company, who was in town this morn
ing, some interesting facts we're
cleaned in relation to the condition
of affairs in the new fruit growing
section northwest of this city. AS a
starter Mr.. White stated that every
thing was looking fine and that the
outlook was most encouraging. Hor-
ticulture in the vicinity of Penrose is
destined to become a great industry,
according to Mr.. White, and he con-
siders the man luckily who holds title
to ten acres of land in that highly
favored territory.
II do not know" continued Mr..
White, "just how many apple and
other fruit trees were set out in the
Beaver Park country last spring. but
they numbered many thousands and

A SUGGESTION TO THE CIVIC

cur the Fremont County Fair at the

and progressiveness already exhibit
ed by those in charge Of the fair. aid
ed by the resources Of this rich valley

years efforts will meet with unequAl-
ed success. On every hand the execu-
tive board are meeting with q willing
co-opration.
All these signs of success indicate q
great influx OF strangers into this
city for several days and It behooves
us, IL we would have them leave with
good Impressions Of our municipality.
to make the same as interesting and
attractive as possible.
And there is room for improvement
in this direction. Only today. in pass
ing along Eighth street. the principal
thoroughfare between the business
section and the fair grounds. whers
now a large number Of vacant lots in
which weeds have been allowed TO run
riot Only a little effort on the part OF
the property owners in this section
will make 1t attractive, where now II
shows want Of care and neglect. Per
haps suggestions from the Civic I'm
provement League, who have already
accomplished so much in this direc-
ton would accomplish the desired re-
suit.

difficult one or a very expensive one.
There are two big lines running out Of
Seattle to Alaska. They make two
general tourist trips. One Of about II

and go on out over the high seas to
Cordova, valdes. Seward and Port
Graham. This takes one to the ex-
treme southwestern point Of the Al
askan mainland and gives one q
touch OF real high life on the billowy
seas. The short trip costs $66 and the
21-day trip $40. which includes meals
and berth.
