the fair visitors. The only embarrass-
ment is to decide what to secure
which of the attractions and how
many of them are desired. Applica-
tions are in from merry go-roun ds.
parachute jumpers, slack wire walk
ers, tight rope performers, fireworks
displays, bicycle riders, etc, etc. The
advertising has been seen by the
amusement makers everywhere, which
talking about the fair. The Barnes
theatrical exchange announces that it
is prepared to furnish almost anything
i'm its line.
And there are also many letters re-
ceived from people who desire to make
exhibits of one kind or another. Many
are from outside the territory and
have in mind future business desir-
ing to improve the opportunity the
fair will afford, for getting in touch
with Arizona people. A letter has been
received from J. w. Benham, at Port
land, in which he says that he will
devote all the time he can to seeing
exhibitors there with the idea of get
ting them to bring their displays to
the Arizona fair.
H. c. Lockett of Flagstaff was in the
city yesterday. He brought credentials
from the sheep and wool growers of
the north in which they asked that
Mr. LoclIett be placed in charge of the
sheep and wool exhibits, a request
Mr.. Clark was happy to grant. Good
news comes also from Mohave county.
For a time Mohave county seemed
diffdent about making a display at the
fair, but now the people Of that sec
tion are talking differently and prom

especially of minerals and mining en-
terprises, realizing that it will be
golden opportunity for them to not
only impress the rest of the territory
with their resources and their import
ance as a county, but that the atten-
ton of many tourists who Will be
here then. will be attracted in that di-
rection. This news of course is very
gratifying to the fair management.
\ recent issue of the Los Angeles
Mining Review, gives the fair some
excellent advertising, by publishing a
picture of the mining building, the
plans for which were drawn by
Creighton &Millard and duplicates of
which were furnished to that journal.
The same paper accompanies the pic
ture with a very pleasing sketch of
what the fair is expected to be.
Attention is again called to the mat
ter of merchants and public men ad
vertising the fair on their stationery.
1t is a good thing and everybody
should push il along. Some time ago
Mr.. Clark wrote to all the county
treasurers requesting them that when
they sent out their postal card notices
of taxes due, they add line in the
interest of the fair. The purpose was
to keep the fair before the people Of
the outside counties. who might other
wise forget about il, not being in the
presence of actual operations and not
approaching the full value Of the fair
Many Of these outside people, if they
will interest themselves, may send in
the best exhibits and anyhow it is
hoped that as many of them as posi-
BILE will come to the fair themselves.
Some fruit of this plan of advertising
/ is already apparent, though many Of
the tax collectors had their postal
cards already printed. Yesterday Mr..
Clark received a sample postal from
Con O'Keefe, tax collector of Santa
Cruz county, at the bottom of which
was printed in large type: First
Annual Territorial Fair, Phoenix,
Ariz. Remember the date, December
to 9, 1905"
