COTTON FABRICS OF SEASON.
More Elaborate Than Usual Are the
Designs Offered.

The chasm between beauty and ex.
travagance is successfully bridged by
the cotton fabrics. although these are
not always inexpensive. The manu-.
facturers have made such an effort TO
produce something rare aud novel this
season that their success has In some
instances been gained only by the
employment Of materials and designs
that keep pace with costlier fabrics.
As rule. though. the cotton stuffs
are within the reach OF all and very
beautiful.
The limitations of the linens used
for tailored frocks are numerous and
are distinguished from pure linen only

Butter making is a live subject in

much from his English cousin. For

to free the grains from dregs Of the
buttermilk.
A worker who can show a good

has grasped the essential principles Of
good working. Under-churned butter
when the buttermilk is withdrawn
while the grains are too small-is
often over-washed and overworked In
an attempt 10 gather II together. and
Is pale in color and deficient in flavor
when made up. OVERTURNED butter
gathers into irregular Jumps. greasy
looking and streaky. which cannot be
washed free from the buttermilk. and
so inclose too great an amount Of
casein. tending to lessen its keeping
qualities.
Opinions differ with regard to the
merits OF dry-salting vs.. brining. Dry.
sailed butter appears to hold more wa
ter than brined butter, but Il Is rather
that the water Is not so well incor
porated In many cases: its color a.
rule has deeper tint. In brining

WILL BRING THE
PEOPLE TO THE FAIR

Secretary of the Mesa County Fair
Association announces that he has
completed arrangements with Frank
A. Wadleigh, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Denver & Rio
Grande. for special service between
Palisade. Fruita and Grand Junction
during fair week.
On Tuesday. September "a, the
first day of the fair, a train will
leave Fruita at O'Clock in the morn
Ing, bring in a crowd of visitors, and
then proceed to Palisade. 1t will
leave Palisade for Grand Junction at
8 O'Clock, bringing down all who wish
to attend the fair. Thus both Pal
isade and Fruita people will be able
to put in the entire day at the
fair. The special train will make the
return trip in the evening: to Fruita
at z pm, and to Palisade at pm.
Thursday, September &c, the same
arrangement Will be employed. Tues
day will be "Fruita Day" at the fair
and Thursday will be "Palisade Day"
at the fair.
On Wednesday, September %, a
special train will be run to the city
from Glenwood Springs. On the
same day a special excursion train
will probably be run down the Mont
rose branch, bringing people from
Ouray, Montrose, Delta and other
towns in that section.
There is no question but what each
of these excursion trains will bring
great crowds into Grand Junction.
The interest in the Mesa County fair
is spreading all over the state.
The special train service is admir-
able and should prove immensely
satisfactory.
The round trip rate between Grand
Junction and Palisade and Fruita
Will be fifty cents. Correspondingly
low rates will prevail from Montrose,
Delta, Ouray, Glenwood and all 9TH
er points.
Hundreds and hundreds of people
will take advantage of these trains
to visit the best, biggest and most
successful fair ever held in western
Colorado.
