OF
NAVYMEN READY
TO HELP At FIRE
ENSIGN SHANNON CAME ASHORE
TO ASCERTAIN If ASSISTANCE
WAS NEEDED BY THE FIRE DE-
PARTMENT.

An act by the officers of the cruiser
San Francisco which was greatly ap-
preciated by the fire department was
that of last night when Ensign Thorn
as 1. Shannon of that vessel came
ashore on instruction from Comman-
der R. B. Belknap to ascertain If the
fire department would need assistance
in fighting the fire on North Alcaniz
street.
From the manner in which the
flames shot sSyward it looked from the
war vessel that bad fire was in pro-
gress and Ensign Shannon hurried
ashore to learn if help was needed and
in the meantime all preparation had
been made aboard for large detach-
ment to come ashore and assist the
fire department
The fire department had the flames
under control. however, and the SER
vices of the navy men were not needed,
but the tender of their services was
none the less appreciated.

Cruel Inainuation.

When P. T. Barnum was at the head
of his great moral show" it was his
rule to send complimentary tickets to
clergymen, and the custom is con
tinued to this day. Not long after the
Rev. DR.. Walker succeeded to the pas
torate of the Rev. DR.. Hawkes. in Hart
ford, there came to the parsonage, ad-
dressed to DR.. Hawkes., tickets for the
circus, with the compliments of the
famous Snowman. DR.. Walker studied
the tickets for a moment, and then
remarked:

About a Faiir
E E Baca County

Editor Herald
The rapid settlement of Baca
county by farmers will radically
change The conditions and habits
nf the people They will become
more social, because the means
of sociability will be more acces
sible. Farming is becoming
more and more agreeable, and
the trend is from city to farm
more than at any time in the past
Then, too, farming is now more Il
matter Of intelligence, and not
wholly of manual labor. I'M
provements in the character of
crops, in the methods of cultiva-
tion, the kind of machinery. the
ways of marketing-all these are
essential to success in the farm
ing Of to day.
AGoug all the measures to
promote successful farming
there is none more educative
than county fair. Forty-three
years ago | helped to start a fair
in Sac county, Iowa, when there
were not over 300 votes in the
county. 1t was crude affair,
but it grew, and waXed greater
every year, until no1 it is IL large
event, and it has been of i'm
menSe value to the farmers of
tile county.
The time is ripe for the farm
ers of Baca county to organize
an agricultural society, and hold
an annual fair, which of course
would be held at the county seat
1t would require hard work, and
perhaps personal sacrifice on the
part of promoters, but the ear
lier it is begun the sooner it will
become perfectly organized and
selfsupporting. there will be
no trouble about exhibits; the
hard pull will be to get IL start
ed.
1 do not know whether the
laws of Colorado permit state aid
to county fairs or not; this was
done in Iowa. The national gov
ernment ie taking increased in
terest in the welfare of farmers,
and trained and competent men
are sent out to give advise on the
phases of farming adapted to
the different localities. The U.
S. experiment station All Fort
Collins would no doubt lend its
aid toward making acounty fair
interesting and instructive.
A fair of this kind, by show
ing the productiveness OF the
county, is IL good advertisement,
and increases the salable price
of the land. Then as means
of getting acquainted, and pro
noting sociability, there is noth
ing equal to it.
1 would suggest, Mr.. Editor,
that the active and intelligent
farmers of our county take this
matter up, and that we work up
a fair during the coming fall.
The first step would be to call a
meeting of tAose interested, say
about the middle of March, at
which the movement could be
inaugurated, an organization
formed, and ways and means
devised to further the project.
