BIG THINGS

Vastly Important Meeting of the Fair Board Saturday
Expected That $50 Horses Will be Here to En-
ter the Races and Preparations Are
Made to Care for Them

q As predicted by the Senti- a
Q mel Saturday the meeting held 4
2 by the board of directors of the a
q county fair association on Sat *
q urday afternoon proved a most x
q important one. one at which X
q many important steps were a
q taken. X
There were eight directors pres
ent, all sections of the county be-
ing represented.
To Get Starter.
The selection of a starter for the
races at the coming fair was left en-
tirely with the superintendent of
speed and tho president of the as
sociation. Efforts will be made to
secure one of the professional and
well known starters who is making a
circuit of the fairs.
To Get Outside Men.
1t was the sense of the board that
the judges for all departments, ex-
hibits, etc, this year, should be as
far as possible, men outside of the
county so that there can be no uues-
tion as to their fairness and i'm
partiality in making the awards.
This plan will be followed out at the
coming fair.
To Paint Exhibit Hall
1t was decided to paint the exhi-
bition hall, the biggest building at
the fair grounds, in pure white and
have it suitably trimmed
Whipple Chester, the young artist,
was awarded the contract, he being
the lowest bidder. This work will
be started at once and completed as
soon as possible.
Contract With Aeronaut
The secretary was instructed to
close a contract with Prof McCor-
mick, "a fomous eastern eaConaut

his novel and thrilling ascensians on
the opening day of the county fair.
Prof Mccormick in making daring

nervy aeronaut until the balloon isl

there is an explosion, great cloud of
smoke and Mccormick shoots forth
from the cannon's mouth into the air
opens a parachute and drops to the
earth. The fair board is fortunate in
securing this great feature.
Two Bands Engaged.
Applications for contracts to fur
nish music were received from the
Palisade and Fruita bands and the
secretary was instructed to engage
each band for one days service and al
committee was appointed to secure
music for the other two days.
Anent Decorations.
President Haines was appointed as
a committee to confer at once with
the Chamber of Commerce regarding
the matter of having the business
section of the city decorated for fair
week. There is but little doubt that
arrangements for the decoration of
the business streets will be made and
that the city will shine as never be-
fore during the week of the coming
fair
Same Colors Retained.
II was decided to let the national
The daily sentinel., 1907-08-05

colors remain as the official colors of
the fair.
To Enlarge Grandstaud.
The board made a trip of mspec-
/ tion to the fair grounds aud on its
| return decided by unanimous vote
that the seating capacity of the
| grandstand should be increased ma
/ terially in order to accommodate the
! patrons who desire grand stand seats
Two or three days during the fair
last week hundreds of people were
unable to get seats in the grand
stand.
VIII Seat 1000.
A motion prevailed to the effect
that fifty foot addition shall be
erected at once on the west end OF
the grand stand and this will give
the stand seating capacity close
on to 1000.
To Have Bleachers.
A most commendable action taken
by the board was involved in the
decision to erect fifty feet of bleach
ers at one end of the grand stand
There are many people who visit the
fair that complain about having to
pay extra for seats and in order to
prevent. to a certain extent. this
complaint, the management has de
cided to erect these bleachers The
seats in the bleachers will be free
to all and will be able to aocommo-
date about 500 people.
While the increase of the size of
the grand stand and the building of
the bleaehers will not bring the fair
any additional income the associa-
tion is determined as far as possible
to add from year to year to the com
fort of the patrons
Maybe 15O Horses.
There is no question but what
there will be more horses at the com
ing fair than was ever brought into
Grand Junction for a fair or race
meet in the past. 1t is believed that
at least $50 horses Will be on the
grounds to enter in the races.
The management has already been
informed that two strings, composed
of 80 horses, will be here.
Build More Stalls.
In order to care for this unusually
large number of horses it has been
double stalls. This work will be-
done at once.
Live Stock and Chickens.
The live stock and poultry exhibit
will be the largest ever seen here and
there has been a great demand for
chicken coups and large number of
hog pens have been engaged by the
farmers. 1T was decided yesterday
to have so additional chicken coupsI
made and 10 new hog pens con-
structed.
They Are Coming.
The board was informed yester-
day through a communication from
Prof. Argo of the state school for the
deaf and blind, that he is almost sure
that he can secure Miss Sullivan,
the famous deaf mute instructor, and
her class. for the fair.
A number of other matters of mi
nor Importance was given attention
before the fair board adjourned at
late hour.

BABY DROWNs IN DITCH
IN PLATEAU VALLEY
A Very Sad Death of Pretty Child
just Reported from that Section
of the County.

n One of the saddest accidents y
x we have ever been called upon 4
a to relate occurred Sunday af- q
X ternoon. Shortly after dinner q
a when Mr.. and Mrs. Barge His q
Il key had set down to talk to q
a some friends a few minutes, q
Il their baby boy escaped from q
x the room unnoticed and wan q
4 dered outside. Only a few q
x minutes elapsed until his alb q
x sence was noticed, probably q
a five. and a search for him was q
4 begun Thinking he must have q
X started to the home of his q
a grandpa a few hundred yards q
X north, they ran in that direc- Q
4 tion and almost Immediately q
X found the little body. just be q
4 low a division fence about q
a hundred yards north of the q
a house, in n shallow portion OF q
q the swift irrigation ditch which q
a flows in front of the dwelling. 9
1t is supposed that the child ii
irving to cross the ditch slipped into
it. and though it is very narrow, no
over a foot wide, the impetus of the
water carried the body down Il
where it was found This theory wa
borne out by many cuts and bruises
on the head and body.
As soon as the baby was found tn
work of attempting resuscitation wa
begun, Dr. Zinke was summoned an'
every effort made to call back tn
spark of life But every effort was il
vain: the little soul had taken 1t
flight
Dan Ulry Hiskey was born on De
cember Sth. 1905. At the time OF hi
death he was one year, seven month
and eight days old. He was brigh
winsome baby, the pride of his pa
rents and his grandparents, and ia
yorite of all who knew him. The fu
neral was conducted by Rev. G. w

WHAT CAUSED IT?

A prominent mining man called
the Sentinel's attention yesterday to
the fact that during the past eight
days there has been a decided drop
in the prices of mining stocks in Ne
vada and Utah. just what caused the
drop is not known, but it has been
suggested that the result Of the Hay
wood trial and the triumph of the
Western Federation Of miners which
is endeavoring to get stronger foot
holds in Nevada and Utah, has had
something to do with the sudden drop
in prices.

a MESA COUNTY PATENTEE.

Some weeks ago Mrs. S. J. Stanton
was granted letters of patent on a
neat and very useful little invention
from which she ought to realize a
nice little fortune. The patent is a
music turning device, TO be used on 4
piano or organ. II is a very simple
little arrangement, yet one that has
been needed ever since sheet music
came into vogue, and the wonder is
that 1t was not patented years ago.
The device Is made from sheet steel.
aluminium or other metal. The music
drops into tlys which can be turned
Instantly, with a mere touch, with
never a danger of turning two leaves
at n time. 1t also prevents the mu-
sic becoming soiled and scattered by
a gust Of wind. The device is sim
pie, ingenious and useful, ana will
doubtless find a ready sale.-Plat-
