Late this afternoon the Sixth An
nual Mesa County Fair, one of the
most successful ever held in the
county or in western Colorado was
brought TO a close and the big an
nual season of merriment, race meets
and fruit carnival, that has assisted
in making Grand junction and the
Grand valley famous, was at an end
for another year.
Today was Grand Junction Handi
cap Day, with the star racing pro-
gram of the week and this afternoon
over 5000 people gathered in the
grandstand and on the bleachers and
cheered the horses in the various
events.
The last day, like every other day
this week, was perfect in its weather
conditions and there was not one
thing to mar the pleasure of the day.
/ From early morning until late this
afternoon the various exhibits re-
ceived attention from many visitors,
few of the exhibits being dismantled
or removed until late this afternoon.
Today, like yesterday, there were
number of very distinguished WIS.,
itors at the fair.
Governor John F. Shafroth, Con-
gressman-at-Large Taylor and Con-
gresham Martin, from the second
district, were at the grounds all af-
ternoon and greatly enjoyed the
races.
From financial standpoint the
| fair has been very successful iar
more SO than the fair last year when
two days and the biggest days at that,
were spoiled by rain. The visit of
| the president was worth several thou
sand dollars to the fair association.
During the four days total of
about 5000 admissions were re-
| corded at the gates of the Mesa
County Fair association. which is a
very excellent attendance but almost
two-thirds of this attendance was re-
corded yesterday, the day the presi-
dent visited the grounds.

Will be to safeguard the industry

industry in the Philippines. in compc-
tition with the United States, Pro
tests were made against the provision
in the PAYNE bill for the free admission
Of 100000 gross tons Of sugar annually
from the islands, on the ground that
the porvision does not prevent the adj
mission of a much larger quantity of
what would amount to a reduced rate
for the whole. by reason Of the shippers
proportionating the free export sugar,
so that each would receive a benefit.
In other words. 100000 tons would
come in at half the prescribed rates,
or 100 900 at a reduction Of 25 per cent
OF the established rate
Beet sugar producers claim that. the
industry in the Philippines would be
developed to such an extent that even
such reduction in the rate would
bring unfair competition to the indus
try in this country.
The sugar schedule was referred by
the senate committee to substitute

and Flint.
They agreed to give the senators
