A1aska's Exhibits

Mir. Mcbride, the exposition commls- sioner for Alaska, has returned 10 this city with his staff aud reports that all of the work that could be done in the north in the way of collecting exhibits for the exposition has already been ac- complished, and that what remains to be done is principally the assembling here and the preparing of the exhibits. The exhibits, he says, will have many surprises for visitors, and the reports of the special agents who have been get ting them together are more than sat- isfactory. The exhibits will be coming in here rapidly from every point in the north, and, added to what has already arrived, will keep the entire staff busy receiving, classifying and putting the articles in shape.
 Mrs. Hart, the woman commissioners, has likewise returned from Alaska with a similar report aud says that the ex- hibit which will be made by the Alaska women will surprise even the residents of Alaska who attend the exposition. Clubs have been formed all over South eastern Alaska to aid in the work, and the interest is universal.
 Such showings as these are convinc- ing proof that the exposition will make the record, confidently anticipated here, of opening at the day set, with every building completed and all of the exhibits installed, with nothing re. maining to be done to complete any portion of the exposition in any detail.
 The showing which Alaska is to make will be the feature of the exposition. It is that which is certain to attract the most attention. Indeed, the Alaska feature of the exposition is that which is expected to bring the most visitors here, because interest in and curiosity about the great northern territory has been widespread ever since the discov- cries on the Klondike first attracted the attention of the world.
 The success of this part of the expo- sitiou is practically assured, judging by the reports made by the commis- sioners charged with the duty of col lecting exhibits.-P.-I.

About once . month the Oddfsllows Of
Rocky Ford have smoker" or social
evening. when the regular business is
put through in a hurry so that few
hours may be spent in social enjoyment.
As result there is goodly attendance
at the meetings. But the one Of Tuesday
night was a record d-breaker. the spacious
hall being filled to overfowing with homo
and visiting members.
OF course there was special doin's,
the new work Of the first degree being
put on in splendid shape by the Fowler
team. The snap and ginger Of this de-
gree team is noted throughout the valley,
and they were in especially fine form on
Tuesday night, and when they got through
with the trembling tyros there was no.
thing more to be desired. so It's said.
After the degree work and some talk
a splendid lunch was served in the ban =
quet rooms and was greatly enjoyed by
all.
About thirty visitors were down from
Fowler and half as many more from
Manzanola and La Junta. and they were
SO well treated that they promised tc
come again.

The Rocky Ford Auto Club has been in

ANOTHER PARK
May Help to Beautify Our Little City
In the Near Future.


A proposition was presented to the
city council on Tuesday evening that it is
hoped may result in the requirement for
park purposes Of two-aere tract in
Garden Place. or more properly the
southeastern corner Of the city.
The project was brought to the atten-
ton Of the council by a committee from
the southeastern section. who had assur-
anee from a couple Of public spirited eiti-
zens-Messrs Rex and Dukes to be exact
that they would dispose Of a block of
their ground to the city for a very small
sum, IL the property would be used for
park purposes.
Many excellent reasons were advane ed
in support Of the proposition, such as the
well-known fact that Rocky Ford
though better supplied than some neigh =
boring towns is lamentably short on its
supply Of these public beauty spots: that
we cannot have too many parks and
shady nooks in land Of almost perpetual
sunshine: that there are now but few
adaptable tracts within the city confines,
and when one is offered for less than
one-ouarter Of its value it should be
taken advantage Of.
The council appeared to be greatly in
favor Of the prope sition. but Of course
could not take any immediate action fur
ther than 10 turn the matter over to the
Streets and Alleys board for invsstiga-
ton.

SIXTH DAY.

Saturday was poultry day at the
course, and they had several differ
ent kinds of chickens there to talk
about. The day was most interest
ing and instructive to those who are
at all interested in the raising OF
poultry.
The following paper on profit in
Chickens" was read bv Mrs. G. |.
Miller:
Early in the spring of 1908 my hus-
band and myself decided to go into
the poultry business on a small scale.
We then had to decide on what kind
of incubators and brooders we would
use. After looking into the matter
from all angles we soon decided on
what we thought would suit our pur-
nose best. The most important thing
was yet to decide. What kind OF
chickens would VIC raise? Everything
took an outlay of money and not hav-
ing any experience in poultry rails
ing. didn't know whether we would
~ct any returns for our money and
work. We could get eggs from mix
cd chickens verv cheap and was quite
a temptation till we would see If we
could have success.
We both had a strong desire to
