THE ALBUQUERQUE FAIR

4>CAe VhOIuaN OCtOD0I tlHi 4NCW Mexico's Twenty seventh Annual Territorial Fair will open at AL uquerque, and from what we can learn, many Willia mites are going to attend.
 The most thrilling spectacle dur ing fair week will be Ri ghting tLe Flames" which presents wonder ful drama of metropolitan life.
 Fighting the Flames,' the worlds greatest fire show, that has been engaged at large expense by the management of the New Mexi- co territorial fair association, is a sensational and realistic exhibition of fire fighting and is educational in that it gives the people an idea of great city confagration. Ii is no moving picture show, but is an exact reproduction of a great fire.
 Two blocks of buildings are erected, fronting on a main street the tallest building being five stories high, and the buildings burned at every performance are so constructed that when the eli mlx of the fire is reached, these b ,ildings are an actual seethirg and burning mass.
 A woman makes a thrilling leap from the third story of the bum ing hotel into life net held hy iremeL; other women are rescued i from the roof of this same building md from the third, fourth and | fifth stories. Firemen slide down roofs with hysterical and fainting women in their arms; walls are scaled by fremen, and amid ex- citing and narrowing scenes, great sheets of fam mes shoot up from the building and from the roof, while clouds of black smoke roll skyward.
 These thrilling scenes are viewed from a grand stand far enough removed to insure the safety of spectators.
 The show carries two regulation steam fire engines, two hose wagons, d sixty five foot aerial truck, fire chiefs buggy, and a patrol wagon. All of this apparatus is brought into use during the fire scene.
 When the curtain is raised on the opening scene of the show, the appearance is one of busy corner in a large city; automobiles, wagons, cabs and other vehicles are seen passing to and fro on the streets; people are apparently pursuing their regular pursuits in life.
 In the attempt to arrest a drunken man, policeman is shot down in the street. His murderer is captured after an exciting chase in which he. also, is shot. A sensational murder, also, takes place in the wine room over a saloon, and two drunken men engage in street fight that is so spectators think they are in earnest
 These and many other exciting and funny scenes take place dur ing ths earlier part of the perform ance, and in the midst of 1t all, fire is started in paint shop adjoining the hotel.
 In an instant everything is con- fusion. The fire alarm is sounded and soon the apparatus is on the way to the scene. An explosion blows out the front of the paint shop, and while great tongues of fla me shoot up through the build

HE CALLED TO REPORT
On the Progress Of Matrimonial Affairs
Just a Little Joke

The timid young man walked into
Deputy Clerk speake's office and
bashfulIy remarked, Il have come to
report. I'm treatin' her all right and
she's treatin' me all right" And the
smiling clerk smiled more broadly, as
sured the caller that he was pleased to
hear the report and politely invited
him to come again.
The explanation Of this perform
ance is that when Mr.. Speake ties the
matrimonial knot for loving pair,
he frequently jocularly informs the
groom that he must report at least
once month on the way the affairs
Of the domestic partnership are pro-
crossing and especially how hubby"
is treating "wifey."
"When must ! come again?" in
quired the last caller at the office, and
he was much relieved when informed
that the report was very satisfactory
and henceforth there would be no
necessity for further reports.

cotton, but in the excitement, the heat
and binding smoke very little was
accomplished and the men finally
went to where the cotton had been
rolled to the edges Of the dock and
saved some few bales by rolling it
further away. G. H. Caneman, mana
ger Of the compress, L. M. Potts and
c. T. Doss, bOokkeeper, worked like
Trojans, unmindful Of the fierce heat
in an effort to save some Of the prop
erty. Mr.. Doss had a miraculous
escape from cremation, for after hav-
ing done valiant work for over an
hour he was overcome by the intense
heat and fell in a faint between two

Of checking the flames.
1t was fortunate that the wind was
blowing from the north. Had it beer
in the east, It is doubtful if the fire
could have been kept from reaching
the business part of town. Masses Of
burning material were borne high in

most million dollars worth Of prop
erty had ben destroyed. The fire de-
partment responded promptly and
worked heroically as did also the men
from the cotton oil mill, but the
streams had no effect.
Long trains loaded with cotton
which stood on either side Of the COM
press were hauled to safety while FIVE
hundred men begun the work Of
throwing bales from the dock to the
ground in the hope Of saving some Of
it, but the heat and wind were too

company were IN the Office safe which

in good shape when the safe is opened.

gers and owners Of the compress to

to prevent any possible spread Of
the flames. 1t will be days before
the debris ceases to shoulder.
AT three o'clock the fire
is burning fercely and the Cotton oil
mill people are apprehensive that the
strong wind now blowing may change
and imperil that plant which with
its contents is worth close to a mil
hon dollars. Men are at work with
teams at the north and northeast Of
the fire blowing up the ground so
that if the wind should change the
particles Of cotton strewn over TIE
ground win be turned under and moi
afford means Of communication.
Several streams of water are playing
on the cotton standing around the oil
mill and on the buildings. 1t will
be four or five days at the most be-
fore the fire is entirely out and dan
ger to the oil mill is not over until
then. Men win be on the lookout all
night.

fire with a stream of water turned
the stream in the direction of Mr..
Doss, who was lying unconscious out
of their sight. The water happened
to strike him in the face and he re-
turned to consciousness to find that
bales of cotton on all sides of him
were burning and the flames roaring
above his head. He was able with an
unusual effort to get to a place Of
safety where he soon recovered.
The Chickasha compress was built
four years ago and was the property
