the net profit of the grower. The warmth of the valley 

 makes it an ideal peach-growing country, and apricots, 

 prunes, cherries and other fancy crops bring gratifying 

 financial returns. 



Settlers on the Uncompahgre project will have no 

 difficulty marketing their crops, as the Denver & Rio 

 Grande Railroad traverses the entire valley. Last year 

 the Montrose ranchers, through their local association, 

 shipped 288 cars apples, 10 cars peaches, 10 cars of mixed 

 fruits, such as apricots, cherries, grapes, ets., and 400 cars 

 of potatoes. Besides this, a large portion of the crop 

 was hauled in wagons to nearby mining camps and sold 

 at a high price. Most of the ranches in the valley are 

 small and compact. When settled under the government 

 plan, the unit will not be above 10 acres. The metropolis 

 of the Uncompahgre Valley is Montrose, an up-to-date 

 little city, with churches, theater, schools, etc. 



The turning of the waters into the Gunnison tunnel 

 will be fittingly celebrated early in September. Presi- 

 dent Taft is expected to be present at the time and make 

 an official inspection of the work. The Colorado chief 

 executive and many prominent citizens of the state and 



nation will be invited. President Taft 



is expected to press the button that will 

 send the waters rushing through the 

 tunnel and into the canal and will thus 

 mark the initial use of the greatest 

 irrigation work of the present age.

come together to broaden all and militate for the millen- 

 nium of universal brotherhood. 



Those who have craved to see Alaska find the won- 

 derfully complete exhibit that the land of gold, of forest 

 wealth, and of fishery millions, as well as of almost un- 

 paralleled beauty, ample to satiate their desire and give 

 them that erudition for which they have longed. The 

 warmth and color of the south seas has been transported 

 to the island exhibits, and the Philippines and Hawaii vie 

 with Alaska in the completeness of their story. Japan 

 demonstrates the wonderful strides towards the highest 

 civilization that recent years have seen taken in the 

 Orient, and characteristically makes even its most practi- 

 cal exhibits beautiful with unique art. The strumming 

 samison of the flowery kingdom is heard with the weird 

 melodies of the Asiatic mainland and the haunting voices 

 of Hawaiian singers. In contrast to this unfamiliar music 

 are concerts, classical and popular, of America's foremost 

 bands and of great choral bodies. 



The United States government is represented by a 

 larger building and more extensive exhibits than ever be- 

 fore and has joined with local enterprise in Hawaii, the 

 Philippines and Alaska to exploit these most valuable, 

 though not yet thbroughly acquainted, possessions. A 

 sum of $60,000 was appropriated by congress and this has 

 been utilized to splendid advantage at the fair where ten 

 millions of dollars have gone to woo success.
