one of the very best agricultural sec

showing due appreciation. of the pres
ent great opportunity of letting the
public know that there are many
things here to attract and hold the
j prospector. The town is in gala at
tire this week and on every hand may
be seen tokens of appreciation shown
on the part of her citizenship of the
presence of many visitors in the city.
Everything possible is being done to
make the visitors feel at home and
everything possible will be done to
aid, instruct and entertain them while

u. The hotels and boarding houses are
pretty well filled already and it is
possible that arrivals tomorrow will
find it somewhat difficult to get en-
, tertainment near in. In many in
stances the boarding houses have been
taken for the whole week from eel
, lar to garnet. The big hotels have
booked many reservations already and
will be well filled until the very last
| day of the present week. As some
visitors leave others have been and
