THE FAIR A SUCCESS.
Everything as Advertised and on
Schedule Time.-Lady Laurel and
May Bird Had Long Contest for
First MOney.-Great Cavalcade of
Prize Winning Horses and Cattle.

Shortly after FIVE o'clock last Thursday
afternoon Chester A. Pike, official starter,
megaphoned the message across to the
grand stand that the 63d annual Gale
donia County Quick Pulsed) fair was
over and upward of 5000 people reluc'
tantly made their way from the grounds.
That the fair was the most successful
ever pulled off by the association was
the consensus of opinion. Everything
was carried out just as advertised, and
what was even better, on schedule time.
President Kicker and Secretary Hastings
were everywhere present, and with the
assistance of large corps Of superinten-
tendents, kept the ball rolling from
Tuesday morning till Thursday night.
Tuesday was chiefly taken up with the
Judging of blooded cattle and the attend
ance as usual was small.
On Wednesday things early took on
different appearance. The grounds be-
gan to fill up after the 9 o'clock train
| from the north and from then until after
noon the crowd that continued to pour
in was variously estimated at from
5000 to 10000.
! The racing was not called until one
| o'clock, but the fakirs row, merry.go-
round, circular wave and stage attrac-
tions as we'll as band concerts, helped to
keep the pulse we'll above normal. About
noon few of the wisest began to pick
out locations near the wire in the grand
stand. They were the vanguard OF a
small army that crowded and nudgeo
closer and closer until the stand woulc
hold not another one and several were
standing in front when President Kicker
ordered the sale of tickets stopped.
The racing began promptly at on,
o'clock. The ftst event was the 2.4(
pace and 3.35 trot, which brought out
field OF FIVE starters, and furnished som
OF the best sport of the fair. Five heat
were required to settle it. Ray Carr
driven by McShane. landed the first tw'
in walk, while driver Taylor by mail
strength, kept Lady Laurel, bought tw'
. years ago for hackney, in second place
Taylors work was noticed in the judge
stand and the third heat showed Bo
Thompson of the Spencer stables, c
Newton, Mass, up. The next three wer
the little chestnut's by good leads an,
Thompson tucked $25 away in hi
Jeans, the same to be deducted from tn
first money won by Lady Laurel. Genel
al, owned by Adams and Adams, was th
only localhorse in Wednesdays program
He found the going little fast and wa
drawn after the second heat
The 2.1S stake pace was Oradelps
straight heats, the only teaming bein
for second place, Russell Grattan, Lee
;; up, landing it.
After dropping two heats to Commc
dore Bingen in the $50 stake pace Ma
Bird walked away with the next thre
and the race. The thirteen heats of til
afternoon kept the people in their seat
until six o'clock, but all agreed that the
were we'll repaid tor staying. II

Aside from the harness racing the cav
alcade of premium horses and cattle led
by the St. Johnsbury band, was an inter-
esting feature. There were in line over
40 horses, besides 66 yoke OF oxen, AT
woke belonging to W. A. Kicker, and 101
blooded cattle. The line was half mile
long and certainly presented a beautiful
panorama, as it stretched entirely
around the track.
The stage attractions were also good,
especially the bicycle acts by the Bessie
Veldare troupe. If, as announced, this
attraction was personally secured by the
president, it proves conclusively that his
good taste is not by any means confined
to live stock
| Prof. c. c. Bonette delayed his balloon
! ascension until FIVE o'clock on account OF
strong wind, and it was in every way
success. As he left the ground suspend
ed by his teeth a mighty cry of There
he goes" rent the air and thousands of
necks were craned to see him cut loose
from the big bag, and again the cry was
repeated when he shot down IN his para
chute. He landed in safety near the
scale factory, about mile from the
start and the bag was found on Main
street.
Another act, not down on the pro
gram, but which proved to be one of the
best of the fair, was the exhibition o
trained steers by Kenneth S. Flint. The
steers, owned by George c. Cary, arr
two-year olds and have been trained by
the well-known firm of Cary & Flint
aged respectively nine and 13 years
After putting the animals through
several astonishing stunts, such as jump
ing over bar and posing on their knee
for the spectators, one of them mounte'

session a pocket piece and imitation

ognized as his.
There had been taken from him

stable Murphy Lares said that he
knew nothing about the affair: he
was at home asleep all night. But

connected him with the crime and
after he had been sweat awhile he
admitted that he was present, but
he had taken no part in the robbery

Before ne was wide awake, the job
was completed and he saw two men
running away. He ran after them
when they devided. He could not
pursue both, but he was fortunate in
choosing the one that had the Doodle.
Mccarthy was gaining on him and
the fugitive lost more time by
throwing his plumber away. Mccarthy
called to him to stop, threatening to
shoot and the fugitive having emp
tied his pockets of all discriminating
matter did so. On coming up with
him, Mccarthy knocked him down and
took him to Jail, where, on account
of the fact that Mccarthy was not an
officer and was without a warrant,
the prisoner was not received.
Mccarthy took him away on a
search for an officer, holding pos
session of him until he got tired, he
learned his name and took good
look at him. Later Mccarthy brought

SOMETHING ROTTEN
Either Cabbages or the Business Meth
 ods of Commission Men.

There are many peculiar not to say suspicious, circumstances surrounding the handling of the cabbage crop that any amount of explaining will hardly explain. The crop was harvested in April but no reports could be oh tained until July, nearly three months later. The prices given out by the commission men at various times dur ing April ranged from $3S to S46 per ton and in spite of the fact that cab bage was selling at these figures the grower gets little or no returns.
 Now the commission men come to the front with the belated and thread bare story about stock being received fin bad condition" rejected on ac- count of aphis." sold for freight" /" etc. That there is something rotten in Denmark" goes without saying.

PALMS FOR VALLEY
Seeds of Several Mexican Varieties Brought to El centro for Ex-
 pertinent.

Imperial Valley is to be enriched by several new specimans of palms, says the Los Angeles Times.
 Virgil Owen, son of R, c. Owen, of the United States District Court, who recently returned from the Territory of Topic, on the west coast of Mexico, brought back seeds of palms of species not known here Some of these are to be sent to Imperial Valley.
 One of the new varieties Of palm, known as the "Coquita" has very ornamental foliage, grows to height of sixty feet, and produces nut high " prized by the natives of Topic. This nut, in general formation, is like an English walnut. It is prized for it's oil. which is eighty-five per cent of the kernel.
 Many families in Topic make their living by gathering nuts, and extract ing the oil, which is sent to San Bias and Los Penas,. where soap factories and table oil companies are located.
 Another tree to be grown in El Centro is the thorny palm, which has 6 small trunk and leaf much like that of the magnolia tree, but not so thick This also produces a nut of commercial value.
 The Mexican almond said to be much hardier than the American spe- cies will also be experimented with in Imperial Valley.
 F. G. Ravens, City Clerk has brought the seeds to El Centro.

NORTH END IRRIGATION

The North End Water Company is finishing the work of placing a head gate in the Alamo river a few miles below and west of the railpoad bridge, by means of which water may be di- yerted to about 10000 acres of land north of the third standard parallel. The organizers of the company are claimants of land in that region and have reclaimed some of it. It is ex- pected that irrigation in that region will De under way early the coming fall, making possible the growing of crops during the coming season.
