Denyer.-The forest service has

bination OF old brickwork and treep

There Are Others.
II is, however. unnecessary to go
as far afield as Amersfoort in order
to see a characteristic Dutch water
gate. HARLEM, the center OF the
Dutch bulb fields. has one of the most
imposing gates In Holland. the Am
sterdamsche Poort The way to 1t
lies along the river front of the broad
wind-swept Spaarne. where the many
colored barges ply their way, or lie
drawn up along shore. Crossing the
Spaarne by bridge not far from
Lieven de Keys picturesque Weigh
house, little poor street, with some
tiny facaded old houses of much In
dividual charm. leads to the Amster-
damsche Poort, which. like most OF
the old Dutch water-gates, stands iso-
lated and massive as a self-contained
fortress, its high towers commanding
many miles of that fiat country.
But the gate that looks so formid'
able n remnant OF the Notifications to-
day was powerless to save HARLEM
once, when the city defenses had been
neglected, and its walls had fallen into
decay. II was in the winter of l572
when Don Frederic. son OF the duke OF
Alva. had been ordered to invest the
city and put to death all who dehed
his authority. The people of HARLEM
held out through the long winter,
erecting a new wall within their weak
outer defenses. The Spanish troops
died by hundreds from exposure.
while the citizens starved within their
gates. A gallant sortie. in which some
supplies were captured, enabled them
to hold out TIL June. Then they were
forced to surrender. and were reward
ed for their seven months courageous
endurance by Wholesale massacre
at the hands OF the Spaniards.
The watergates have Jared better
than those on land-they have avoid
ed architectural suffocation by en-.
croaching houses. That at Sneek, n
little town on one OF the Friesland
Meres. has n quite individual charac-
ter. n certain slim grace and lightness

dates from 1919. and was happily
preserved at the time OF the destruc-
tion OF the city walls.
One other gate deserves 10 be re-
corded. the famous Dromedaris OF
Enkhuizen. Massive and impregna-
BILE. It stands solitary witness to
the fallen fortune OF the little North
Holland town. Enkhuizen. wealthy
and important. nurse Of gallant race
of sailors. mistress OF fine feet OF
ships-Enkhuizen that successfully
defied the power OF Spain. has shrunk
TO n fraction OF Its former sire. Its
harbor has silted up. It's past gloriea
arc only a memory. but stlll the great
gate keeps watch over the empty har-
Dor and the deserted streets that have
acquired componsating charm OF

NEW MEXICO STATE FAIR.
Second Edition of Premium Book
Necessary This Year.

Albuquerque. the first time in
the history Of the New Mexico state
fair at Albuquerque. n second edition
of the fair premium book has been
made necessary. The premium books
were issued early this year. The lists
carry total OF more than $4,000 in
cash prizes for agricultural and live
stock displays alone, and with the
best year on record on both farm and
ranch. the demand from prospective
exhibitors has been enormous. The
new edition is now being printed and
Secretary Tom Binkert at Albuquer-
que announces that those who desire
the book should make application at
once.
The fair commission is gratifled at
the statewide spirit OF cooperation
shown this year. Every section OF the
state is showing lively interest In the
success of the fair and especially In
the exhibit departments. Fourteen
county and local fairs to date have
fixed their fair dates Just prior to the
state fair. Oct. to 10. so that the
pick OF exhibits at the local fairs may
be taken to the state exposition. and
the number OF individual exhibits Will
be double that OF any previous year.
The largest agricultural exhibit ever
held in the state was at Albuquerque
in connection with the national irriga-
tlon congress. The state fair exhibit
this year is now certain to exceed that
exhibit both in size and character o.
the exhiblts.

was wild and walked nine batters.
Phil Koerners home run clout with
two men on bases was one Of the feat
ures Of the contest. A sensational
catch in center Held In the seventh In
ming by Hunter OF the Des Moines was
the feature fielding play OF the game.
This catch stopped what appeared to be
q batting rally Of the Kaws. Two men
were on the bases when Hunter made
the catch.
The Boosters started the game with
two scores in the first inning. After
two were out, Hunter was safe on a
f1elder's choice and scored on q two

lowed with a three base hit and scored
Burrell. French started in the second
inning with sharp single through the
infield, and Higginbotham followed
with q two base drive. Koerner got
busy in the third inning and hit q home
run with Forsythe and Cochran on the
bases. Cochran was given q base on
balls and Forsythe had singled. This
home run was the longest hit Of the
season, on the Des Moines grounds.
Faircloth went wild in the third in
ming when he allowed three walks,
coupled with two singles and q feeders

by overcoming the effectiveness OF
Koerner's home run swat Both teams
frightened up after this and there was
nothing more doing until in the seventh
inning when Wakefield singled, Coch-
ran walked. and Mogridge uncorked q
wild pitch, which allowed Wakefield to
score.
The Boosters sewed up the game in
the seventh inning by taking advan-
tage Of the wildness Of Faircloth, and
opportune hitting which netted four
runs. Wakefield and Koerner hit safe
in the ninth inning which netted one
run. The score:
