First Annual Fain Surpasses c/lll Expectations
Grand Forks   Carries
First Prize in the District
Competition
As predicted by The Sun last
week, the first annual fair held under the auspices of the Grand Forks
Agricultural association proved an
unqualified success from every viewpoint. Tbe exhibits of fruits and
vegetables have not been excelled
unywhere, and the poultry show was
r. revelation to the people of the city
and valley. The exhibits of minerals and smelter products were
equal to those usually seen at city
fairs, while the displays of ladies'
needlework, children's work, photography and other lines of art
demonstrated the claim frequently
made that Grand Forks is essentially a city of homes, and that the
major portion of the population are
people of refinement and artistic
taste. Not tbe least interesting part
of the show was the racing program
on the second day of the fair. It is
no exaggeration to say tnat the races
were the best and most keenly contested ever witnessed at the local
Mack. From the visitors nothing
but praise was heard regarding the
excellent quality of the exhibits and
the merit of the sports provided.
These words of commendation did
not come alone from strangers. Tbe
government ollieials delegated to take
part in an ollicial capacity in the
fair were among the most enthusi
astic. The opinion was unreservedly expressed that even the big apple
shows in Vancouver and Spokane
next month will not be able to show
a finer collection of apples than were
to be seen at the 1910 Grand Forks
fair. The directors and officers of
the fair deserve the thanks of the
citizens for the able manner in which
the enterprise was carried to a successful conclusion.
At 2 o'clock on Tuesday afternoon,
nfter a selection hud been rendered
by the city band, the members of
whicli, by thc way, are entitled to
all the encomiums showered upon
them for the excellent services rendered during the two days' celebration, the fair was officially opened
by Martin Burrell, M.P. for Yale
Cariboo. Mr. Burrell, who was introduced to the audience by Presi-
!ii dent H. C. Kerman, in a brief but
appropriate speech, spoke in part
as follows:
"Mr. President, Ladies and Gen
tleinen: In accepting the pleasant
task of opening this, the first fair
held in Grand Forks, peimit me to
congratulate you on the general excellence of the display. Such exhibitions serve two purposes—first,
that of stimulating local activities
and creating enthusiasm in the development of the particular district,
and second, that of showing to the
outside world the character of the
products of the district. In both respects this fair has already justified
its existence.
"A great change hns come over
this valley during the past ten years,
and while we are still firm believers
in the mineral resources of the district, it is a matter of rejoicing that
horticulture and agriculture are
daily receiving closer attention, and
that every proof is at hand tbat this
I pioneers of horticulture in ^this dis-
Q{f trict, men who, like Mr. Gilpin and
Mr. Covsrt, had the courage and
faith to plant orchards in those
earlier days, are still living amongst
us. It is only recently that we have
begun to recognize the commercial
importance of the fruit growing industry, and though many are embarking in it, there is no roo-n for
pessimism as regards the market and
for a district which can produce
such splendid fruit as is in this
building today. In the past twenty
years I have been a good deal connection with fruit exhibitions, and I
say without hesitation that you might
take Canada from end to end without finding better fruit, having regard to quality, color and uniformity, than is on the tables here.
"However, it is not only the fruit
which deserves mention, but many
other examples of local industries.
This ie essentially a community of
homes, and it is only natural that
the products of the home, such ts
fancy work, preserves, bread, etc.,
Bhould be represented not only in
quantity but quality. True, there
iB no exhibit of babies, but that
may come. It is certain that we
have lots of fine exhibits of that
kind which might be shown, but I
nnderstand that one of the difficulties in holding a baby show is to
find a man who has the necessary
courage to act as judge.
"Let me thank the directors for according a, fellow-townsman the privi
lege of making these few remarks,
ind conclude by expressing the wish
that you will thoroughly enjoy your
selves and by declaring this fair
now open."
Mr. Burrell was accorded a hearty
round of applauBe by the large crowd
spectators.
GOVERNMENT EXHIBIT.
The government exhibit, near the
entrance of the building, attracted
considerable attention. The department adopted this means as the
best way of teaching the public improved methods in poultry raising.
The exhibit consisted of properly fed
and dressed poultry, which had
baen properly packed; also broilers,
dressed ready for market. There
were also a few eggs—selects, Nos. 1
and 2, white and brown shells, in
proper fillers in cases. In addition,
there was on exhibition different
mashes which are used in feeding
poultry. The whole exhibit was well
illustrated by sketches, and showed
properly balanced ration for laying
hens, and included exhibits of grains
and mashes for poultry raising. The
dressed poultry was auctioned off at
the close oj the fair.
LOCAL INDUSTRIES.
One of the best exhibits under the
head of "made in Grand Forks'' was
the display of a Mission parlor set,
made by R, C. McCutcheon, the
cabinet maker. The pieces of furniture combined beauty of finish and
solidity to, resist wear. The latter
point was well illustructed by the
fact that the chairs in set had been
in constant use for over two years,
and they are aB solid today as the
day they left his shop. Included
in the set was  a valuable souvenir.

glass. Mr. McCutcheon makes
all kinds of a superior quality of
Mission fnrniture at prices that discount the imported factory-made
variety.
Another exhibit under the head
of local industries that attracted a
great deal of attention was the mini-
ture building erected by Lutley &
Galipeau, the concrete block manufacturers. Th.R is an industry that
has already been an important factor in giving the city a substantial
appearance, antl as tbe town grows
it will doubtless become more in
evidence. It is an enterprise capable of unlimited expansion, and on
this account it should be encouraged. Up to the present time blocks
have been turned out hy this firm
for four large building. This display was the source of much favorable comment, and every woid was
deserved.
The display of Frache Bros., of
the Columbia greenhouses, was su
perb, and nothing but praise was
hearflfor the magnificent collection of
(lowers and hothouse and field fruits
and vegetables. The Columbia
greenhouses are the largest in th
province, anJ the exhihit made on
this occasion was in line with the
reputation which this firm has gained
as being the most enterprising flor
ists in the province.
\V. H. Covert had moved his
cider press from his orchard to tin
ground in front of the entrance tt
the exhibition building, and gave
the people a demonstration of how
the culls of an orchard can be converted into money.
EXHIBITS OF BUSINESS FIHM8.
H. E. Woodland & Co., druggists; Heron it Miller, furniture and
hardware dealers, and A. S. McKim,
grocer, had pretty booths in the
main building. Their displays were
in keeping with the reputation which
these firms have gained lor enterprise.
MINERAL EXHIBITS.
The display of ores from all the
mining properties of the district was
very complete. Splendid specimens
were shown from the Granby mines
at Pboenix, from all the Franklin
camp properties, and from the Volcanic and Fife mines. The exhibit
of blister copper
smelter was very good, and   attract-
much attention.
An exhibit that attracted considerable was a collection of relics
from the Gettysburg battlefield,
made by H. A. Sheads, whose father
hail gathered the curios from the
historic battle-grounds.

Women who suffer with disorders peculiar to their
sex should write to Dr. Pierce and receive free tbe
advice of a physician of over 40 years' experience
—a skilled and successful specialist in the diseases
of women. Every letter of this sort has the most
careful consideration and is regarded as sacredly
confidential. Many sensitively modest women write
fully to Dr. Pierce wbat tbey would shrink from
telling to their local physician. The local physician
is pretty sure to say that be cannot do anything
without "an examination." Dr. Pierce holds that
these distasteful examinations are generally need*
less,  and  that no woman,  except  in  rare  cases, should  submit  to   them.
Dr. Pierce's treatment will eure you right in the privacy of
your own home. His " Favorite Prescription" has ouri '
hundreds  of thousands, some of them  the worst nl  easel
It is the only medicine of its kind that is the product of n regularly gratlunt' I

If you have indigestion, you don't
get all the nutriment out of your food
you should.
Yoar worn out stomach passes the
footl on without extracting enough
nutritious substance to supply the
blood and nerves.
And if the nerves are not supplied
with nourishment, they begin to rebel.
They   kick   up a great   disturbance.
They make you irritable antl cranky,
you worry about trifles, and you cannot sleep soundly at night, you have
bad dreams, and you get up tired in
the morning.
