MORE IMPROVEMENTS
 Al FAIR GROUNDS
Facilities for HOrsemen and Live
 Stock Exhibitors.

The Arizona Fair association held a meeting on Saturday that was of con siderable importance in view of the plans decided upon. The Fair commits sion also held a meeting on Saturday that really was not finished until yes
 terday when the final conferences rip ened the plans into decided action. Lest some readers may confound the two bodies it is explained that the Fai~ association is a local corporation which owns the fair grounds and some of the buildings thereon. the race track. etc. and leases the premises each year to the territory for the annual fair. con trolling the grounds between fairs and renting them for any desirable amuse- ment purposes and giving racing mat i1ees when il chooses. The Fair com mission is composed of three men ap- pointed by the governor, who have charge of the annual fair. employ a superint endent or manager and other officials and direct the big annual show. The commissioners this year are the same men who so successfulI. managed the first fair. Messrs. J. C. Adams. T. E. Pollock and B. 4. Pack ard sga
 Fhe meeting of the Fair association on Saturday was presided over by First ce-President Isaac r. Stoddard The most important incident was the de cision to build a restaurant or eating house on the premises or rather to aII- thorizt it, the importance of this being in the fact that the grounds are so far out of town it is almost impossible for ihe men employed there to board in town. The lack of this convenience kept many horsemer vrom wintcring their horses there last year after the fair was over, and beginning late in the season, no private individual cared to undertake the chances of a restau- rant near the grounds fearing the patronage would not justify it. This year there are already good many horses on the grounds and more will come just as soon as this want is sup piled. There will be a liberal patron age for such a place from now until after the fair. without doubt. and there is every reason to believe a good trade will be maintained all winter for of the large number of horses and horseme1 that are sure to be here for the fair. many will remain for the entire season if they can get accommodations. Fur thermore. it is the purpose of the asso- citation to give matinees at frequent in tervals all winter long. which will be an inducement to the horsemen to stay and will add much to the profits of an CatIng house. Vice-President Stoddar,I and Secretary Tharaldson were ap- pointed a committee to enter into a contract with some suitable person to build an eating house and conduet the business. They will be pleased T con fer at once with any or all persI S in. terested-

of the grounds. north from the en- trance gate Permission was also granted the commission to construct office rooms for it's own convenience under the south end of the grand stand.
 Instruction was also given for the i'm mediate placing of the track in the best possible condition, which means as good as anybody's race track, and that work will be undertaken, probably today. The track last year was good one and this year will be still better if a track can be made any better.
 At the meeting of the Fair commis sion" the erection of eighty new eNhi- bition stalls for livestock was decided upon These will be in the place in- dicated above just north of the en- ed immediately on visiting the premises grounds. where visitors will be attract ed immediately O visiting the premises. There is little doubt but that every stall will be occupied and it is not un- likely there will be still further de- mands. The free freight offered by the railroads will insure the exhibition of much livestock from other points in the territory than this valley. There ought to be cattle. sheep. horses and poultry from the north and the same from the east, south and west except perhaps sheep which are not raised exteu- sively in the south.
 It was decided also to increase the size of the annex to the main exhibition building by fifty per cent. thus adding about 5000 feet of space to this struc- ture. This building. like the annex proper. will be temporary for as soon as the legislature meets again It is hoped provision will be made for large permanent exhibition building.
 New shelving will be placed in the mining building 90 it win accommodate a much larger display.
 One of the cattle barns will be added to the poultry department and be fitted up for a poultry display. The poultry department last year proved to be one of the surprises of the fair and promises this year to beat it's own record by a large percentage.
 The racing department last year wa all around but this year if is expected it will be much more SO. There are more youn~ valley horses

Weather Not Unusual.

Though the month of August
seemed to be an exceedingly hot
month, the record registered in
the government weather bureau
at Chicago shows that it has
been an ordinary one in all re-
spects. On three days only did
the temperature go above 80 de-
grees-Aug. 20, 81 and %.
The mean temperature for Au-
gust, 1906, was 75.5 degrees; the
mean August of 1905 was 1875
and for August for the last thir-
ty-fve years it was 71.9 degrees.
The highest temperature for
August, 1906, was on the 22d,
when it reached so degrees. The
lowest was So degrees on the
27th. The highest temperature
in August, 1905, was so degrees
and the lowest 62, the mean for
that month being "A degrees.
The highest temperature ever
recorded in Chicago was July FL,
1901, when 103 degrees in the
shade was registered. The high
est for 1906 was on June 80.
when SO degrees in the afternoon
was reached. In August, 1900.
the average for a whole week
was SO degrees, which was a rec
ord.
Regarding humidity the rec
ords show that last month held
its own for seasonableness. The
mean was 74.5 per cent for the
month. For August of 1905 the
mean was 70 per cent and FOR the
last thirty-five years it was 71.5
per cent, making the month of
this year but a shade over the
grand average for the thirty-five
years.
The month was deficient in
rainfall compared with Augusts
of other years, as only 1.43
inches fell during the entire
month. In August, 1905, the
rainfall was the heaviest in thir-
ty-hve years, registering 4.46 in
ches for the month. The average
for the month during the thirty
FIVE years was 2.95 inches.
The number of rainy days last
month was nine. The average
of rainy days during the las
thirty-hve years was nine, SO last
month was an average one as to
rainfalls.
No exceedingly high winds
we're registered, the average not
going above fifteen miles an
hour for the entire month, which
is about an average for the
month since 1871.
1t should be recollected how
ever, that Chicago during the.
month of August this year was
cooler than usual when compar-
ed with the surrounding country

Most of the members of the

vicinity and several widows,
sons and daughters of those dead

were present along with some
veterans of other regiments,
which made a large gathering,
and it was an enjoyable occa-

Dinner was served at the Argos
House instead of having it cook
ed by the wives of veterans,
which gave the ladies chance
to visit and enjoy the reunion
more fully than formerly.
