Grand Junction has not as much as
usual and although what they have
/ is good IL is not as elaborate as has
| been customarily seen in the Grand
Junction booths in past years.

display more in the nature of horti-
cultural display although they have
some splendid fruit, Their cucum-
bers, pumpkins. watermelons. carrots,
potatoes, beets, mangoes, corn, etc,
is unsurpassed. The fruit although
not displayed in large quantities is
easily up to the standard 1t is COM
| posed of apples, plums and pears in
the main.
Pomona's Elaborate Show.
] The Pomona exhibit is more elab-
orately displayed than any other:
that is, more pains have been taken
TO make the fruit show up attractive
| ly. Two large pyramids or columns
! from the display counters to the cell
ing of the booth have been papered
with green tissue and these are dotted
with various varieties of apples. The
counters are then given over TO the
plate exhibits and to the boxes of
fruit. Competition is sure to be very
keen between Pomona and the other
leading displays for first honors. Po-
mona has a larger variety of fruit
probably than any other section and
more than a small amount of each
is in evidence.
The Floral Display.
The floral display in the center of
the building is very beautiful Not
only are the professional florists ex-
hibiting but entrees have been made
from all sections of the valley. Some
of the most noticeable flowers were
the Dahlias, Snapdragons, Sweet Peas,
Holly Hooks, Roses of all tints and
varieties, Oleanders, Glad olios, Ger
aniums. Fuchias and Pansies.' They
were sprinkled in among smilax.
ferns, palms and other green's
Going upstairs on the north the
first display is that of the Starks-
Hayden Photographic and art display
1t is splendid and many times ELECTED
remarks of admiration from the Wis
iting throngs.
Turning to the left is the canned
fruit The first collection is that of
the Western Sugar & Land Co. pre-
served by Mrs. E. A. Johnson. 1t is
to demonstrate that there is no better
sugar manufactured for preserving
fruit than the beet sugar as manu-
factured in Grand Junction and the
purpose is successfully accomplished.
The pretty shade of the fruit, the uni
form bottles and the neat labels make
pretty and artistic picture. The
syrups and jellies are as clear as
crystal and it speaks well for the
beet sugar as sold here Next comes
the individual entries of canned fruit
and to say that they are up 10 the
~ uu1 tfVh s.Va a
valley Mothers cooking is as high
praise as can be bestowed. and 1t is
very true. One feature of the West
ern Sugar & Land Co.'S display was
the sample bottles of the process of
sugar making. This demonstrated
each step in the making of sugar
from the raw beet to the pulverized
and powdered article as put on the
market.
The Bakery Goods.
Next come the bakery exhibits and
this is poor place to linger about
noon time when one is hungry as they
are enclosed in glass cases and it is
impossible to get at them. The ex-
hibits surround a beautiful wedding
cake and almost every creation of the
pastry art is represented
Next to the bakery exhibit is that
of the Bradbury Harness & Saddle
Co. A magnificent saddle elaborately
slammed and carved forms the center
OF the exhibit The counter is COW
cred with handsome and luxurious
h'a"tets cf ieep and rich colors and
pretty designs. A handsome bride
nnd rair IF cuffs complete the show.
1t is very good one.
The next exhibit is probably more
interesting to the majority of the vis-
ttOrs than any other 1t is that of the
work of the Grand Junction schools
from kindergarten to the high school.
1t has been the center of interest
among all classes most of the day. 1t
does credit to any school the size of
the Grand Junction high school and
1t is credit to Grand Junction.
Artistic Displays.
At the end of the hall is the art
exhibit of Photographer F. E. Dean
and it is good sample of his excel
lent work. Among the numbers are
several pieces that have taken prizes
in state and national contests and 1t
is most creditable exhibition.
The Mesa Wall Paper Co. and the
Singer Sewing Machine Co. are both
represented with strong Industrial
disnlays.
The part of the entire exhibit which
catches the artistic feminine eye as
well as that of the gentleman OF
artistic tastes and handicraft is in the
northeast corner of the building.
