L. A. AnIRAULr BACK
He Has Already Begun the Building
 of "Greater Phoenix"

L. A. Amirault, better known as Gus Amirault, returned to Phoenix cou7 pie of days ago from Douglas where he has been most of the time since he left here two and a halg years ago. He has returned with the expectation Of remaining permanently, and as a dem Onstration of good faith ne has already begun the erection of another house in Phoenix. He will carry on the business of contracting, as during his former residence here.
 MT. Amirault has made a fiattering success of his business in Douglas, both contracting and speculating. He was there almost at the starting of the city and was not only one of the leading contractors in the building of it but made personal investments in building and in realty, all of which have turned out satisfactorily and af- forded him profits that enable him to make good on some of his Phocnix Investments that did not turn out as expected. He has unbounded confi- denee in Phoenix and purposes TOW to not only carefully guard his present interests but add to his holdings as much as possible. The d-outh and dull times rather crippled him financially, two or three years ago, but things have changed since then, not only with Phoenix but with MT. Amirault. who by the way is a man of great energy and the sort of a person that makes things change when they don't suit him. He has been employed a great deal of the time since he left here by the Copper Queen Co, and the Fl Paso & Southwestern Railway Co.,. and his relations with them have always been satisfactory. But the time has come when he wants to tie himself up to Phoenix.

BIG SHOW IS HERE
RIngling Brothers Circus Arrived in
 Town Last Night.

This is circus day in Phoenix and the small boy is happy The older folks are wearing rather a broad grin. too, for 1t will be up to them ito take the children" Ringing Bros biggest cir GUS in the world arrived in town last night after a big run from San Bernar- dino and at once the work of unload
 ing the iong trains was begun. An idea of the immense size of chis fg institution will be realized when the
 act is known that it requires S7 dou~
 ble-Iength railroad cars to carry it from one place of exhibition to anoth-
 CT. The train is divided into five sec
 tions containing r sleeping cars, 2 din-
 ing cars, one lunch car, 31 flat cars, 24
 horse cars, 8 elephant cars and one
 office car. In the stables of this big
 show are found nearly 700 horses, 450
 being draft horses, used for hauling the
 baggage wagons, parade wagons, cages
 etc. There are 30 thoroughbred rum ming horses, 100 highschooI performing horses, 50 ponies and about 30 driving horses. When the large tents are erect
 ed they present a canvass city which in size is almost beyond belief. There
 are twenty three tents in all, which in-
 clude the main or exhibition tent with
 a seating capacity for 12OOO people, a big menageTie tent, 2 side shows, 3 horse tents. 4 dressing rooms, 3 restau-
 rant tents, 2 repair tents, blacksmith shop, wardrobe tents, 1 animal hos pital tent, 1 tent for the electric light plant and one office tent. There are [ I2S0 people on the payroll. 1120 with the show and about 60 in advance. There are 500 laborers, 375 performers, 60 lnu- sicians and the balance on the business staff. In the menagerie will be found | 100 cages of rare wild beasts which is the most complete geological display in ! the world, and includes Baby Boo. '' l who bears the distinction of being the ! only American born elephant on Cx- hibition and baby camel born in Bos- | ton last spring. The circus perform l ance is by far the strongest ever offer 1 ed by Ringing Bros, and it is enough : to say that it is right up to the Ring | ling standard of excellence and in- l cludes many foreign acts seen this year l for the first time in this country. The l big street parade will leave the show grounds promptly at 10 o'clock and pass through the principal Business streets
 of the city. There win be two per | formances at and 8 D. m. and the
 doors will be open one hour earlier
 for an inspection of the big menagerie
 As a special convenience a down town
 ticket office will be open this morning at o'clock at Goodman's drug store l where reserved and general admission tickets can be bought at exactly tho same price as will be charged on ths
 show grounds.

THE NEW MoRLo PoMER

There is no longer any doubt that a new power of the first magnitude has arisen on the edge of eastern Asia Its rise has been almost miraculously "a pid, for though everybody is recalling premonitions which might have taught us all something. q truth in politics is not truth until it has been realized and acknowledged. Japan has sprung to the front in less than a half a gen eration.
 The new power is, in fact, ac- knowIedged to be one of the first class. far seeing, resolute, and possessed of immense resources for battle; and with that acknowledgement the bottom falls out of many of the data of European diplomacy. In a very short time the Japanese fleet may be made, it's advan- tages of position being considered, the strongest on the Pacific; and even as as it is, the current of the action Of | EuroPean n powers toward the states on the North Pacific will be abruptly ar
 rested. Who is to seize the eastern
 Archipelago. now the object of so many ambitions, if Japan remarks: No. -tha; | is part of my reversiOnary heritage 2' | Who is to dictate to China if Japan
