ATTEND THE FAIR
An Invitation, and Reasons Why
South Dakotans Should be Loyal
to Their Fair.
To the People of South Dakota:

~ eAN - NNPiN VI N1outh i(obo'os
The South Dakota State Board of
Agriculture invites you to attend at
least one day, and more if possible, at
the 1908 state fair, to be held in the
city of Huron, commencing Septem-
ber 7th and closing September llth.
Monday, September 7th, will be given
to putting everything in readiness for
the main day of the fair-Tuesday,
September Sth. The board has la
bored to give the people of this state
the best money can obtain in gather
ing together the states resources in
one place so we can all see the mag
nitude, as well as quality of what our
state produces. No State in the
Union offers today what we can in
grains, livestock, mineral products
and educational facilities and no bet
ter way to demonstrate to the world
than through the active support of
its own people to this interest.
We urge all who can to attend any
such exposition, wherever held, if not
at a period conflicting with our own
dates.
A coterie of men operating a cor
poration for profit in a city in an adj
joining state, that has for years de-
pended upon this great common
wealth for its support and trade, have
again fixed their dates to conflict
with ours. The business men in that
city have made statement after state
ment to our people, that were against
the operating and continuing of said
fair IN opposition to the South Da
kota state fair, but for years have
permitted this act to continue without
one open attempt to adjust it. The
business interests of Sioux City are
not sincere or they are party to
this continuous attempt to rob South
Dakota of what is her own We do
not believe in boycott nor harsh lam
gauge, but we do believ,, in South Da-
kota having it's own.
The South Datota State Board of
Agriculture would like to have the
newspapers of this state make deter
mined effort through their columns
condemning the act of the Sioux CITY
corporation. their assistance should
be given instead of year after year
plastering the state with advertising
matter, attracting our people from its
own. Let our people make it point
to attend their own state fair in pre-
ference, and to urge all Others to do
so, and to condemn, wherever pos
sible, the acts of said city. That our
people send their exhibits to their
own state fair and not to city that
has no respect for what has been its
best customer. We know our people
are loyal to their own interests, and
this appeal is made for the purpose of
enlightening them on the true con
ditions, and that they will, by their
active support of the South Dakota
State Fair. rebuke the continuous
abuse from our neighboring city.

The state board of railroad com
missions went to st. Paul last week
to confer with the Minnesota author
ities relative to establishing grades
for grain. Judging by last year they
might as we'll have used a postal card
and secured copy of the Minnesota

the expense of the trip.

CLOSES ENGAGEMENT HERE
AND STARTS ON ROAI

Last night. with a presentation of
"Esmeralda, the Orpheum Stock
Company, made up of well known
actors and actresses of st. Louis and
Kansas City and organized some two
months ago by j. b. Boyer, manager
of the Auditorium in this city. closed
the most successful engagement that
any stock or repertoire company ev-
er enjoyed in Grand Junction.
Today the company left the city
for Montrose, where it will play all
this week; and then it will begin a
tour of the state, playing in many
towns and cities.
The Orpheum company during the
six weeks it played at the Auditor
ium presented in most capable man
ner large number of standard
plays. There were very few nights
during the long engagement on
which there was not large audiences
in attendance at the Auditorium
The company became immensely pop
ular. Every play was admirably pre-
sented, and the speciality people car
ried by the company are certainly
richly talented Su
The company's members made
many friends here. They are all true
ladies and gentlemen
Manager Boyer certainly has sue
ceeded in getting most capable
company together. 1t is easily one
of the best stock companies ever seen
in western Colorado.

CHILD REPORTED POISONED
FROM EATING BERRIES

II was reported that the little
child OF Mr.. and Mrs. Lon Bradbury,
residing on Teller avenue, had been
dangerously poisoned from eating
berries pulled by the child from some
shrubbery growing in the yard. on
Saturday. Yesterday the child was
in very critical condition.
DR.. A. G. Taylor, after examining
the suffering little one, stated that
the child was apparently suffering
from spasmodic Group and did not
give much credence to the poisoning
of the child by the berries which the
little fellow had eaten on more than
one occasion during the past few
days.
While the child is still very ill, 1t
is believed that he will recover.

OF
THE MACHINE

The combination made by Sem
ator DeLong, Judge A. X. King,
--ilIard Fairlamb and other
western slope Iieutenants of
Simon Guggenheim, to fulfil the
wishes of the republican ma
chine by defeating Merle ID. Vim
cent, the fearless young Delta
county representative who was
seeking a denomination for that
office, proved successful.
Vincent pays the price for voting
against Guggenheim and thereby
obeying the wishes of three-fourths
of tie people of colorado. The bosses
said his head must come off. How
ever, the end is not yet. The people
may speak at the polls and in a no
uncertain manner senu Vincent back
TO the Legislature.
Inc returns from the primaries
held Saturday evening snow that
Welsh, the Guggenheim opponent of
Vincent, has 60 votes in the conven-
tion while Vincent has but AZ.
The fight was bitter and Vincent
and his followers have sworn out
warrants against several people
charged with voting Democrats at the
primaries. 1t is said the combined
vote of Welsh and Vincent at the
primaries exceeded the vote of the
democratic and Republican nominees
at the last election. There were sharp
personal conflicts in every precinct.
Vincent. it is reported, will run for
representative on an Independent
ticket.
Reports received by The Sentinel
today indicate that Welch's majority
or delegate votes is only 2, as shown
by complete reports from all pre-
cincts. Welch seems to have 54 and
Vincent So. Vincent may yet get
the nomination for the majority is
uncomfortably small for Welch.

that the sentiment for the propsl-

For years the barricades that nature had erected dis eouraged possible development but on one eventful day. the gates at the pass es swung ajar the world conquering iron horse pushed it's nose through and the Salt River Valley became the most potent valley in all of the great south west.
 To the eternal hills these people looked for their help, and to these hills they continue to look. for therein lies their strength, their relief. Gushing from the mountain canyons were found living streams which, impounded and wisely distributed, have caused nature to revive. and today the valley can be compared only to the vista that lay spread out before the Children of Is- real as they, for the first time viewed from the mountain crest, the Promised Land. Nor is this simile only appro- priate to round out d sentence or a stroke intended to add color or effect to a picture.

deficient in color and flavor
 Second, the wonderful keeping qual- 'ities. The Arizona orange being grown in an almost dry climate, the fruit can be bought and held for weeks and even months with little or no loss from decay. thus encouraging the deal CT to purchase this brand and hold it for his special trade.
 The Arizona crop was very popular in the East this year and retailed readily at from 25 to 40 cts. more per dozen than did either the California or Florida product. and the Association could have handled 10000 cars as readily and at as high prices as they did the 115 cars, shipped. The gen eral manager of the Association. Mir Fleming. showed the writer many let ters from consignees. stating that the fruit was the finest ever offered on their market and apoligizing for the smallness of the returns, which was largely due to the newness of the brand. Buyers for a while confound- ed it with the California product, but it did not take the consumer long to appreciate the difference and then the dealer began clamorlnC for that Ari- zona orange, and 10000 cars could have been disposed of at prices large ly in excess of the price received. What was shipped only introuced the brand and it takes no prophet or a son of a prophet to fortel a net re- turn of possibly s4.00 per box to the Salt River Valley grower next year.
 The Desert" and the Cactus" brands are now established and a de- mand is already made for them. Next season they will be known and sought after as soon as they show on the market. There is perhaps no test as exacting as that made by the eastern | trade and when it is willing to place l a higher price on Arizona fruit than | on any other. it does so because it | the fruits superiority over | on the market.

During nearly the whole year the valley is aglow with blooms. green with broad acres of pasture lands. golden with the ripening grain crop. like unto ancient Judea, it has d thous- and herds on the thousand hills sur rounding it, or wading and feeding belly deep in the splendid pastures of alfalfa. In the early months of the year the air is laden with the scent of the sweet smelling flower of the golden fruit presenting a condition intoXicat- ing to every sense and prompting the spirit response of Tt Is good to be here"
 And all of this splendid development has had its effect on the commercial. social and industrial life of the valley. In all directions the land has been brought under cultivation. as more water has been developed. until with the finishing of the governments pro iect, now nearly completed. the whole desert will be swallowed up and made 10 produce more than it's quota of worlds wealth.
 Real estate values have doubled in three years, and today any kind of a buy in the valley is a good buy; for just as sure as season follows season, land values will increase from one hundred to five hundred per cent in the next five years. Why should they not? ? Here the very best orange producing land in tke world can be bought at from $1O0 to s20O per acre. while in California where an inferior fruit to ours is raised, good citrus land, un- improved. is worth from $500 to $700 per acre ;and our grower receives more net for his crop than does the California grower receive gross. If land that raises oranges that net S5 cents per box to the grower. is worth S450 per acre in California. what is land worth in Arizona that will pro duce oranges that net the grower $500 per box? Some may question this statement and ask why the difference? It is easily explained Because of our extremely hot summer, the naval orange reaches it's maturity here in December and goes on the eastern market with no competition other than the green, sour bleached oranges of
