ARIZONA'S BIG FAIR

why ever utiuy III hTlZOtia WHO can do so. should attend the Ter ritoria fair, Nov. II 16 and the majority of the people can do so ii they will only make up their minds to it and shape their business ac cordinglv. The railroads are offer ing in all cases not to exceed a fare and fifth for the round trip, in most cases one fare for the round trip and in some cases there will be special excursions that will bt cons;dera bly, cheaper
 The chief attraction will be the fair itself. Those who have neve, attended the fair, no matter how much they know about Arizona from reading or long residence have but a poor conception of how big this fair is going to he. No man interested in the live stock business, whether horses, cattle. sheep, swine or poultry can appre eiate what a fine aggregation of blooded stock will be shown with out coming to see 1t. In like man. ner, the mining man will have 8 fine surprise in the mining build ing. Every one of them should see 1t. each having first sent ir samples from his own mine. Of agriculture and horticulture the same may be said. Remembe this is not Salt River Valley. but an all-territorIal show There should he fruits and grains and flowers from every county. It is certain there will be fine displays in this line from Graham and Yuma, and there isn't a county in the Territory but has from one to l dozen fine valleys, little and big, where things grow. They should all be represented. Then there are the minor products, galore, vege- tab bles. honey. dairy and things too ing of mbering and manufactur- ing int terest s, inventions, etc Where are all the Arizona inven 'ors that keep breaking into th' papers? They should all be there
 And the woman's departments: fine arts. painting, fancy work culinary division, etc Then the educational department. Last year it was worth going miles to see. This year it will be better.
 Then comes the amusements Horseracing is the chief and it will not he merely for amusement: 1t will be the best on earth, and a score of horses that are crowding them closel lv-traceling in big company. Think of Dan Patck the fastest horse in the world, and remember, this may be the last time he ever travels this way. Think of all the young Arizona horses breaking into high places They are worth seeing. There will he other amueements, also-an athletic tournament, acroba,ic shows free. Indian day festivities. the most novel at any fair. and. to crown all. Hassayampa Day, pc culiar to Arizona and full of novel contests and prizes but best of all. roundup of all the old timers.
 Then there is to he a base hall tournament. Teams from several of the largest towns in Arizona Not scrub teams thrown togei her for the occasion. but first class teams that play league ball. If you are not ''fan" don't admit it., for you ought to be-
 But that is not all. That is only l brief index to the fair which it will take a week to see and see right. Besides that, there is to he business and pleasure down town If you belong to anything-church. Sunday School. lodge. business as snriafion. or what not, it fs likely there will he something to interest you in a business or social way.
