The Mesa County fair in Grand
Junction has drawn a large attend
ance. and both in this respect and on
account of the number and character
of the exhibits, the management has
every reason to be well satisfied with
the result.
Special attention is given tn The
exhibit of fruit. which is no more
than one might look for in view OF
the fact that the Grand valley is
one of the greatest fruit regions In
the west Grand Junction peaches
have an established reputation in an
this part of the country. ard the
production of these and other spe-
cles of fruit forms the most import
ant industry of the valley.
Grand Junction is one of the most
prosperous towns in the state. and II
is growing steadily. The trade of all
that section comes to 1t, and the large
fruit traffic of the valley is handled
almost entirely from that town. The
county fair advertises the great re-
sources of the county; and, recosnZ-
ing this. the farmers and fruit grow

Accident to Poultry Exhibit.

Yesterday afternoon about 4
O'Clock, while the fierce wind was
blowing, the big tent on the fair
grounds in which the large poultry
exhibit is located was almost turned
over The wind lifted one side of
the big canvas into the air, and the
Tapping folds knocked over many OF
the heavy coSps and cages. Only the
quick work of half a hundred men
kept the tent from being blown en-
tirely down and considerable dam
