BY W. HARRISON,

Member State Board of Agriculture
Many of the fruit growers of this
valley learned with regret that We
were so soon to lose the valuable
services of our esteemed horticulture
inspector, George NJ List, and / am
sure all will unite in wishing him the
greatest success in his new appoint
ment But | think that the frequen-
cy of the changes in our horticultural
advisors is a matter for regret and
may be consideration, for at present
1t would seem that as soon as they
have become familiar with local con-
ditions, they are offered more valu-
able appointments elsewhere.
In six years We have had Profess
sors Whipple. Taylor. Welan, Herrick.
Scannell, and List and while we may
feel a certain amount of pride that
experience gained in Mesa county
should command a premium in other
districts, it must be admitted We, as
a community gain nothing thereby.
Further. what records have we of
the work and observations of these
gentlemen during the period they
held office that are available for
their successors. for the benefit of
the public and in particular, the new
comers?
None. If we except the undoubted
good will and esteem In which each
and all of them are remembered by
those with whom they came in con-
tact
Now that we have an important va
cancy to fill. would it not be wise to
ascertain first, if by change in pol
| icy or methods, We may remedy these
defects in our system in future and
insure the results to be derived from
an expenditure such as will benefit
the greatest number.
With the insistent and increasing
demand for diversified crops in the
district. should we not make some
provision for fostering and systema-
tizing their growth and while not ig-
noring the proper claims of the es-
tablished fruit growers. insure for
the owners of young orchards and
new corners on raw land, such ad'

over 5000 people saw the AL G.

THIS afternoon at 1880 and were ex-
ceptlonally pleased by the pomDous
and splendid array of rumbling cir
Gus wagons, the sound of whose
wheels nothing can initiate and is the
JOY of the small boy. The parade did
not go off of the pavement and made
a complete circuit of Main street.
NO show that has visited Grand
junction since Barnum G. Bailey's
great show was shown the class that
the Barnes circus has. The wild
animal menagerie is truly exceptional
ana about the finest that has been
seen here.
No show that has been here can
equal the Barnes outfit for number
and fine locks of African lions of
which there are several cages. Leop-
ards, mountain lions. hyenas, panth-
ers, wild cats. elephants, camels.
zebras, sacred oxen, bears and other
wild animals are there in plenty. One
cage contains seven big bears.
The show has over 100 immense
dapple grey white and black horses,
besides a score or more Shetland
ponies. 1t also carries steam cali
ope. There was a big crowd at the
grounds on South Fifth street this
afternoon and tonight another big.
well-merited crowd is expected. The
show is a good one and Grand juno
ton people will doubtless be pleased
by 1t.
One of the noticeable features of
the parade was a sign Use Mesa
