. while he admits that sci.
ence can improve motors. he declares
that 1t is impossible for it to burn Pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuous.

NEW SUGAR FACTORY.
Large Plant Projected Between Den
yer and Brighton.

Denver.-A Colorado Springs spe-
cial to the Denver Republican Thurs
day says:
1t was stated here tonight that an
independent beet sugar factory is pro
jected by Denver and California cap
italists, the site to be between Denver
and brighton. The mill is to have a
capacity of at least 5000 sacks of
sugar a day, or approximately 250 tons.
A factory of this size would cost nearly
100000. The Havemeyer factories
in the state are situated at Greeley.
Eaton, Windsor, Sterling, Ioveland
and Fort Collins. At Grand Junction
is the Western Land & Sugar Com
pany's plant. controlled by J. r. Nc
kinnie and associates of Colorado
Springs. The Rocky Ford, Sugar City
and other plants in the Arkansas val
ley are owned by the American Beet
Sugar Company, which is controlled by
Henry Oxnard and others.
Although the McKinnie and Oxnard
factories are independent of The Have
meyer plants in the northern part OF
the state, the three organizations work
hand in hand more or less.
The new plant, it is stated, will be
built for the purpose of fighting the
trust.

YOUNG LADY SHOOTS.
Wyoming Girl Arrested for Shooting
Ranch Foreman.

Sheridan, Wyo.-Miss Edna Irvine,
daughter of State Treasurer Irvine,
who is charged with shooting in the
hip George H. Knighton, foreman Of
the Letter ranch on which the 1rvines
were living, has been bound over under
$500 bonds. For many months, 1t Is
alleged, Knighton has made things dis
agreeble for the Irvine family. particu-
larly Miss Irvine Tuesday, when a
gate was left open and some horses es-
capped, Knighton Is said to have ac-
cused Miss Irvine and 1t is said used
Indecent language, even swearing at
her.
Miss Irvine, though cultured and re-
fined and the graduate of an eastern
girls seminary, loves the range life
and rides much, carrying a revolver at
all times. This she is said to have
pulled ana ordered Knighton to desist,
which he did not do. She. 1t is alleged.

failed to explode, but when she pulled

All Chemically Pure.

The mistaken idea of a few years
ago. about Alum in Baking Powders
being injurious, no longer prevails. or
lished fact by chemical analysis that
Cream of Tartar being less volatile
than Alum. when exposed to heat. is
not entirely vaporized as Is the casi
with Alum, but leaves a residue in the
bread, which is injurious. Alum, on
the contrary. is entirely evaporated
while performing its function during
process of baking. leaving no atom OF
injurious residuous substance. The
words Chemically Pure" enormously
used to designate Cream of Tartar
from Alum baking powder is a mis-
nomer. Baking Powder made OF pure
Alum is al chemically pure as made
from pure cream of tartar. These
words mean nothing more nor less
thar pure chemicals, and in no way
can they imply that one baking pow
der is Alum and another Cream OF
Tartar. Alum has been declared to be
wholesome; an established fact. Ev-
cry large water system in the cities
along the Missouri river use Alum in
large quantities to purify the water
before pumping 1t into their water
mains for consumption. Cream of Tar
tar baking powder is perhaps good
enough for any one: Alum baking
powder is better. and very much
cheaper.
