The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1909-08-16

But the time came when the county
fair became place OF cheap vaude-
vile stunts, Of professional exhibitors
and the fair ceased encouraging the
farmers who belonged in the neighbor-
hood. There was absolutely no rea-
son for 1t being called county fair
any longer except for the fact that the
county merchants raised the money to
60 to the professionals and the coun-
try people were expected to benefit
from the buying of the pink lemonade
vendors who went the circuit. All the
farmer got out Of the fair was a long
days sitting on benches watching
professional horsemen and buying peo-
nuts and cracker-jack for the younger
members OF the family.
The reason that the county fair fail
ed was because 1t did not give the
real patrons of such an institution
their share. It was degeneration
into what men could make out OF the
farmer instead of what the farmer
could get out of 1t. This has been
true all over the country. In some
conspicuous Instances the county fair
still does business because 1t has not
forgotten what its duty is. But the
day Ii mostly over for the fair. A
new era Is starting In all progressive
neighborhoods which gives the farmer
what hs ought to haye-A local com

THE PASSING OF THE COUNTY
FAIR

Time was when the county fair had
a mission In the community and full
filled it. Those were the golden days
when families loaded themselves into
the OVERLOOKING carry-alls and went
forth blithely in the crisp morning air
OF the fall along dusty roads. The
sides Of the roads were lined with
heavy boughed apple trees weighed
down with red apples and in the car
ry-all there was grave discussion as
to whether their apples and corn,
their colts. calves and the young
three-year-old that one Of the younger
sons had gentled. stood any chance in
the fair. For in those DAYS there
were no professionals and there was
rivalry among the neighborhood as to
who would carry off the ribbons and
the prizes.

CATHOLIC ACTIVITIES
Purchase of More Land at arawley Provides for School Site ard
 Psroehis Residence

Rev. F. Burelbsoh. the new priest in charge of the Imperial Valley Ro- man Catholic parish, has completed arrangements with the Catholics of Brawley for the purchase of lots ad- joining the church property in that city, giving them a tract 130ES2O feet.
 This land is purchased for the pur- pose of providing a site for a paru- chial residence and at q later period a parachial schosi.
 In every town Of Imperial Valley the Catholic population has largely increased during the past six months. until the work has become a great tax for one priest. and it Is probable that within a few months an assistant will be stationed here to assist Father Burelbacb.
 Rev. John Saver, first priest to la- Dor in Imperial Valley, who has been stationed for the past year missionary to the Indians on the Yuma Reserya- tion, has been called to Los Angeles, and has been made chaplain of the Mercy Home, an institution caring for the aged.
 When Bishop Conaty made his first visit to Imperial Valley last winter, he was accompanied by Very Rev. B. Gar iador, head of the Benedictine House at Montebello, and Rev. Raphael Fuhr, head of the Franciscdan House, in Los Angeles, and it now develops that these priests were here to look over the field with view of dividing cer- tain of this territory between the two orders. It is quite probable that one of these orders will start a founda- tion for work on the Yuma Indian Reservation. and as the Benedictines are fine gardeners and farmers they may secure this territory and use their scientific knowledge of agricul- ture in instructing the Indians after, they have received their five-acre aH lotments under the Laguna Dam c lamation Project 1t is also prol, ob,o that one of these orders will s.o-. work at Calexico.

CARRIAGES AND ONIONS
Former Crop Wu Be Cleared Up in
 TWO weeks and First Shipments or 7eeks Begin Monday.

s=ln1 s,erial Valley has struck 1t rich in cabbages this year. While the total shipments may not reach the original estimates, the maintainance of high price is of great bene1t to the cabbage growers of Fl Ce1tro and vicinity.
 It is in this district that the most extensive cabbage fields were plant ed The crop produced has demon strated that Imperial Valley is to take its place as one of the earliest cab bage growing districts. and another year will doubtless bring many more land owners into the cabbage busi- ness.
 Twenty-Five carloads have been shipped out from Bl Centro. or ap- proximately 675,B0o pounds of cab bage have gone from the station to the markets, mostly along the Pacific
Imperial Valley press., 1909-04-24

Coast. This weeks shipments have been sent to cities of the Middle West Two hundred and seventy crates can be packed In a car, and the crates weigh approximately 100 pounds each
 It Is believed that thlrty-five car loads of cabbage will be sent out be- fore the close of the season, and that cabbages will be brought In for ship ment for at least two weeks yet.
 The market price this week has been $SS per ton. net to the grower. The price during the season has reached S46 per ton
 Fifteen carloads of cabbage have been sent out from the Coachella Valley. and the crop there Is now cleaned up.
 This week the first onion ship ments will begin from El Centro. It Is estimated that from fifty to eighty carloads of onions will be sent out from Imperial Valley this season. Of this total. Fl Centro and vicinity will furnish thirty five carloads. Probably two carloads will be sent out from Calexico.
 The price for onions this week Is two cents per pound net to the grow CT. The cabbage and onion shipments from EI Cantro and from other val ley points are being handled by the Semi -Tropic Fruit and Produce Co.
 The cantaloupe growers of Mesa, Arizona. are planting their melon seed and the report is that their acreage will be about the same as that of last year. H. Woods Is to handle the ship ments and will advance forty cents per crate for all melons accepted.

RIGHT OF WAY SECURED
Obstacle in Way of Sewer construe- ton Removed, and Trustees Plan for New Rosdways and
 Streets.

An adjourned meeting of the City Trustees of El Centro met at the City Hall on Tuesday evening, with all members present except Trustee c. F. | Buttress
 President Pearson stated the object of the meeting to be making provision for rights of way for an ex- tension of the sewer from the sep tic tank to the sewer farm.
 A general discussion of the situa- ton followed. and finally an agree ment was made with c. A. Bradford, by which he proposes to give to the city a right of way across his land, northeast of the city in consideration of the city securing a road along the south line of the Holton Inter- Urban Railroad from the Dodwood Canal to streets now opened in the townsite, and he agreed to sign an easement for this right of way as soon as the road Is deeded to the city.
 City Attorney Conkling appeared before the board and detailed the con- ditions on which Dr. J. c. Blackinton proposed to give right of way for certain roads desired by the Trus- tees. Blackinton desires the opening of Third and Fourth streets through to his land north of the city as a Co tIz tnkst 4 e of way, and it was the expressed sen timent of the trustees, although no formal action was taken, that the op- ening of these two street northerly would be of direct benefit to the city.
 The discussion developed the fact that the cantaloupe packing shed on the west side of the Southern Paci- fic Railroad stands directly in the center of Fourth s..reet, and while the Trustees would not cGre to Wcrk 2 hardship on the owners of this shed by requiring it's removal they believe that a stree, should be opened around this building so as to give direct ac- cess to the proposed extension Of Fourth street.
 George H. Brooks, representing the Diebold Safe Company, appeared be- fore the Board and presented prop osition to sell to the city fire proof safe large enough to hold the city's books and records, delivered at El Centro, for $295. payment for same to be deferred until January 1, 1910.
 The Finance Committe and City Clerk were authorized to investigate the safe offered and to purchase t if they 80 desired.

TRAIN SERVICE POPULAR.

The new night train service to Los Angeles Is proving popular in Imper- ial Valley. The first train going out from the valley that carried sleeper left on Monday night, and the demand was so great for berths that two sleepers could have been sold out. Each evening during the week has shown many persons ready to patron ize the sleepers and 1t is probable that more cars will soon be put on the run. Hotel men say that they note an increase in the number of Los Angeles men coming to the valley since the inauguration of the new train service.
