Ringing Bros Excursions.

Special excursion rates on all lines
of travel have been arranged for by
the management of Ringling Brothers
Worlds Greatest Shows, and those
who wish to 90 to Tucson Tuesday,
October 6, can do so at very little ex-
pense This will be the only point in
this vicinity where the show will ex-
hibit this season, and no one should
miss the opportunity to witness it.
Ringing Brothers circus has been the
leading arenic exhibition of America
for cars, but the show has never been
permitted to rest upon its reputation.
Although it long ago passed the point
of competition, every season sees a
greater and grander show. This years
performance is entirely new, and en-
tails the combined efforts of 375
wonderful artists in the equestrian,
gymnastic, equiii iibristic, acrobatic and
aerial line, together with forty famous
clowns and hundred of lesser lights.
Six hundred and fifty horses are used
and marvellous trained animal de-
partment is presented. The circus
this season is greatly enlarged by the
spectacular production of Jerusalem
and the Crusades, a pantomimic pre-
sentation of the well known and beau
tiful historical narrative of the Cru
saders. The vast menagerie has among
hundreds of features the only living
pair of giraffes, the first baby elephant
successfully bred and reared in Amer
lea, and the only rhinoceros in captivity.
There is gorgeous revival of the
Roman hippodrome races, and many
other stupendous features in this great
ciscus. Circus day opens with briIli-
ant street parade. three miles in length
Don't fail to see it.

BIGGEST THE WORLD.
Arizona will Have the Largest Dam
Yet Constructed.

When completed. the Salt River
dam, in Arizona, will be the highest
in the world, and will store three
times as mnch water as any three
dams put together, its height from
lowest foundations being about 270
feet and its storage capacity being
about 100000 acre feet of water, or
sufficient to cover 100000 acres one
foot in depth.
Concerning this great and useful
project, Mr.. Arthur p. Davis, govern
ment engineer says:
Fifteen years ago the highest dam
in the world was in France. Its
height was l72 feet. Since that time
three dams far larger have been con-
structed in the United States, and
are now nearing completion. These
are the. Croton dam, for the water
supply of the city of New York. the
Clinton dam, for the water supply of
Boston, and the Cheecman dam, for
the water supply of Denver. When
completed, each of these dams will
hold record in some particular. The
Croton dam will hold the largest
amount of masonry, the Cheesman
dam Will be the highest, and the
Clinton dam will store the largest
quantity of water. = Los Angeles
