PERIOD A YEAR AGO
Over Two Hundred New Homes Are
Erected in Sixteen Days-Total
Valuation of improvements
Is $569,658

period last year. The total of valuation

worth mentioning. For the first sixteen
days ofaAugust this year the valuation OF
new work is s56965s, against $5S6,91S for
the same period in 1906.
Home building progresses steadily. Per-
mits for 2O6 new dwellings were issued,
indicating that the total for the month
will be about 400, which will be sub
stantial increase over other summer
months of the year.

The Arizona Fair
Phoenix, Ariz., Oct. 27, 1907.
Lloyd c. Henning, Editor,
HOlbrook, Arizona.

Unusual interest exists at pres
ent at the Fair grounds in the
different departments. Many
have been employed to clean up
and get in readiness the grounds
and buildings. The grounds pre-
sent the appearance of small
city-life and energy being evi-
dent in every direction.
There are now quartered in the
various live stock departments
hundreds of animals from differ
ent parts of the territory and
many imported from other states
for exhibition purposes and to
contest in the award otpremiums.
Horses of every description
have been assigned to their stalls
ranging from the largest Perch
eron and Shires to the smallest
of Shetlands. In the racing de-
partment hundreds are now here
exercising on the track and have
listed among them the most not
ed of horses. Dan Patch, the
greatest of all PAGERS, and Cres-
ceus, king of trOtters, accOmpan-
led by their running pace makers
are occupying their stalls. Other
horses that might be mentioned,
to show the class of harness hOr-
ses that are entered, are ArgOt
Boy, one Of DeRyder's fast pa
GERS, and Kinney Lou, the fast
trotting stallion belonging to
Budd DOble. These and many
other fast horses are now taking
their daily workouts. A list of
high class horses could be men
toned, if space permitted, which
would include a large number of
the greatest horses known.
Many interesting exhibits have
been made in the agricultural,
mineral, woman's and education-
al departments. Amusements
and attractions have been pro-
vided by the commission for
those who attend, that their
time may be agreeably occupied.
The Fair management is using
their utmost endeavOr to provide
Entertainment and accOmmOda-
t1ons for all who attend. For
those who prefer not to secure
apartments at hotels, arrange
ments have been made with the
Board of Trade whereby they
can procure rooms in private
families.
Rates have been made by the
different railroads of the terri
tory to and from the Fair that
are the lowest ever known.
Very truly yours,

Secretary.

A Chinese solomon.

A blind street musician, reports a
Chinese newspaper, stood on the shore
Of. a river, puzzled how to cross the
stream. He implored al oil dealer who
happened to. come along to ,ssist him.
The oil dealer had pity Oh the helpless
man, took him on his shoulders, gave
him his money bag to hold and carried
him across. When he deposited his bur
den on the other shore the blind man
refused to return him his money bag,
raised a noise and declared that the.
money was his property. The matter
came before the Judge, and each man
said on oath that the money belonged
to him. The Judge finally ordered the
bag of money emptied into a water
tank, and then suddenly announced
that the oil dealer was the owner.
When asked for the reason for his de
cision, he declared that the money of
the oil dealer must certainly show
traces of his business, and, indeed, on
the surface of the water tracer Of oil
were found.

to build his dam on end on. the very

town OF Niagara Falls when the ice
