TO IMPROVE STATE FAIR.
Propose Sanitary Sewerage and Toilet
Rooms-Need of Better Speed
Program

The total receipts of the state fair
as estimated hurriedly by the board
of managers, is $66,331. 1t is estimat-
ed that the net profits will be about
$4,000. About $4,000 was on hand at
the beginning of the fair and there
were no debts Needed improvements
including new fisheries building,
large machinery hall, an addition to
the amphitheater, well equipped
theater, an extension of the sewerage
system and new toilet rooms and
walks are already being discussed.
Any one or two of these improvements
will take all the money at the CON-
mand of the board. The state will
probably be asked to help the fair to
new building. What Improvement
the board will decide to make cannot
be known until the members make up
their minds and give expression in
future meeting
a Probably for the first time the speed
department more than paid expenses
and. in addition it probably was the;
inducement for many thousands of Wis
itors to pay their way into the fair.
The receipts of this department as es-
timated by Secretary W.. r. Mellor
were $10,048. This includes $2.142 re-.
ceipts from entries, $3.50 for stalls and
$7,746 for grand stand and quarter
stretch tickets. The management paid
out $6,143 in purses, 1852 for baseball
games, $1,263 for other expenses, max
ing total of $1,000, leaving balance.
of $1,000. s
Secretary Mellor regards toilet
rooms and sewerage as the crying
need of the fair Artificial stone walks
are needed in many places. A new
building. for the fisheries is a neces-s
sity and there is need of a large ma
chinery hall. For the convenience of
visitors theater building where a.
first class show can be given is con-.
sidered desirable. Some believe this.
would help the fair greatly. 1t is
argued that places of amusement are
now becoming necessary at first class
fairs and if the Nebraska fair desires
to keep pace with the. times it must
provide such feature. A. theatre
serves both as a place of amusement
and a place where visitors can obtain
half an hours rest, The need of more
grandstand room at the race course
is admitted by all who saw the large
crowds at the racing this year and last

bULLWHACKERM|NE HAS CHANGED
 HANDS
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Resulting from negotiations which have been under way for some time, an important mining deal was consum- mated yesterday, when F. A. Simon, the Bradshaw Mountain mining man, secured a bond on the Bullwhacker mine from R. II. Burmister. The exact consideration could not be learned but it is known to involve cash payment on the lst of January.
 Active work for getting the camp in. to shape for the accommodation of a large force of miners will be com menced at once, a hoisting and pumping plant will be installed and the work of unwatering the mine begun.
 The mine is located about three miles east of this city, immediately west of the Prescott and McCsbe stage road, on the summit of one of the low mountains overlooking the valley of the Four Mile house.
