Some have been gold seekers and prospectors, others collectors of one kind or another, ex perts and amateurs. Comb the Territory Today there are at least 20 men who work in the lapi dary and comb the territory for material with which to work. It is not a hobby with them but a "ruling passion." The cycle of interest varies with the novelty of discovery. Dendrite agates and the many other gem varieties were con verted into jewelry at one time. Large blocks of varie- polished into book ends. Then the wave of interest ran to moss and plume, wood and sagenite, iris and thunder eggs. Remarkable picture agate were found. In the past year, new life has been injected into the rock hunting expeditions with the jade material found in the Applegate and the Klamath River district. Now the big interest centers in rhodonite and some remarkable sped mcnts are being brought in. This is a bright pink stone, popular in Russia. Within Few Hours "Rocky" Farlingcr and Charley Coleman are the ex- day passes that they do not bring forth some new and exotic blend of stone found within a few hours run from White City.

The fair was conceived as a tourist attraction and a spoof of the Seattle World's Fair. It opened in a relentless downpour of rain June 2 and seldom found its head above water for the rest of the sum mer. A second "official opening" two weeks later did bring about 25.000 curious visitors to this village of 200, but backers soon found that few tourists would stop to see the sights when they were only four or five hours away from the big fair. Total attendance was about 150.000. The fair soon was faced with debts and lawsuits. It was padlocked by the sher iff once and part of its office building was torn down by an irate contractor who hadn't been paid for building it. One Horse Power The main attractions were a 10-foot high "Peace Candle" and a small revolving restau rant. Original plans called for one horse to produce the pow er used to make the restau rant revolve, but ultimately a small motor was used. Through it all.

"We plan to get a top fair manager next year, rearrange the buildings and tighten things up. We want to pay our creditors next year." One segment that will slay open is the Western Town. It is run by a separate corpora tion. Gunfights. stagecoach rides and entertainment at the Golden Nugget Saloon will be offered every week end. word, the "Truth or the Liv ing Word."
