The Wageworker is not in favor of
the Davenport tract site for a new
high school building Not because of
liability to foods on the tract itself,
but because every heavy fall of dew
makes an island of the tract. Fur

FREDERICK FAIR OPENS.

With perfect weather, the forty
ninth annual fair of the Frederick
County Agricultural Society began
Tuesday with every prospect for a
great success. A clear, crisp autumn
morning gave the opening day send
off that gladened the hearts of the
managers and sent the initial attend
an,e beyound the figures of the first
day for a number Of years.
Shortly after 10 O'Clock President
Humm and the directors assembled
in front of the City Hotel in carriages
and parade was formed headed by
the Woodsboro band. Following
came Chief Marshal Charles Hiteshew
and large number Of aids on horse
back. The procession marched to
the grounds, where President Humm
formally declared the big show open.
The usual cavalcade of live stock
around the racetrack followed, wit
messed by large number of owners
and exhibitors from the grandstand.
At O'Clock the crowd was esti-
mated at about 1000 persons, with a
steady stream pouring into the
grounds.
In exhibits the fair is easily the
best for long time.
The household department, always
the pride of the fair, contains about
$500 entries. In bread, butter, cake,
preserves, wines, dried fruits and
canned goods the entries aggregate a
total of 800. Amateur growers
have entered 1000 punches of cut
flowers.
Not in the history of the fair have
the farm and garden and genealogical
departments shown such a display
Exhibitors have bushels of apples,
potatoes and corn that cannot be dis
played on account of limited space.
There are 400 entries of apples, COW
ering more than forty varieties. The
largest exhibitor is Frand Laken who
shows 16 varieties. Thomas Haugh

atoes; Lee Dutrow Is varieties of

d. Shriner 80 entries; A. l.. Ward
en- 20 entries and McCleery Wiles %.
Both buildings of the poultry de-
partment are crowded. Late en-
tries are exhibited on the outside
owing to want of space. Supcrintcnd-
ent Devilla British estimated his en-
tries at 4, 800, including foreign, do.
nestle and fancy fowls.

that being the first day for collection
of taxes this year, and County Treas
urer Bond and his assistants are now
started in the rush that will continue
for couple of months. It is anti
cipated the amount paid today will
be larger than that of Monday.
Dan Sinclair, former chairman of
the county commissioners, was the
first to appear in the office to pay his
taxes and was followed by Leroy
BROKER, city clerk. Before Treas
urer Bond could make out the nu-
merous receipts for Sinclair, who has
numerous properties on which to pay
taxes, the coveted first receipt of the
year had been issued to City Clerk
Brooker.
Treasurer Bond anticipates that
fully one-half OF the taxes will be
paid before March Is. This means
that the sum of $4,000 or therea-
bouts will be given into the hands
of the county treasurer before that
date, as the total taxes are nearly
$3.50, 900.

Five hundred acres of orchard and
vineyard, the largest enterprise OF the

made in connection with the selec-
ton of Robert H Morgan as manager
and the letting Of contract for clear
ing and breaking to Contractor Au
miller, who has established a camp
on the property.
Unusual interest attaches to this
enterprise, as the land that is to be
planted will be arranged in park
form, conforming TO the contours of
the land and will be the home of
the most influential financial men
and leading writer's Of the east. These
parties have become Interested in
the Yakima valley through the efforts

ton ditch, instead of being run

ing, and is along the same plans as
those used in California orchards and
at Charleston. An attempt Will be
made to secure arteSian water this
year to water the orchard for the
first season, and later this supply will
be used for domestic purposes.
