Big CANYONS OF SEQU0|A
Tchipitc Valley aud kings River Cany.
on May BE Included in National
Park Greater SequOia
Project.

The demand for what is popularity
known as the Greater Sequoia Nation
al Park" is rapidly growing. Several
of the larger Notwithstanding and
lttdcor clubs have become enthus-
iastc for it, and inquiries Of the De-
rartment of the Interior concerning
the magnificent country north and east
of the present Sequoia National Park
are increasing.
The fact that America possesses an
area of unsurpassed scenic magnifi-
cence heretofore unsupported by the
public has become generally known
only recently. Mount Whitney, the
highest peak in the United States, has
been only name and an altitude. The
Tehipite Valley and the Kings River
Canyon have been scarcely known even
as names. The Kern River Canyon
is hardly known to California.
The fact that all of these represent
sublmity, each of its own kind, inter-
ests the public, and the project to join,
in one national park of sixteen hun
bred square miles, the maximum Of
mountain top and canyon scenery with
the maximum Of forest luxuriance as
represented in the present Sequoia Ma
tional Park has caught the national
fancy. In several respects the Greater
Sequoia, when it becomes national
park, will be unique.
Two of these great canyons, the
Tehipite Valley and the Kings River
Canyon, may properly be classed with
the Yosemite Valley. Not that they
resemble or repeat the Yosemite or
each other; each is highly individual
and different. But they all have much
in common, including largeness, a
personality and quality that set
them apart from all other Of the
many Yosemites" which John Muir
ascribes to the Sierra Nevada Noun
tains.
Tehipite Valley and Its Dome
Each of these canyons, like the
Yosemite Valley is overlooked by
granite rocks of great height and
marked personality The Tehipite
Dome guardian the Tehipite Valley on
the north, is even loftier than Ell Cap
itan of the Yosemite while Mount
Harrington, directly opposite, rises
nearly two thousand feet higher than
Half Dome rises above the Yosemite
Valleys eastern end. In the Kings
River Canyon, North Dome and the
Grand Sentinel are nights OF COM
manding grandeur.
Tehipite Dome Is a true Yosemite
feature. II points its granite finger
at the zenith. II is not 30 massive
as FL Captain, and to that extent is
less impressive; but 1t is superb. 1t

HON. MAT s. COHEN,
President Kentucky State Fair.

TIME Kentucky State Fair belongs
to the people, is Of the people
and for the people, but credit for
this great achievement, which during
q period Of fourteen years has meant
much to the commonwealth at large
and which now bears vital relation to
the welfare Of the state, belongs In
fullest measure to two officials, the
commissioner Of agriculture and the
State Fair secretary.
Upon the shoulders of these two men
falls the burden Of responsibility for
the gigantic undertaking Of summing
up In one festal week the agricultural
and live stock industries, accomplish
ments and achievements Of the entire
state for the year, and both must be
possessor Of abilities beyond the ordi-
nary measure Of man.

Commissioner Of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen steps into the arena Of State
Fair accomplishment this year with the
poise and assurance of a prior years
unequaled and universally applauded
success in the handling of his colossal
task and with the pre-eminent satisfac-
ton Of knowing that he has succeeded
in adding to the fifteenth annual Ken
lucky State Fair to be held in Louis
vile the week Of Sept. 10, the most re-
markable features ever associated with
a State Fair. Spectacular among his
accomplishments is the securing of the
$4,000 stake for five gated saddle
horses and the Unprecedented increase
to $1,000 in premiums for county ex-
hibits. Both these brilliant feats are
in direct line with the appeal Of the
Washington government for stimula-
ton and increased activity In stock
raising and food production and fol
lowed his several consultations at
Washington with national bodies in
regard to keying up the state to Its
highest point Of output both In food as
well as stock. From these meetings
resulted the governments decision to

Kroner an Efficient Secretary.
Fontaine 7. Kremer, who was elect.
ed Kentucky State Fair secretary at
the beginning Of the present year upon
the lamented death of former Secre-
tary W. j. Gooch, while newly vested
with secretarial title and dignities, Is
by no means novice In secretarial
experience, having been the power be-
hind" preceding Kentucky State Fair
secretaries for the past eight years in
the comparatively incOnspicuous but
immensely important post Of active
manager and director of finances for
the entire vast institution.
To the lay mind the magnitude Of
this undertaking is impossible Of con-
cepton, and only those concerned In
the maelstrom of detail, inflnitude Of
demands and urgency of action surg
ing around the operative forces Of the
Fair can grasp the significance Of this
experience. AS no man occupies q dis
tinctive position without a training
which has consciously or unconscious
ly fitted him for the duties Of his post,
so Mr.. Kremer's entire career has been
one of preparation for the brilliant and
efficient handling Of the task before
him. In his early manhood he saw
long service in important positions
with the Louisville and Nashville rail-
road general offices and with the law
and equity division of the Jefferson
circuit court, thereby absorbing grasp
of detail, knowledge of law and famil.
iarity with finance which grounded him
well In knowledge vital to the handling
of the Fair. In fact, It was this un-
usual all round ability, demonstrated
year after year to the state board Of
agriculture, that prompted Mr.. Kre.
mer's election by the board as secre-
tary to the Fair. To the agricultural
element his selection was eminently
satisfying from the fact that Mr.. Kre-
mer has been practical farmer for
the past twelve years, owning and at
present residing upon and actively OPP
Grating at Shively, KY, one Of the pref
test and most prosperous farms in the
state.
