cial entry for not an article is en-
tered which is not first-class or well
i'll keeping with the reputation of
Mesa county's exclusive reputation.
Walking toward the north, next
in line is the orchard Mesa section.
The most striking feature of this is
the monster display of Jonathan and
Grimes Golden apples. Forming
tepee at the top of the exhibit and
facing each way are 32 boxes of the
Two varieties. alternating "a box of the
golden and then the red apple. This
exhibit also has a fine display of
grapes and plums, almonds, etc.
In the corner of the building is a
handsome collection of farm produce,
grains, hay. seeds. peanuts, squash,
almonds, etc.
In the center of the building is the
floral display of the city II is a
beautiful exhibition and makes the
entire building fragrant
Palisade occupies the corner on the
northeast Contrary to what would
be expected. the display is not com
posed principally of peaches but con-
tains more entries of grapes, apples,
plums. etc, than the official fruit
of that district
DeBeque is next in line and her
showing is also a surprise not only
from the excellence but abundance of
fruits On looking over her resources
a person would be inclined TO expect
more grains and vegetables than
fruit, but, while she has these to the
hearts content, she also has beau
tiful display of fruits. Among the
collection are magnificent specimens
of grain, cabbage, beets. rhubarb,
squash, potatoes and alfalfa.
Plateau valley is located next to
DcBeque, Her exhibition is indeed
revelation and besides very res
pectable collection of fruits has CEN
tered her efforts in garden and farm
products, such as tomatoes. pump
kins, carrots, potatoes, corn, beets,
etc
Pomona occupies the next corner
in the tour of the building. Her fruit
exhibit is one OF the largest and per-
haps the best tthat is, to be decided
by the judges, in the building. A
miniature electric line has been con-
structed and Pomona is spoken of as
'lnterurban Grand Junction" The
electric line feature is making great
hit. She has large entry of boxed
apples and also a splendid garden
exhibit such as egg plant, crook
necked quash. citrons, etc. One of
the features of the collection is
mammoth field squash bearing the
inscription, which has been grown
into the skin. Pomona to Taft"
Fruita's exhibit was composed in
the main of fruit, especially apples,
but their exhibit of grain and farm
produce was as fine as any other line.
Wheat. large squashes, pumpkins,
watermelons, beets, etc, were the
features of the showing and the ex-
hibit was one of the best which was
ever presented from that district,
which is to say the least high praise.
In the gallery the displays are
dedicated more to the industrial or
craft work of the community Pho
tografer Dean has a fine exhibition
of his work among which is a big
photograph of the Peach Day Queen,
Miss Swisher of Palisade.
Next is the exhibit of the Mesa
Paint, and Wall Paper Co. 1t also
makes good showing.
In the center of the west gallery
is an unexcelled exhibition of the
Pomona schools 1t would be hard
did qualifications of this. On either
side of the collection of arts and
studies is a huge tapering column
of apples. An inscription in the CEN
ter reads Pomona Schools. BY their
fruits ye shall know their"
Kraft & Emerson have the next
booth and have decorated it in beau
tiful style. 1t contains samples of
| their stock. etc.
The individual canned fruit entries
are next, and IL would take a week
to attempt to describe in any fitting
measure the sight which meets the
eye. 1t makes your mouth water to
look upon it.

is found the handicraft and needle
work of the ladies. One display is
