TWENTY YEARS AGO
Organization and First Officers OF Ar
kansas Valley Fair Association

Watermelon day having been such a
paenominal success the Arkansas Valley
Fair Association was organized on April
g, 1892. the primary purpose being to
carry along the big festival.
On May z. the board of directors met
and elected the following officers: Presi-
dent, Geo. w. Swink; Vice President, w.
A. Colt; Secretary. G, M. Hall; Assistant
Secretary, w. C. Steele. Treasurer, H.
M, Fosdlck.
The first Industrial fair was held Sept.
z to g. 1892, and Watermelon day was
Thursday. Sept. 8, when there was an
attendance estimated at 5000.
There were l,5oo melons in the pile
in the year 1892, and the luscious fruit
was as quickly disposed of as the 5000
in the huge pile this year of grace 1911.
A special feature on Melon Day was a
state band concert for grand prize given
by the Fair association, and for this oc-
casion the Santa Fe railroad was very
liberal hearted, all band members in uni
form being carried free.

gala day programs invite them, and
we had it this week.
The twentieth annual exhibition OF
the Arkansas Valley Fair association
was in its particular feature some
what stronger here and weaker there,
as it must be every year by reason Of
variable conditions in the area from
which it draws its life. Being in the
main an agricultural exhibition it
was, by reason OF the splendid crop
production OF this year, strong in the
best feature for which it stands-the
fruit, vegetable and cereal products.
The stock pens, too, were more
noteworthy feature this year than for
several seasons past, and it was clear
ly apparent that the farmers are real
izing the benefits of raising pure bred
animals. This was particularly notice
able in the swine department.. where
lately the Durocs have had things all
their own way, but this year there
were to be seen several different
strains and the Tamworths especially
were out in force to compete for
supremacy with the red hogs.
The agricultural displays were the
wonder and admiration of our eastern
visitors. That such a variety of pro-
ducts of such superior excellence
could be raised in country where it
don't rain was a marvel. Almost ev-
cry vegetable known to the temperate
zone was to be seen and the growers
of garden sass" seemed to have put
their heads together-and they are
not all cabbage heads, either-and
made an exhibit that did the COM
munity immense credit

BIG STATE FAIR.
Will be One of the Greatest Fairs
Ever Held in West.

From present indications the Col
orado State Fair of 1911 which will
be held in Pueblo. September IS to
20, will be the greatest fair that has
ever been held in the west.
While the exhibits will be as good
ii not better than in former years,
President j. l.. Beaman and the di-
rectors have made efforts to provide
bigger show than ever before, more
special attractions and program of
variety-in short one that will pro-
vide day of genuine entertainment
for the visitor.
The best races that have ever been
held in Pueblo will be feature OF
the fair this season; "The Last Days
of Pompeii," PAINS great fireworks
spectacle, is the highest priced attrac-
ton ever provided in the west by any
fair management; there will be more
horses and fine stock than ever ex-
hibited here before and more special
exhibits, and as proof of this carpen-
tiers are now busily engaged at the
grounds providing extra buildings and
stalls; the cowboy sports, relay races
and Frontier Day programs will con
tinue to be features of the Fair. Be
sides these President Bcaman has ar
ranged for a number of high class
vaudeville and acrobatic acts immed-
lately in front of the grand stand ev-
erv day.

BUSINESS COLLEGE
On Permanent Basis Has Been Es-
tablished in This City.

Rocky Ford may be congratulated
upon having been chosen as one OF
the towns in Colorado for the estab-
fishing of 20 permanent business col
leges. This above any other indus
try is what is wanted, for the rising
generation must be educated i'll short
hand. typewriting, spelling, punctua-
ton, arithmetic, bookkeepi-- and
commercial law. The president OF
the undertaking is no win this city,
and will remain until he has made at
least IL good shorthand writers in
the new A. b. c. system, invented and
practically worked by seven experts
Who were reporters in the British
houses of Commons, Lords and high
courts. These seven men were all pu-
pills of the late Sir Isaac Pitman and
none are under 90 years OF age. men
OF experience and all successful bust
ness men.
All commercial subjects will be
taught, and so soon as $50 pupils are
enrolled the Seven" Institute will
erect in Rocky Ford building that
will be a credit to the city, and that
will accommodate board and resi-
dence for large number of pupils,
East. The system OF shorthand and
the staff of excellent teachers, togeth-
er with the most perfect climate in
the world, will be the inducements.
At least thousand teachers are
now required to fill positions
throughout America, to demonstrate
this new shorthand and to act as as
sistants in public schools, teachers,
examiners and superintendents, and
the right boy or girl. man or woman
may be trained for these positions.
1t is to be hoped that the school
committee of this city will give every
encouragement to Professor Walter
Norton while he is with us, that he
may teach the teachers and SO start
the ball to roll and INTRODUCE a short
hand to our seventh and eighth
grades. that when they reach high
school the scholars are able to
take down the teachers talk and so en-
rich their young brains that the re-
suit will be ten times more knowl-
edge than they possess with the pres
ent method. Professor Norton, one
OF the seven inventors is quite anx-
ious to teach all teachers for this OBJ
ject. The college is situated at n.
Main and Chestnut streets, and is
now open for business.

ing to take an exhibit from the coun-
ty fair at Tucumcari to the Interna
tional Exposition of Dry-Farmed
Products at Colorado Springs, the

Quay county has fair that stands
out unique. The Chamber of Com

UP the organization complete. Out

it costs nobody a cent, excepting what
he may wish to spend. There are no
gate or entry fees, no expenses for
care OF stock or exhibits. On this
basis they paid all premiums i'll 1910,
and had money left over.
Tucumcari and the Quay county
bunch are live ones when it comes to
setting forth the advantages of their
country. a New Mexican branch of
the International Dry-Farming Con-
gress has been organized the past
summer, during the Mountainair

state have started to interest farmers
in the methods taught. For that rca-
son many are anxious to attend the

officers were appointed to assist our
regular police force. Harry West was
amongst the number and he had been
| detailed to watch for suspicious charac-
ters about the depot.
While in the performance of his duty on

couple OF young hobos who tried to
touch" him for the price of meal" so
the story goes.
You're under arrest" said West, as he
grabbed one of the panhandlers. The
other took to his heels and had reached
distance of about 65 feet when the police
man yelled at him to halt, but ne failed to
do so, and tho officer pulled his trusty
Colts and fired. bringing down his man.
The young fellow. who gave his name
as Paul Bobins and age as z years, was
removed to the Pollock hospital. where
DIR. Pollock found that the bullet had
penetrated the fleshy part of his hip. in
