WEEK OF CLEAN SPORT AND PURE FUN FOR ALL
The week of September 23 promts-1
ea to be the biggest, the most aus- |
picious week in the history of Grant!
Junction and Mesa county as far as
amusement and good solid clean sport
is concerned.
This will be the week of the third
annual Mesa county Industrial and
Fruit Fair and there is every reason
to believe that the coming fair will be
the greatest and the best ever held
in the valley.
When the stockhoulders of the as
sociation met last winter to try to
find a w'ay out of the difficulties that
had arisen from the last county fail’
they were careful In the selection
of a board of directors and a secre
tary.
Time has proven that they made no
mistake when they did make the se
lection of officers for a better board
of directors or more enterprising,
hustling secretary could hardly have
been chosen. These gentlemen have
worked faithfully, untiringly and con
scientionußly in an effort to make the
coming fair a decided success from
start to finish and they have been
ably seconded by the public in gen
eral, and everybody is looking for
ward with tho belief that the com
ing race meet and week of festival
will he a period in Grand Junction’s
history long to be remembered with
pleasure.
The fair is now only a little more
than two weeks off and the arrange
ments and details are rapidly being
completed. Everything will be in
readiness for the opening on sched
ule time.
There will be three big days at the
fair. The association Relieved that it
would be wiser to have three extra
ordinary good days than to try to
have for or five days of races and
exhibitions with one or two of these
days not so well filled up with attrac
tions ns the others.
Tuesday, September 25th will be
entry day for the exhibitors. No ad
niission will be charged to the
grounds on Tuesday and no regular
program will be carried out. The
gounds will be open to the public and
those who care to visit them that day
can do so.
Wednesday the big show begins
and from early morning until dewy
eve there will be something doing at
the fair grounds. Thursday and Fri
day will be just as big if not still
bigger days.
The work of rearranging the im
mense exhibition hall is now under
way and will be completed within a
very short time. Many radical
changes are being made. The big
stairways have been altered and the
ground floor of the great room has
been divided into six equal divisions
or sections. This is done In order
to give an equal showing for each of
the big sectional exhibits. It is well
known that Mesa county has been di
vided into six distinct districts and
each district is to contest for a hand
some prize offered for the best, the
largest and the finest exhibit of fruit
and agricultural products shown by
one section. The entire lower floor
of the hall will be devoted to these
sectional displays and t,here is no
question but what there will be shown
during the fair week on the lower
floor of the spacious exhibition hall
the finest, the most magnificent dis
play of fruit, the product that has
made the Grand valley famous the
country over—ever placed on exhi
bition in the state. And the showing
of agricultural products will be equal
ly as pleasing. The sights to be seen in
the exhibit hall will be easily worth
far more than the price of admission
to the grounds.
Such a fruit display as is being
prepared for the Mesa county fair
has never before been shown in Colo
rado. This is not a “hot air” story.
Hut a reasonable statement. well
backed by hard cold facts.
The upper floor of the exhibition
hall will be devoted to fancy work
displays, art exhibits, school work,
and various other kind of showings of
thiß nature.
Several hours, yes a whole day
can be spent in the exhibition hall
with profit and pleasure by every
visitor. The great building will sim
ply groan under the weight of the
hundreds of exhibits.
The purses for the race meet which
will be divided up into three fine
programs, one on Wednesday after
noon, one on Thursday afternoon, and
another on Friday afternoon, amount
to 13.000.
The fastest horses in western Colo
j rado and many ecellent horses from
other sections of the state will par
ticipate in tho programs. Already
i there are twenty-five horses in train
ing at the fair grounds and this num
ber will be added to almost from day
to day from now on until the opening
of the fair. Nearly all of the well
i known strings of horses that have
i run the local track before will be here
, but the number of new horses will be
great.
The greatest of care has been taken
> in preparing for the race program and
. it is believed that the line of events
■ will be satisfactory interesting and
i first class from end to end. The as
■ sociation will stand for no crooked
ness on the part of anyone.
i The race programs for tho three
days are as follows. It is probable
[ that extra events not scheduled be
, low will be run in each day. Don’t
» these programs look good to you:

There promises to he a fine ex
• hibit of live stock this year. Hand'
[ some premiums arc offered in this de
partment.
The poultry exhibit this year will
i he the best made in -the valley in
years.
Special attention Is being given by
some of the stockmen to a creditable
exhibit of sheep and goats.
The state agriculLural college of
Fort Collins will send to the city a
large exhibit which will occupy a
large tent and to which no admission
charge will be made. This exhibit
will be In charge of two or three
members of the faculty of the col
lege.
A number of the merchants expect
to make individual exhibits in tents
on the grounds (luring the week.|
The Judges of the fruit exhibits
both individual and sectional disp
plays, will probably be selected from
outside tthe county. Hundreds of
dollars in premiums are offered in
this department.
Probably on Wednesday morning
at eleven o'clock the habv show will
take place and as in the past this at
traction will prove immensely popu
lar and score of little people of
both sex will probably be entered. A
baby Hhow never fails to amuse.
Thursday, September 26 will be
''Peach day” at the Fair. Every vis
itor from outside Mesa county will
he presented with a basket of fruit.
This feature is sure to make a big lilt
with the hundreds of outsiders who
will come to take in the fair.
A special train will bring large
delegations from narrow guag<«
points on Thursday.
The railroads have announced es
pecially low rates for the entire
week and thousands of visitors are
expected in the city during the fair
period.
The Indians will be at the fair
again this year, giving practical deni
onstrations of their life and daily
customs.
Each afternoon of the fair, be
tween the hours of three and four
o’clock Ivy Baldwin, the noted aero
naut, will make balloon ascensions
and parachute leaps at the fair
grounds. Baldwin is considered one .
of the most daring and successful i
balloonists in the country today.
A first class band( probably the i
Grand Junction baud) will furnish
music all during the week and each
evening a concert will be given on '
Main street.
On Thursday night there will be ‘i
an illuminated parade or evening i <
pageant with the participants mask
ed.
A big “trolley swing." a unique
amusement enterprise is now being
erected at the fair grounds.
A merry-go-round will help enter
tain the crowds.
It is probable that all the busi
ness houses in the city will close each
afternoon during the three days.
The fire tournament to be partici
pated In by teams representing num
erous departments in this and other
cities and towns, will take place on
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.
This Is one of the leading events of
the fair week.
The fair grounds have been won
' tlerfully improved during the year
■ and many changes for the comfort
land entertainment of the crowds that
will throng the grounds have been
I made.
Much space could yet he tnken In
detailing the many other attractions
and features of fair week. We have
mentioned only a part of them.
Grand Junction is already getting
herself ready for a big time, a regu
lar. high carnival of clean amuse
ment. It will be a gala week, and
ihose who come from a dis tance to
participate will have no cause to com
plain of the manner in which they
were entertained while within our
, gates.
Here’s hoping that the third nn
, nual Mesa county fair will ho the best
[ the biggest and the brightest ever.

HERE’S AN OFFER
TO THINK ABOUT
Our property, seven full claims, is
located in the Sinbab valley, in the
foot hills of the La Salle mountains
in the extreme southwest corner of
Mesa county, Colorado. The strike
extends northwest by southeast, is in
the carbonacious shales, blue lime
being the country rock, with quartz
ities and eruptive porphery between
walls. The delposit is mostly an
aqeueous crystalization. consisting of
sulphates, oxides and carbonates in
contact or separated with blue lime. .
The vein varies from 7 to 15 feet in |
width and extends the length of the
entire property. Assays run from
10 per cent copper and 10 ounces in !
silver to 80 per cent copper nnd 200 '
ounces of silver, besides about $3, ■
SO in gold, and fine indication of !
uranium, with an average run in ex
cess of 15 per cent copper and G»>
ounces of silver. We have prospect
ed said property the entire length,
having spent many thousands of dol
lars. and find thut the vein contin
ues to hold its value and increases In
wealth as ii goes down. A fine vein
of carbonate of iron, within our own
lines, parallels it below and an ex
cellent measure of lime above. These
are the oly (luxes needed to reduce
this ore. Plenty of water power
near at hnnd and an abundance of
fuel. The only impediment to the
successful operation of these mines,
even when their products are very
low, was the lack of transportation.
This is still in our way, but we have
remedied n part of it and now have
decided to part with a limited amount
of treasury stock, for the purpose of
constructing ore roads and putting
in the necessary maohinery.
I One-third of all the stock was
placed in the treasury so that we will
always have sufficient means to
bridge nny ■necossiuy expense, but
only a small block is offered at this
time, as we are confident that (is soon
as we have transportation facilities
that the mines will immediately place
themselves on a paying basis, now
that the price of their products have
nearly doubled.
Tills is an opporunity to get in on
the ground floor with the original
owners, who have borne tho heat and
. burden of the day in times past, when
prospecting rodk cost money.
Secure some of tills rock nnd aid
in developing one of the greatest cop
per producing propositions known to
exist in the United States, and watch
your bank account grow and the
stock go up ns tlie shaft goes down.
We will be glad to have our property
I Inspected at any time, as it will much
more than bear out any of these
statements. But don't neglect to
<onie In nnd reap with us, as there
. 'are thousands of tons of high grade
'ore ready to ship ns soon ns this road
, can be completed, and the harvest
will be great.
Theasury stock is now offered at
1 6cents per share, owing to the great
necessity for this road. When we
'have accomplished that the stock
must immediately advance, ns the
, mines will at once become a paying
proposition, which means at least 50
cents for the stock. Now is the time
to help us and yourself, and this Is
the lust offer at this price.

Death Blow'to “Dope” Pile "Cures”
Here Is a plain Anti-Dope law passed b> congress:
Any preparation will be considered illegal if the package falls to bear
1 a statement on the label of the quantity and proportions of any morphine,
opium, cocaine, heroine, alpha of beta eucalne, chloroform, cannibis indi
cn. chloral hydrate or any deiivitJve or preparation of any such substanses.
Any mixture of drugs is unlawful if it bears any device, design or statement
on the package which is false or misleading in any particular.**
Above are the poisons entered into all pile medicines except E-RU
SA PILE CURE.. If the "dope” preparations are not labeled they are il
legal and if truthfully labeled they are unlawful, because they claim to
cure piles, whereas, a standard medical authority, viz: The United States
Pharmacopoeia, says it is false, as follows: "They (narcotics) are not
supposed :o exercise any curative influence. Ergot is highly danger
ous even when the quantity used is so small that no immediate effects are
perceptible. The chief action of conium is upon the motor nerve, which
lis palayses. Acetate of lead may give rise to chronic lead poisoning."
There Is not one syllable in this standard medical authority to Justify
j the claim that anv of the old pile medicines (tire. They injure.
E-RU-SA IS TIIE ONLY NON-NARCOTIC PILE CUBE.
Onlv loading up to date druggists in Grand Junction sell E-RU-SA PILE
CURE viz:
C. D. Smith & Co.. Haskell's Pharmacy, Wholfort Drug Co.. C. D.
| Smith Drug Co.. Frulta Colo., C. D. Smith Drug Co, Palisade. Colo.
FORTY-ONE letters from leading wholesale druggists similar to the
| following will give the pubic a correct Idea of the standing of retail drug
gists who sell E-RU-SA Pile Cure. Retail druggists of the highest
I standing sell and endorse E-RU-SA Pile Cure.” Mofflt West Drug Co.. St.
; Louis. Mo.
Now notice what druggists of the highest standing say of druggists
who advocate the use of "dope" or narcotic preparations: Dr. L. Griffln:
Any druggist who urges the sale or use of any prepartion containing
opium, belladonna or other narcotics, ergot or cocaine, is not. In my opin
ion. worthy of the confidence of an intelligent community. I speak as a
druggist knowing the Injurious effects of these drugs." E. H. DUDLEY.
