Grains, and vege tables that comprised
an optical feast, while in the stock pa
vilions were the best that intelligence
and painstaking care can produce.
Never before in the history of this part
of the state, has such care been exer-
cised in selection. nor has the interest
in like event ever been SO wide
spread. The good that comes from
such events, will in this instance,
radiate out and go way beyond the con-
fines of the project proper, for people
were here from Reno in large number,
from Lovelocks, Winnemucea, and a
dozen other state points, in addition to
a number from outside the state, and
the comprehensive fair showing formed
conclusive proof that here is an empire

There was no promiseuous grouping.
but rather studied effort on the part
of the fair management for the best
obtainable, and the best is the unani-
nous verdict of the hundreds who came
and viewed the crops of the valley
epitomized. And to the fair manage
ment is due unstinted praise. Labor
was devoted unselfishly to the common
cause and no reward accrued to those
behind the event, save that which
comes to the man who is conscious of
having well and faithfully performed a
duty to his fellows.
The future plans of the fair associa-
tion include the widening of the scope.
of working more in concert and i'm
proving from year to year, the fair
meetings, with the end in view, that in
this manner the valleys products may
have proper place in the esteem of the
outside folks, who have hitherto re-
garded this valley as barren desert,
fit for little. To encompass this end,
no local man who has the interests of
the section at heart can afford to re-
fuse his honest support. Even the
great state of Nevada may well appro-
pirate sums for the aid of the fair
meetings, thus making it possible for
the outside world to know of this Gar
den of Hesperdes, where the joy of
living may be joined to the most liberal
rewards of husbandry.
Should we, in the manner of the Sob
er statstician, indulge in few facts
surrounding the production of our soils,
particular those relating to alfalfa,
potato and onion culture, the unac-
quainted would regard our efforts in
the light of gross exaggeration. But
if facts were backed, as was the in
stance last week, by a grouping of
products, including prodigious toma-
toes, potatoes, cahbsges, celery,
squash, corn, melons, fruits and what
not, then the proof is In actual sight
and an array of facts and figures is in
such instances unnecessary.
The races attracted the largest
crowd that ever assembled in this val
ley for any similar event. The half
mile straight away track was in fine
condition. The first event was the
pacing race, the enteres being Kid B,
owned by J. G. Lofthouse, Little Light,
owned by Budd Williams, and Spud,
owned BY L. L. Leonard. Kid B took
two straight heats, tie Leonard horse
