object of this European exploration was
to gain definite iaots that might be Of
use to fax growers.

1t has double row Of coops. The
poultry building is in keeping with
the rest Of the grounds. It Is conven-
iently arranged, both for sightseers
and exhibitors. This short account
Of our new fair grounds would not
be complete without mention of the
new race track. The work was done
by Mr.. F. B. Hardy. and 1t is well
done. The track is, one half mile
around and is an oblong. The Tri-
bune feels safe in asserting that
when finished it will be the finest in
the state and the equal of any in the
northwest. n
In closing we may say that Cam
yon county may well feel proud of
her new fair grounds. They are
close in, nicely arranged, and when
completed will be beautiful, If substan-
tial buildings. velvety lawns. beauti-
full flowers and spreading shade
trees can make anything beautiful.
The grounds were laid out by Messrs.
Andrews, Campbell and Gowen, with
the advise of the other members of
the Board. The Tribune congratu-
lates the gentlemen upon their sound
judgment. It also congratulates Can
yon county upon having such men.

male, runs round her few times in
little circles and then begins violent
oriental dance. He twirls round and
round. Drawing in his legs. he writhes
and crawls. serpentlike, along the
ground. Strengthening his legs and
erecting his body, he towers above the
lady grandly. And the mischief Of 1t
is that the female spider is always
stronger than the male and when his
dance is done she either accepts him
for her mate or else, falling upon him
fierceiy, she tears him to pieces. I'm

music teaching that she made her first
investments in lands and oil wells. In
the former, depending upon her own
judgment, she has had wonderful sue
cess, and she.owns lands and houses in
various sections of Los Angeles, buy
ing and selling for herself.
But 1t is in her oil operations Mrs.
Summers has attracted the widest at
tention. When oil was first discovered
in the vicinity Of her California street
home she secured a location for her
first well. This was most profitable.
and she kept adding to her collection
Of wells until she had large number.
From the very first she has been thor
oughly businesslIke in all her dealings
and soon commanded the respect Of all
with whom she was associated. 1t has
not been plain sailing. She has taken
Ter hard knocks without whimpering,
however, and has asked no favors In
her business because of the fact that
she is woman. Possessed of an I'M
daunted spirit, every backward step
mas meant an effort that has lifted her
still further in her business career.
Among oil men she is known as a
good fellow" .and there isn't one Of
them better in touch with crude oil
conditions and the market than is she.
In personal life Mrs. Summers is a
charming woman, full OF spirit and del
icate intuition. She is intensely inter
ested in Los Angeles and feels herself
part Of its tnnermost workings. Its
development is the spirit that anfmates
her. Simple and unaffected in her
home life. she is one to comfort and
command.-Los Angeles Times.
