THIRD DAY OF THE
IMPERIAL COUNTY
FAIR BIG SUCCESS
Cotton Exhibits Lead in A.
tracing Interest of the
Strangers Here

The third day of the Imperial Coun-
ty Fair is drawing to a close, and it
may be set down as one of great sue
cess. The crowd at the fair grounds
was light this forenoon, but this af'
ternoon many people assembled and
all departments attracted their atten-
tion.
The main exhibition hall continues
to be the chief point of attraction. At
first glance one is impressed with the
superior advantages of cotton for dec
Grating purposes. Cotton has been
used profusely-it greets you at the
very entrance, and it extends to the
exit in the rear. And this is we'll, for
cotton is attracting more attention to
Imperial Valley today than any other
feature of our remarkable develop
ment Right at the entrance of the
exhibition hall has been placed a
stock of cotton from the McCusick
ranch that expert Texan cotton men
say has never been equalled in the en-
tire south. Every boil is fully ma
tured and the stalk is a mass of snowy
white. The general cotton exhibit in
cludes the cotton on the bush, cotton
IN selected bolls, cotton batting, floss,
twine and cord, and the valley crop as
1t appears in woven articles. Cotton
seed oil and meal cake, cotton seed
hulls, etc.-all these are shown to the
best. advantage and are attracting con-
stant' attention. ,-a 49, ~5,s =
The section of the exhibition hall
devoted to the public schools also
continues to attract much attention
The Ell Centro Union High School
booth is in charge of a bevy of pretty
girls and they are distributing book
lets setting forth the work Of the
school. .
Imperial county is making brave
showing in the display of fruits. Wis
itors have been astounded to see this
display. 1t includes well-colored
oranges. and handsome grapefruit
tangerines, lemons, ounces. pome-
granates, dates, figs and grapes Of
rich coloring and unusual size. The
showing OF vegetables is good. Here
are displayed the general products OF
the truck PATCH" and the inference
is plain that, Imperial Valley should
cease importing the large amount oi
green stuff that daily arrives by ex-
press and should depend on it's OWE
products in this line. One stock of Okrs
shown is more than eight feet iI
height and thickly set with pods
Tomato vines immense enough to COW
er the side of house are among the
showings, and there is green corn tina,
cannot be beaten anywhere.
In the domestic, arts department
there is a bewildering display to the
masculine mind, but that it makes g
"hit" with the ladies is shown by the
constant crowds which surround the
booths. Here everything from the
finest needlework to the more utili.
tartan light bread and corn "pone,
and from the old fashioned "log-cab.
In" quilts to the most modern ol
fleecy comforters. is on display. ..
The judges in this department are

Mrs e. A. Nance of Imperial; Mrs.
G.. w. Vermilya and Mrs. NJ. l.. Haz-
zard OF Holtville; Mrs. J. H. Holland
of Imperial, and Mrs. Steintorf of Ca
lexico.
The stock exhibit is good. but not
as extensive as it should be in val
ley where stock raising is one of the
chief industries. The showing of
swine is excellent, and there are
sheep, cattle and horses. Particular
ly good is the poultry exhibit, includ-
ing chickens, turkeys, ducks, guinea
fowls and pigeons. An exhibit of Bel
gian hares is also made on this part
of the grounds.
The Baby Show
This afternoon will occur the an
nual baby snow The judges are to

smith and c. E. Gage Undoubtedly
the array of infantile beauty will be
an embarrassment to the judges.

The parade of live stock has been
postponed until tomorrow morning at
10 O'Clock. This will be one of the
most interesting features of the fair
The Judging of stock took place to-
day. The judges were Dr. Cram, DR.

Chariot Races.
One of the racing features that has
been added since the opening of the
fair is a chariot race to be pulled OF

but not nearly fast enough to meet the

1t is a good thing for town to have

Imperial Valley press., 1911-11-15

The appeal for temporary quarters
and for houses in Ell Centre is the
most strenuous in the history OF the
town. Scores of families are seeking
for places to live and are having no
success. A number of those who
would have become residents nave
been obliged to leave for lack of ac-
commodations.
The situation is one which calls for
prompt action. Every business man

tics of the orange and lemon crops in

to the fact that the number of trees
reported in 1910 is not altogether
comparable with the figures reported
in 1900. In the latter year the trees
reported as of bearing age undoubted- :
ly included considerable number not
of bearing age. In the census Of 1910
the. difficulty was eliminated as both
the number of trees of bearing age
and those not of bearing age were
called for by the schedule. Moreover,
the orange and lemon growers of Flor
ida had not in 1900 recovered from
the damage by frost inflicted few
years earlier, resulting in crop less
than half as great as in 1890.
California Orange Crop
The orange crop of California made
gain of 154.4 per cent during the
decade between 1899 and 1909, increas-

five DAYS FIGHTING
FOR LIFE
fAged Man Near Huntington strug-
giles for Five Days In Waters
of Snake River-Wonderful En-
durance.

The endurance of Gus Hubbard, a
man aged eighty years, seems well
nigh past belief, but If the story
that comes from the Ball ranch on
snake river be true, and there is
every reason to believe that it is,
why DR.. Osler is again dealt blow
that will cause him to think that
perLH,s he is something of lobster
attefal.
Hubbard, according to the story
which reached this city last night.
says the Baker Democrat of July
Sth. and which was confirmed from
Huntington, left the ranch and went
several miles down the river in
search of some sheep. On his re-
turn, the trail, which he followed.
led close to the river bank at one
point, and in some manner he fell
lowing the continued rains, and as
the bank was steep where he fell in
he was unable to climb out. This
was week ago Monday, and for five
days, or until Saturday, Hubbard
struggled in the waters of the Snake,
immersed to his shoulders, and call
ing loudly for help all the time. His
cries were finally heard and parties
from the other side of the river went
10 his assistance with a boat.
He was in a terrible condition
when rescued. His limbs were swol-
len badly, and his hands were so
torn and lacerated from holding on
to the limbs of trees that came down
over the water and from his attempts
In climb up the steep bank, that no
feeling remained, and the man seem
ed to be in a semi-unconscious con-
dition although yet able to keep his
head above water
He was taken to a ranch nearby
and cared for and later sent to-
Huntington for treatment. 1t Isl
said that he has fair chance OF
recovery, but on account of his ad-
vanced age it is believed that his
limbs were rendered permanently par
clyzed from the effects Of his terri
BILE ordeal.

ing a third OF the tile and laying
the same the city would furnish two
thirds of the tile. A number of
citizens were present at the meet

satisfactory inasmuch as after the
ditch had been fixed there was no
ownership involved and who. would
look after future repairs. The affair
was talked over at some length mad

the entire matter will come up again
at the next meeting for solution.
