Billy Smith and Charley Curtis, former

they did not land. because they formed

The population of Nevada is growing
fast. Eastern manufacturers and San
Francisco jobbers find an ever increas-
ing market for their products. growing
rich at the expense Of Nevada con-
sumers.
The State is fully capable Of support.
ing factories and jobbing houses of its
own. but the discrimination in railroad
rates against Nevada prevents the
establishment Of new enterprises, and
while capital is not in any way injured,
being always able to earn legitimate
interest IN other channels. the consumer
is compelled to bear the burden by
having more for necessaries and luxu-
ries. and this works an equal injury to
the State and to all Of consumers.
To make the injustice clear to the
average mind not acquainted with
railway tariffs. the following figures
ON well known commodities are pub
lished and calculated TO prove OF great
interest to the intelligent public.

INSTITUTE NOTES.

The Adair county teachers in
stitute convened at the Lindsey
Wilson School building on Mon
day morning August 18th, with
Prof. T. G.. Cherry as instructor.
The time in the forenoon was
spent in the election of officers,
the appointment of committees,
and other routine business of the
institute. Prof. Huffaker was
elected Secretary.
Prof. Cherry delivered an ad-
dress to the teachers on the sub
ject of scientific education, bring
ing out the point that all indi-
viduals are developed by a
process of gradual evolution and
growth.
There were eighty teachers en-
rolled. In the afternoon the
question, "Are Institutes profita-
BILE to the teachers; if not, why
not?' was discussed at consider
able length by Prof. Welborn, of
Campbellsville, and others.
1t seemed to be the decided
opinion of those who spoke on
the subject that Institutes are
beneficial to teachers directly,
and also to the pupil either di-
rectly or indirectly. 1t would
seem that the institute may be
of benefit to teachers who attend
and pay close attention to the
work in hand.
One great trouble with insti-
tutes, as seen by many, is that
the work done in Institutes is re-
peated from year to year and
thus lose interest to many who
have attended many Institutes.

THE TARIFF.

The Eldorado (Kansas) Repub-

been going on for seven years,
and if any private citizen in this
broad land has received any
benefit from tiff the price of
any one trust-made article has
been reduced by the 'trustbust-
ing, which has so delighted the
country then the market re-
ports do not disclose the fact.
On the other hand, everything
we eat, everything we drink,
everything we wear, everything
we use is controlled by a trust,
and that prices are going higher
and higher every week is well
understood by everybody. A
new trust is organized every day,
while the Government casts it's
eyes in owlish stupidity and does
nothing"

he would go from Albany up to Saratoga

by reason of this and other business it

this had been their longest separation

STILL EATING SOrlE
Forty-Ninc Cars OF cantaioupes Left
the Valley Tuesday

Tho weeks showing In tho eantaloupc
market has been good as to prices. de-
spite tho fact that tho quantity shipped
has been rapidly climbing up. A total Of
80 cars left tho valley Tuesday night.
An express car Of the large class took
$50 crates from Express Agent Butter
field on Monday night. and then left some
on tho platform. This Is equal to threo
carloads. But the express car shipments
dropped off last week when the prices
went down in the eastern markets and
rcfrigerators arc now doing practically
all the business for long hauls. Express
shipments are going into Colorado mar
kots, The big car mentioned went to
Denver. in which market the price has
been holding up finely. For good stuff
Sl.5o and Sl.z5 has been paid. The 60
cent advance limit of so cars day from
the valley was passed some time ago. 1t
is now so cents with some associations.

Mrs. Jennie Sherman, wife Of J. w.

Office, died quite suddenly Wednesday
night last from hemorrhage of the stom-

on Sunday last and did not seem to be
serious. Mrs. Sherman had just recently
returned from summer outing with rel
atiyes and was in usual health up to
Saturday. The Shermans have lived in
Rocky Ford since 1901, and Mr.. Sher-
man will have tho special sympathy of

grown to manhood and womanhood, have

be noted while on the subject Of poultry
that Manzanola attained distinction this
year by producing four-legged chicken.
In the vegetable hail. the show was
very good as to vegetables. but the way
wo fell down on fruit this year was very
marked. There were some grapes which
the killing frosts of last spring evidently
did not get-and there were few plums
but the fruit display was not in it with
other years.
The honey display was not up to stan
dard. 1t has been failing for a year or
two. The feeding lands Of the valley for
bees has been cut down by beet planting,
and furthermore the industrious little in
sect has been affected by bee diseases.
Our local seed houses made attractive
displays.
The Fowler community had a special
"corner" in Vegetables that did them
credit.
The dry farming enthusiast was also
in evidence with products grown "above
the bitches"
The thrifty housewife with her display
of canned fruit, jams and jelies was not
to the fore this year. Perhaps because
of the falling off in local fruit and the ex-
orbitant price at which the imported ar
ticle is put on the market. But the whole
of the housekeepers department was
markedly deficient this year.
Turning to the more artistic things, it
can be said that in the Art Gallery" the
marked feature was an improvement in
quality exceeding that of quantity. In
the way of paintings this was decidedly
notable. For an exhibition that does not
pretend to be salon for masters there
was some remarkably fine work. The
tinge of what might very properly be
called local color" was given in such de-
signs as half melon done in water COL
or bearing the title "A Rocky Ford" and
again bunch of beets, not Of the sugar
variety but just plain old fashioned red
beets, remarkably true to nature.

Looking for the Interurban.

G. w. Swnk came in last week
from his big reservoir works in the
Patterson Valley country. He said
the work was steadily going forward
but it was such large undertaking
that days work doesn't show much
on it. He was not in for the Fair
then but of course he expected to be
back for it. "All the boys will want
to come in for the fair and Melon
Day Of course" he said. "and
never like to miss it." G. w. was
anxious to know what hcadway was
making with the interurban railway
propositions. 1--WE want one tip the

"The shouting and the tumult dies
now. The grand stand crowds and the
spielers for the shows and the fakirs are
getting hoarse. Tho tension reaches its
height by Thursday night always and re-
turns to normal between midnight Friday
and Saturday morning.
The sixteenth annual melon feast Of the
state of Colorado has come and gone.
"Dat Watermilion' has been carved and
as usual there was enough to go round,
not much left over, for the bigger the
,apile the bigger the crowd each year to
help eat it, and the very plenisude of tho
provision has the natural effect Of making
the crowd wasteful. If the melons were
being paid for at so much per melon the
feasters would be good deal more dis
posed to finish one properly before calling
for another. But being free the tendency
is after the first surfeit to take few
choice bites out OF the luscious heart of
the fruit and abandon it.
The watermelons were particularly fine

Rocky Ford product by the feasters were
many. The management has learned the
trick of controlling the crowd. through
years of experience, and is now able to
meet the onslaught that comes after the
arrival of all the morning excursion trains.
The rapidity with which several thousand
people are furnished with melon on the
half shell and get the sweet red juice
coursing down their chins is remarkable.
This year saw the grounds of the Fair
association more filled than ever with the
customary catohpenny amusements and
devices. "The Midway" was reproduced
in miniature, and one could readily recog-
nize some of the same fakes that have
done duty at the great national expositions
of recent years. There were also many
of the "old favorites" in the shape of the
fat and frowsy female fortune teller and
hand reader, who never fails OF catching
a good shoal Of suckers.

The refreshment stalls and dining
booths are always sufficient for the larg-
est attendance and nobody need go hungry
or thirsty on tho grounds il they fail to
bring their lunch baskets.
Turning from the light and frothy
features Of our annual show to the more
substantial things for which the Arkansas
Valley Fair exists. it is safe to say that
every year sees a marked improvement
IN the several departments Of the Exhib-
tion. Enquiries made of number of
old-time exhibitors who are known to
take an active interest in the enterprise
as a yearly illustration of what can be
done by the agriculturist and the stock
man. ELECTED the quite general opinion
that our valley fair IS steadily growing
in Importance. The extra provision made
for exhibits by the management also
proves this. The bringing of judges from
distance to pass upon the merits Of the
exhibits is matter of Importance and
satisfaction among patrons; and the ex-
pressions of opinion from these outside

In each of the departments of horses,

to say that hardly anything but fine spec
linens of each class was the rule. To
enter into particulars of description would
be impossible, but a careful perusal
of the prize list when prepared for
later issue of the Enterprise will show
how wide range of products for exh-
btion the prize money offered by the As
sociation called out
The poultry exhibit was by all odds
the best in the history Of the fair. The
new breeds were in evidence. both utili-
tartan and fanciful. One might reason
ably wonder at the exhibit of geese and
ducks made in our arid region. The
