CAMBRIDGE FAIR
NOTES
Special Correspondence.l

Cambridge. III. Sept. 90. - The
Henry county farm bureau has
erected a large tent just south OF
Floral hall. The displays and bull
letins are very attractive and re-
feet credit to the officers Of the
farm bureau in so strongly pre-
Senting the features OF the work
which is being accomplished. The
Red Cross also has been given a
loca ion in this tent. whereby a
greater understanding of its activi-
!. ties is being brought to the atten-
ton OF those who visit farm bureau
headquarters.
George L. Smith of Geneseo has
on display at the farm bureau tent
some of the apples which he has
grown in Henry county this year.
Mr.. Smith will have for sale this
fall 1000 bushels of apples which
have been grown in orchards near
Geneseo which he has under lease.
1t is said he has the only really
successful commercial orchards in
Illinois this year.
The officials of the fair have TAX
en- every precaution at their COM
mand TO properly accord their
guests ample police protection.
They have employed for the dura-
ton of the fair several officers from
the tri-cities of Davenport. Rock
Island and Moline. in addition to
representatives from the police de-
partments of Kewanee and Peoria.
Soderberg, the well known breed
er of horses of CISCO, Ill, had a
busy day of it yesterday. Hosts of
friends called at the stable in which
his horses are to be seen, and Sod
erberg was there to bid them well
come. Mr.. Soderberg has won 143
first prizes this fall. He has visited
the Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin
state fairs. so has met keen oppo-
sition. He has not failed to show
at the state fair at Springfield since
1879. This is a remarkable record. !
John Hanna of Geneseo is show !
ing a few very choice head of Berk- |
shire hogs which have won several |
for him. These include |

The feature of the display at the !
Ford automobile tent is a model of !
the vintage of 1908. This car is the |
property OF Mr.. Nyberg of Galva, |
and is in good condition.
Having been compelled to refuse |
the entries of 80 head of running |

room, it will be the plan of the Of
hc1als OF the fair to erect addition !
al stables during the next year. !

SHIPMENT OF GOLD BULLION AT VALDEZ
 FROM GLACIER MINE
(ValdeZ Miner.

Harry Blagraves, who has a lease on the RamsayRu mine, sit uated on the Valdez Glacier, about 12 miles from town, arrived here Wednesday evening in company with Chas Brown, bringing nearly $3,00O in gold bullion, or about TO ounces. The trip over the glacier was a most exhaustiug one, the snow being deep and the light rays fail- ing to refract the holes and ere vases in the trail, causing several nasty spills.
 This is the second shipment of bullion reaching here from the Ram say-Rutherford the past few months, and Mr. Blagraves is very optimistic over the output. Several hundred tons of rich ore are yet on the dump waiting to be milled, and a small force is at work milling ore and blocking out the rich quartz.
 The Ramsay Rutherford is one of the highly developed mines of this district, and produced considerable gold up to the beginning of the war.

JOHN M'GRAW CALLED
 GAME PLAYER BY JUMPS

Jack Sheridan, during his lifetime one of the greatest baseball umpires, once said the gamest incident he ever saw on the field was staged by John McGraw, then kid infielder for the Baltimore Orioles.
 "McGraw came up with orders to get on first base by any means he could' said Sheridan. "I could tell that by watching his actions at the plate. I happened to be umpire in this battle,
 ''The opposing pitcher, who had a lot of smoke, shot one at Johns head Instead of ducking back McGraw took the full force of the ball on his face, and was knocked down by the blow"
 AS he lay there in the dust he glanced up. I could see the tears in his eyes caused by the pain he was suffering.
 Do I get my base, Jack?" he stammered.
 "Of course, I couldn't let him go to first, because he had obviously tried to get hit, so I shook my head McGraw didn't offer a word of com plaint on my decision, but resumed his position at the plate"

 There is a great deal of steam and gas coming, from the cracks in Fthe mountain, Dittmar reported. Be fore the big erHption of 1915 there was very little steam emitted.
 Several geysers have made their appearance since the eruption in what is known as the, Devils Kitch- en, one of the noted spots in the park. In the Devils Kitchen there are between TOO and 500 active hot springs, boiling mud craters and geysers within an area of 25 acres Some of the geysers force boiling water several feet into the air and ! eject steam to a height of several hundred feet.
 l Boiling waters from the Kitchen ! flow into the icy cold waters of a nearby stream which has been named ! the Rivulet Styx. A scenic highway is proposed through the park, touch | ing the Devils Kitchen, the Rivulet Styx and giving a view of the noun tain.
