NJ. MacCwraig and Tague Locket re-
turned Wednesday from fishing trip
In the hills. 1t is reported that their
meat supply ran low compelling them
to return sooner than they expected.
1t appears that they had a slab of
bacon in their grub box which was
sampled at times when the supply Of
fish ran low, which was quite frequent
on account of the muddy condition OF
the streams. The fishermen became
careless in the matter Of securely
fastening the opening in the tent and
one night as they slumbered and slept
bear came in and took the bacon.

Judging from what we have seen and
from reports brought in from the
orchards of this county the fairs and
fruit shows of the state are going to be
one-sided affairs this fall. Montezuma
county fruit will capture everything in
the shape Of premiums and prizes.
The other counties of the state might
just as well cut out the expense of TAX
ing fruit display to the State or Inte-
State fairs or the apple show, Not
withstanding this, however, the very
best fruit that it is possible to obtain in
the county should be put on exhibition
at these fairs and fruit shows. Not
that 1t will be necessary to have the
best in order to capture the premiums
but that the wonderful possibilities Of
Montezums county may be shown to
the best advantage.
